"I Have Not Had One Discussion About Lady Stoneheart": 'Game Of Thrones' Director Has Just Slain Famous Fan-Theory!
Wow, what a week! Someone has plunged the sword 'Hypeslayer' deep into some of our favourite Game of Thrones fan-theories. It was bye-bye to Syrio Forel's return, wave ta-ta to Cleganebowl, and Lady Stoneheart has sunk like the proverbial stone in the river. Whilst we are still sure of a gripping final two episodes this year, it is a shame to know that some of our favourite storylines won't play out in Season 6...or probably ever!

George R.R. Martin's Original Plan For 'Game of Thrones' Involved A Lannister-style Stark Romance!
We are now heading into the tail end of HBO's Game of Thrones, which has graced our screens with its blood since 2011. There are said to only be two final seasons, and even these could be reduced in length (cue beheading emoji)! Whilst the show has distanced itself from George R.R. Martin's books, the books we have today aren't even how Martin originally intended his A Song of Ice and Fire saga to play out. Last February the Harper Collins Twitter page posted an early proposal letter dated 1993 from Martin to the publishers. Whilst the tweet was quickly deleted, its contents is still floating around reddit, tumblr and deep-web pages. Think of this as Ramsay's letter to Jon Snow, but with less/more rape (depending how you look at it). For those hoping that the contents of this letter will reveal how the show ends, tough luck, some sneaky Snow has blacked out the all-important last paragraph. Nevertheless, spoilers to follow, so let's take a look at how it could've happened!

Marvel Cinematic Universe: Disassembled
2017 has seen a major shift for Marvel Comics and it isn't even over yet. When it comes to comics, after the controversial Secret Empire storyline, the popular company looks to begin anew with Marvel Legacy. On the big screen James Gunn and crew are returning for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. Considered the first big movie of the summer went on to gross $145 million domestically with an additional $124 overseas. In comparison Fate of the Furious brought in $98.8M, Logan clawed its way to $70M and the original Guardians opening to $94 million in the US. Perhaps the most exciting Marvel project is the upcoming Netflix series, The Punisher.

Name Of Thrones: Are These The Titles For The Final 3 Episodes Of 'Game Of Thrones'?
What is in a name? Well, if a girl has no name, it is pretty useless. HBO's Game of Thrones is usually cryptic with its episode titles, but this season they have been somewhat self-explanatory. The first episode, "The Red Woman," was all about everyone's favorite G.I.L.F. Melisandre, while Episode 5, "The Door," was literally about a man called Hodor holding a door. We already know that next week's Episode 7 is titled "The Broken Man" — that is more of a head-scratcher.

Murder School Is Now In Session - New Trailer For Rob Zombie's '31'!
After what seems like an eternity, we finally have a trailer for Rob Zombie's long awaited gore-fest 31. Premiering at this year's Sundance Film Festival, this is the first time we have seen a trailer for the clown-filled horror. If you are a Zombie fan, then you will know that his films like House of 1000 Corpses and sequel, The Devil's Rejects, don't scrimp on the gore factor. The trailer promises that 31 is his sickest outing yet, and it certainly doesn't disappoint on that front.

'Game Of Thrones' Season 6 - Have The Lannisters Lost Their Roar?
So, this week's Game of Thrones, "Blood Of My Blood", was the first episode of the season where no blood was actually spilled! In an episode of family reunions and home troubles, we got an hour long soap opera. We had the winners - go team Stark, but we also had some losers - boo team Lannister. Arya's holiday in Bravos saw the return of the acting troupe, and whilst it was amazing to see the superb Richard E. Grant as a farting Tywin Lannister, slain on the toilet, it also highlighted what a laughing stock the fabled family have become. Looking at the family tree, there aren't exactly a lot of Lannisters still knocking around Westerors. They seem to be failing at everything they do recently and aren't even allowed to sit with the cool kids at the small council meetings. Without Tywin Lannister to lead them, is this the beginning of the end for the mighty lions?

New Footage Means We Are One Step Closer To HBO's Westworld!
It is about bloody time! After waiting, and waiting, and waiting some more, new footage indicates that we might finally be about to see HBO's long delayed show Westworld. Based on Michael Crichton's 1973 film, the idea of Westworld was first pitched two years ago and due to be released at the start of this year. Delays and reshoots mean that it has been pushed back to an 'unspecified' date. Luckily an extended trailer of the sci-fi western aired at the ATX Television Festival on Saturday, and the reviews seem pretty impressive.

It may have been six years since we waved goodbye to the cast of Oceanic 815, but our thoughts are still with ABC's island epic, LOST.

Even now you would struggle to find someone who doesn't remember one of the show's many WTF twits! If you still need a map to navigate yourself around the show, here are ten of the biggest moments that made LOST, LOST!

Everyone Is Talking About The New Thronemance On 'Game Of Thrones'!
Awww, it is almost enough to melt the ice around the Wall. Amongst all the flaying, burning corpses and chopped off manhood, HBO's Game of Thrones actually does sometimes have a romance story. We had Catelyn and Ned, Robb and Talisa, Jon and Ygritte, they all ended well — right? Well, Season 6's fourth episode, "Book of the Stranger," gave hope to a whole new romance between Brienne of Tarth and Tormund Giantsbane, in what I am dubbing Brimund (patent pending).

Not Happy With Game of Thrones? There's A Kickstarter For That
Wait, they just killed who?! Cue angry Facebook emoji button. A review of an episode of HBO's Game of Thrones is a lot like the Night's Watch's attack on Jon Snow - quick, bloody and cold. No longer content with point out plotholes on Reddit some GoT fanboys are now giving you the chance to change exactly what you you don't like about your favourite Westerosi characters. No.1 on the Arya Stark hit-list of duff plotlines is our visit across the Narrow Sea to Dorne. Now, a Kickstarter project from Fixing Dorne Productions is asking for a mere $20 million dollars to change two season's worth of David Benioff and D.B. Weiss's work...wow, someone really doesn't like Dorne!
