It can be hard out there for an imp. So it makes sense that Tyrion Lannister, the brains behind the whole House of Lannister operation, might be looking for a new gig via the career site LinkedIn. We found Tyrion’s profile (which was sadly taken down shortly thereafter), and a couple of other “Game of Thrones” players eager to make a career move. Check out the rest of Tyrion’s profile, and a couple of others, after the jump! Keep reading »

5 Things We Learned At The “Game Of Thrones” Exhibit
Yesterday, Amelia and I went to the traveling “Game of Thrones” exhibition, because we are queen nerds who love nerding out about Khaleesi, Jon Snow, Cersei and the rest of the gang. The “GoT” exhibit’s made a major splash in NYC, with people lining up down the street and around the block for the chance to sit upon the Iron Throne. Amelia and I are super impatient, so I called up the exhibit’s organizers and got press passes so we could cut the line. After today, the collection goes to Sao Paulo, Brazil; Amsterdam, The Netherlands; and Belfast, Ireland, so if you’re in any of those spots, check it out. If not, we’ve got five important tidbits we learned during our visit…

If Websites Existed In “Game Of Thrones”‘ Westeros
Caldwell Tanner didn’t use HBO’s Join the Realm website to create these unique House Sigils. Instead, he came up with his own designs for what popular websites might hang from their proverbial castle walls if they lived in the world of “Game of Thrones.” And we decided to join in on the fun. Look at the House Sigils and mottos from Twitter, Wikipedia, The Mary Sue, and more! Read more…
George R. R. Martin Says He Is “A Feminist At Heart”

“There was a period in my life when I would have called myself a feminist, back in the seventies, when the feminist movement was really getting going and growing out of the counter culture of the sixties,’ he says. ‘But the feminist movement has changed. Sometime in the 80s and 90s I read some pieces by women saying that no man can ever be a feminist and you shouldn’t call yourself that because it’s hypocritical, so I backed off. I thought if the current crop of feminists believes that no man can be a feminist, then I guess I’m not one.”
– Game of Thrones creator George R. R. Martin spoke with the UK’s Telegraph about how positively women have responded to his books and the HBO series based on them, and, as a result, ended up “coming out” as a feminist. While it appears that he feels somewhat cagey about using the word because some feminists might not accept him, he goes on to articulate his obviously feminist views: “To me being a feminist is about treating men and women the same. I regard men and women as all human — yes there are differences, but many of those differences are created by the culture that we live in, whether it’s the medieval culture of Westeros, or 21st century western culture.” Indeed. Sounds like he’s a feminist to me. While there are certainly some women who are bothered by the at times gratuitous nudity on the show, “Game of Thrones” also has one of the most diverse casts of complex female characters on television, thanks to Martin’s vision. That’s cool in my book. [Telegraph UK]
10 Things You Didn’t Know About “Game Of Thrones”
It’s been a long break, but “Game of Thrones” is back! Season three starts this Sunday and that’s far better than winter coming. I can finally bask in all the glory that is King in the North, Robb Stark. Thank The Seven. This season promises everything we’ve grown to expect like Joffery being a creep, totally sweet dragons and surprisingly smart political intrigue.
But, despite the hours of complicated plot details and a constantly widening landscape (or maybe because of it), there are some things even the most focused fan might miss. And lovely reader, that’s where we come in! Here are the questions you didn’t even know you had about good old “GoT.” Read more…

This has been a big week. The Supreme Court has been hearing arguments in two key gay marriage cases — the Defense of Marriage Act and California’s Proposition 8 — and their eventual judgments will essentially reveal how the highest court in the land views the constitutionality of a ban on gay marriage. Supporters of marriage equality have been showing their support in a variety of ways, including changing their Facebook profile photos to some iteration of the equals sign in solidarity. Opponents of gay marriage have also been using Facebook to express their wildly cringeworthy, ignorant and discriminatory views. As this Sunday is the premiere of season three of “Game of Thrones,” here are 17 “GoT” GIFs reacting to some of the most inane (and public) anti-gay marriage status Facebook updates. Because marriage equality is coming and Westeros does not suffer fools. Keep reading »

Confession: I’ve never seen “Game of Thrones.” I know, I know; I shouldn’t be allowed to work for the Internet. I’m just a little bit gore-sensitive, like this one time I watched this movie “Valhalla Rising” and found it viscerally disturbing to the point of tears, and I’m worried that “GoT” is going to be like that for me, too. I should at least give it a chance, right? Anyway, even though I’ve never seen her in the show as Daenerys, I’m kind of obsessed with Emilia Clarke. She has the coolest eyebrows! And, duh, she looked amazing in this Victoria Beckham dress at the Season 3 premiere yesterday. I want her to be everywhere… and she probably will be. I just hope she isn’t actually dating Seth MacFarlane. She could do so, so much better.
