We’re at about the half-way point between seasons of Game of Thrones, which means we’ve had plenty of time to both digest what happened this year and prepare ourselves for next year. So here’s a recap of the 7 highlights that stood out most to me this year.
With a tumultuous summer of super-hero movies, and none more on the horizon until Avengers 2 breaks every record next May, we thought it was a good time to pause and evaluate the top 20 Marvel movies (so far). Each entry includes a short synopsis, some video, and the film’s Rotten Tomatoes score and worldwide gross (unadjusted).
Join us with our Marvel movie countdown as we go from 10 to 1. If you missed the first part, we’ll wait for you.

So after a few weeks of denial, anger, bargaining, and depression, I think I’ve finally accepted that Game of Thrones is, indeed, not coming back until 2015. One of the things I miss at least as much as the show is the ritual of getting together on Sunday evenings with friends to watch the show, then discussing it online and at work the next day. Game of Thrones actually made the worst part of the week the best part of the week. So I have put together this “watch list” to help your group keep momentum for the next (sigh) 40 weeks or so when Season 5 starts.
What if Billy Joel had been in Westeros? Well, he probably would have been beheaded by Joffrey. But not before writing this.
Is the HBO series Game of Thrones really as incredible a text-to-film adaption as, say, The Lord of the Rings, or is it merely coasting on the quality of its source material like, say, The Hobbit? Well just like in Westeros, there are no clear answers. To get ready for the debut, presented are the 7 best and worst changes from the books to the TV show. May the Father judge HBO justly.
It's time to finally have "the talk" with Google+
