News and Analysis on the ongoing Game of Thrones / A Song of Ice & Fire franchise, books and TV series, including the prequels and spin offs, starting with House of the Dragon.
A lot of my focus is on researching what's going on behind-the-scenes: not just "reacting" to an episode or story elements, but investigating what the cast & crew reveal about how it was made. This extends to broader issues about "state of the industry" topics, which affect what projects get greenlit and which don't.
When I have time I also report on shows similar to Game of Thrones / House of the Dragon, the major competitors among "the most talked about TV and movie projects". Right now the only other one I'm going to try to report on is Amazon Prime's Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power prequel series, because I already know the books and backstory well enough that I don't need to re-read them, so I can make quick reactions off the top of my head.

Ryan Condal has extended his overall deal contract with HBO through 2029; This indicates that 1 - HBO seems pretty happy with what they're seeing from Season 3 production, 2 - while this in no way indicates we'll get HotD Season 5 or a super-sized Season 4, or a Regency sequel....it doesn't hurt! Realistically though Condal said that this year he bought a new house in LA to move back to the USA from England. He might be shifting into more of a "Kevin Feige" style overall management role for the World of Westeros Cinematic Universe (or "WWCU") than out in the trenches directly serving as showrunner on new projects.
Either way, encouraging signs that there isn't friction between HBO and Condal.

New teaser image for House of the Dragon Season 3 confirms the months-old leak report I made a video on only a few days ago, that yes Gwayne Hightower will be in Tumbleton and meet his cousin Ormund at some point during parley. SOME chance these are Oldtown flashbacks, either is good.

Which of these two new Title-card backgrounds is more eye-catching? Minimalist white text on black? Or, against the World Map (using Drop Shadow effect on the text so it still stands out)?
