Game of Thrones | Song of Ice and Fire

Although HBO has attempted to stop  Game of Thrones  leaking this year by not releasing early review copies of each episode, somehow episodes have still found their way online before the official broadcast. First of all, the sixth season’s debut appeared online just hours before broadcast. Now, the fifth episode, titled  ‘The Door’ , has leaked, according to  Torrent Freak . The initial upload occurred more than 24 hours before the episode was set to broadcast on HBO, and soon after a high-quality video appeared on Torrent websites. Ironically, the leak hasn’t been traced back to hackers but to HBO themselves – keen fans noticed the episode had been uploaded early to HBO Nordic. A screenshot of the episode available on the website has appeared online.

Helen Sloan/HBO Warning: Spoilers ahead for “Game of Thrones” season six. The internet is darker and more full of spoilers than ever these days — and “Game of Thrones” is no exception. But the problem that has arisen in the last several weeks has nothing to do with spoiler-filled discussions of the episodes after they air. A man known as the “Spanish Spoiler” is uploading videos to YouTube in which he details the entire plot of the upcoming week’s episode. But he’s doing it two full days before HBO airs the show. In each video description, the mysterious YouTuber writes the following disclaimer (roughly translated using Google): I cannot put spoilers for the 3rd episode of the 6th season of Game of Thrones, because HBO forbids it. But we can always count predictions, theories, and make analysis of what will happen. And who knows, maybe guess everything. Nothing about the Spanish Spoiler’s descriptions is guesswork. Multiple plot details ...

HBO Spoilers  for the season premiere of  Game of Thrones   are below. The sixth season premiere of  Game of Thrones , titled  “The Red Woman,”  ended with a major shocker for viewers, as the titular character — the Lady Melisandre — revealed that she’s been keeping a very big secret since she first appeared on the series. As unveiled in the episode’s final scene, Melisandre has been keeping her appearance magically disguised all along. Her true visage isn’t that of 39-year-old actress Carice van Houten — instead, she is immensely older. HBO Oh hai. It’s a revelation that certainly makes us look at some earlier scenes — like Melisandre’s seduction of Stannis Baratheon back in season two and  attempted seduction of Jon Snow  in season five — in a new light. And it’s another example of magic taking a more prominent role in  Game of Thrones  as the series moves toward its conclusion. (There will likely  only be two mor...

Alfie Allen and Sophie Turner star in Game of Thrones: The Red Woman   CREDIT: HBO Some major cliff-hangers were left unresolved The tension was incredible as  Game of Thrones  season six opened with the camera swooping low over Castle Black, alighting on the scene of noble Jon Snow’s bloody run-in with the traitorous Night’s Watch. Alas, the Bastard of Winterfell (Kit Harington) was, for the time being at least, staying very dead indeed , as confirmed by a haunting close-up of his waxy visage and the pool of scarlet arranged like a skewed halo. S hort of spelling out “He’s Dead!” in huge flaming letters it’s hard to see how much more emphatically show-runners David Benioff and DB Weiss (they also wrote the episode) could have driven the point home. W as this a sadistic riposte to fans who have spent the best part of a year constructing elaborate conspiracy theories as to when and how the grumpy heartthrob will return? Or a s...
