The scripts from Game of Thrones season 8 suggest that Jon Snow doesn’t sleep. The HBO series officially came to an end after a six-episode eighth season this past spring, with showrunners, David Benioff and D.B. Weiss receiving a lot of criticism for the way they approached the fantasy series. Jon’s lack of sleep seems to be directly related to his connection with the Lord of Light. In the Game of Thrones season 5 episode, “Mother’s Mercy,” the Lord Commander of the Night’s Watch was preparing a plan regarding the White Walkers....

We’ve got a rule around here: If you can only get free shipping through a monthly or annual membership fee, you can hardly call it “free.” What’s the best way to score this gift-giving season without the hidden costs?

The screenshot below is the good ole’ Google Reader layout. It doesn’t have any fancy bells and whistles, but it sure does get the job done. There are a ton of options and it lets you quickly sort through and read your subscriptions, but where is the fun in that? Here is where Google Reader’s “Play” comes in. It is a jet black background with auto-sized RSS feed content over the middle....

Chandler may be the lovable, charming, permanently self-deprecating member of the Friends crew, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t have his moments of selfishness! Over the years, Chandler has done some pretty awful things in the pursuit of women and his own self interest (usually both), and they show that he may like to crack jokes at his own expense, but he’s not shy when it comes to being shameless from time to time....

Futurama is one of the funniest science fiction series ever to air on TV. The animated classic is the brainchild of Matt Groening who also created The Simpsons. The show’s protagonist is Fry, a less-than-intelligent delivery boy who is cryogenically frozen 1999 and awakens in the year 3000. The show follows his adventures along with his best friend, the robot Bender, and his love interest, a one-eyed mutant ship’s captain named Leela....

Sophia Turner from Game of Thrones is pregnant as the star announced they are expecting her first child with her pop-star husband Joe Jonas. The couple has kept a low profile from the public eye lately and now fans understand why. After staring in the famed HBO show for eight seasons, the English actress became a household name. Turner’s role earned her an Emmy Award nomination for the acting. While Jonas shot to fame with his two brothers in their boy band....

HBO’s epic Game of Thrones finished in controversy as many narrative threads were left unexplored with multiple questions completely unanswered. While the books do a good job of exploring these subject matters further, the TV show is quite different. The Westeros we find on HBO isn’t completely like what we see in the novels. Therefore, there are several queries regarding groups such as the Free Folk. Here are 10 questions we have about the Free Folk that are still left open-ended....

WARNING: Spoilers for Game of Thrones season 8, episode 3. The Night King is dead, thanks to the latest episode of Game of Thrones: does that mean Arya Stark is the reborn Azor Ahai. The Battle of Winterfell was the epic bloodbath that fans predicted, with multiple major deaths, a mid-air dragon battle, and of course, the end of the Night King. After being lured into the Godswood at Winterfell by Bran, it seemed that the Night King was going to win… before Arya leapt in, managing to stab him, destroying every White Walker, wight, and even undead Viserion in a single instant....

Foxconn’s first planned U.S. manufacturing plant is reportedly set to open in Wisconsin. This was first rumored last month as one of seven candidate states … CNBC reports that it will be officially announced this evening in an event to be attended by President Trump, Governor Scott Walker and Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Paul Ryan. It’s not known which city has been selected. While Foxconn is a major Apple supplier, and the report coincides with a claim by Trump that Apple would be opening manufacturing plants in the USA, it’s not believed that this plant will make products for the Cupertino company....

For eleven long, critically acclaimed, highly watched, and intensely beloved seasons, Frasier was one of the best series on all of television, sitcom or otherwise. Even two decades after its original airing, the series continues to stand the test of time as one of the best there ever was, and one of the best sitcoms, most of all. It’s hard, honestly, to pinpoint any seasons or episodes of Frasier that are all bad....

Rise of the Resistance, Galaxy’s Edge’s flagship attraction at Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Florida’s Walt Disney World Resort, debuted with issues as the ride itself broke down on opening day. The trackless dark ride features a motion simulator and puts guests in the middle of the conflict between the First Order and the Resistance, giving fans the feeling of living inside the ongoing sequel trilogy. There’s a long lead-up to the ride with visitors entering a pathway into the forest of what seems like an old hub for ancient civilization....

Attracting the smartphone aficionados and elite shoppers is something Apple has been attempting to do for years with its top-end iPhones. That slot is currently occupied by the iPhone 13 Pro, and its larger iPhone 13 Pro Max cousin. The two devices may be nearly identical in their internal specs, but the larger display of the Pro Max makes it Apple’s closest (and most expensive) analogue to the Galaxy S22 Ultra....

Catelyn Stark (Michelle Fairley) may have died too soon in Game of Thrones - but thanks to the costumes, she was actually around far longer than most fans think. The matriarch of the Stark clan was killed off back in season 3, in ‘The Rains of Castamere’… aka The Red Wedding. Brutally murdered, it seemed that this was the end of Catelyn - despite many series fans eagerly awaiting her return as the undead-ish Lady Stoneheart (which is what happens in the series)....

According to a visual effects supervisor on the show, Lady Stoneheart will not be appearing in Game of Thrones season 8. Anticipation is sky high for the final season of the HBO fantasy series based on George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire novels, and speculation is naturally heating up as fans try to guess how the show will wrap up its epic story. Among the many fan theories floated around about the events set to go down in season 8, one of the most popular holds that novel character Lady Stoneheart, who thus far has not made the jump to the series, will finally make her belated debut on the show....

Friday The 13th: Ultimate Slasher Edition is a feature-rich version of the multiplayer game, but it’s hard to see the Switch as its ideal home. One of the interesting things about the ongoing span of ports to Switch is that Nintendo’s platform might represent a kind of do-over for some games which were visibly rocky in their early days. For asymmetric multiplayer games — a genre which has an extremely troubled and weak-kneed pedigree — reintroducing them to a completely new ecosystem does seem to energize them with an essence of tabula rasa....

Update: While it’s hard to read too much into these reports, Foxconn told The Wall Street Journal the freeze on hiring is a result of “a high employee return rate following the Lunar New Year holiday.” According to the report from Financial Times, Apple’s major assembly partner Foxconn has halted new hiring at its facilities due to a slow down in production for the iPhone 5: Foxconn confirmed it is not currently hiring in its plants located in mainland China, and FT reported the company’s employees were informed that hiring would stop until at least the end of March “in response to reduced orders for the iPhone 5....

Free Fire is a stronger concept than film, hamstrung by poor storytelling and execution, despite the best efforts of the cast. Irish Republican Army members Chris (Cillian Murphy) and Frank (Michael Smiley) have traveled to Boston in order to acquire weapons. With their intermediary Justine (Brie Larson) and associates Stevo (Sam Riley) and Bernie (Enzo Cilenti) in tow, the group meets a man named Ord (Armie Hammer) at an abandoned warehouse....

Game of Thrones is a very popular show that fans love to discuss. Many fans come up with theories about their favorite characters, including one of the families at the center of it all, the Starks. Some of these theories make sense while others….don’t. For now, let’s focus on the former rather than the latter. Whether it’s suggesting that the Starks represent the seven aspects of Westeros’ Faith of the Seven, or that Sansa Stark will be Cersei’s true adversary, fans love to theorize about the Stark family....
