Endgame: Breaking Down Game of Thrones’ Big Finish

Let’s break down the Endgame. No. Not that one. The finale of one of the biggest and most watched shows in the world, Game of Thrones! Is the conclusion what we were hoping for and, if not, how could it have been improved?

Fit To Sit: The Best & Worst Rulers of Westeros

With the release of Fire and Blood, we know more about the past kings and queens of the Seven Kingdoms than ever before. This calls for an in-depth discussion of the best, worst, luckiest, and most unfortunate people ever to sit on the Iron Throne (with all due consideration to influential Hands and movers and shakers behind the scenes).

Spotlight: John Bradley and Hannah Murray

Our Spotlight Sessions let you hear unique perspectives and behind the scenes stories from the Game of Thrones cast and crew. John Bradley joined Game of Thrones in its first season as everyone’s favorite maester wannabe and wight slayer, Samwell Tarly. Hannah Murray joined in season 2 as Gilly, the persistent and kind wildling woman.

The Game of Thrones Effect: How Game of Thrones Changed TV Forever

The end of event television was also the beginning of a new strategy of storytelling and broadcasting. Sex, violence, epic fantasy, main characters being killed off – shows had done this before but none have had all of this come together in such confluence. Let’s talk about how the Game of Thrones show changed how we now talk about serialized television.

Con of Thrones is produced by Mischief Management. The official programming partner for Con of Thrones is Watchers On The Wall, the leading online destination for the Game of Thrones and A Song of Ice and Fire fan community. Additional details will be announced at a later date.
