What happened in the world of Game of Thrones, A Song of Ice and Fire, and all things nerdy this week? Let’s take a look.
First, we finally got around to honoring Emilia Clarke’s performance as Daenerys Targaryen. It took a while. We had to work up to it, okay?
We look back at the excellent work Emilia Clarke did as Daenerys Targaryen over the eight seasons of #GameofThrones. Mother of Dragons forever! https://t.co/DjnXFf0zlq

Most notably, it looks pretty certain the title of the prequel is Bloodmoon (or maybe Blood Moon; opinions are welcome). How do we know?
We've been wondering if "Bloodmoon" was really the official name for HBO's #GameofThrones prequel series. Well, wonder no longer. https://t.co/1l9mAaj9ms
