Kit Harington was recently on the cover of Rolling Stone, and creator George R.R. Martin talked about one of the most shocking scenes on the show.
"The moment the reader begins to believe that a character is protected by the magical cloak of authorial immunity, tension goes out the window," said George R. R. Martin. "The Red Wedding was tremendously hard to write. ... I loved those characters too much. But I knew what had to be done."
The Queen has been making headlines because of the World Cup.
England last won in the 1960s. One person tweeted pictures of her to show how much time has gone by since England was knocked out of the group stage.
