As a Dothraki horde of millions tuned in for Game of Thrones Season 7, fans of the show relished in all the death, dragons, and destruction (sometimes at the same time) that they have come to expect from HBO's frosty fantasy. However, as we wait for Season 8 of the sensational saga to take flight, there is some worrying news sent by raven over the skies of Westeros.

A 'Stark' Reminder Of Who's In Charge: 'Game Of Thrones' Stars Discuss Their Weird Reunion In Season 7
Forget your battlefield BBQs or poisonous parting words, Season 7 of HBO's Game of Thrones will surely be remembered as "The One Where They All Meet." Continuing a season of epic reunions and first-time chinwags, the episode "The Spoils of War" finally saw Sansa and Arya Stark come back together in a tear-jerking homecoming. They may have hated each other's guts at times, but putting their sibling rivalry behind them, the Stark girls finally got their emotional reunion in the crypts of Winterfell.

Ice To Meet You: War Comes To Westeros In 'Game Of Thrones' Promo For 'Eastwatch'
Gasp! There are only three episode left in Game of Thrones Season 7, and while we don't know how HBO can top the action, it looks like we're going to try pretty damn hard to do so. We already saw climactic "The Spoils of War" heat up on the battlefield, but it looks like next week's "Eastwatch" will be cooling down as we head toward the season's end. However, just because Dany has stopped charring Lannisters, don't expect things to be any less dangerous for our seasoned survivors. So, wrap up warm and practice your best zombie shuffle as we check out the promo for Season 7's "Eastwatch."

We suggest that you check your maps and prepare a trail of breadcrumbs, because we are heading back into the labyrinth for Wes Ball's Maze Runner: The Death Cure.

Kill Lil (Finger): Did 'Game of Thrones' Just Add Littlefinger To Arya Stark's List?
She's making a list, she's checking it twice, Arya Stark's going to find out who's been naughty or nice. As Game of Thrones powers ahead in Season 7, we see Arya Stark become the hardened assassin that we have always known she could be, and while it is great fan service for Thrones aficionados, it means big trouble for some key players in Westeros.

Let's Talk About 'Rex,' Baby: Here's What The Indominus Rex Nearly Looked Like In 'Jurassic World'
It looks like Mr. DNA has been hard at work again, because all of Hollywood is waiting for a film that has been 65 million (and 25) years in the making. It is time to look back before we head forward while we prepare ourselves for Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. Colin Trevorrow memorably brought the dinos snapping at the heels of the box office once again with Jurassic World in 2015, but it could've been a very different story.

No Laughing Matter: Fan Recreates Jared Leto As 'The Killing Joke' Joker
As possibly the most infamous villain to ever grace the pages of comic books, there is no denying that the Joker does for Batman what Darth Vader does for Luke Skywalker. The world of the Caped Crusader just wouldn't be as dark without the Clown Prince of Crime haunting him from the shadows; however, while Joker from the comics has always been a fan-favorite, #JaredLeto's recent performance in Suicide Squad wasn't quite as lauded. While some fans may never be won over by Leto, there is one way he could claw back his Joker reputation in style.

Now There's A Thor-T: Is Matt Damon Hiding A 'Thor: Ragnarok' Cameo?
As the MCU prepares for "hammer time" once again, the entire cosmos is rumbling with the sound of thunder in the patient wait for Thor: Ragnarok. The Asgardian heir's solo threequel hopes to ditch the decidedly grim tone of The Dark World and take the (formerly) long-haired hero on his wildest adventure yet.

Khan You Believe It? Quentin Tarantino Could Helm A Star Trek Movie
Move over J.J. Abrams, there's a new big kahuna in town, and this is one guy who you don't want to mess with as he sets his sights on the Starship Enterprise. Abrams put his stamp on the world of Spock and Starfleet with Paramount's first two "reboot" entries in 2009 and 2013, while Justin Lin helmed last year's underwhelming Star Trek Beyond. With the whole series facing a black hole of uncertainty, could #QuentinTarantino be the one to steer #StarTrek somewhere that no fan has gone before.

You Gotta Fight For Your Right: Arya's 'Game Of Thrones' Fight With Brienne References Her Entire History
Game of Thrones once again tried to top itself as Season 7 of HBO's fantasy epic continues its run of "best episodes ever." However, while "The Spoils of War" had one hell of a Stark reunion, we all remember the episode for one particular fight scene between two favorite characters. Forget Cleganebowl (for now), let's talk about the Wolf vs. the Giant.

Yabba Dabba Don't: Seth MacFarlane Is Finally Giving Up On His 'Flintstones' Reboot
They say that a rolling (Flint) stone gathers no moss, but what on Earth is going on with everyone's favorite modern Stone Age family? After the dino-mite success of Hanna-Barbera's '60s cartoon, The Flinstones has struggled to move with the times. Those of us who grew up in the '90s will remember Brian Levant's campy live-action movie from 1994 that starred John Goodman, Rosie O'Donnell, and Halle Berry. #TheFlintstones was a like it or lump it affair, which scored big at the box office and was followed by the inevitable prequel/sequel, but Viva Rock Vegas sent the series back to the Stone Age in 2000.

I'm On The Egerton Of Glory: Taron Egerton Wants A Huge Star To Join 'Kingsman 3'
It really is the "spies" the limit when it comes to securing big Hollywood names for Matthew Vaughn's Kingsman movies. The recent release of Kingsman: The Golden Circle being a prime example, and going off-piste from Mark Millar's graphic novels, The Golden Circle took liberties to create its own cavalcade of colorful characters known as the Statesmen. Bulking the already impressive cast with the likes of Jeff Bridges, Halle Berry, and Channing Tatum, Vaughn certainly upped the star factor from 2014's first film.
