Well, if there wasn’t too concern with HBO’s recent hack leaking material early before, there is now. Reports indicate Game of Thrones Season 7’s fourth episode, “The Spoils of War,” has officially made its way online.

Hacking scandals are everywhere these days, and a recent HBO attack that allegedly leaked Game of Thrones scripts and several comedy episodes may be bigger than feared. Sources say the data extends to many more times what Sony suffered in 2014, and is now being investigated by the FBI.

If there was giant wall of ice surrounding HBO to protect the network’s most precious properties, well, that sucker has come crashing down. The company has become the target of a recent cyber attack after The Night King a group of hackers reportedly infiltrated the network’s systems. And some secretive Game of Thrones data has allegedly leaked online.

Game of Thrones knows how much its fans will analyze and decode every production detail, and occasionally saves us the trouble. Get a closer look at all the written props this week, revealing the extent of Jorah’s love for Dany, and a greyscale cure that involves … olive oil?

Sunday night’s Game of Thrones began placing all the pieces in place for the total political chaos and carnage that’s to come. In “Stormborn” – spoiler alert – Daenerys said Jon Snow’s name for the first time, which was all sorts of exciting, two Sand Snakes met a nasty end, Arya had multiple reunions, Missandei discovered the wonders of oral sex, and Sam began to cure Jorah.

We all knew it was coming, but as “Stormborn” proved, Game of Thrones Season 7 isn’t messing around. See the long-awaited meeting of Westeros’ new Ice and Fire power-couple in a first trailer for next week’s third outing, “The Queen’s Justice.”

Game of Thrones is no stranger to musician cameos, though it’s hard to argue singer Ed Sheeran’s “Dragonstone” cameo felt less subtle than usual. Fans didn’t take kindly to the intrusion, and reportedly chased Sheeran off Twitter with their criticism.

From Jaqen to The Hound, Game of Thrones isn’t one to leave us hanging forever. That’s why fans expect a certain fan-favorite will row ashore in Season 7, and the actor in question has now seemingly confirmed we’ll see them soon.

A lot of metal here (befitting the leader of the Army of the Dead), but also a few pop surprises. No Ed Sheeran, sorry.

It’s a brave new world for the 2017 Emmy awards with Game of Thrones and others sitting this year out. The big announcement is finally here, as presented by Veep star Anna Chlumsky and Criminal Minds veteran Shemar Moore, so let’s find out what we’re all angry about/celebrating this year at the Emmys!

Sure, we’ve had two trailers and dozens of photos to date, but Game of Thrones Season 7 is only just getting started. Literally! Sunday’s “Dragonstone” premiere has its own new photos, featuring a surprising battle and not one – but TWO homecomings.

Game of Thrones Season 7 marks our last regular engagement with the franchise, knowing we have further episodes to come. The final season will be a much larger event, but HBO bosses won’t make you move from the couch to the theater, nor will the upcoming spinoffs.
