Exclusive: Game of Thrones season 2 roundtable
Game of Thrones’s second season, based off of George R.R. Martin’s novel A Clash of Kings, is blissfully due to descend on us in just a few weeks’ time. And though anticipation for the show’s return couldn’t be higher, there seems to be a growing undercurrent of tension or concern among both the fan and journalistic communities. Showrunners D.B. Weiss and David Benioff have changed the name of Asha Greyjoy, Theon’s sister back on the Iron Islands, to Yara? The way-cool storyline the crippled Bran Stark has back at Winterfell might be cut and moved to the third season? Daenerys Targaryen’s minimal presence in the novel might be dramatically expanded – with action scenes?

Review: Game of Thrones, Episode 10
Weighing in at just over 800 pages, A Game of Thrones is full of plots and sub-plots, primary and secondary (and tertiary and ancillary) characters, major and minor leitmotifs, and foreshadowing of foreshadowing – to say it is a dense narrative is an understatement in the extreme, particularly considering its status as only the inaugural chapter of a much larger tale. This column (It Is Known: An Analysis of Thrones) will act as a companion piece to both series, novel and television, analyzing each installment’s character beats and plot points as well as scrutinizing the transition from page to script. What it will not do is spoil the story; the hope and intent is elucidation, not ruination.

Jason Patric joins FX's Powers pilot
Yesterday I told you about the first casting news associated with FX's new Powers television show, based on the comic book series created by Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Avon Fleming. The first cast member named was Lucy Punch who will play Det. Deena Pilgrim, the more quick temperted and less seasoned of the two cops the show follows. Today we learn the name of the show's main actor, the guy with the chiseled square jaw that will play Det. Christian Walker.

Star Wars live action TV show still on hold
Remember a long time ago in a decade that's now far, far away, the plan was to make and broadcast a live action Star Wars television show? Set between the end of Revenge of the Sith and the start of A New Hope, SWTV would introduce us to a whole new group of characters as the Empire consolidated its power and Darth Vader eliminated the surviving Jedi from the galaxy.

Seven seconds of Wonder Woman
NBC may have passed on David E. Kelley's proposed Wonder Woman TV show but that pilot still exists somewhere, locked away securely in a vault. Will we ever get to see Adrianne Palicki as Diana of Themyscira? Until that day comes, we do have a tiny smattering of video to look at showing the actress in her Wonder Woman costume. It's not much, but it's enough to probably make a few of you sweat.
