Game of Thrones: Could Tyrion Also Be a Targaryen?

Warning: Spoilers for all of Game of Thrones through Season 7 follow...

"I used to dream of having a dragon of my own."

Game of Thrones and fan theories go together like King's Landing and the smell of - well - you know. That's not to say that the theories are bunk, of course. Some are rooted in very real things and as we prep ourselves for the final HBO season, we'll have to contend with the big one regarding the Night King possibly being some version of Bran and another one that's also recently resurfaced - Tyrion possibly being a Targaryen.

These $400 He-Man Statues Are Totally Epic

He-Man and the Masters of The Universe have had their share of creative reinterpretations, but the high-end statues Sideshow Collectibles has on display at New York Comic Con really take the cake.

This Obi-Wan Figure Deserves a Standalone Movie

We don't currently have much idea what this rumored Obi-Wan Kenobi standalone film will be about, but we hope it bears some resemblance to the Star Wars Mythos sixth-scale action figure that Sideshow Collectibles had on display at New York Comic-Con.

The Star Wars Mythos Collection began as a line of polystone statues from Sideshow portraying iconic Star Wars heroes and villains in slightly reimagined, heavily-stylized scenarios.

Black Mirror: Season 4 Premiere First Impressions

IGN was in attendance at the fifth annual PaleyFest New York on Deisy for a screening of a full episode from Season 4 of Netflix’s Black Mirror.
