Warning: Spoilers for the Game of Thrones Season 7 premiere follow.
Game of Thrones' Season 7 premiere, "Dragonstone," may have given us our first hint as to how Jorah Mormont may be cured of Greyscale, the contagious, skin-hardening disease he contracted back in Season 5.

Amazon’s The Tick: Character Motion Posters Reveal
Based on Ben Edlund's comic book, Amazon's new series The Tick -- focused on the character previously featured in a beloved 1990s animated series and a live-action series back in 2001 -- is ready to roll with its first season on August 25th.
The pilot episode, which debuted last year and can be seen right now on Amazon, introduced us to Peter Serafinowicz's brash blue crusader, Griffin Newman's obsessed and undersized sidekick, Arthur, and a somewhat darker and more demented tone than previous incarnations of The Tick.
With The Tick's premiere just a month away, and its second episode screening at San Diego Comic-Con this week, IGN's got new character motion posters to share with you - both heroes and villains from the new live-action series! Along with The Tick and Arthur, you'll see Valorie Curry as Arthur's sister, Dot, Brendan Hines as Superian, and the vile Overkill (Scott Speiser), Ramses (Michael Cerveris), and Ms. Lint (Yara Martinez).
