New Images From Filming of ‘Game of Thrones’ Season Two Reveal The Gods of Westeros. Booyah.
New images from the filming of the second season of Game of Thrones has revealed statues of the Gods of Westeros. Even if you haven’t read the books and have no idea who the fuck they are (I’m currently in the middle of the second book), they’re still pretty swank.

Frank Darabont Steps Down As Showrunner For ‘The Walking Dead’, There Goes That.
Frank Darabont was the single reason I had faith that the second season of The Walking Dead could rally from the pit of utter nonsense and trash that the first season ended in. Now he’s gone. Abandon hope all ye who enter.
BREAKING BAD: Thirty-Eight Snub
The day after Walter, Jesse, and Mike watched the life bleed out of Victor finds them trying to get their shit together. Walter, who is 100 percent certain Gus is going to kill him, tries to be proactive and buys a gun. Mike goes to a bar and blurs the memory with booze. Jesse moves back into his old place with the gaudiest stereo on earth. Gus decides it’s best to not hang around the lab anymore. He was checkmated by Walter and Jesse shot his hopeful chemist, Gale. Probably a good idea to let those boys cool off and get back to work.
THIS WEEK ON Breaking Bad: Box Cutter
After a hiatus that felt like forever, Breaking Bad is back to kick our ass. Last season’s finale, “Full Measure,” left us pulling our hair out over whether a weepy Jesse shot Gale – or of that last second camera shift had Jesse firing over Gale’s shoulder in hesitation. More happened in the season four premiere, the gruesomely titled “Box Cutter,” than just the reveal of Gale’s execution. In true Breaking Bad fashion, creator Vince Gilligan and his crew delivered a suspenseful and darkly hilarious episode that began with a shocker of a flashback. We also got see Walter resort to his sniveling, bombastic Mr. White persona as Skyler continues to “break bad” even further. And poor Jesse’s now lost any shred of innocence he may have had left. It’s been a long time coming for this episode and they knocked it out the park, into the parking lot, and right through the windshield of your Pontiac Aztec.
Face of a Franchise: Izzza Mario!

One of the most celebrated rites of passage in the Nerd Realm is engaging in the Greatest Hero debate. Would Luke Skywalker’s Jedi powers confound John McClane, or would he manage to best Tattooine’s favorite farmboy even after getting an arm chopped off? How fast can Neo read universal code if Professor X is mind-molesting him? Can Wolverine’s healing factor work quickly enough to thwart off the three-count after Hogan delivers the atomic leg drop?
Fun questions to ask, no doubt. But only in a purely academic sense. Because, if you really think about it, everyone knows who our generation’s greatest hero is.
Super Mario.
I can’t even begin to think of a hero that’s done more than Mario. Every few years he hunts down a dinosaur, beats the shit out of him, and then brings his girlfriend home to bang her out. Oh, and by the way, she’s a princess – so you know she’s packing a high-quality rump-roast. When he’s not out hunting prehistoric menaces, Mario finds enjoyment in high-octane deathraces. He gets his broke-ass brother jobs. Oh, and the muthafuggah’s got a PhD.
With such crazy credentials, it stands to reason that it takes a real boss to portray Mario. Luckily for us, we’ve been graced with performances by two absolute masters. The only problem lies in determining who did the better job.

James Spader Officially Joins ‘The Office’. Just Let It Die. I Beg You.
The minds behind The Office have come together and officially announced their replacement for Steve Carell. Kind of. James Spader will be joining the cast for the eighth season of The Office, and he’ll be tasked with sort of but not really taking the position left behind by Michael Scott. It’s all a bit confusing.
‘Party Down’ Could Be Getting A Movie? Don’t Tease Me!
I didn’t know about it, but there was a fucking Party Down marathon at the Alamo Drafthouse. It appears that everything awesome occurs in that place. Well fuck. Out of this Drafthouse came not just what I assume was endless fun and excitement with the cast and shiz, but the news that there could be a Party Down movie. Lawd don’t tease me, lawd don’t tease me!
Mac From ‘Always Sunny’ Puts On 50 Pounds, For The Show. Swoon.
Rob McElhenney plays Mac on Always Sunny In Philadelphia. Next season, McElhenney will be an amazing 50lbs heavier, the sole reason thinking that it would be hilarious to have the bodybuilding-obsessive Mac walk around as a fat ass.
Outstanding.
