  • Hbo Premieres the Third Season of Game of Thrones
    HBO PREMIERES THE THIRD SEASON OF GAME OF THRONES The new season will premiere simultaneously with the United States on March 31st Miami, FL, March 18, 2013 – The battle for the Iron Throne among the families who rule the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros continues in the third season of the HBO original series, Game of Thrones. Winner of two Emmys® 2011 and six Golden Globes® 2012, the series is based on the famous fantasy books “A Song of Ice and Fire” by George R.R. Martin. HBO Latin America will premiere the third season simultaneously with the United States on March 31st. Many of the events that occurred in the first two seasons will culminate violently, with several of the main characters confronting their destinies. But new challengers for the Iron Throne rise from the most unexpected places. Characters old and new must navigate the demands of family, honor, ambition, love and – above all – survival, as the Westeros civil war rages into autumn. The Lannisters hold absolute dominion over King’s Landing after repelling Stannis Baratheon’s forces, yet Robb Stark –King of the North– still controls much of the South, having yet to lose a battle. In the Far North, Mance Rayder (new character portrayed by Ciaran Hinds) has united the wildlings into the largest army Westeros has ever seen. Only the Night’s Watch stands between him and the Seven Kingdoms. Across the Narrow Sea, Daenerys Targaryen – reunited with her three growing dragons – ventures into Slaver’s Bay in search of ships to take her home and allies to conquer it.

In this article we will explore how HBO came to legitimatise a contemporary television culture through producing distinct divisions ad infinitum, framed as being rooted outside mainstream commercial television production. In creating incessant divisions in genre, authorship and aesthetics, HBO incorporates artistic norms and principles of evaluation and puts them into circulation as a succession of oppositions— oppositions that we will explore throughout this paper.

  • Dexter – James Manos Jr
    Educación sentimental-televisiva La casualidad ha querido que encontrara el tiempo para escribir estas líneas pasando las vacaciones en una casa de campo del con- dado de Yorkshire, en el norte de Inglaterra, a escasas cinco millas del castillo de Howard. Esta mansión vecina se hizo popular en el siglo XX por alojar parte de la filmación de una película ilustre, Barry Lyndon, de Stanley Kubrick, y de una serie no menos distinguida: Retorno a Brideshead, la adaptación de Granada Television del libro homónimo de Evelyn Waugh que lanzó al estrellato a un joven Je- remy Irons. No es que hubiera escogido este destino vacacional en base a la proximidad de esta country house tricentenaria de la que guardo tan hondo recuerdo televisivo. Pero mentiría si dijera que no me alegré al conocer que la iba a tener tan a mano. De la misma manera que me complacería ir de vacaciones al estado de Washington, en Esta- dos Unidos, sabiendo que Snoqualmie y North Bend, los dos pue- blos en los que se rodaron los exteriores de Twin Peaks, están cerca, o viajaría a Gales con la ilusión de poder visitar en algún momento Portmeirion, la muy peculiar villa costera en la que se grabó El pri- sionero. Son todos ellos lugares que, gracias a las ficciones televisivas que durante un tiempo albergaron, dejaron algo dentro de mí; o quizá dejé yo algo dentro de ellos y ahora me gustaría saber de qué se trata. No sé. Tanto Twin Peaks como El prisionero aparecen seleccionadas por Quim Casas en la lista de 75 series que conforma este libro.

  • After Volunteering for the Night's Watch, Samwell Tarly Leaps Forward on List of Most
    After Volunteering for the Night's Watch, Samwell Tarly Leaps Forward on List of Most Likely To Die Next Game of Thrones Predictions. Content warning: Spoilers ahead Washington, DC, April 25, 2019 – Samwell Tarly may have been safe after killing a White Walker and stealing books from the Citadel, but volunteering for the Night’s Watch during the upcoming Battle of Winterfell may be the nail in the coffin for this beloved character. Last week, Samwell Tarly was last in our list of mostly likely to die next, with only 3% of Game of Thrones fans thinking he is likely to die next. This week, one in ten Game of Thrones fans (10%) thinks he is likely to be killed, a seven-point increase since last episode. While Daenerys Targaryen is relatively safe this week (6%), one or both of her dragons are believed to be in danger. Sixteen percent of Game of Thrones fans think her dragons will become extinct, a 6-point increase since last episode (10%). Jaime Lannister (17%), Theon Greyjoy (15%), Jorah Mormont (14%) and The Hound (14%) continue to top the list of mostly likely to die next. The number of Game of Thrones fans who think Jaime Lannister is going to become a White Walker has doubled since the beginning of the season. During the pre-season poll, 8% of Game of Thrones fans believed that Jaimie Lannister was going to become a White Walker next. After the second episode, 16% of fans predict that The Kingslayer is going to join the army of the undead.
