Game of Thrones: Pre-Premiere Round-Up
Game of Thrones Season 6 premieres on Sunday, April 24th at 9pm EST.
It's spring time and that can only mean one thing... winter is coming.
Ah yes, the long awaited season 6 of Game of Thrones will soon grace us with its presence! A time when both book lovers and TV fanatics can gather round and debate who wore it best. Only difference with season 6 is those darn book readers have nothing up on the TV lovers, the HBO series (with season 6) will officially surpass the literary timeline, meaning no more spoilers from those pesky bookworms! So now that we're starting fresh, I decided to make GoT Season 6 my newest recap series.
Now I know a lot of you can barely keep all of these characters straight, let alone their relation to one another and the GoT universe, so here I've made for you a handy-dandy round-up of where we left off with each major story-line at the end of season 5, and with all the material HBO has released on season 6 thus far, predictions of where the new season is going. Now keep in mind, I am a fan of the TV series, I have not read any of the books, I tried once but George (Rest and Relaxation) Martin just gets way too descriptive with the feasts and I got lost. But it doesn't matter, the best thing is, there's no one that has read ahead of me to tell me I'm wrong! So for now, the possibilities are all in my favor to be 100% accurate in my predictions, though we know Thrones always throws us for a tailspin once the fans think they're onto the right theory.
I digress, anyway... to make sense of the multitude of characters, locations and overlapping timelines I've broken down my round-up into region (Westeros and Essos), further broken down by sub-region and character group (we all need our squads), and then I included separate categories for characters that are missing from season 6 teases and those that are (presumed) dead. I give you, Round-up of Thrones!
Do I even need to warn you about SPOILERS?!

ESPN Journalist Wears “Caucasians” Shirt on Air
Bomani Jones, an ESPN journalist, wore a shirt mocking the Cleveland Indians in light of a movement to get rid of all racist mascots. Molly Qerim gets right to it and calls out all the sports teams currently marketing offensive mascots: Washington Redskins, Cleveland Indians, Florida State Seminoles, Atlanta Braves, she forgot the Kansas City Chiefs, but the list goes on and on in minor leagues. Sports fans and team owners have been trying to defend their blatantly stereotypical usage of Native culture as simply, celebrating their own history and tradition as a sports team, similar to the argument wavers of the confederate flag spew. Many white fragilists took to Twitter to express their hurt feelings, only to be put in check for hypocrisy. I'm confused, do these Twitter mongers not understand sarcasm? I thought it was a give in. If someone is going to call you out for being offensive, you can't respond by childishly saying, "Treat others as you wish to be treated," if you're then going to continue giving them swirlies like the playground bully you are. It's a two-way street people, if you're not blantanly mocking someone's culture, then they won't have to call you out for it, will they? Bomani explains his choice to wear the shirt best,
"The reason they won’t get rid of Chief Wahoo — it’s completely indefensible — is because they can still sell stuff with it. They can say they’re going to de-emphasize it, but they’re not going to set money on fire. If you’re quiet about the Indians and now you’ve got something to say about my shirt, I think it’s time for introspection."As a white person, I personally prefer this style because I think it's more indicative of true Caucasian culture. I mean, backwards sunglasses, that's the coolest... Right?
New OITNB Stills
A new season of Orange is the New Black is coming back to Netflix on June 17th. For those of you, like myself, that think it's too far away, here's a sneak peek of what's to come. OITNB released some stills from the anticipated return of the Litchfield gang. These photos bring up so many questions: is Alex alive? Are Gloria and Red working together now? Is Piper's trust-no-bitch attitude rubbing her fellow inmates wrong? Do they end up starting a prison riot by uniting the races? Who are all these new women?! One thing I know for sure, 3 months is way to long to wait for answers.
BREAKING BAD 5.5 Recap
Breaking Bad gives us another extremely cold open as we see the coolest kid you will never be dirt biking through the desert and then befriending a cuddly tarantula. Opening Credits! Who is this kid? I don't know, but I'm guessing he's going to be revisited somewhere this episode. Walt pays Hank a visit at his new fancy boss man office and breaks down about Skyler. Hank, being an uncomfortable straight man around other straight man tears, leaves. Giving Walt the opportunity to plant a bug in Hank's office. What is he going to use that for I wonder?

BREAKING BAD 5.4 Recap
Breaking Bad opened this week with the fabulous and newly fortified Prius returning to Walt, along with his increddible headwear. The return of Heisenberg's hat prompted a lot of rash behavior this week. For example, when Walt got his run-over-a-witness-mobile fixed for free he went around and sold it to the mechanic for $50! Afterall, the only reason Walt got the damn thing fixed anyway was so he could look at his awesome hat in the driver's side mirror.

BREAKING BAD 5.3 Recap
This week's episode of Breaking Bad opens up in prison and we learn that Mike has two skills we weren't privy to before, (1) he moonlights as a paralegal and (2) he gives a mean side-eye. Okay, well we might have already known about the side-eye thing, but this is Mike, so any new face is worth mentioning. We learn that Mike is making the rounds to all of his "guys" to let them know that even though the DEA took all their Gus Hush Money, they will be receiving their "Hazard Money" soon.

So the fabulous Breaking Bad is back and badder than ever! Episode 2 opens with a sad looking German dude sampling tater tot dipping sauces - I don't know about him, but if that was my job I'd put a fucking smile on my face. Anyway, we discover that this man, is some super important business owner guy who, guess what? Owns Pollos Hermanos. The DEA were able to trace the whole big meth operation back to this tater tot eating German guy using the scribble scratch on the picture frame from episode 1 and they want answers! Too bad Herr Tator Tot decides to off himself by grabbing the nearest unattended defibrillator and giving himself the big deep fry.
