Every Game of Thrones Episode (To Date)

It's hard to believe just how far Game of Thrones has come in six (relatively) short seasons.

With the premiere of Season 7 less than two months away, we decided to take a look back through each episode of the entire series. Consider this your refresher to get you primed and ready for Game of Thrones' return.

This list won't get that much longer before the show finally comes to its conclusion. Game of Thrones has an anticipated 13 more episodes left: a seven-episode Season 7, and a six-episode Season 8. Even though that means fewer hours of the hit HBO fantasy series, the "size and scale" of each of the final 13 installments will be on par with the show's biggest episodes to date, like "Hardhome" and "Battle of the Bastards."

Why Boba Fett and the Bounty Hunters Deserve a Movie

The words bounty hunter in the Star Wars universe tend to be synonymous with one character: Boba Fett. The character and his memorable armor have appeal, to be sure, but he's not the only being for hire in the galaxy. Droids, aliens, and humanoids have all taken credits for hunting down individuals from the heart of the Empire to the Outer Rim. They often fend for themselves in order to make the maximum amount of profit, but sometimes they team up Ocean's 11 style when the job calls for different talents and specialties... and also has a gigantic enough payout that it's still sizable when it's split multiple ways. That last part is key.

In the Star Wars movies, we've spent time around the Fetts, Zam Wesell, and 4-LOM to name a few. The animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars introduced the likes of the stylish hat-wearing Cad Bane and Sugi. Dengar keeps appearing in stories in the current storytelling universe for some reason. But in the days of the Expanded Universe/Legends books and comics, the plots mostly focused on the bounty hunters we met in the original trilogy.
