Let us tame those mighty dragons for you in a mere minute, telling you everything you need to know about 'Game of Thrones' Daenerys Targaryen in 60 seconds!

It's here! After a few tantalizingly brief Vines, 'Game of Thrones' has finally unsheathed a proper trailer for season 4, in advance of its April 6 premiere. We saw all the usual fan favorites, from dragons to some devastating action sequences, but what standout moments really got our heads spinning? Check out the first 'Game of Thrones' season 4 trailer for yourself right here!

Only yesterday we learned that 'Game of Thrones' season 4 would premiere on April 6, with the first trailer to arrive before 'True Detective''s series premiere this coming Sunday, but why wait? Preview first looks at all the major developments of 'Game of Thrones' season 4 with new Vines from the forthcoming trailer!

You know, for a series as intricate and continuity-dependent as HBO's 'Game of Thrones,' the acclaimed adaptation of writer George R.R. Martin's work doesn't mind making a few major recasts along the way. Most notably, Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson is set to take up the role of Gregor "The Mountain" Clegane in season 4, inherited from Ian Whyte and in turn Conan Stevens. While we wait, check o

We've finally crossed the hump into 2014, wherein our beloved TV will return to us to sustain the long, dark and increasingly cold nights. And while 'Community' will lead the charge with tonight's premiere (watch it, ya turkeys!), HBO's 'True Detective' has us the most primed for its premiere with a series of recent trailers that cerebrally explore its leading men in Woody Harrelson and Matthew Mc

True Blood' season 6 naturally thinned the herd a bit, moving into a seventh and final run that reset the focus on smaller Bon Temps vampire stories, though it seems the cast has suffered an unexpected loss. Late season 6 arrival Luke Grimes had his suave vampire character James upgraded to series regular for the final year, but will now be recast.

The recent press rounds of NBC's forthcoming 'The Sound of Music' have seen Stephen Moyer peppered with all manner of 'True Blood' season 7 questions, though shooting of the premiere won't begin until January. That said, the first casting sheets for 'True Blood''s final season have emerged, giving us a clue where the H-vamp war will take us next summer!

Jack Black and Tim Robbins may not be the box-office draws they once were, but could they pull in the HBO crowd? We'll find out, as the premium cable network has recruited the duo to headline a new dark comedy pilot from director Jay Roach, taking the world of geopolitical crises to 'The Brink'!

Where Comedy Central's 'The Daily Show' spun off the charisma of Stephen Colbert to spawn 'The Colbert Report,' it seems fellow 'Daily Show' breakout John Oliver has flown the coop altogether. The UK funnyman will instead leave behind 'The Daily Show' to topline his own weekly HBO comedy series, but will it follow the same model?

A few months ago, we saw the folks at Bad Lip Reading branching out from the usual movie and music video fare to their first TV parody with 'The Walking Dead,' and now it seems we've reached the next rung on the ladder. 'Game of Thrones' gets the most inventive and extended parody yet as an adventurous indie medieval theme park comedy, and oh yes, there will be Tyrion pimp-smacking.

FX's 'American Horror Story: Coven' may have the market cornered on unsettling Louisiana-style drama, but HBO's star-studded 2014 drama 'True Detective' may yet give the 'Coven' a run for its money. The new Woody Harrelson-Matthew McConaughey crime drama directed by Cary Fukunaga has released five brand-new teasers from the series, each as moody and dark as the ones that precede it.

HBO comedies tend to vary in quality, with recent offerings like 'Hello Ladies' coming nowhere near the success of 'Veep' or 'Girls,' but the latest might just turn a few heads. Former 'That '70s Show' star Topher Grace and comedian Sarah Silverman have been chosen to lead 'SNL' creator Lorne Michaels' new HBO venture, 'People in New Jersey,' but what's it all about?
