TV: Game of Thrones; The Musketeers

The fourth season of HBO's Game of Thrones premieres Sunday and the media blitz is in full swing. Indiewire offered a "kingdom's worth of new pics plus three featurettes," adding that "even if you haven't watched a single frame of the show, HBO2 has you covered: a marathon of every episode to date, back-to-back, twice, kicks off this Friday at 9 a.m."

"How would you die in Westeros?" asked Vulture to introduce the GoT death generator, noting that Game of Thrones "might be the deadliest show on TV.... If you were to suddenly find yourself in the Seven Kingdoms, how might you meet your maker?"

Word & Film explored the show "on location," noting that the production team has invested a great deal of effort to find "convincing real-world counterparts to the exotic and dangerous locales of the series."

In examining "the science behind the hit series," CBS News reported that "the show's never-ending action might distract fans from the real science that underpins some of the series' pivotal events and characters."
