Exclusive: Game of Thrones season 2 roundtable
Game of Thrones’s second season, based off of George R.R. Martin’s novel A Clash of Kings, is blissfully due to descend on us in just a few weeks’ time.

This column (It Is Known: An Analysis of Thrones) will act as a companion piece to both series, novel and television, analyzing each installment’s character beats and plot points as well as scrutinizing the transition from page to script. What it will not do is spoil the story; the hope and intent is elucidation, not ruination.

Exclusive: Voltron Force update
A little over a year ago, atrejub and I took a trip to WEP's main headquarters in St. Louis to get the lowdown on the latest Voltron developments. We got a few cool exclusives on the upcoming movie and Voltron Force, and were invited to come back some time for an update. Since Voltron Force will be debuting in under a month, we figured it would be a great time to drop in and get another advance look for Corona readers.

NBC saves Chuck again
Although it's still a little too early for the TV networks to have officially announced their 2011-2012 line-up, the story is getting out about which shows have survived and which ones have been axed. Why? Because it's a little hard to control the news when the crew members of a series find out that they've all been laid off (or that the lucky ones will have paychecks come the fall.)
