'Game Of Thrones' Creators Explain Decapitated George W. Bush Head

"Game Of Thrones" scene featuring fake head of Bush

"Game of Thrones" creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss said they were not making any political statement when they featured a decapitated head resembling former US President George W. Bush in a scene.

"It's not a choice, it's not a political statement. We just had to use whatever heads we had lying around," they explained. "We use a lot of prosthetic body parts on the show: heads, arms, etcetera. We can't afford to have these all made from scratch, especially in scenes where we need a lot of them, so we rent them in bulk. After the scene was already shot, someone pointed out that one of the heads looked like George W. Bush."

They added: "We meant no disrespect to the former president and apologize if anything we said or did suggested otherwise."

Home Box Office (HBO), meanwhile, has released a statement addressing the graphic prop choice.

"We were deeply dismayed to see this and find it unacceptable, disrespectful and in very bad taste," the network said. "We made this clear to the executive producers of the series who apologized immediately for this inadvertent careless mistake."

HBO added that the scene would be removed from future DVD production.

Hatfields & McCoys Poster (History Channel)

"Hatfields & McCoys" premiere episode is now the number 1 non-sporting telecast in ad-supported cable history after attracting 13 million viewers.

The three-part miniseries, which stars Kevin Costner and Bill Paxton, aired its first episode on Monday on History Channel. It marked a scripted debut for History, which previously abandoned its Kennedys miniseries in 2011 before the show eventually aired on Reelz.

"Hatfields & McCoys is the story of a clash of clans that evoked great passion, vengeance, courage, sacrifice, crimes and accusations, and includes a cast of characters that changed the families and the history of the region forever." History wrote. "The Hatfield-McCoy saga begins with 'Devil' Anse Hatfield and Randall McCoy. Close friends and comrades until near the end of the Civil War, they return to their neighboring homes - Hatfield in West Virginia, McCoy just across the Tug River border in Kentucky - to increasing tensions, misunderstandings and resentments that soon explode into all-out warfare between the families. As hostilities grow, friends, neighbors and outside forces join the fight, bringing the two states to the brink of another Civil War."

Parts two and three of the series will be aired on History on Tuesday and Wednesday at 9 pm

True Blood s04e12 Season 4 Episode 12

True Blood s04e12 Season 4 Episode 12 And When I Die Finale. The penultimate episode of True Blood saw the showdown between Marnie and the vampires. A lot of the main human characters had been trapped inside the Moongoddess Emporium because of Marnie. When members of the coven protested, Marnie ended up killing Casey to prevent her from escaping. Antonia was devastated by Marnie's actions and tried to leave, but Marnie bound her spirit. Outside, Bill and the other vampires were stopped from blowing up the store by Jason, who warned them that Sookie was inside. Marnie took Sookie outside to speak with the vampires, but the force field around the store was impenetrable and, for a time, Marnie managed to convince Eric and Bill to kill themselves to save Sookie. Pam, of course, was not happy with that plan, but her own plan to blow up the store didn't end up working (and resulted in Eric being angry with her for endangering Sookie). After, Jessica healed Jason, who was injured by the explosion. Marnie then attempted to get the vampires to kill themselves by walking into the protective force field, but Sookie managed to use her faerie powers to stop the spell. In the back room, Jesus attempted a blood magic spell to unbind Antonia and Marie to try and diminish Marnie's power. Fortunately, it worked seconds before Marnie was about to kill Sookie.

Summary/Synopsis of True Blood s04e12 Season 4 Episode 12 And When I Die Finale:
In the fourth-season finale, Sookie taps into Bon Temps' spiritual past on Samhain, a Wiccan festival, for help in her battle with Marnie's latest incarnation. Meanwhile, Lafayette's recent medium encounter spells trouble for his relationship with Jesus; Terry has a surprise visitor at Merlotte's; Alcide makes a romantic proclamation; Debbie has a confrontation with Tara and Sookie; and Nan's authority has its limits after all.
