It just wouldn't be a season finale without a couple of good deaths, would it?
Here's what happened this week on the "Game of Thrones" season 4 finale, by location:
The Wall
We pick up where we left off, with Jon Snow heading out the gate to meet with Mance Rayder. When he arrives, Mance gives him the honorable treatment yet again, and even raises a toast to Ygritte and Grenn (and the giant who died, but hey, fair's fair).

First he was Khal Drogo. Then he was Conan. Now, he's DC's most recently cast superhero.
Former "Game of Thrones" star Jason Momoa has been cast in the upcoming "Superman vs. Batman" movie, according to reports. If the rumors are true, Momoa will take on the role of Aquaman, one of the main members of the Justice League.
This will mark the first time the famous DC Comics character will appear in a live-action movie; however, the role has been played before on The CW's "Smallville" by Alan Ritchson.

Some people never let fame change them. And then there's Naya Rivera.
A pre-fame photo of the "Glee" actress has appeared online, and the difference between the old Naya and the new Naya is almost shocking. Of course, much of the change can be attributed to having money to spend on make-up, hair and the personal stylists to use them with, but other differences can't.

Let's face it: Hollywood is pretty male-centric. In a world where we need the Bechdel Test to tell us whether a movie even has two female characters who talk to each other about something other than men, it's understandable that there would be many more father-son movies out there than father-daughter movies.
That doesn't mean there aren't still plenty of excellent films out there featuring a father-daughter relationship at the center (or slightly left of center, in the case of some of them).

Just in time for Father's Day, RJ Mitte, who played Walter White's loyal son on "Breaking Bad," makes a short video praising his fictional father for the extraordinary sacrifices he made for his family. If you're a "Breaking Bad" fan, you probably have an idea of just how tongue-in-cheek the tribute is.

This week's two new releases don't offer anything new, but they're still generating a little excitement, since they're both critically-praised follow ups to big hits. One of the two of them will certainly be a hit, at least for the week, and there's a good chance that they'll both perform satisfactorily.

How the mighty have fallen.
"Glee" was once one of the most popular shows on television, if not the undisputed TV prom queen. The show's stars were everywhere, you would hear "Glee" covers of songs on the radio just as often as the original songs themselves, and it seemed that everyone talked about this week's episode the next day.
But a chart from Vulture reveals the shows with the biggest drop in ratings this year as compared to the 2012-2013 season, and "Glee" has the second-biggest drop on the list.
