Weird History

The Empress on Netflix provides a look at the early life of Empress Elisabeth of Austria. Through six episodes, viewers see the rebellious and spirited young woman who would go on to have <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/life-of-elisabeth-of-austria/philgibbons">a life plagued</a> with tragedy.&nbsp;The story behind The Empress is more complicated than the show can depict accurately, but it does provide many facts about Elisabeth (often called “Sisi”). We also meet Emperor Franz Joseph, his mother, Sophie, and <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/empress-cast-vs-real-people/elle-tharp">the other figures</a> who defined life at the Habsburg court in Austria during the 19th century.&nbsp;Notable fictions are woven into The Empress, so we decided to examine the overall historical accuracy of the series. Take a look at what we found out and vote up the subjects you were curious about, too.&nbsp;

The references in Black Mirror tackle everything from classic writers to shots from the most popular science fiction franchise in history, and even hearken back to some of the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-black-mirror-episodes/jared-clark">best Black Mirror episodes</a>.

Captain Jean-Luc Picard's Mysterious History In 'Star Trek' Explained

Interesting Facts About 'Star Trek's' Captain Jean-Luc Picard 

Sawyer Grant

Game of Thrones Universe

Game of Thrones became famous for the way it would kill off beloved characters, from the Red Wedding to a certain trial by combat. But if there is one demise that stands out above all others for fans, it's Hodor's tragic fall in the episode “The Door.”It's one of the most brutal and poetic moments in the fantasy series' entire run, giving a heroic death to a character we've come to love but also giving us a key piece of that character's history in the most stunning, ironic way. It's hard to think about, much less want to watch again.But as awful as that moment was, it could have been even worse, according to the episode’s director Jack Bender - the original plan was to have Hodor ripped to pieces by the undead, Walking Dead style. But showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss thought better of it, arguing&nbsp;that an overly gruesome death would take away from the emotional impact of Hodor's loss for the audience.&nbsp;&nbsp;Check out the article below for more on what went into the cave battle, the demise of the Three-Eyed Raven, the possible extinction of the Children, the death of Summer, the rise of Bran, and the Hodor death scene that we never need to talk about again.

The Best Reviewed Horror Movie On Netflix Is A Sequel You've Never Heard Of

The 'Creep' Franchise Is The Scariest Horror Series You Can Watch Right Now

Anthony Barstow

Lists about everything from the the cast's off-stage friendships to the making of the most unforgettable episodes of HBO's monumental fantasy series Game of Thrones.

Behind the Throne

The stakes were high in the war for Winterfell in Season 6's epic "Battle of the Bastards and not just any director was going to do. HBO wanted Miguel Sapochnik since he did such an amazing job with “Hardhome” in Season 5. The scene took 25 days, 80 horses and riders, 65 stunt actors, seven principle actors, 600 crew members, four camera crews, 500 extras, and 160 tons of gravel to complete. &nbsp; Although BoB was based on two epic fights between Hannibal and the Romans, the most memorable shot comes from an unscripted set of days of shooting. The making of Jon Snow's re-rebirth moment, as he pushes to the surface of a sea of wildlings, was a pieces of magic. The incredible attention to detail, the long hours of labor, and the farting during Kit Harington’s lines (a horse did that, not Tormund), make this episode a stand-out in the series. &nbsp; Let’s look at some of the behind the scenes Game of Thrones facts that’ll make you appreciate the episode even more.
