The fight at the heart of the series' final season was filmed over one freezing-cold, brutally long night. "There were a few moments where I forgot it wasn't real," admits director Miguel Sapochnik.

Is This the End of Recycling?

First, the good news: After decades of public-information campaigns, we're finally recycling. But sadly, Americans are producing more waste than ever, and even the most carefully sorted and cleaned recyclables are ending up in the trash.

How to Prepare for the Mueller Report

The special counsel is expected to deliver his findings to Attorney General William Barr soon. Here's what to keep in mind while we wait for the official end of the Russia probe.
