For a storyline that was so mind-bending, Arya’s back and forth struggle with the Faceless Men and the House of Black and White seems to have ended in a pretty straightforward way. The good ol’ kill you with a sword technique. But what wasn’t so straightforward was the rest of the episode, titled “No One.”…
We got a rare pre-credits scene this week on Game of Thrones. I guess we shouldn’t be surprised when it was used to reveal that a presumed dead character, Sandor Clegane/ the Hound, is alive. I picture the show runners sitting around a room of actors whose characters have died and they’re just throwing scripts…
The typically massive cast of Game of Thrones doubled in size this week as a horde of past characters returned to make a big push into the season’s second half. Who is Benjen Stark you ask? I refer you to the first three episodes of the show. Edmure Tully and the Blackfish? Go back to…
It was quite possibly the saddest moment we’ve ever had on Game of Thrones, which is full of sad and tragic moments. But to watch the two defining moments of Hodor’s life play out side by side and learn that they are one moment linked through warg magic is so incredibly heartbreaking. In the same…
Let’s be honest. We’ve spent the early part of this season of Game of Thrones watching our interest in the Daenerys storyline dwindle. Well guess what, folks. She’s back! Episode four was titled “Book of the Stranger,” but it was all about the characters and the audience getting reacquainted with some familiar faces. Here’s our…
Okay, so no one came back from the dead this week. But with Jon Snow finally up and at ‘em, our focus can turn to some of these other crazy storylines covering the Game of Thrones landscape. In fact, one such scene may just be my favorite to ever appear on the show. Plus Rickon!…
Guys, it happened. It really happened. Jon Snow has returned to the land of the living! I’m so happy I could kiss him. …Well let’s be honest. He’s probably pretty stanky after being a corpse for a few days. But I’m so happy I could give him a spirited handshake! With the Castle Black storyline…
Welcome back to Westeros, folks. It has been over ten months since the season five finale of Game of Thrones aired and there has only been two questions on the minds of fans throughout the realms of men. 1. Is Jon Snow dead? 2. Are any of our characters secretly elderly and only appear young…
I guess we should have seen this coming. I guess the signs pointed in this direction all season long. But even as season five cut to black, I have a really hard time believing that this is the end for our friend Jon Snow. On a show where tons of characters die, I thought he…
Well, we saw a big battle against the White Walkers last week. So it was only natural to expect a bit of a let down with this episode. But, as you know, Game of Thrones pulls out all the stops with the penultimate episode every season. This one was no exception. With a title like…
Season five, the year Game of Thrones the show took a sharp turn away from the books. It’s the year the Internet went nuts with the plot turns of Mance Rayder, Ser Barristan, Ser Jorah, and Sansa. But now it’s also the year that contains an epic battle with the White Walkers. Oh and did…
Were you having a fun, relaxing Memorial Day weekend? Well Game of Thrones put an end to that with stress levels boiling over this week. The first half of episode 7, “The Gift,” had me questioning my devotion to the show as the storylines slapped us in the face repeatedly. But there are a few…
Guys, we’ve all been there. You drive all the way to a comic-con or you spend weeks browsing the web and you finally find that rare item you’ve been looking for. But then, right before you make the purchase, you’re stuck arguing with the seller about the authenticity of dwarf penises. Well that’s what happened…
We saw another new locale in the latest Game of Thrones episode, “Kill the Boy.” But unlike what the title would suggest, none of our characters were directly killed in this chapter. Instead we spent good blocks of time developing multiple storylines. Plus, it was a rare instance where we didn’t visit King’s Landing. Braavos…
So they did it to us again. A show where characters die seemingly every week, has upset us by killing off another character. But if that’s not enough for you, fanatics were militarized, characters we like were imprisoned/ kidnapped, and can that dude just shut up already about opening the fighting pits?! This week’s episode…
