I am back from my trek across the Narrow Sea. I saw everything! Daario Naharis’ junk, I rode a boat through the crotch of the Braavosi statue and I even got mistaken as a slaver. I’m all like, “Don’t nail me to a post, guys! That ain’t me.” The red waste, by the way, not…
In a continuing trend where the “Game of Thrones” powers that be name their episodes after minor scenes that have little to do with the memorable moments; we get “First of His Name” named after the crowing of King Tommen Baratheon. (Are we still pretending he’s a Baratheon? Doesn’t everyone already know that he’s not?)…
What’s that off in the snowy distance? Well, it looks like a White Walker. He sure is taking his time sauntering along on his zombie horse. I’m talking Samwell Tarley slow. The episode is called “Oathkeeper,” but the Valerian steel sword given that name is far from the most interesting element of the episode. We saw a…
Hey guys, remember last week when Joffrey died? How about that? I half expected him to reanimate this week as an undead version of his already unbearable self. But that didn’t happen… yet. After such an explosive ending last week, I couldn’t possibly imagine how the show would keep up the momentum. Well I heard…
Have you ever wanted something to happen so badly but then you were ultimately left unfulfilled when it finally did? That’s me with the end result of this week’s episode of “Game of Thrones,” titled “The Lion and the Rose.” Spoilers are on the way if you haven’t watched yet. It’s a classic whodunit, but…
I can’t believe that season four of “Game of Thrones” is finally here. We’ve endured the winds of winter and are rewarded with the slow but steady progress of our friends from Westeros and beyond. But if there is one thing I realized as the curtain was pulled back on “Game of Thrones” 4.0 it’s…
Why does it seem as though books based in fantasy or historical settings always make food sound so delicious? Perhaps it’s because in most scenarios the characters have spent their days on a long voyage and they reach that point of hunger when even the idea of eating animal droppings seems reasonable. Just when the…
Game of Thrones isn’t just about sex and nudity. There are actual reasons for the sex scenes, and they help move the plot along. The sex is usually the backdrop for something much more serious. A secret is revealed or some plot twist occurs. Think back on when Cersei and Jamie were caught going at…
Last time, I talked about how your accent will guarantee if you’re a good guy or a bad guy in Star Wars. This week it’s a little closer to my heart: Game of Thrones. I love GOT. I really love it. I’ve spent entire days talking about it and nothing but it. My best friends…
Game of Thrones won our hearts back in 2011 when it premiered on HBO. For me, who didn’t subscribe to premium channels at the time, the only thing to do to catch up with the rest of society was to read the books. I was able to talk with people about the show, name drop…
After last week’s episode, I went into last night wondering just how much crazy action we were going to see. The season opened up with several loud bangs and it seemed as if the the show’s creators understood they needed a bit of a slowdown. Had this been the kind of slowdown that filled out…
If you want to see the massive scope of HBO’s hit series “Game of Thrones” look no further than what amounted to a two week season premiere. In 120 commercial free minutes, longer than many feature length films, we now have a sense of the season’s storylines and where our characters are going. There’s no…
Over the past few years the battle of piracy between the industry and the many civilian pirates has heated up with geeks at the forefront. Industry execs claim that they are suffering major financial losses as young pirates use their knowledge to stick it to the “man”. It may have started with the music, taking…
