Game of Thrones: Season 6 Episode 9 Battle of the Bastards Review
Easily, the most anticipated episodes of the season, Battle of the Bastards certainly lived up to and perhaps exceeded all hype. Certainly, this episode is not for the weak of heart, especially once we get to the North. Director Miguel Sapochnik is becoming my go-to director for creating intense, heart palpitating moments, considering he already…

HBONow Goes Down; Game of Thrones Fanbase Rages
HBONow had a highly embarrassing outage right on the night of the most highly anticipated Game of Thrones episode of the season.

Game of Thrones: Season 6 Episode 6 Blood of My Blood Review

Game of Thrones: Explaining Hodor/Hold the Door
There’s quite a few people attempting to explain exactly what happened to Hodor in Season 6 Episode 5 which explains the origins of Hodor.
