Game of Thrones: Season 6 Episode 2, Home Review
A short, concise title mentioned a few key times in this episode. The pacing for this episode didn’t feel as frantic as Episode 1 for the season as the story now has caught up and has begun to move forward at a decent pace. Yet many major things are happening in this episode as the…

Game of Thrones: Season 6 Episode 1, Ser Jorah Mormont’s Real Issue
One of the most interesting characters in the show for me is Ser Jorah Mormont. In the books thus far, he has not received any viewpoint chapters.

Game of Thrones: Season 5 Episode 10 Review
The climax of the season has come and gone. So much speculation on the internet about what would happen especially when a certain preview got leaked. If anything I’m certain everyone will agree in unison that everyone will be immediately impatient for the next season to start already. At any rate, let’s get cracking on…

After last week’s universally acclaimed episode and with David Nutter, of the Rains of Castamere (aka The Red Wedding) episode claim to fame, assigned as the director, there was a lot of high expectations riding on this week’s episode, The Dance of Dragons.

Game of Thrones: Season 5 Episode 8 “Hardhome” Thoughts
Season 4 Episode 8 was considered a “mind blowing” one. Of course, that was a pun on the gruesome fate of Oberyn Martell. For Season 5 Episode 8 “Hardhome,” the term “mind blowing” is more appropriate in terms of what goes down.
