Game of Thrones “The Dragon and the Wolf”
Well, “Winds of Winter†that was not. In previous years, hearing that a Game of Thrones season finale would be pushing 90 minutes in length would have left me excited and full of anticipation. After all, lots of excellent episodes of this show are longer than average in duration. Why wouldn’t “The…
Game of Thrones “Stormborn”
Game of Thrones has a villain problem. It’s clear that this season’s “big bad†is Euron Greyjoy, the insufferable uncle of Yara and Theon. He blew in at the tail end of season six, a menacing figure shrouded in mystery. And although he’s somehow proved himself a capable conqueror (I find…
Game of Thrones “Battle of the Bastards”
For all of my complaints about Game of Thrones’ inconsistency in quality this season — that the dialogue is weak, the scenes are too pandering, twists too predictable — the show never fails to be fun. It’s a show that envelopes you, brings you in, and it’s probably the only…
Game of Thrones Preview: “Book of the Stranger”
Littlefinger is absent no more! Petyr Baelish makes his first appearance of the season in “Book of the Stranger,” making it clear that he knows that Sansa escaped from Winterfell.

Game of Thrones “Homeâ€

Game of Thrones Preview: “The Red Womanâ€
After an agonizing ten months, the time has finally arrived. Game of Thrones is back. We closed Season 5, what seems to be the most divisive of seasons, with many of our characters in dire situations. Daenerys is left surrounded by Dothraki after escaping the fighting pits in Meereen. Theon…
Game of Thrones “High Sparrow”
Like a bad penny, Jorah Mormont shows up when you least expect him. Tyrion warns Varys that he’s losing his mind being cooped up during their travel to Meereen. Volantis seems like a good place to get a breath of fresh air. Even though Tyrion knows the danger, he’s willing to…

Thank Me Later: Will Trent
[Warning: spoilers ahead.] I’m on record as loving and losing shows over at ABC so I’m usually very reticent to pick something up on the network until it’s been renewed, and I seriously hope I’m not jinxing it, but I took a chance on the deeply odd and very sweet…
