Game of Thrones “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms”
When’s the last time in the history of Game of Thrones that we had two episodes in a row that were, I don’t want to say uneventful, but maybe the word is quiet? Relaxed? Sort of, chill? Just as in the season premiere “Winterfell,” “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms”…
Top of the Lake: China Girl Preview + TCA Excerpts
Sundance TV’s Top of the Lake was one of my favorite series of 2013. When a second series was announced, we knew it would take a while for it come around because Elisabeth Moss was wrapping Mad Men and then attached to Hulu’s juggernaut The Handmaid’s Tale. Alongside her other…

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…
