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 Preview: “Beyond the Wall”
As we all know, Game of Thrones likes to go big in the penultimate episode of each season. Judging by the trailer for “Beyond the Wall,†this season is no different. And the message has been telegraphed loud and clear: Winter is here. We closed last week’s episode with Jon…
Game of Thrones “The Spoils of War”
Now that was a battle scene. We knew Daenerys was approaching her breaking point. Cersei has been pushing and pushing, and Daenerys has been itching to actually fight; much to Tyrion’s chagrin. But we’ve all known Dany’s a ruler of the people. She prefers to be hands on. So it…
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 Preview: “No One”

Game of Thrones “The Broken Man”
This week’s Game of Thrones “The Broken Man” reminded us how literally damaged many on the show really are. The Hound, Jaime, and Theon, physically. All of them and then the entire cast of characters when you take in consideration mental and emotional damage. But for all the broken men…
