Unrelated: Is it odd that Arya Stark & Tyrion Lannister/ Night King Killer & King’s Hand/ The Anti & Rejected Royalty never meet? “The Bells” may have been the worst episode of the series in the worst season, but “The Iron Throne” or “A Time of Spring” as it should be called was as good of…

One Episode to Go: Can ‘Game of Thrones’ Stick the Landing?
Fans faith of the most popular show on earth was shaken as quality wise the writing quality on Game of Thrones has dipped significantly as its endgame comes into focus. The source of the problem according to fans and reviews seems to rest entirely on the writer/ creators David Benioff & D.B. Weiss. Game of…
“The Bells” Was the Worst Episode of ‘Game of Thrones’. Ever.
That was historical. A Game 7 buzzer beater the likes of which nobody has seen before. It’s the law of conservation of energy that energy can neither be created nor destroyed; rather, it can only be transferred from one form to another. I am of course talking about the NBA playoff game between The Philidelphia…
“The Long [And Dark] Night” Game of Thrones Season 8 Episode 3: SPOILER REVIEW
What is most surprising about this week’s episode of Game of Thrones is that after giving us such classic outstanding episodes of the series such as The Winds of Winter, Hardhome & The Battle of the Bastards for which he won an Emmy Award, director Miguel Sapochink gives us something so adequate it’s arguably less…
“A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms” Review: ‘Hell of a Night’
This was an unquestionably good episode of Game of Thrones, the best in years (qualified praise since there’s only been a handful of episodes), and this is what TV from a cultural standpoint is all about. Well received, good non-clunky fan service and payoffs. When a show can just film people talking in a dimly…
“Once More Unto The Throne” ‘Game of Thrones’ Final Season (8) Premiere, Review: Winterfell
Plot: A bunch of Medieval folks fight against ancient snow zombies and each other in the most expensive TV Show of all time [R-RATED]. Preamble: 6 episodes, over $100 million dollars to spend on TV. That’s gotta be some sort of record. You gotta wonder if AT&T‘s acquisition of Warner Bros. last June afforded the…
Penultimate Game of Thrones is the best Game of Thrones
Season 7 Episode 6: ‘Beyond the Wall’ wastes no time on a shortened schedule. I don’t think there will ever be something as big as Game of Thrones for quite a while. Blockbuster tv shows like Breaking Bad, Mad Men or The Walking Dead usually compromise scope in favour of craft or performance but it is so…
Game of Thrones Season 7 Ep.3 Review: ‘The Queen’s Justice’
“Stormborn” Episode two, Season 7 of Game of Thrones may go down as one of the lesser remembered installments of the series, with only the final ship siege of Euron Greyjoy taking the Sand Snakes and Yara hostage of note, but this week’s follow-up ‘The Queen’s Justice’ is a different story. With the reunification of…
“Shall we begin?” Game of Thrones (S7.ep1) – Dragonstone Review
Preamble: The biggest television show in the world returns for a truncated penultimate season. Budgeted at around $100 million Director of Photography Robert McLachlan is on record as saying, “[T]hey only did seven episodes this year, but I think their budget’s probably the same, so I think you’re going to see, whereas before, we’d have one…
