This season of Game of Thrones could have been great. But it needed to be more than six episodes. It needed writers who hadn’t taken their eye off the ball. … More Game of Thrones – Season 8 Episode 6 “The Iron Throne”
So, Season 8 Episode 5 “The Bells” was probably the most “Game of Thrones” episode of this season and so was actually somewhat satisfying compared to the utter mess of the last one. But, as the penultimate episode before everything ends… I’m not sure if the writers have the time or ability to redeem themselves. … More Game of Thrones – Season 8 Episode 5 “The Bells”
With episode four, “The Last of the Starks”, the epic finale of season eight and all of Game of Thrones should be starting to form. Tensions should be rising, the stakes getting higher, and everything that is included on screen should feel like it contributes to the end game. Unfortunately I don’t think this episode managed any of this and I’m not sure I’ve ever been quite so unsatisfied with the series. Obviously there will be spoilers ahead. … More Game of Thrones – Season 8 Episode 4 “The Last of the Starks”
So, after 78 minutes of stomach-churning battle scenes and wondering just how Game of Thrones “The Long Night” was going to be, it’s over. We’ve seen death and we’ve seen who has won. Or have we? This post is almost as dark as the episode and full of spoilers. … More Game of Thrones – Season 8 Episode 3 “The Long Night”
I think that’s everyone, right? I loved this episode of Game of Thrones, “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms”, for its character interactions but I do feel that it has given us strong hints about who may live or die in the coming battle. So much so that I’ve apparently spent over three thousand words going over my thoughts! After all, in the Game of Thrones, you win or you die. … More Game of Thrones – Season 8 Episode 2 “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms”
So Game of Thrones is back and it’s the end. There are only six episodes this season. And then it’s all over. The game will be over. Someone will have won or they will have died. And, given GoT’s reputation for killing off the unexpected characters, who knows where we’ll end up? … More Game of Thrones – Season 8 Episode 1 “Winterfell”
Overall, I really enjoyed Bandersnatch. Despite its relative predictability and the feeling that my choices were limited, this played in well with the overall story and it was an exciting watch. I would happily give it another run-through to see if I can find the missing endings (and investigate what happens if you keep on insisting on certain dead pathways). … More Black Mirror – Bandersnatch (2018)
Confusion for Sabrina, as a character, is integral to her story arc as a half-witch. Confusion for Sabrina, the series, demands hellfire. And not the good kind. … More The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina (2018)
For a normal episode, “The Dragon and the Wolf” was wonderful. For a season finale, it was a bit…. lukewarm. … More Game of Thrones – Season 7 Episode 7 “The Dragon and the Wolf”
While it had lots of little jumps, Game of Thrones Beyond the Wall was ultimately a very fun to watch but entirely predictable plot filler. The writers needed to get from point a to b and even up the two sides, resulting in an episode that could pretty much have taken only ten minutes for the same effect. … More Game of Thrones – Season 7 Episode 6 “Beyond the Wall”
