I had many issues with the Game of Thrones finale, as I established both in my review and in the roundtable, and there are probably still a few rants in my future about how badly this show bungled GRRM’s vision,…

‘Game of Thrones’ 8×06 Roundtable: “The Iron Throne”
This is it. “The Iron Throne” is the end of an era, for better or worse. We’re done with the weekly Game of Thrones discussions, and these characters, what they are, and what they can be, are back in GRRM’s…
‘Game of Thrones’ 8×06 Review: I Can’t Get No Satisfaction
Here we are, at the end, and I struggle to find words to describe what I just witnessed. Disappointing? Anticlimactic? Just plain nonsensical? Which all leads us to the question: Is this the most unsatisfying ending in the history of…
‘Game of Thrones’ 8×05 Roundtable: “The Bells”
Oh, Game of Thrones. How I wish you were anything but what you are. Or, at least, how I wish you’d chosen another path instead of this one. Let’s call this the roundtable of disappointment. Last week we were angry,…
‘Game of Thrones’ 8×05 Review: The Path Of Least Resistance
Ironic that I keep thinking of this phrase, one that I heard often in my childhood. Ironic because “The Bells” aired on Mother’s Day, and this was my mom’s phrase anytime we took the easy way out, which I will admit,…

Jaime Didn’t Leave to Save Cersei. He Left to Protect Brienne.
“The things we do for love.” Bran Stark echoed back a variation of Jaime Lannister’s own words to him in 8×02. Jaime’s arc in both Game of Thrones and A Song of Ice and Fire has always been about the…
‘Game of Thrones’: Strength Doesn’t Just Come from Suffering
Suffering does not equal strength. Period. There was a lot to hate in last week’s Game of Thrones, from the fact that they killed off the only WOC in the show, to the show-runners apparently committing to the least surprising…
‘Game of Thrones’ 8×04 Review: We Played Ourselves
To be fair, we should have known. To be fair, we played ourselves. We always knew this story wasn’t likely to have a happy ending, and yet the first three episodes of season eight had lulled us into a false…
‘Game of Thrones’ 8×03 Roundtable: “The Long Night”
Well, THAT happened. And by that, we mean, of course, the thing with Arya stabbing the Night King and ending the Long Night, but also absolutely every other second of this episode. Because love it or hate it, I think…
