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,…
‘Game of Thrones’ 8×04 Roundtable: “The Last of the Starks”

‘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…
‘Game of Thrones’ 8×03 Review: “The Battle of Winterfell”
ARYA STARK. I almost feel like saying that’s it. That’s the review. What else can I say? What else needs to be said, really? Except, you know: Arya Stark. We did it. And I say we because that was an…
‘Game of Thrones’ 8×02 Roundtable: “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms”
Well, color me delighted, and shocked and utterly terrified. Because that was probably the most emotionally satisfying episode in the whole of Game of Thrones, and that doesn’t seem like it bodes well for the upcoming battle. But let’s not…
‘Game of Thrones’ 8×02 Review: A Tale of Three Love Stories
Winter is here, and with it comes the army of the dead, we only have four more episodes left of Game of Thrones, and I can – and should – legitimately spend every single second of this review talking about…
