We’re just two episodes away from the end of Game of Thrones, and after what had been a superb season 8 so far, “The Last of the Starks” was just a disappointing episode all around, one that seems to be…
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…
The Women of Winterfell: How Female Protagonists Can Define a War

Hot Take: Brienne of Tarth Should be the Next Disney Princess Because All Her Dreams are Starting to Come True
CAUTION: THIS POST CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR EPISODE 8X02 OF GAME OF THRONES. People tend think I’m bananas when I go on and on about how wonderful Brienne of Tarth is. I just can’t help it. I stan Brienne so much.…
‘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…
