“Shall We Begin?”

[Contains super-sonic ravens and SPOILERS!!!] The seventh season of Game of Thrones ended as it began (sort of) with an army of ice-zombies marching inexorably south, to wage a “great war” between the living and the dead. I can’t speak … Continue reading

Wooden Horses, Ahoy! (Pt. 1)

[Contains hastily spilt rum and SPOILERS!!!] The sixth season of Game of Thrones ended with a bumper-length finale, which went some way to making up for the disappointingly-short premiere… and coincidentally (?), both of these bookending episodes contained meh-worthy scenes … Continue reading

[Contains ubiquitous golden face-masks and SPOILERS!!!] My rant about the fifth season of Game of Thrones continues, with a couple more disappointments… I was excited to learn that ‘Varys’ (Conleth Hill) was taking ‘Tyrion’ (Peter Dinklage) to meet ‘Daenerys’ (Emilia … Continue reading

No Place Like Rome 1: Canon vs. Cannon

“Look! The Pie!”
