“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

Oathkeepers, Clams, And Cocks

[Contains humourless bankers and SPOILERS!!!] Season five of Game of Thrones went out swinging this week, with a surprisingly high number of prominent characters getting snuffed… or seemingly snuffed, anyway. This is a magickal Fantasy world we’re talking about, after … Continue reading

“Look! The Pie!”

[Contains convenient crusty distractions and SPOILERS!!!] The fourth season of Game of Thrones drew to a close this week… and, much like the average life-span in Westeros, it was bloody, brutal, and all too brief! Ten episodes a year really … Continue reading

The Wed & The Dead

[Contains blind-siding, bushwhacking SPOILERS!!!] And so we come to the end of another, all-too-brief season of Game of Thrones… one which may well finish with far fewer viewers than it began, after the tragic and traumatic events in the penultimate … Continue reading

Girls Will Be Boys
