Our new episode of Game of Thrones begins with Jaime and Tyrion recapping the last scene of the last ep. They agree that things could have gone better, but at least they screwed Tywin over. Tyrion’s leaning towards self pity, and the jokes are getting meaner and less funny. At least he’s aware of it. […]
Our new episode of Game of Thrones begins with Stannis having a meeting with a bank manager. I don’t know that I’ve ever felt sorry for him before. The director of semi-royal accounts is a smug, icy twat, played to perfection by Mycroft Holmes. He toys with Stannis and shuts him down hard, and insults […]
Our latest episode of Game of Thrones begins with the well-received coronation of King Tommen “Baratheon” I, who by virtue of not being a psychopath or a boozing whoremaster is the best king to show up for the job in 50 years. If I was a courtier witnessing these events, my next stop would be […]
We begin this week’s episode of Game of Thrones with Grey Worm and Missandei doing a little bonding over the shared horror of their past. She’s teaching him the common tongue of Westeros, apparently. Eyes on the prize, Dany. Grey’s role in the taking of Meereen is as an agent provocateur, supplying motivation and a […]
Our latest episode of Game of Thrones begins with a lingering shot of Joff being dead. Ahhhhhhh… And Sansa and Fatso the Unlikely Hero running for their lives, a lovely sunset, and a long row out to the Flying Dutchman. Apparently Sansa’s savior is Davy Jones. Nope, no such luck. Getting double-crossed and murdered is […]
We begin our second episode of Game of Thrones with Barry the Bastard playing at his usual outdoor amusement of chasing folks through the fresh woodland air with arrows. He has a chick with him, which couldn’t be much more distressing, and Our Theon of Sorrows is gamely attempting to keep up in spite of […]
Our new season of Game of Thrones begins with the final unsheathing of Ned Stark’s greatsword Ice, which Tywin Lannister has apparently decided to repurpose as two smaller swords. Sort of like splitting a loft space into two units. Since that isn’t enough of a symbolic emasculation and erasure for one pre-credit sequence, he also […]
Guys? Guys? Bunch of videos of Mila Kunis and Bourbon. She actually drinks Bourbon in one of them. It’s a bit intense. No, I don’t drink Jim Beam usually. But Old Overholt is a Beam brand and it’s a standby. And Beam’s under the Suntory umbrella now, so they’re in with Auchentoshan and Bowmore.
This week’s finale episode of Game of Thrones begins with me really not wanting to slog through recapping this dreary god-damned load. But Valar Dohaeris, fuckers. We in fact begin with the repellent Lord Flaymate mounting the battlements to survey the fiery, bloody, screaming mass of horror he has co-authored in his betrayal of the […]
This week’s penultimate episode of Game of Thrones opens with the line of the season: “Are you sure about this?” Spoken by Lady Cat, to her son Robbo, who has followed the path of honor to the edge of a nasty cliff. Robbo wants to set up a last-ditch lateral move, attacking the real seat […]
