For all the people searching for what the song at the end of Game of Thrones tonight was, here you go: The song is The Rains of Castomere performed by the band The National with lyrics by George R. R. Martin. According to the Westeros wiki (beware spoilers at that site), the song was written […]
Tonight’s refreshments are: Familia Camerena Tequila (Reposada), and much seltzer and lime. It is stinking humid summer here now, and that means summer beverages. Also, nothing complements bloody flaming ownage quite like tequila. Since I assume this ep will be impossible to recap other than reciting the body count and litany of horrors, I’m taking […]
Tonight’s refreshments are: The last gasp of the Old Weller 107, which I have conquered after a long bloody siege. And Negra Modelo for beer, because I made chili. If it really comes down to it, there’s the Evan Williams single barrel Bourbon, vintage 2002. I am going to drink for every dull, pedantic utterance […]
Tonight’s refreshments are: Dubhe Imperial Black IPA, from Colorado’s Uinta Brewery, and our old nemesis the Old Weller 107. If you like your beer sweet, malty, hoppy, death-black and unpronounceable, try the Dubhe. If you feel like a bottle of Bourbon that your uncle William took more than a week to put a dent in, […]

Okay, Peter Dinklage has been playing Tyrion with such scene-stealing awesome that season one was kinda his story too. The George R. R. Martin lines for Tyrion in the book are pretty great and they work […]
Tonight’s refreshments are: Shift pale lager, from Colorado’s Fat Tire brewery, and Old Weller 107 Bourbon. If you don’t care for weak lager and are bored with overhopped IPAs, try the Shift. If you hate your liver and can’t be bothered with “smoothness” in your whiskey, Old Weller for you. Tonight’s episode of Game of […]
I was very excited to see the baby dragon eating lunch on Game of Thrones last week. I want to feed baby dragons. I hope there will be dragons on tonight’s episode.
Our latest episode of Game of Thrones begins with an oath sworn, an oath promised, and all looks good. Renly gets his blithe on, offers Cat everything on a plate, pops off his armor, and everything goes to shit in minutes. You’ve got to give credit: those three mooks who charged Brienne in her grief […]
We open this episode of Game of Thrones with a pair of comedy soldiers gossiping in the rain, because this is Shakespeare after all. Yep, fart joke and a piss, this is Henry V, except it’s an American Direwolf in London. This smooth fucker who looks a bit too much like Stannis doesn’t get named, […]
