Our latest episode of Game of Thrones opens in a dark, muddy shithole village, and leads us to the filthy whorehovel where Gilly does the washing up. And gets drunkenly abused for being a Wildling. Why is everyone so mean about Wildlings? Well, the raiding and slaughtering is kind of off-putting. Luckily Ginger has a […]
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. […]
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 […]
This week’s episode of Game of Thrones opens on a single awakening eye. It’s a cool and peaceful morning, and young Arya Stark has murder on her mind and a rock in her filthy hands. The Hound is off his bender, though, and isn’t to be snuck up on. Lesson learned: next time, throw the […]
We begin our episode of Game of Thrones a bit south of the wall, where we have some manner of jealous intrigue developing with Jon & Ginger and Orell. Orell’s true feelings for Ygritte must have awakened after he cut her lifeline last week. Either that or he’s sick of listening to their conversation and […]
Quick note: The wife pointed out to me a thing I’d never noticed about the opening credits. All the cast members have appropriate sigils appended to their names. Family sigils for all the Lannisters and such, and more creative ones for the unaffiliated, like Conleth Hill (Varys). The production staff get them too. It’s little […]
We begin our new episode of Game of Thrones in the BWB Batcave, where Thoros is leading evening prayers and Lord Beric is getting into character in preparation for Sandor Clegane’s trial by (wait for it) FIRE! First off, if this is supposed to be a fair fight in the eyes of the Red God, […]
It could be that GRRM has a thing about hands. Hand of the King, Half-hand, Short-hand, you see where I’m going. And now we have Jaime with his hand strung around his neck, in a revolting parody of his dad’s badge of office. Ruthven’s boys are making dreary sport of him, for all he gives […]
We open with the viking funeral of Cat’s dad. Doing the honors with the fire arrow is the sinister 2nd in command to Capt. Davos in last night’s Doctor Who. He’s having no better luck here, and after 3 misses gets roughly relieved of duty. (And totally owned.) And we have a debrief with Robbo, […]
We begin our second Game of Thrones of the season with another installment of My How You’ve Grown, this time starring wee Brandon Stark, dancing through his dreams looking like he’s ready for freshman year at NYU. Even in his hallucinatory prophesy dreams he’s crap at archery, but at least he can walk and pal […]
