Game of Thrones: Season 6 Episode 6 Blood of My Blood Review
I wanted to change the format of this type of review a little. Typically, in the past I would just write up a summary rather than a truly thought provoking process. I felt that while it would help people wanting to catch up with what’s going on, that format wasn’t conducive for a more fluid…

Game of Thrones: Explaining Hodor/Hold the Door
There’s quite a few people attempting to explain exactly what happened to Hodor in Season 6 Episode 5 which explains the origins of Hodor. Some theories are far too complicated in terms of explaining the space-time continuum paradox that any series dealing with time travel undergoes. But I feel that the idea of Hodor’s essence…

Game of Thrones: Season 6 Episode 5 The Door Review
This episode will be one of the harder ones to write about as quite a bit was emotional. The title The Door is pretty appropriate but that part will be revealed later.

Game of Thrones: Season 6 Episode 4, Book of the Stranger Review
The scene starts where we see Jon starting to pack up and leave his history of Castle Black to the past. Edd at first inquires where he intends to go and Jon replies south to get warm (hey, Jon has a sense of humor now!). However, Edd understands what’s beyond The Wall and feels slightly…

Game of Thrones: Season 6 Episode 3 Oathbreaker Review
Open with Jon rising and Ser Davos Seaworth and Melisandre speaking with him about death. Davos’ concern is how it occurred while Melisandre’s concern focuses on what happened after he got stabbed.

Game of Thrones: Season 6 Episode 3 Oathbreaker Preview Thoughts

In the case of Brienne, that is due to her naming of her sword Oathkeeper. However, as with most Game of Thrones episodes, the title attempts to encompass…

Game of Thrones: Season 6 Episode 2, Home Review
A short, concise title mentioned a few key times in this episode. The pacing for this episode didn’t feel as frantic as Episode 1 for the season as the story now has caught up and has begun to move forward at a decent pace. Yet many major things are happening in this episode as the…

Game of Thrones: Season 6 Episode 1, Ser Jorah Mormont’s Real Issue
One of the most interesting characters in the show for me is Ser Jorah Mormont. In the books thus far, he has not received any viewpoint chapters. In the show however, he plays a far larger role and has been provided ample solo or primary camera time. Yet he’s a very curious character in attempting…
