Game of Thrones: Did Jon Snow Avenge the Red Wedding?
In Season 6 Episode 10, the Northern lords gather to proclaim Jon Snow the King of the North. After Lady Mormont shames the lords and declares her allegiance to Jon Snow, other lords quickly rise to join her. I believe Lord Manderly states that Jon Snow “avenged the Red Wedding.” While the scene is powerful…

Game of Thrones: Season 6 Episode 10 The Winds of Winter Review
The show starts off with the trial of Ser Loras Tyrell where he is tried for essentially being gay. He admits to his guilt and accepts his fate in casting away the Tyrell name. Virtually, everyone important is at the Sept except Tommen, Ser Robert Strong, Qyburn, Pycelle and Cersei Lannister. Because it also is…

Game of Thrones: Dark Sansa Emerges
Many people were severely disappointed in Sansa Stark’s story arc in Season 5 where many people expected Sansa to start playing the Game of Thrones and manipulate those around her. Instead, her story takes two twists from the book where she gets married off to Ramsay Bolton and worse yet relentlessly raped. So rather than…

Game of Thrones: Season 6 Episode 9 Battle of the Bastards Review
Easily, the most anticipated episodes of the season, Battle of the Bastards certainly lived up to and perhaps exceeded all hype. Certainly, this episode is not for the weak of heart, especially once we get to the North. Director Miguel Sapochnik is becoming my go-to director for creating intense, heart palpitating moments, considering he already…

Game of Thrones: Explaining the Arya Stark Plot
Game of Thrones Season 6 Episode 8 ended in a slightly controversial and perhaps anti-climatical manner with Arya Stark declaring her identity to Jaqen Hagar and departing the Faceless Men for Westeros. In retrospect, fans of the show have criticized her plot as being boring, pointless and perhaps even a waste of time with the…

GoT E8 starts off with Lady Crane, playing Cersei still, mourning her dead son Joffrey. There’s more emotion in the way she portrays Cersei and she receives a sound applause for her efforts. Her portrayal is similar to how Arya suggested it as the grieving mother. Thereafter she returns to her chamber to find Arya…

Game of Thrones: Season 6 Episode 7 The Broken Man Review
Game of Thrones starts unusual this week because we go directly into the show rather than the typical opening score. that leads the reintroduction of a much beloved character. Part of that you can see with the credits showing this actor’s name being billed up there.

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.
