Let’s get something out in the open right away: there were some STELLAR performances in this episode. Alfie Allen has developed Theon Greyjoy into not only a broken character, but also a sympathetic one, now believing wholeheartedly that he is in fact Reek. “Reek, my name is Reek. It rhymes with weak.” (It’s okay if you…
“First of His Name” has brought us to the halfway mark of the fourth season of Game of Thrones. We open with Tommen’s crowning, seeing our new king (now with more blonde!) making nervous eyes over at Margaery, who then has a nice little chat with everyone’s favorite queen regent. “I won’t even know what to call…
“First of His Name” brings us halfway through the fourth season of the spectacular Game of Thrones, and pretty much nowhere else. After last episode’s revelations, the fifth one feels like an obliged step to stabilize the situation in King’s Landing and let everyone prepare for the second act. We begin with young Tommen Baratheon, First…
If you haven’t seen the fourth episode of this season of Game of Thrones, “Oathkeeper,” read at your own risk. There are many parts of the episode that stay true to the books, so let’s not completely freak out. Brienne and Podrick are a match made in Awkward Heaven. I saw a plea from a…
If last episode’s review taught us that one of the commandments of Game of Thrones is “No One Is Safe,” the most recent show indisputably confirmed yet another constant in George R.R. Martin’s world: after a mind-blowing twist or event, for at least the next two episodes nothing is going to happen. This is probably one…
BEWARE: I spoil. Metal Hurlant Chronicles is 30 minutes because each episode is a different story told on a different planet. I’m answering that question because that was my first question before I sat down and watched it. The length of the episode was a big concern for me since I’m so used to hour-long…
WARNING: Heavy spoilers ahead. IT IS BACK! Finally, the moment we’ve all been waiting for, the epic return of Game of Thrones! Our expectations have never been higher and we are prepared to have our minds blown one episode after another. Let’s take a look at the latest installment of the new season. If the first…
When watching Game of Thrones, I find myself thinking (more times than I’d like to admit), “Wait, who is this? Which house? Why is he killing that guy?!” Now that the exciting fourth season is about to start, I would like to prevent further recurrences of this awkward moment for people like me (as in, those…
HBO’s wonderful adaption of George R. R. Martin’s exciting, jaw-dropping series, Game of Thrones, is one of the most popular series on television today. Now, with the fourth season’s trailer released, the number of websites dedicated to the series is continuously growing. Yet, these four websites are perhaps the best for any Game of Thrones fan: 1. A Wiki…
As you may or may not have figured out by now, I am a passionate viewer of various television series ranging from Doctor Who to Game of Thrones. Arguably, I watch them somewhat religiously, tuning in each week to explore new worlds with a bunch of interesting and compelling characters. However, despite my love for certain shows, I am…
I remember being thirteen and accidentally stumbling across Stargate: Atlantis and falling in love with it immediately. After looking through my father’s DVD cabinet in search of something to watch, without a moment of hesitation I took season one up to my bedroom and watched it over the course of three wonderful days. This was the very…
I’ve always had a soft spot for the opening credits of a show. In a lot of ways they used to be able to tell you so much about the show, specifically of course the actors and creators, but more importantly an overarching feel of the show as a whole. The right sequence, animation, or…
