Game of Thrones: The Dragon and the Wolf

"The Great War is here."

Hello everyone!

Well, we made it. Yet another season over and we all still seem to be standing. Okay, sadly, Thoros isn't with us anymore, and lamentably we said bye-bye to a lot of nameless extras who happened to tag along in just the right places to be conveniently killed, but you know what I mean. 

We're almost at the hail Mary for this show!

Game of Thrones has consistently delivered, despite perhaps not having the exact political bangs going on as it did while Martin was still actively participating and the episodes were based off his actual books. Which, to be perfectly honest, is not the show's fault. The producers can't be expected to wait FOREVER until the guy finally decides how he's going to untangle the mess he created for himself.

Also, he's still around, you know, giving commentary. It's not like it's not approved.

But in any event, The Dragon and the Wolf was an episode EVERYONE looked forward to - and pretty much everyone was stoked about by the time it ended.

Game of Thrones: The Spoils of War

"The Great War is here."

Hello everyone!

Thankfully, our initial heatwave seems to be over at the moment, although looking at these stormclouds that seem to be gathering I'm apprehensive for quite a different reason this time around.

But anyway. 

Making sure I don't miss my weekly Game of Thrones blog, I come bearing gifts, which is the review for the fourth episode of the season, The Spoils of War! And dang, we're already past the halfway point now, only three more to go.

How fast does time fly, right?

And man, if you just look at these episodes, it's like we can never get enough, which is probably the point.

After all, there is only one Iron Throne.
