Game of Thrones: The Long Night

"We must fight together now ... or die."

Hello everyone!

We made it. Sort of. 

The Night King came and we mostly made it, so I suppose the day after is the time to count our losses, look and see just who it was that survived to fight another day, and figure out what in the seven hells went wrong.

Is anyone saying 'but nothing went wrong?'

HaHA. Sweet summer children.

A lot of things went wrong.

Still, at the end of the day, it was a cinematografic 80 minutes that HBO dished out for us, and for that I am truly thankful. With only three more episodes to go, it's coming to an end of an era, so I'm feeling bitter-sweet.

That being said, however, everyone is entitled to their own opinions. Or misopinions.

So make sure to grip that dragonglass, and have a torch ready. The Long Night is upon us.

Game of Thrones: A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms

"We must fight together now ... or die."

Hello everyone!

Winter is here. 

No, I mean, it's LEGIT HERE.

Not many people have missed the second episode of the Game of Thrones final season this weekend/Monday (depending where you live), so I'm going to bet that pretty much everyone knows what I'm talking about .

After all, there's really only one Night King.

And he means business.

With basically a third of the season already over (ZOINKS!) you best believe that it's not going to ease up any time soon.

There's too many people still alive, after all.

Brace yourselves and sound the horns; A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms has arrived.

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: Beyond the Wall

"The Great War is here."

Hello everyone!

Even at the seaside, I can't resist the lure that is Game of Thrones. I mean, come on, who could?

Definitely not me. 

Besides, there's something incredibly poetic about watching a big-ass dragon torch anything and everything in front of him while I'm sitting on the large terrace listening to the sea on the beach not too far away.

But I digress.

The penultimate episode of the season left us with one big-ass WHAT just as the episode ended (and you can see I love the term big-ass; I'll be using it a lot when it comes to the dragons, sorry-not-sorry!), but also with a sense of ... hey, guy ain't fooling around no more.

Beyond the Wall promised a lot - and delivered.

Game of Thrones: Eastwatch

"The Great War is here."

Hello everyone!

Can I just say one thing?

Oh.

My.

GOD.

SERIOUSLY.

Once again, some of my friends have complained nothing much happened in this week's Game of Thrones episode. I'm not entirely sure we're watching the same show anymore ... EVERYTHING HAPPENED THIS WEEK.

It isn't about the battles. It's not about who dies. It's about the people still living and breathing who're moving around the chessboard, and the declarations and revelations that keep hitting one after another and make me feel like I'm in one of those amusement parks trying to hold on for all it's worth. The episode titled 'Eastwatch' was EVERYTHING. And here's what happened.

Game of Thrones: The Queen's Justice

"The Great War is here."

Hello everyone!

Let me first tell you that I feel for the poor chicken which usually ends up in the cooking pot. I'm about the same right now and it's not even that late yet, but just sitting still I feel like I'm about to melt into a puddle on the floor. 

Summer has DEFINITELY got us in its grip, and will still for the next two weeks or so they say, so I desperately need some winter to cool off.

That pun was totally intended.

Anyway, after watching this latest episode of Un Passo Dal Cielo yesterday, I sat down to go through Game of Thrones as well, because ... well, because I couldn't resist, especially with that epic meeting in the works.

Let's move into The Queen's Justice, shall we?

Game of Thrones: Dragonstone

"The Great War is here."

Hello everyone!

Welcome, yet again, to another summer filled with Game of Thrones reviews and recaps. 

As I've done last year, I'm eschewing movies in favour of this television show because, SERIOUSLY, is there anyone (beside my sister) who hasn't seen this yet?

This Sunday marked the drop of the show's sevent season, a much-anticipated and highly speculated episode as well as the penultimate season of the show in general, since season eight is to be the last, during which we will finally, FINALLY, see the conclusion and who gets to sit on the bloody Iron Throne.

No pun intended.

So without further ado and without adding more to this introduction than is needed, let's jump right into the premiere, aptly named Dragonstone!
