Well, I guess Missandei and Grey Worm won’t be getting that beach front property after all (too soon?). There’s a general problem that arises as a series that is as plot heavy as Game of Thrones approaches its end game: characters and story arcs become rigidly stuck along a particular path to get to the […]
Following a fairly uninspired opening episode, “Gorilla War” is a much stronger offering for Ghosts.

Well, that was quite a bit of fan service (even after last week’s fan service-filled premiere) to get us to the start of The Battle of Winterfell. And, honestly, I really didn’t mind. During my seven season rewatch leading up to season eight, my major takeaway was how wonderful the quiet moments of the show […]
