Well, it appears that the Targaryens aren’t the only sadistic, power-hungry forces in Westeros. Ormund Hightower is pretty darn horrific in his own right. Although, anyone familiar with the goings on in Westeros likely wasn’t shocked to see that Alicent’s cousin, and guardian of her youngest son, Daeron, has his own designs on the Iron […]
This week in Queen’s Landing, Rhaenyra learned an incredibly difficult but crucial lesson: It’s not easy being Queen. Because it turns out, everyone wants a piece of you – from your fellow nobles and family to the small folk who rely on the crown for aid. And, she also learned, it’s not possible to give […]
After a very long two year wait, we’re back with season three of House of the Dragon. And what a perfectly okay season premiere it was. We got the much-anticipated Battle of the Gullet – an event many fans of the book expected in season two, but budget constraints pushed to this season opener. And […]
After the climax of the trial of the seven, this first season finale of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms (or, perhaps A Knight of the Nine Kingdoms, if we’re to go by Egg’s accounting of the official realms of Westeros – although I suspect Dorne and the Iron Islands might have a quibble with […]
There’s been an interesting trend in television over the last couple of years where the penultimate episode of a season is an extended flashback. Usually that episode also serves as a means to convey key information about the present-day story to the audience – think the penultimate episode of Paradise’s first season. And sometimes, as […]

Kudos to A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms for not holding onto Egg’s true identity for as long as humanly possible. I know that there are folks out there who managed to stay spoiler-free as to just who this tiny squire might turn out to be (even though the series was pretty heavy-handed, especially in […]
The interesting thing about a show like A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is that it isn’t concerned with an ever-longer list of characters. We have our two central characters – Dunk and Egg – and then the rest of the folks at the tourney. Now, some of those folk – including the ones we […]
The latest Game of Thrones spin-off has made its way to HBO. And it’s something quite different than fans of the bloody, violent, and overstuffed series might expect. It’s rare that I ended an episode of Thrones or House of the Dragon thinking, “Oh, what a lovely episode!” But watching the pilot of A Knight […]
Tell me you blew your budget before getting to your season finale without telling me you blew your budget. Woof. After a season of managing to right the ship and get House of the Dragon onto a pretty darn solid storytelling path, we were gifted a season finale that – for the most part – […]
