It’s pretty amazing what difference a (mostly) new cast can make. Lest you think I’m criticizing the younger versions of the vast majority of The House of the Dragon’s ever-growing cast of characters, I’m not. But having older, more experienced actors take the reins when the story needs to start getting darker, more complicated, and […]
So here we are – ten years further into the future with a host of new actors, new characters, and the same old grudges (just a bit more fermented and with more furor simmering under – and in some cases, over – the surface*). I must admit, while I still believe the series would have […]
We’ve come to the end of an age within House of the Dragon – with Rhaenyra wed to Ser Laenor Velaryon, Queen Alicent all but raising her Hightower bannermen up against Rhaenyra’s claim to the throne (and at her wedding rehearsal dinner, no less), Daemon killing his wife and freeing himself to make a claim […]
Well, it took three and a half episodes, but House of the Dragon finally decided to do some work in crafting characters and relationships beyond simply putting one dimensional characters in a room, refusing to let them actually have a conversation, and then jumping two years into the future and ignoring any and all questions […]
Three episodes into House of the Dragon and I remain absolutely flummoxed as to why the series is unfolding the way that it is. It’s not that the show is churning through years of time episode to episode – I understand that it wants to jump into the actual war for the Iron Throne and […]
In this week’s installment of House of the Dragon, the series once again presented us with a host of political maneuvering – and, much as with the series premiere, the various characters and their self-serving machinations felt out-and-out boring to watch. Where Game of Thrones could make the game of thrones fun, compelling, and suspenseful, […]
Well, here we are, just over three years after the finale of Game of Thrones, the sour taste of that final season of one of the most popular television series of the 21st century still lingering on our tongues, to begin another saga set in Westeros. This time, instead of diving into a sprawling epic […]
Kieran and Jean discuss all things related to HBO’s Game of Thrones
Hollyoaks is celebrating its 25th Anniversary. Being such a long-running soap opera there has been a high turnover of actors. Many have gone on to have successful acting careers. Tosin Cole and Mandip Gill became The Thirteenth Doctor’s companions, Wallis Day appeared in shows like The Royals and Krypton, and Carley Stenson is a musical […]
After watching two episodes of Netflix’s new fantasy series The Witcher (an adaptation of the novel series and video game of the same name), I almost threw in the towel. As someone with zero knowledge of this fantasy world, I was confused by the characters, I didn’t understand the politics, and I was bored with […]
