I will openly admit that I’m in denial when it comes to the fact that the upcoming third season of HBO’s exceptional dramedy Somebody Somewhere will be its final one. Where is the justice in the television world where a series this rich, this funny, this emotionally satisfying can’t run in perpetuity? I cannot think […]
As someone who never got around to watching Matt Reeves 2022 take on the caped crusader The Batman (you know, the one with Robert Pattinson taking on the titular role in a darker, less polished version of the character), I was worried that I would be a tad lost when I sat down to sample […]
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 – […]
On this week’s installment of How to Claim Your Dragon . . . err, I mean House of the Dragon, we were granted the long-awaited Dragonseed claiming competition, which saw two new dragon riders emerge from a fiery scene that also saw the demise of a host of Targaryen bastards. We were also treated to […]
When I first heard about Fantasmas, the new super queer surrealist HBO comedy series from Julio Torres, I wasn’t quite sure what to think about it. I was someone who had missed the boat on Torres’ previous HBO series, Los Espookys, so I wasn’t sure if this series would be for me. But boy, was […]
There have been two background storylines this season that have felt rather clunky in their lead up, but both finally started to pay dividends this week – just in time for each to heavily factor into the anticipated season endgame (which I won’t spoil, don’t worry, but if you’re a book reader, I suspect you’ve […]
After last week’s explosive episode, this week’s House of the Dragon was far more concerned with setting the stage for the back half of the season. We checked in with every major player, took stock of where they were and what they were doing and what their next hurdle would be – and laid out […]
If there one thing we never really saw during Game of Thrones it was just how destructive dragons could be. Sure, we got to see Dany mow down enemies in battle from time to time, but the true destruction and loss of life wrought by her posse of dragons was always at her behest – […]
Now that is what I have been waiting for from House of the Dragon for quite some time. That conversation between Rhaenyra and Alicent was the epitome of what makes a tragedy a great tragedy. That moment of realization that one single misstep, one choice, one misunderstanding set in motion something so complex and unstoppable […]
After last week’s relatively disappointing premiere episode (in which nothing really happened until the close – and I’ve since been informed that the Blood and Cheese incident from the book is much more disturbing than the one presented in the series, which further adds to the disappointment), this week’s installment of House of the Dragon […]
