If there was one lesson to be learned from this third season finale of House of the Dragon, it was that karma will eventually come around for you in the end. Not that any of the characters who wield power were either able to learn that lesson or understand it when it was clearly presented […]
Oh Rhaenyra, you’re in danger, girl. And not just from the newly risen Aegon and Sunfyre, who are now almost certainly on their way to take back what is theirs. You can’t trust Daemon – although, can you really blame him for wanting to protect his daughter (who he couldn’t have cared less about a […]
Thank god. Finally. Ser Cristen Cole is no more. And what a mundane end to such an odious man. For a character who began as a potential love interest for both Rhaenyra and Alicent – both of whom ultimately rejected him because, let’s face it, he’s not a catch – to meet his demise on […]
House of the Dragon has run up against an interesting issue in its third season – it’s running out of major plot points with which to drive the story forward while also refusing to take this time to flesh out its supporting cast in meaningful ways. The cast of House of the Dragon isn’t as […]
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 […]

In the pilot of Game of Thrones, Ned Stark teaches Jon, Robb, and Theon a crucial lesson that resonates throughout the rest of the series: He who passes sentence should swing the sword. It might not be the exact lesson Daemon was attempting to teach Rhaenyra as she prepared to ascend to the Iron Throne, […]
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 […]
I write about a lot of television. And that usually means I watch a series before it airs, compile my thoughts in a review, and then move onto the next show. It’s rare I get to savor a series or watch it like everyone else – even when I’m churning out episode reviews. That’s part […]
A key tenet of showbiz is to leave them wanting more, and I’m happy to report that Hacks does just that with its fifth and final season. After four seasons of watching the constant push and pull between Deborah Vance (the sensational Jean Smart) and Ava Daniels (Hannah Einbinder, who has matured into a true […]
