And with the death of King Viserys at the close of the eighth episode of House of the Dragon, the Dance of the Dragons has begun. But before we get to that moment within “The Lord of the Tides” – an episode that handles a good deal of expositional work to lay the final bit […]
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 […]
David Bowie was one of the most celebrated musicians of the modern era. He was known for making many great songs, like “Space Oddity,” “Life on Mars” and “Lazarus.” The Bowie estate authorised a documentary with the celebrated filmmaker Brett Morgen directing. This documentary looks at Bowie’s work, inspiration, and philosophy throughout his career, from the early […]
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 […]
