Game of Thrones, S. 5, E. 7: “The Gift”

May 27, 2015 by Caitlin

Week 7 and… Wow, I am getting a little weary of this season. Perhaps it’s all the discussions about misogyny and rape, or maybe I’m just feeling winded from saying “But that didn’t happen in the books!” (Okay, I should just try to stop saying that.) No matter – we’re a mere three episodes away from the end of the season, and I THINK we’re building up to something good. Let’s have at this week, shall we? So. Sam and […]

Game of Thrones S. 5, E. 6: “Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken”

May 18, 2015 by Caitlin

Well… that was week 6.

Game of Thrones, S. 5 E. 5: “Kill The Boy”

Clearly whatever books Mr. Martin does finish will differ greatly than the show, but here’s what I want to know: will the end game be the same for both? Paths diverge, and different characters die, but do all paths lead to the same […]

Game of Thrones, S. 5, E. 4: “Sons of The Harpy”

May 4, 2015 by Caitlin

Hi, and welcome to week four! How’s everyone else feel about this season so far? I think it’s starting to get a bit repetitive and filler-filled. This is one of the shortest GOT review I’ve written, given the extra battle scenes and lack of things happening. Oh well! On to the episode! If you happen to watch the “Previously on…” there should be definite “HEY LOOK AT THIS” clue when you see scenes from back in season one. This latest one, featuring […]
