Game of Thrones

TV review: ‘House of the Dragon’ one of my favorite geek stories this year

The first season of House of the Dragon ended on a maddening cliffhanger this past Sunday, with a devastating tragedy that will surely send shockwaves across the land of Westeros and plunge the realm into an infamous civil war known in George R.R. Martin’s writings as the “Dance of the

TV review: House of the Dragon

I was late to the party when it came to joining the Game of Thrones fandom. I waited to watch the series until all the seasons had finished airing, and I watched it all in one epic swoop in the summer of 2019.  The ending of HBO’s massive hit series

A blog of ice and fire: Thoughts on Game of Thrones seasons 4 & 5

I’m still mad about the infamous “red wedding,” but nevertheless, my first-time viewing of Game of Thrones continues with seasons 4 and 5. I’m really starting to pick up speed now — I watched the first season in about a month, but I finished season 4 in a week. It’s

A blog of ice and fire: Thoughts on Game of Thrones seasons 2 & 3
