HBO’s mammoth hit Game of Thrones will have an extra long season six finale, according to Variety. The most recent season of Game of Thrones has featured characters coming back to life, meaningful character deaths, favorite characters in peril, and some surprising returns. To get viewers even more excited for the finale, HBO announced that the […]
As I said last week, I’m perfectly fine with Game of Thrones taking its time to set the chess board for the season’s final major moments. Three episodes of it is a bit much, but I would have been willing to let this slide had there been enough interesting character beats to justify the lack […]
“The Broken Man” continued last week’s rising action exposition dump, but once again managed to do so in an interesting and engaging manner. While the return of the Hound was almost as poorly a kept secret as Jon’s return from the dead, seeing him and a few new faces this week kept Game of Thrones‘s […]
I’ll say this for season six of Game of Thrones: things are absolutely racing by at a fast clip after a few seasons of dallying. Perhaps it’s a case of the showrunners finally realizing they are running out of time to tell the entire story, or maybe the arcs have simply been pared down to […]
HOLD THE DOOR! Poor Hodor. Loyal to the end. But that was a hell of a way to go, no? Throughout the last few weeks, I’ve read several theories positing that Bran was going to be somehow responsible for Hodor’s hodor-ness, which I agreed with, but I certainly didn’t think the writers would let us […]
After three weeks of slogging through exposition (which, on a show as sprawling as Game of Thrones, is only to be expected), “Book of the Stranger” finally kicked a number of storylines into high gear. And not a moment too soon, as there are only six episodes remaining in the season and something of substance […]
Now that’s more like it. With “Oathbreaker,” season six of Game of Thrones finally moved beyond the exposition stage and started moving stories forward. For fans of the novels, there were a few key questions that were answered, and for those who only follow the show, it was a fully enjoyable hour packed full of […]
That Red God is really something, isn’t he? Now that Game of Thrones has finally given us all exactly what we’ve been waiting for since the season five finale, perhaps the writers could check another item off our list and finally put an end to Ramsay? Because I’m so sick and tired of everything about […]
Guess what, everyone? Jon Snow is really, most sincerely dead. Now that we have confirmed that what the cast, crew, and creative team behind Game of Thrones have been preaching since the end of Season 5 is true, let’s unpack the heaps of exposition we were given this week. Oh, and that really intriguing look […]
The end might be coming for Game of Thrones sooner than expected. After Season 6, which is set to premiere on April 24, the HBO show may only have 13 episodes left. Season 7 would consist of 7 episodes, while the eighth season would have 6 episodes. Speaking to Variety, showrunner David Benioff said that […]
