If Game of Thrones had aired when I was growing up, in the era of Krull and Beastmaster, the titles might have looked a little like this…
I found this very interesting (and very creative) Buffy vs. Edward mashup online. It’s worth highlighting not only because of its skill, but because it contrasts two of the most popular teen vampire franchises. Buffy the Vampire Slayer is my…
Sons of Anarchy could be loosely described as The Sopranos with bikers, but like anything, it’s execution dependent, and in this case the execution is awesome…
A video of Game of Thrones season 2 effects shots shown before and after.
The season finale has a lot of threads to cover, the extra long “previously on” clip covers no less than eleven major plot lines! Amazingly, the episode manages to do a pretty damn good job with them — even when many only get one scene.
With Episode 19, Blackwater, the normally highly fractured narrative of the show lasers in and focuses on a single place and night: The attack on King’s Landing by Stannis and its defense…
Here on the eve of battle, things are moving fast. Ten hours can hardly retell 1040 pages, so this episode packs in a lot of story in a very rapid way.
The title of the episode refers to the return of Jaime Lannister, who after a five episode absence, is back with a vengeance. This is the section of the story, in the middle end, where things move very rapidly.
The upcoming Tim Burton remake reminded me that I wanted to rewatch the 1991 Dark Shadows revival. I saw some of it at release, but being a lover of all things vampire, felt it my duty to revisit…
“The Old Gods and the New.” As usual, plot lines twist and knot, but now the setup is mostly accomplished, and things move very rapidly here in the middle of the season. Plus we meet Ygritte!
If last week’s theme was torture, this week’s is revenge. This is a very solid episode that really moves everything along. In fact, we have most of the threads, if only briefly.
This week is pure tension and creep. Plus, lots of new developments. Torture seems a major theme of this episode. Things grow dark. Very dark. And I’m liking it.
Best episode of the season yet. Hard choices for all the characters. While the plot is great, it’s the strength of the human dynamics that really make this show so fun.
After suffering through the week, Sunday night, Game of Thrones, night arrives. After last week’s tease, we open with Arya (finally). And the pace of things start to heat up as we see pieces put in place last week, begin to move.
It is with great relish and anticipation that I sat down to devour the first episode of Season 2 of Game of Thrones — and it didn’t disappoint. This is an establishing segment where we rotate through the players and put into place who is where on the board.
HBO has released six 30 second clips from “The North Remembers” which is the first episode of season 2. Spoiler alert! And the show is only 2 days away. Woot! But maybe, like me, you can’t resist.
As we close in on Season 2, HBO has released more trailer goodness. This is one of the best yet, featuring all sorts of footage from the new season, and cut into a more comprehensible story arc.
