Now Our Watch Begins

The Bells

SPOILERS We’ve always been promised fire and blood, but not like this. While there are victories, the cost is too great for any of this to be triumphant. Some shots are so achingly gorgeous that the ugliness is made even more powerful. But the show tricked us. It made us look forward to the battles, […]

The Last of the Starks

SPOILERS! The icy fog has cleared. The dead will be burned and our characters have a moment to mourn before preparations for the next battle must begin.

April edition

We’re a quarter of the way through the year already?! That doesn’t seem right. It feels like just yesterday that I made a New Year’s resolution to stop shame-eating entire DiGiorno pizzas while crying through old episodes of “Golden Girls.” Well, maybe next year. Instead, I think I’ll put my effort into finding awesome and […]
