Game of Thrones: The Winds of Winter – Drinking Game Edition!

I know what you’re thinking. “Gosh Halden! You’ve been writing about Game of Thrones as a job for two years and you have a large tattoo referencing the show on your leg. At this point, it’s not only a large part of your livelihood, but also your identity, isn’t it? So how are you going […]

Game of Thrones: Battle of the Bastards (Ss if we don’t know one isn’t!)

Whenever they show flashbacks to previous seasons during the teaser, I get nervous. We’re at the zenith of the season, y’all. And I for one am pumped. Welcome to HBO’s Game of Thrones. Mereen is under siege because Tyrion made a dumb choice. Dany and crew go to discuss surrender — not hers, mind you, […]

Game of Thrones: No One But Arya

HBO’s Game of Thrones asks us a question this week. What happens to someone who’s assassination is thwarted by their own would-be assassin? Well for the actress who Arya refused to kill, the answer is save your not-killer’s life. Arya, bleeding from stabs to the stomach after ditching the House of Black and White, stumbled […]

Game of Thrones: The Broken Men (but also women – why be sexist?)

Aww well ain’t that wholesome. Welcome back to HBO’s Game of Thrones, where THE BAE HAS RETURNED. And by the Bae I mean we open to seeing The Hound is doing good, clean, hard work, building a… well, I’m not sure what it is, but by the seven they sure are building it! Facial hair […]

Game of Thrones: Blood of My Blood-y Hell

After last week’s chilling plot reveals, I think we’re all waiting with baited breath to see what the heck will happen now on HBO’s Game of Thrones. This week we slam directly into Bran’s head as he experiences the omni-flashback. Without Hodor, poor Meera is left to lug Bran through the winter woods without any […]

Game of Thrones: The Doo(-mg)r

Well dang, Martin, been planning this one for a while, have you? On this week’s episode of Game of Thrones, Sansa gets a letter asking her to meet with Littlefinger in Moletown. Baelish is either stupid (doubtful) or conniving, as he plays dumb with Sansa regarding the Boltons. The writing is, frankly, wildly disappointing. Sansa […]

Game of Thrones: Book of The Stranger Than You

Welcome back to HBO’s Game of Thrones. This week I got a tattoo in honor of Arya (It’s a sword with “Not Today” written around it. It’s pretty cool. Yes, my parents are disappointed.) and I didn’t even see her! What gives? But this week we did get to see the reunions we’ve all been […]

Game of Thrones: O-(shit)-athbreaker

On this week’s episode of HBO’s Game of Thrones, I’m already stressed by the episode hints. Whenever they show stuff from old seasons as the teaser, I worry. We start off on FrankenJon. And Kit Herrington’s booty. Can’t complain about that I guess. Yes, surprising no one, Jon is back from the dead and freaking […]

Game of Thrones, Home Again Home Again Lickity Split

It’s good to see Bran again. We start off episode two of season six of Game of Thrones with a hella flashback. It’s Bran watching the memory of his father and brother, and the aunt he never knew, as children in Winterfell. It’s pretty sad when you think about it. Hodor is there, like a […]

Game of Thrones: The Red and Ready Woman

Yikes. Welcome back to HBO’s hit series, Game of Thrones. It’s a new season and I’m here to rant and ramble at you about it! Let’s get started. Zoom in on Jon Snow being all dead, wolves are suspiciously howling in the background. I’m just going to assume that they’re saying “Warg” in wolf. The […]
