Game of Thrones – House of the Dragon: Season 1/ Episode 1 “The Heirs of the Dragon” – Recap/ Review (with Spoilers)
“Game of Thrones” returns with a familiar family name, but with deepening the history comes both a familiar and fresh tale.
“Game of Thrones” returns with a familiar family name, but with deepening the history comes both a familiar and fresh tale.
Season 8 of Game of Thrones may contain lackluster ends for some fan favorites but ultimately reminds you the show never set out to consistently give fans what they wanted.
Game of Thrones’ finale isn’t bad, it’s just disappointing. Even when you consider some of the fan service and one devious character.
Daenerys gets her war against Cersei, and in the process, she comes off far more dangerous than the Night King and his army ever were.
Like many episodes of Game of Thrones, more time is spent on the build than combat. However, after what Cersei did… I just… I want her dead.
While nearly every major character lives (depending on how you define major), that doesn’t take away from how epic The Battle of Winterfell was.
The reunions continue as Jamie reunited with friends, families, and former foes before the white walkers attack.
It’s a large reunion episode which seemingly will precede the heartbreak you expect from Game of Thrones.
While there are no epic battles and only one significant death, the 7th season finale of Game of Thrones finds a way to make things business as usual in some areas and up the ante in others.
All I can say is, considering what happens this episode, I don’t think Daenerys nor Cersei will have time to battle for the Iron Throne. Especially with the Night King now having a trump card.
A slew of reunions come about and only three lead to smiling faces. The rest lead you to believe someone is going to die.
The Stark reunion is nearly complete and with growing closer to Daenerys comes Jon Snow having his first opportunity to influence her decisions. Leading to her making herself known to Jamie personally.
A long time coming reunion, another unfortunate death, and two of the biggest characters on the show coming face to face. We’re coming toward the end of the series and they are finding ways to up the ante. Leaving this fan to wonder, how epic could the series finale be?
As everyone tries to gather allies, we are reminded it is not the number of allies but the quality of generals and soldiers that win battles.
Game of Thrones remains perhaps the only show which can be more than 3 seasons in and still entertain its audience.
