This season of Game of Thrones is becoming better as it progresses. I enjoyed watching “Book of the Stranger,” even though some storylines are fast-paced. However, the plot lines are getting streamlined which is what people like me, book readers, want. Sincerely, I want Daenerys to be out of Mereen. This post will concentrate mainly on […]

What attracts me while writing down my notes is the type of execution that would be applied to those accused of practicing the black arts. It is different than the one detailed in the books: burning.

Episode 603, “Oathbreaker,” portrays how oaths are no longer considered indicators of reliability, honor, and loyalty at different levels. The episode ends with Jon Snow leaving the command of the Night’s Watch to Dolorous Edd. Is he an oathbreaker, a deserter? The brothers of the Watch swear to serve for a lifetime. Because Jon died, […]

I have mixed feelings in regards to Episode 602, “Home.” There are some fabulous scenes. However, some of them require more explanation. The viewer cannot assume that there are some events taking place off-screen. There are also inconsistencies in the actions and decisions of some characters. Overall, I enjoyed watching the episode, and I am […]
