I stayed at home for the weekend to watch the Season Finale of Outlander. I enjoyed watching it, even though my husband does not agree with me (he said it was a boring episode). One of the reasons why I liked Episode 213 is that it portrays the notion that the past and the present are […]
Continue readingTime Traveling in Game of Thrones and Outlander
Time-traveling in both Outlander and Game of Thrones has been in my head for the last few weeks. Until recently, only Outlander exhibited time-traveling as one of its fantasy elements. However, a recent episode of Game of Thrones, Episode 605 – “The Door,” revealed that greenseers are capable of some time-travelling. If you are not […]

Episode 610, “The Winds of Winter,” was a great watch. First, there are three new monarchs now, and one cannot deny the possibility of a fourth one, Euron Greyjoy. Furthermore, the episode reveals the confirmation of the most popular theory of A Song of Ice and Fire: R+L=J (Rhaegar + Lyanna = Jon). At King’s […]
Continue readingOutlander TV: Poetic Justice in Episode 211 – “Vengeance is Mine”
Poetic justice seems to be the norm in the last episodes of both Outlander and Game of Thrones. Sincerely, my whole expression became euphoric while watching both episodes to the point that my husband had to hold my hand to calm me down a little bit. I also apologize for my late post since I […]

Two key features of episode 609 are the carnage resulting from the battle scenes, especially the one for Winterfell, and the portrayal of strong women desiring not only power or revenge but also their opinions to be considered. The episode opens with Tyrion trying to explain the conditions in which the city of Mereen is. […]

Many works of fiction do not reveal much about villains. For instance, readers of A Song of Ice and Fire, do not know much about Jaime and Cersei Lannister until the third and fourth books of the series. I did not like Jaime at all for the first two books. However, I enjoyed reading his […]
