This post will be talking about Game of Thrones, HBO’s excellent fantasy series. We’re only weeks away from Season Six starting up, so if you’re not caught up, please stop reading and start binge-ing the episodes. I don’t want to spoil you. I know spoilers make people cranky.
SPOILERS!!!!!!!
Season 5 initiated a variety of changes in the political landscape of Westeros.
As the title suggests, this post will be talking about Game of Thrones. I’m going to assume that you’re all up to date on the series, which will be kicking off Season Six in a few weeks.
If you’re not caught up… I predict this post will contain spoilers.
Young Cersei: If you don’t stop singing “we’re off to see the wizard” – I predict that something terribly unfortunate will happen to you.
Prophecies are often an element in fantasy stories. It’s almost expected that someone is driving the action, either by trying to fulfill their destiny or by desperately trying to avoid their fate.
This post will be talking about Game of Thrones, and if you’re behind on the show and consider knowing who lives and who dies as spoilery info, this will not be the post for you.
The second episode of Game of Thrones, the Kingsroad, is particularly poignant on rewatches. This was the last episode all of the Starks were in one place. The partings were very rough.
This post will be talking about one of the great noble houses of Westeros, in HBO’s Game of Thrones (the adaptation of A Song of Ice and Fire.) And not just any noble house, I’ll be talking about the beleaguered and bullied Stark family.
It all goes downhill from here…
I don’t know how super-spoilery this post will be, most of what I’ll be talking about is years-old information. It’s your call to keep reading, if you’re behind on the show or the books.
This post (as the title suggests) will be talking generally about Game of Thrones and the people of the kingdom of the Iron Isles specifically. The Ironborn were largely absent from the show during season 5, so if you’re at least caught up with season 4 then this post still shouldn’t be all that spoilery.
We do not spoil. Because we’re all driftwood and salt.
Although I could be lying. It’s your choice to trust me or not.
HBO recently released a trailer for the upcoming sixth season of Game of Thrones. There are a million trailer breakdowns and analyses already available, but I’ve already written and scheduled all of the Game of Thrones blog posts I was planning on writing leading up to season 6, but I didn’t want to miss out on talking about the trailer. (I just wasn’t going to kill myself getting all the screen caps and so on, immediately – I have a day job… and a family… anyway…)
What follows will be a non-spoilery analysis. By that I mean, I’ll be showing each scene from the trailer and making some observations based on the content of the frame. I’ve read the books, so I also have provided a SPOILERY analysis on my secret double-probation backup blog where I am more free with book spoilers and speculation.
This post will be talking about Game of Thrones, HBO’s excellent adaptation of A Song of Ice and Fire, the epic (and as yet unfinished) story from George RR Martin.
I’ll be focusing on the disgraced ex-Maester Qyburn, who is a creepy guy in general. Spoilers ahead.
Spoilers? Hah! Spoilers are only feared by the ignorant and uneducated.
Defense? You are defending Qyburn? What? (Wait. Qyburn is who again?)
I’ll get into the defense in a moment, but first I’ll provide a quick recap of who this Qyburn guy is.
This post will be talking about House Frey, from Game of Thrones. If you’ve never read the books or seen the show… House Frey is a minor noble house that’s headed up by the old and crabby Lord Walder Frey. That’s it. Nothing else to see in this post.
Go read the books, or watch the show.
Go on now. Shoo!
Yes. Shouldn’t you be in your Potions Class, and not loitering in my hall, reading blogs? I’ve a mind to tell Professor Snape about this…
Whew. The last thing I want to do is spoil anyone about the Freys.
This post will be talking about plot elements from the fifth season of HBO’s excellent Game of Thrones, an adaptation of George RR Martin’s epic A Song of Ice and Fire. It’s possible that someone not caught up with the show has stumbled across this blog. Hi!
I hate to scare you away, but I’d hate even more to spoil you on any of the details.
High Sparrow: I assume you’re familiar with the holy text of the Faith, the Seven Pointed Star?
Lady Olenna: I keep putting it down. Too much sex and violence for my taste. But don’t spoil me on the ending, I might finish it one day.
High Sparrow: Just don’t get too attached to any of the characters.
Now that I know you’re reading this properly informed, I can continue.
This post will be talking about Game of Thrones, HBO’s excellent adaptation of George RR Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire.
Specifically, I’ll be talking about the exiled knight Ser Jorah “At Least I Didn’t Take Dad’s Sword” Mormont. So if you’re not current with the show, this post will be spoilery.
I used to protect the Khaleesi from spoilers. We’re talking about poisoners, right?
Ser Jorah has had his ups and downs throughout the seasons of the show, but he’s always been kind of a favorite secondary character of mine.
But not everyone shares my affection for Ser Jorah.
I Can't Possibly Be Wrong All the Time
