Up on the Watchers on the Wall site, I have a post talking about Ser Jorah Mormont.
You know, that Westerosi knight who has not only survived greyscale but lived longer than any of Daenerys Targaryen’s husbands. (Okay, on the show Dany and Hizdahr zo Loraq never got married, but I’m counting that anyway.)
This post will be referencing some plot points from the most recent season of Game of Thrones. If you’re not caught up, you’re on your own should you continue to read.
Lord Randyll: That spoiler warning seems a tad over-wrought for my taste. In my day, we’d brave one hundred spoilers before breakfast. My son Sam, on the other hand, would eat one hundred breakfasts. And not brave anything.
Midway through the sixth season of Game of Thrones, viewers met with the cold and forbidding Randyll Tarly, Sam Tarly’s father.
Based on the climactic events at the end of Season Seven of Game of Thrones (if you’re reading this, I assume you know what happened) it seemed a good time to talk about the White Walkers, and what might be motivating them.
But you won’t find my thoughts here. I’ve posted them on the Watchers on the Wall website. Like I sometimes do.
As I sometimes do, I have a feature article on the Watchers on the Wall site, talking about Game of Thrones.
I’ll be talking about Littlefinger, the scheming mastermind, but also about Catelyn Stark, not only as the reason for him kicking off his ambitious plans, but also for the end of them. Feel free to check it out.
Hey, I have a new feature article on Watchers on the Wall, talking about Beyond the Wall, the most recent episode of Game of Thrones.
It was a somewhat divisive episode from a critical standpoint, but I found all the action and character moments compelling.
Up on the Watchers on the Wall website, I recently posted a feature discussing Daenerys Targaryen, and how her invasion of Westeros might not be the best thing for the defense of the Seven Kingdoms in the looming war against the White Walkers.
No, I’m not currently being paid by the Cersei Lannister administration to build a case against the Mother of Dragons.
Look you guys, I got REALLY excited when Theon Greyjoy and Jon Snow were face-to-face, something that hadn’t happened since the very first season of Game of Thrones. (It’s possible the only scenes they’d shared were in episode 1?)
I got so excited, that even though I wasn’t really planning on keeping up with my usual blogging schedule, I wrote something up about their reunion for the Watchers on the Wall website.
Up on the Watchers on the Wall site is a new post from me, talking about Sansa Stark.
I’m occasionally a vocal member of the Sansa Stark Defense Squad, since she tends to be viewed in the most negative light possible at times. My latest post is along those lines.
Hey everyone, the Watchers on the Wall website accepted another feature article from me, discussing some of the events from the recent episode of Game of Thrones in a historical context. By historical, I mean from the show’s own history.
Yup, Game of Thrones is such a big story, we’re seeing its history repeat itself. Maybe?
Game of Thrones is back on the air, which is when I usually take a break from blogging about the show and just settle in to watch it. But it’s really hard to not write about all of the thoughts I’m having.
Instead of breaking my no-blogging rule (I’m clearly bending that rule now), I wrote a short article about Daenerys Targaryen for the Watchers on the Wall website, where I reflect on Daenerys as she contemplates her next moves from the island fortress of Dragonstone.
Will she follow in the footsteps of the first Targaryen king, her ancestor Aegon the Conqueror? Or is she destined to track along the same path as the previous wannabe-monarch who lived at Dragonstone, Stannis Baratheon?
I Can't Possibly Be Wrong All the Time
