This post will be another examination of themes or elements from Game of Thrones, HBO’s long-running adaptation of George RR Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire. If you’re not caught up with the show, particularly if you don’t know who the White Walkers are, then this post might not be for you, should you one day want to enjoy the story unspoiled.
We’ve brought the ice. We’re all out of fire though. That’s cool.
Still here? Great!
This post will be talking about Ser Davos Seaworth, the excellent stalwart and stand-up guy from HBO’s Game of Thrones. Look, there are very few people in Game of Thrones that are as decent as this guy and still alive.
I’m glad to write about him. (Or am I? We’ll see.)
No need to butter me up, boy. I’m just an oldish bearded white guy. There are dozens and dozens of oldish bearded white guys on this show. One of us was bound to be decent.
Ser Davos the Onion Knight
Davos Seaworth is a noteworthy character in the Game of Thrones universe.
Yes, this post is coming on the US election day, but no, it’s not about the US elections. It’ll be political, but I’ll be talking about politics in Westeros, the continent of the Seven Kingdoms (often with a varying number of kings) in HBO’s excellent television series, Game of Thrones.
Time for the usual disclaimers: I’m not a political scholar, but if the current US election is any example, anyone can pretend to be a political expert. (Uh oh, I did say I wasn’t going to talk US politics… time to pivot hard…)
This post will be discussing Ed Harris’ character on HBO’s Westworld. If you’re not caught up with the show, this post will be spoiling details from the first five episodes. Fair warning.
Fair warning. That’s cute.
The Man With No Name
I mentioned in a previous post about Westworld, comparing it to LOST (like I am sure everyone has done) that before the season began, I’d assumed that Ed Harris would be stepping into the boots once filled by Yul Brynner. That Harris would be the analog for Brynner’s black-hatted robot gunslinger who would become the face of danger in the park, as the robotic denizens turned on the vacationing human guests.
This post will be talking about HBO’s science fiction drama Westworld, and will be talking about some spoilery speculations. If you’re not into theorizing about the show, I guarantee this will either be spoilery (if correct) or just irritating to you (if wrong.)
At the time of this post’s publishing, we’re halfway through the first season of Westworld, which has presented a plethora of mysteries to chew on. And chew on them people have, with intriguing observations and theories.
Seriously, if you’re not into possibly spoilery speculation, hop out of this post now.
Less than a week from Halloween! Now’s a good time to talk about a rather spooooooky character from Game of Thrones.
This post’s topic will be Ser Gregor Clegane. If you’re not up on the latest season of Game of Thrones, then you’re way behind. Get caught up! We’ll wait.
This post will be talking about HBO’s new drama Westworld, but I’ll also be talking about ABC’s LOST. (And possibly Mutant Enemy Productions’ excellent film Cabin in the Woods.)
If you’re not up to date on these properties then this post might not be for you. (Unless you don’t care about spoilers. I don’t judge.)
Last chance to eject, because I’ll not be shying away from talking about plot details of all of the properties I mentioned above.
This post will talk about Game of Thrones, HBO’s excellent adaptation of the unfinished A Song of Ice and Fire series by George RR Martin. I’ll focus on the sixth season of the show and in particular, the character of Sandor “the Hound” Clegane.
If you’re not caught up, do so! Forget I mentioned the Hound! And, uh, he probably died in Season Four!
The Hound: You know I”m a wanted man, right? Must you be telling everyone I’m still alive?
Me: YOU ARE? SPOILER!!!
The Hound: GRRRRRR…
Okay, now that I’ve misled everyone not-in-the-know, cleverly and indisputably, let’s begin.
The only good Balon Greyjoy is a dead Balon Greyjoy.
Okay, this post will be talking about Game of Thrones, HBO’s adaptation of George RR Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire. Specifically, I’ll be talking about Balon Greyjoy, the former King of the Iron Islands. I’m kind of glad he’s dead.
Bah!
Whoa! Usually I don’t drop spoilers about characters on Game of Thrones at the very top of the post. Yeah, yeah, I know. But there are some things that are hard to keep quiet about – and I’ve had to keep quiet about Balon’s demise for a very long time. Hopefully you’ll understand as I explain.
Balon Greyjoy Finally Meets Up with the Drowned God. FINALLY!
Who owns the North? The Umbers do, or so they allege.
It’s a Lease-to-Own arrangement!
This post will be talking in general about House Umber, one of the great northern houses in HBO’s Game of Thrones, and specifically about their large and hairy leader, the Smalljon.
He’s been quite a rascal. But I kind of get where he’s coming from.
I Can't Possibly Be Wrong All the Time
