In previous posts, I’ve talked about the excellent Game of Thrones concept album SEVEN from the Manimals. The album features seven characters from Game of Thrones, giving them each a point-of-view song. It’s a delight. (The album. I’m sure my discussions about the songs are tolerable.) Full details can be found on my introductory post.

BrienneOath

This post will be talking about Good, a song from the perspective of the formidable fighter Brienne of Tarth.

In the previous two posts, I’ve talked about the excellent Game of Thrones concept album SEVEN from the Manimals, which features the point-of-view of seven characters from the series. You can be introduced to the full idea in my initial post, where I also talked about Daenerys Targaryen’s point-of-view song, Mother.

Cersei-Tyrion

This post will be talking about the tracks from SEVEN that correspond to Tyrion Lannister and his sister Cersei: Talk and Half. (Jaime didn’t get a song on SEVEN. But he’s kind of there with Cersei’s. Sort of.)

In my last post, I talked about the excellent Game of Thrones concept album SEVEN from the Manimals. The album is a collection of songs representing seven characters from Game of Thrones. The post not only described the concept in more detail but also featured a discussion of the song Mother, the point of view of Daenerys Targaryen.

Jon Snow: Now, I expect you to kill a lot of buttrash Lannisters with this.
Arya Stark: I’ll start making a list!

This post will be covering the tracks Teeth and Lone, which are representative of adorable murder-angel Arya Stark and Jon Snow, the young man who gave Arya her iconic instrument of death, Needle. (The best swords have names, yo.)

April 24th, 2016 was a big deal for me as a Game of Thrones fan. Not only was the show premiering its sixth season, but the Game of Thrones concept album SEVEN became available. Finally!

Finally! Seven Hells, it seems like forever!

Relax, this isn’t going to be one of my huge wall of text essays on the show.

Way back when, I wrote something about Netflix’s new series Daredevil. It had just started, I hadn’t seen much of it, so I talked a bit about Daredevil from the comics, how it was influential on other things I read, etc.

This post will be talking ever-so-briefly about Game of Thrones. If you don’t know who Ser Alliser Thorne is, or why he even needs to be defended, you’ll have no interest in this.

Okay! We cool kids can talk freely now.

This post will be my last Game of Thrones post before Season Six! IT’S ALMOST HERE! YES!

Okay, I’ll calm down now.

As I implied, this post will be about HBO’s excellent adaptation of A Song of Ice and Fire. If you’re not caught up, I will probably drop some spoilers.

Sansa-Tyrion2

Sansa: Spoilers are smelly. Like the swamp around Moat Cailin.
Tyrion: Did he say drop spoilers? I’d really rather he not say the word drop.

Season Six of Games of Thrones will be airing in a handful of days. Whew! (It bore repeating. That’s how excited I am.)

This post will be about the Night’s Watch, the monastic order of wardens who guard Westeros from whatever terrors dwell North of the Wall. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, you haven’t been watching Game of Thrones or haven’t read the book series the show is based on. You might as well stop reading now, since what follows will either be spoilery or won’t make all that much sense. I trust you’ll see yourself out.

Game of Thrones? That show’s ridiculous! Let me explain all of the show’s failings as we head out on our two-week-long patrol.

Now that Those People are gone, I can continue.

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.

Season 5 initiated a variety of changes in the political landscape of Westeros.
