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.
HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY! I usually only post Game of Thrones-related materials mid-week, but I’m clearly making an exception. Oh, and this post will be spoilery for Season 4 and Season 5 Game of Thrones. You’ve been warned.
Spoilery? Nothing spoils north of the Wall. It’s too cold.
I thought it’d be nice to reminisce about Jon Snow’s first love, his true love, Ygritte the Wildling.
This post will be mentioning plot points from Game of Thrones (with the sixth season of the show looming, looming closer.) So if you’re not up-to-date on the show, this is your spoiler warning.
Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, and even though at this time last year I mostly pointed out that romance is dead in the Seven Kingdoms, I thought it’d be okay to talk about a romance that’s not happening on the show. Since the two characters:
But Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen would make such a cute couple! Y’know, he’s all ice, she’s all fire. It’d be like poetry. Or a song.
This post will be discussing various royal characters in the HBO show Game of Thrones. How spoilery could this post be? Probably very. If you are behind on your show watching, let me first call you a clown, and then request that you watch the show and come back.
Yes. Do go watch me win.
Game of Thrones takes place primarily in the Seven Kingdoms, where in the show’s early seasons various kings contested for the Iron Throne (while other kings attempted to secede from the multi-kingdom hegemony.) I’ve already talked about those dudes, how few of them bothered to accessorize with crowns, and how most died.
Kings are kind of cool to talk about, I guess, but I don’t want to ignore the many queens in Westeros, who engage in their own power plays.
I Can't Possibly Be Wrong All the Time
