I would do a clever little intro here, but THERE’S NO TIME. LET’S GO.

Game of Thrones
“The Winds of Winter”
June 26, 2016
The season finale was filled with everything we expected: R+L = J; the North uniting; Arya giving Walder Frey exactly what he deserved; Sam going to the Citadel; Cersei having a final showdown with the Faith Militant; Tommen fulfilling Cersei’s prophecy; Daenerys on her way to Westeros to take it back once and for all; and winter has FINALLY come, amirite, Ned Stark? And something I don’t think anyone predicted — Cersei taking the Iron Throne for herself. Girl, I need one of those black leather dresses.

“Blood of My Blood”
May 29, 2016
Oh, hey, George R.R. Martin, remember how you told your editor that Coldhands — the figure that helps Sam and Gilly escape, and who, in the books, helps Bran, Meera, Jojen and Hodor make their way to The Three-Eyed Raven’s cave — was not Benjen Stark? Because I remember you telling your editor he was not Benjen Stark. And I guess, technically, they could still be two separate characters in the book. But I’m guessing they won’t be.

“Book of the Stranger”

This episode had everything: reunions, good feels, romance, Sansa being a badass, death, FIRE!, fire boobs, dead misogynists, and hopefully the birth of what will be everyone’s new favorite ship: Torienne. Or Briemund? Which do you like better? I’m leaning toward Briemund, myself. BRIEMUND 4LYFE.

“The Red Woman”
April 24, 2016
So, I guess I’m going to recap Game of Thrones, y’all? This isn’t an easy decision for me. I love this series, and have read all the books, but I’m no supernerd when it comes to the Known World of A Song of Ice and Fire. It’s part of the reason that I avoided recapping this series until now: we’ve finally come to a place where the series has outpaced the books, and I can’t be harangued for getting something wrong from the text, or misremembering something. Another reason, I love the series so much, I want to do it justice and bring something interesting to the loud conversation already taking place about it, but worry that I will disappoint. And the other reason I avoided it was that my dear friend and former Tubular colleague, Andrew Dansby, has a history with the book series, and I was hoping against hope that he would take up his blogging duties once more. Alas, like Sansa, I’m beginning to realize that there is no white knight out there to save me, and I’m just going to have to take care of myself.
