I have been feeling incredibly strange about not posting to this blog for the past week or two. Game of Thrones, season six has ended but I have been programmed over the last several months to create a weekly blog with smart insight or general observations about the show. As a result, over the last several days I have been attempting to envision...
After that season 6 finale of Game of Thrones, I have so many feelings and thoughts. For now, however, I would like to focus on the women. This episode proved that season 7 of Game of Thrones is going to be the "season of women." In the first six seasons we have largely been experiencing the universe through male power dynamics and attempts to...
This week's episode of Game of Thrones really pushed the Jon Snow/Daenerys Targaryen parallels by splitting this episode between them. GoT has set something of a precedent for containing large-scale battles to capsule episodes but this particular dual arc episode works really well in emphasizing the Ice and Fire parallel that is present throughout the series. That being said, I am really interested in looking,...
Let's talk about Arya...and the Waif. The internet has had a bit of time to express their excitement to see the Waif finally meet her end by Arya's hand. We're all glad the Waif is dead, but what we REALLY want is for Arya and the Hound to get the band back together #GameofThrones — michelle (@me_carter) June 15, 2016 Arya was badass....

Because my body...
First I must apologize to my loyal readers for the tardiness of this post. I spent the latter portion of the long/holiday weekend in a place that's technological amenities are not so far removed from the medieval-esque innovations of Westeros...My mother's house. Seriously....no internet...no cable. I have no idea how she entertains herself when I am not there to visit. But I have...
I am particularly fond of the Game of Thrones episodes in which we are treated to parody pieces of theater that depict recent Westrosi history. This episode is particularly interesting in that it serves as a twisted source of information for Arya Stark. Arya is finally afforded another chance to serve the Many Faced God when Jaqen H'ghar sends her on a mission to...
