Well, I’m back. It’s about four years since I last wrote a Game of Thrones episode review and about three years since I last watched the show… but I just can’t resist it. So here we go. Season 7. Previously on Game of Thrones… there is no previously, so I’m ...
As any long-time blog readers will know, I have an… interesting relationship with Game of Thrones. I became a big fan of the books, despite their flaws, for their complex character morality, and I really wanted the show to be amazing too. And sometimes it was. Often, it wasn’t. ...
