Game of Thrones S6E4 “Book of the Stranger” Review: Everything’s Coming Up Stark!
Something good happened on Game of Thrones and I don’t know what to make of it. This week’s episode, “Book of the Stranger,” opens with the reunion of Jon Snow and Sansa Stark, which would be a bit more emotional had this not literally been their first interaction in the series. The eventual reunion of Arya and Jon will…
Game of Thrones S6E3 “Oathbreaker” Review – Great Conversations in Elegant Rooms
In some ways, “Oathbreaker” feels like the real start of Game of Thrones Season 6. We finally got the inevitable Jon Snow resurrection over with last week, and so now the series can move forward into new territory. With some other storylines, the show is still treading water, and “Oathbreaker” all in all is not nearly as significant an hour as last…
Game of Thrones S6E2 “Home” Review – He’s baaaaack!
Holy. Crap. This week’s episode of Game of Thrones blew me away. I was expecting good things from “Home,” but not an hour of television that delivered on virtually every level and that ranks up there with the series’ finest outings.

Game of Thrones “The Red Woman” Review: A subdued but mostly effective opening act
After 10 months of anticipation – or five years if you’re a book reader – Jon Snow is…still dead. It’s hard not to feel a little disappointed that Jon’s fate was not resolved in this premiere, and, in fact, “The Red Woman” is already being utterly trashed by some Game of Thrones fans. I think the issue…
PreGame of Thrones: Hopes and Predictions for Season 6 Episode 1, “The Red Woman”
I’m very excited for the Season 6 premiere of Game of Thrones, mostly so we can all stop writing articles about why Jon Snow is coming back to life. Let’s get this resurrection over with, shall we? Literally everyone knows it’s coming. Tonight’s episode is entitled “The Red Woman,” and the plot description is so ridiculously vague…
Ahsoka Tano receives an unsatisfying send-off on Star Wars: Rebels
Star Wars: Rebels’ season finale featured the exploration of Malachor, the return of Darth Maul, and a battle against three inquisitors, but for much of the fandom, the highlight was always going to be Ahsoka Tano. Formerly the young Padawan of Anakin Skywalker in The Clone Wars, Ahsoka made her return to the Star Wars universe early on in Rebels’ second season, and…
Frank and Claire make the terror in House of Cards’ Season 4 finale
House of Cards‘ generally excellent fourth season was nevertheless a bit unfocused and oddly paced, as if Beau Willimon was throwing all his remaining ideas at us before departing as showrunner. His first concept was a Frank vs. Claire civil war, which plays out the first four episodes, only to be interrupted by a shocking presidential assassination.…
