Best Game of Thrones Episodes

After presenting our “Worst Game of Thrones” episode list, it is now time To unload the Best. SPOILERS… obviously? #13: Winter is Coming [s1 e1] It is vitally important for a series premiere to establish its characters, who they are, and what are their places in the world. The first scene in Winterfell particularly does this well; Ned Stark clearly portrays the stern noble lord of a father, and Robb is his oldest protégée. Jon’s the bastard black sheep who has (understandably) never gotten along well with his stepmother, Catelyn. Arya is the adventurous tomboy daughter who shoots better than

Diversity vs Tokenism in Historical Dramas – A Rant about Representation and Accuracy

This may be a touchy subject for some – undoubtedly one of the more controversial topics on this discussion forum – but as a film critic, nerd, history buff, and “woke white boy” all wrapped up into a nice opinionated bow: history needs to be told faithfully.

Worst Movie Duels

#5: The Viper vs The Mountain – Game of Thrones In its 4th season, of Game of Thrones introduced us to the charismatic, savvy, and sexy Oberyn Martell (aka “The Viper”) in a breakout performance by Mandalorian and Narcos star, Pedro Pascal.  At the same time, we get the return of Gregor Clegane (aka “The Mountain”), played this time by Iclandic bodybuilder demigod Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson, who at the time held the record of world’s strongest man. Everything was lining up well with this fight scene, with a small agile man with a poisoned spear against a massive hulk with

Top Movie Duels

#5: Spino vs Rex – Jurassic Park 3 I consider Animal fights to be fair game, so let’s start strong with our biological diversity pick: A grossly anatomically incorrect Spinosaurus and a near-equally mutated Tyrannosaurus Rex! The reason I have put this one on my list was because this scene shocked movie and Jurassic Park fans when it came out. For the previous century, moviegoers believed the T-Rex was the ultimate predator producible by nature. Now there are we know there are other carnivorous dinosaurs that were even bigger and scarier than T-Rex. #4 Batman vs Bane – The Dark

The Worst Game of Thrones Episode

It’s been over two years now, and it’s fairly modest to say people have had strong feelings about Game of Thrones’ ending. With HBO’s peddling spin-offs on the horizon and 10th-anniversary box sets in the present, I believe it is time to reflect honestly on this show. In our “worst” category, not all the episodes are necessarily “bad” all the way through. Even some of the worst episodes have good scenes that are simply undermined by some terrible moments and miserable writing decisions. #9: Sons of the Harpy [s5e4] – The Unceremonious Kill-Off It’s important to emphasize that there were

Worst “Epic” Battle Sequences in Film

#5: Rome, Season 2 – Make History, Not War Rome was one of HBO’s earlier attempts at high-production television – later paving the way for Game of Thrones and the “Golden Days of Television” as we know it today. However, with all science comes failure, and the unfortunate victims of their growing pains were the “action” scenes of their historical drama – as most of the budget is blown on the (exquisite) costumes and sets. While it was great to see a faithful depiction of Rome during Caesar’s rise, fall, and succession, we are also repeatedly built up to epic
