They spent three seasons depicting how much of a clusterfuck it is to end slavery in a third-world country. They spent two seasons examining the allure and horror of life in a cult. They spent two seasons demonstrating the implications of a city without the separation of church and state. They spent a season and a…

I am so happy they did not squeeze Euron into this finale. The writers have time to develop him potentially an actual antagonist next season, which I am guessing was their plan all along. And with the passage of time and distance becoming (understandably) less of a concern for the show, I am glad they at least…

I'm sorry, but I TOTALLY bought Tyrion's faith in Daenerys. His speech and their scene in the Meereenese throne room may have been my favorite moment of the episode. Sure, the two may not have had a ton of actual screen time together, but does their relationship need to be based in such literal and direct…

I am really confused by this review. "It took almost no negotiating to unite Yara and Dany, and it took even less to bring the Martells and Tyrells into the fold. I’m thrilled for Yara and Olenna, at least, but I’d be a hell of a lot more thrilled if it hadn’t fallen into their laps." What more did you want? And what…

"Certainly it’s satisfying to watch women like Sansa assert themselves. It would be more satisfying if it didn’t feel so scripted." Have you thought that MAYBE it's not meant to be wholly satisfying? While this season has given the female characters a taste of justice after years of brutality and abuse, it is…

For a second, try to look at this episode and the show like it does develop the characters, okay? Ellaria hasn't done anything in Dorne since killing the prince for not doing anything: maybe that's because she doesn't know a thing about ruling a kingdom! Arya goes straight to the Twins upon returning to Westeros:…

Did you really think the episode would have benefitted from a greater exploration of Lady Olenna's grief? As much as I love every second Diana Rigg is on screen chewing scenery, she is not a Stark, she's not a Lannister, and she's not a Targaryen. Seriously, what I think needs to be recognized is that while Game of…

I agree that both "Face Off" and "Baelor" are absolutely phenomenal for their moments, but as whole episodes, I'll still contend that "Ozymandias" and "The Winds of Winter" are the best and most cinematic pieces to ever hit the small screen.
