Game of Thrones S2E10: “Valar Morghulis”- Joe’s Rating~”A” I can officially say that Game of Thrones is probably going to follow the same pattern next year as it did this season and the one before. Not to say that’s bad (if it aint broke…) but predictability in a show (and series) that prides itself on Read More >>

Game of Thrones S2E9: “Blackwater”- Joe’s Rating~”A” Blackwater, it conjures images of the inky darkness of the primeval depths. It’s suffocating and swallowing. It represents death. The second season has been building to this moment. This is supposed to be the moment Joffrey gets what’s coming to him. And we open on the armada of Read More >>

Game of Thrones S2E6: “The Prince of Winterfell”- Joe’s Rating~”C-” Oh hey, there’s Jon and Ygritte, I wonder if she’ll make some jokes about Jon masturbating? Probably, but before then we meet a lieutenant in the ranks of Mance Rayder by the name of Rattleshirt. It seems the Wildlings took Qhoren and the other rangers Read More >>

Someday in the future I’ll be Read More >>

Game of Thrones S2E6: “The Old Gods and the New”- Joe’s Rating~”A” Winterfell has fallen, it seems Theon’s gamble of taking Torrhen’s Square has paid off.

I’m not going to grade this week’s episode, because I’d rather wait to see how “Brave New World” plays out. And there was a lot this week that raised some interesting questions (and a few not so interesting ones) that should give us a lot to chew on over the summer. By the end of Read More >>

Game of Thrones S2E5: “The Ghost of Harrenhal”- Joe’s Rating~”B” After the great vagina baby of last week, we return to Renly’s camp to see him and Catelyn coming to agreement. Oh but the smoke vagina baby has other things in mind as it kills off Renly making there one less king in the kingdom. Read More >>
