GAME OF THRONES S03E02 (TV Review)
“Dark Wings, Dark Words”

In my reviews of Game of Thrones, one of my touchstone phrases—which I’ve used so often you’re no doubt sick of it—is “cripples, bastards, and broken things.” It was the title of Episode Four of the first season, in which Tyrion expresses … Continue reading →

“A Man Without Honor”

“A Man Without Honor” is an interlude, of sorts, but it’s the kind of interlude that lends color and depth to this entire season of Game of Thrones. Continue reading →

GAME OF THRONES S02E02
“The Night Lands”

Game of Thrones does a remarkable job of uniting all the unwieldy subplots of each episode into a cohesive thematic whole. “The Night Lands” is largely about the role of women in this male-dominated world. Continue reading →

GAME OF THRONES S01E10
“Fire and Blood”

“Fire and Blood,” the 2011 finale of Game of Thrones, and the thrilling conclusion to one of the most extraordinary seasons of television ever produced, gives us a brutal dividing line between the prologue of history and an uncertain future. We begin in blood and we end in fire: both symbols of death, but also symbols of life, of rebirth, of purgation of everything that has come before. In Game of Thrones, as in life, the only certainty is change. Continue reading →

GAME OF THRONES S01E05
“The Wolf and the Lion”

Of all the shows on television that could feature a guy getting a knife through the eyeball, a bludgeoning dwarf, a breast-feeding 7-year-old, a spontaneous equine decapitation, and a discussion of the economics of cadaver fucking—all in the same episode—Game of Thrones has definitely become my favorite.
