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 S01E04
"Cripples, Bastards, and Broken Things"

"Cripples, Bastards, and Broken Things" is a relatively uneventful episode—it's weighted with exposition, and busy positioning everyone for the midgame—but it's also, thematically, the strongest entry so far. Its mission statement is summed up in that title: in such a heavily structured society, with a strong clan mentality, what happens to the outcasts, the cast-offs, the people who just don't fit?
