Landing in Florida As the plane circled Orlando, I had a feeling that I was flying over a gigantic golf course. Orlando is not just the city of theme parks, it is a theme park. Well manicured gardens, little ponds, white roads, and clearly outlined neighborhoods, it appears very pretty from the top. This appeared to be a very promising beginning to our seven day trip to Florida. Stepping out of the airport, it was…
Last night marked the end of the greatest TV show of the decade. As the ashes of the last episode settle around us, fans all over social media are exploding into reactions ranging from extreme sadness to extreme rage. No matter what part of the emotional spectrum you are on, it’s unlikely you were untouched. Game of Thrones has been controversial from the very beginning – for its rejection of the hero trope, for its…
Last night’s episode is now the lowest ranked episode in the history of Game of Thrones, considered even worse than the Season 5 disaster Unbowed, Unbend, Unbroken and for the first time in this entire season, I disagree. It wasn’t the best episode, but it wasn’t the worst. There was a multitude of logical lapses but it took the show to a definite direction of a conclusion. ‘The Bells’ starts with the completely justified execution…

With “The Last of the Starks’ GOT returns to what it does best–palace intrigue and human conflict. In terms of sheer plot development, this was probably the most fruitful episode of the season and a lot of stuff happened. The episode opens with the burning of the many bodies that fell at Winterfell, quickly followed up by what seems like a tone-deaf celebration. Half-baked plans are laid to take over the south and are predictably…
What an episode! Ninety minutes of relentless gore, bloodshed, and action. My heart was still racing when it was all over! However, once the haze of the battle settled, and the sun was up, I couldn’t help feeling ‘WTF’? This is one of those episodes that you absolutely loved while watching, but afterward you are left wondering; what was it all for? < Major episode spoilers ahead…> The Battle For Winterfell As a cinematic spectacle,…
Titled ‘A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms’ or as I am calling it ‘The Long Goodbye‘, Ep 2 of the final season of GOT is another slow paced, character-heavy episode where a lot of time is spent ruminating death. I was on the fence on this one up until the moment Podrick started singing ‘Jenny’s Song’ and this show went full LOTR on us. Looking back this episode might just make it up there as…
