When my friend and personal trainer, Missy told that she is finally watching Game of Thrones ( you know, after the rest of the world has moved on), I really wanted to understand her experience. And she was kind enough to do a guest post about it! —————————————————————————————————————————- I really thought I was the only person on the planet who had never watched Game of Thrones, until I posted on Facebook. Apparently there are a…

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.

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…
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…
‘Winterfell’ marks the beginning of the end of the journey that Games of Thrones has been for millions of viewers worldwide. The wait for the first episode for the final season has been long, painful and highly anticipated – its been over 2 years since Seven 7 aired and left everyone hanging for the fate of this imaginary world. At the end of Season 7, all the players are in Westeros with the Night…
