Game of Thrones, episode eight
I can’t believe there are only two episodes left in the season! It’s been a while since I read the books, but there’s still a lot of ground to cover (at least the way I remember it) before we can … Continue reading
Recommended: Trey Shiel’s THE DREAD HAMMER
Trey Shiel’s is the fantasy pen name of science fiction writer Linda Nagata, who’s written a number of very good and highly regarded novels and short stories. The Dread Hammer is her first work of fantasy, and I was fortunate … Continue reading
GAME OF THRONES episode five
In which the poo strikes the spinning blades with great velocity. God, this was a good episode. Nearly every conversation dripped with threats and malice, ratcheting up the suspense. I’m glad they focused on King’s Landing and skipped Jon on … Continue reading

Opening credits for GAME OF THRONES
One of the best opening credits sequences ever put to film. Inspired, gorgeous, and useful to boot! For those who haven’t seen the show, this is what you are seeing: It is an aerial view of Westeros, the imaginary continent … Continue reading
GAME OF THRONES episode two
The second episode of GAME OF THRONES is out, and it builds on and expands our introduction to Westeros from the first episode. I’m not going to do a blow-by-blow recap of the show. If you’re reading this, presumably you’re … Continue reading
My thoughts on GAME OF THRONES
HBO’s lavish production of George R.R. Martin’s Game of Thrones lived up to my expectations in almost every regard. Martin’s fantasy world of Westeros is dense with characters and history, and I was curious how this was going to play … Continue reading
