Episode 22: The Furnace Flats Affair I enjoyed this episode, first of all because it was shot almost entirely on a soundstage: one of those giant MGM sound stages that has a panorama painted on the wall and then some … Continue reading →

Posted on June 8, 2019 by cobblerjon

From the time Daenerys (Emilia Clark) married Khal Drogo (Jason Momoa), I loved her and staunchly maintained that if they ever killed her off, I would never watch another episode. And they did, and I never will. Of course that’s … Continue reading →
