Now that’s what I call a time skip… I’m just going to address the elephant in the room straight ahead – yes, they changed the ending. Except they didn’t, really. But they did. Manga readers will know what I mean. Anime-only viewers – did you understand that ending? Did it make […] Read more
“What is Dead May Never Die” For my money, this was the best episode of Game of Thrones so far this season. It was beautifully paced, tight as a drum and full of memorable scenes both new and note-faithful to the book. The changes that were made didn’t feel so […] Read more
