This is it. Our last season 6 episode before Game of Thrones – finally! – returns to our screens tomorrow night. “The Winds of Winter” is a more than worthy end to a (mostly) worthy sixth season, and even surpasses the drama, tension, and grandeur of episode nine, “Battle of the Bastards.” It begins with […]
Continue reading →A Battle for the ages, and the last of the Epic Nine’s. Welcome to all as we near the end of our stroll to kill time (along with a few Boltons and Wildlings and slave masters) before Season 7. A man’s name is Oz and I have been commissioned to guide you through what was […]

Quarreling with one’s identity is something I imagine we can all identify with, especially those who never felt quite right in their assigned bodies or roles; or those who suffered such physical or mental trauma they lost their […]

Continue reading →With only a week (!) to go until the premiere of Game of Thrones’ sure-to-be-epic seventh season, we revisit the explosive season 6 episode “Book of the Stranger.” Written by the dynamic duo David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, the episode was further elevated by Daniel Sackheim’s pristine directorial vision, and premiered May 15th, 2016. Featuring […]
Continue reading →Eight days remain until the premiere of season 7, and today in our Memory Lane, we’ve reached Oathbreaker. The episode sees the return of multiple Starks- Jon, Rickon and the late Ned in flashback- and the realization of the Tower of Joy, a scene that fans have waited twenty years to see. But of course, […]
Continue reading →Just nine days remain until the season premiere of Game of Thrones! Today in our walk down Memory Lane, we take a look at an episode packed with eagerly anticipated moments. The debut of Euron Greyjoy, a heartbreaking return to Winterfell for Bran, and the resurrection of Jon Snow all feature in “Home.” Taking on […]
Continue reading →Last year, as part of the GoT50 celebrations leading up to Game of Thrones season 6, the Watchers looked back on previous years’ episodes with a fresh eye, remembering the highs and lows and how the world reacted along with any significant points. All 50 episodes were covered, and we figured that we should continue […]
