@GameofThrones: Kill the Boy (4/4)

After the 4 leaked episodes, there must have been quite some anticipation to see 5th episode after almost a month. I’m not talking about me, but people who watched all 4 episodes in one day, 4 weeks ago. Why & how will I do anything like that? Anyways…

This episode of Game of Thrones, was finally back in game. There were fire breathing dragons (and we learnt that dragons like their meals cooked - thanks to their fire breathing capabilities, its quick & easy!); greyscale afflicted stone men, fighting with Tyrion and Jorah, and getting Jorah afflicted too (yep, it happened, Jorah is dead soon); Ramsay still being a creep and douche to Sansa and others too (he’s kinda turning into Joffrey, hopefully we don’t have to bear him through 4 seasons); and Jon finally killing the boy aka his mopey self, and finally being a MAN!

All the performances are good as usual. Jon snows interaction with Maester Aemon, or others at Night s Watch, is interesting. He’s becoming a true leader, but a leader even his own friends do not like. Daenerys is taking more bold decisions now, and from almost killing the tribe leaders to marrying one, she’s going “crazy” again. Also this episode was truly a visual treat. The dragons’ scene was beautiful, and fierce. But the best were the views of the ruins of Valeria. Quite surreal, with Drogon flying over, and Tyrion seeing a dragon for first time with his eyes and mouth wide open in surprise (isn’t Peter Dinklage just awesome!), makes the scene even more spectacular.

We’re still waiting to see what happens to Arya Stark, who wasn’t in this episode at all, after spending few episodes in Braavos. There were also no sightings of Kings Landing, which keeps us wondering what’ll happen to Ser Loras and Margaery Tyrell. Sand Snakes are still looking to destroy Jaime and the Lannisters. Lets’ see what happens there… So, there’s a lot brewing and let’s see what the rest of the 5 episodes of Game of Thrones bring for us. Until then… Valar Dohaeris!

Binge watching of "Game of Thrones" (4/4)

Season 5 of Game of Thrones is starting next Sunday. I know I have been late on the bus, but I finally finished my BINGE watching of this amazing show, and I have to say, it's just AWESOME. If you're fan of fantasy, drama, adventure, action or just plain TV watching, this is the show for you! 

It's a show about too many things. Lots of story-lines & plots intertwined in each other but beautifully executed. It is an adaptation of A Song of Ice and Fire, George R. R. Martin's series of fantasy novels. HBO has the brilliant show-runners David Benioff and D. B. Weiss, running the show and they do an amazing job of it. The cast is one of the best on TV today, the production value is truly cinematic and the experience is mind-blowing.

Among the ensemble cast, Peter Dinklage has won an Emmy and a Golden Globe for his performance as Tyrion Lannister. And he truly deserves it. He is funny, he's fierce, he's strong, he's harsh, he's pathetic, he's kind, he's lovable; all at the same time. Few of my other favorite characters are Lord Varys, Peter Baylish, The Hound, Jaime Lannister, Margery Tyrell & her grandmother, Sam, Ser Jorah, Ser Davos amongst many others. Not my favorite characters but some amazing performances in the characters of Cersei Lannister, King Joffrey, Theon/Reek, Ramsay Snow, Catelyn Stark, Khal Drogo. The show is filled with amazing actors and great performances.

There has been 4 seasons and 40 episodes of the show already, so there's not much to tell, except to watch it. And it's a delight for binge watching. Yes, 40 hrs of Binge watching, or split it it in few days or weeks, like I did (it took me almost 4 weeks). And by the time you finish it, you may be caught up to catch up on current season. That would mean you're not left behind and part of the world where every true TV lover has seen Game of Thrones!
