Arya Stark Really Was the “Princess Who Was Promised”
If you're like me, you were probably surprised when Arya Stark came flying through the air to kill the Night King in the episode "The Long Night". After all, a lot of attention had been paid to the entire "prince (or princess) who was promised" prophecy that Melisandre had been spouting from season 2. Most… Continue reading Arya Stark Really Was the “Princess Who Was Promised”
We May Never See the End of A Song of Ice and Fire
Plenty of people were disappointed, sad, and some even downright angry at the end of the Game of Thrones television series. A common statement both from and toward those people is to wait for the ending George R.R. Martin chooses to deliver in his books.

The eighth and final season of Game of Thrones premieres this Sunday, April 14. There are tons of predictions flying around, here are mine.

Bastards and Trueborns
In Game of Thrones, the legitimacy of one's birth defines a good portion of their life, but the last season showed us that our understanding of who is trueborn isn't always as we thought. We learned that Jon Snow is not only not Ned Stark's son, he's also not a bastard. But I'm pretty sure… Continue reading Bastards and Trueborns
