Arya Stark is the character likely to experience the most reunions in the final season of Game of Thrones. She spent most of the show wandering around with one or two companions and then crossed the sea alone. Therefore she's been detached from most of the plot surrounding the battle for the Iron Throne. One… Continue reading Game of Thrones Reunions We Can’t Wait For: Arya and Gendry
Where Season One of Westworld focused on the allegory of the maze and the inward journey toward consciousness, Season Two kept its eyes on the horizon, escalating toward a showdown at the mysterious Valley Beyond. Who made it? Who didn’t? And the biggest question of all... how long do we have to wait for Season… Continue reading Westworld S2E10: Heaven Can Wait

But the… Continue reading Game of Thrones Reunions We Can’t Wait for: Jaime and Bran
Until now, Westworld has focused on the development of consciousness under the watchful eye of the hosts’ creators. We’ve seen the interactions between Dolores and Arnold where he takes a personal hand in guiding her toward self-discovery. Even the current uprising is hinted to be part of Ford’s “final narrative,” implying that the actions (or… Continue reading Westworld S2E8: A Flower Growing in the Darkness

As we enter the final season of Game of Thrones, we have two "villains" left: The Night King and Cersei Lannister. It's easy to hate Cersei. She's lied, cheated, and even killed in the process of remaining powerful. But was she always this way? There are some who say she was a liar from the… Continue reading Understanding Cersei
This season of Westworld keeps getting better and better. "Phase Space" returned us to the mysteries of networked minds and control cores, explored thematic parallels on motivation and perceived weakness and, in the final moment, provided confirmation of one of the season’s most talked-about theories. It’s all spoilers from here. Let’s get weird. From the… Continue reading Westworld S2E6: Cut to the Heart
