Must Watch Summer TV Shows

Derek

Summer time is almost here and you know what that means: lots of sitting on the couch in front of the boob tube (with a tall glass of lemonade) catching all of the cool new and returning shows that the networks are going to be putting out during the humid months! The outside is full of cancer causing sunshine and malicious bugs out to give you lyme disease…stay inside where its safe under the warm glow of the television. Now click onward to see which shows I will be setting my DVR to record this summer.

The Internet Is Dark And Full Of Terrors

Derek

Truer words have never spoken and those words ring very true especially once you feast your eyes on Reddit user CarlosDanger100’s little project, CAGE OF THRONES, where he has PhotoShopped noted thespian Nicolas Cage’s face onto cast members from GAME OF THRONES. Some of them are hysterically bad, some of them are just hysterical (Cage as Ramsey holding a sausage), some are pretty freaking unnerving (Cage as Sansa will give me nightmares for months) and some really work (Cage’s Stannis looks great). Take a look after the cut.

Trailer of the Day: Game of Thrones Season 5

Derek

This upcoming season looks to be an extremely violent one even by GAME OF THRONES already brutal standards. But on top of the rampant killing we also are getting the Sand Snakes, Stannis’ taking of the North, Dany making strides to claim the Iron Throne and Tyrion actually meets the friggin’ dragons! April 12th can’t get here soon enough.

Game of Thrones Season 4 Scene of the Week: Not Tywin…Anyone But Tywin

Derek

The fourth season finale of GAME OF THRONES had a ton of amazing moments from Harryhausen-esque animated skeletons to Stannis riding to the rescue beyond The Wall to the epic battle between The Hound and Brienne…it was just an incredible episode of television. But nothing stood out more to me than the scene(s) where Tyrion exacted his revenge upon two of those who have wronged him the most gravely.

Game of Thrones Season 4 Scene of the Week: Giants on Mammoths!!!!!

Derek
Oliver "Olly" Queen?
Oliver “Olly” Queen?

There really isn’t much to explain about “Watchers On The Wall” except to say it was a big ass episode long battle reminiscent of the “Blackwater” episode from Season Two. And with that in mind I figured the best way to recap this ep was visually.

Michiel Huisman Is Determined To Ruin TV For Me

Derek

Have you ever been watching a TV show that you really liked yet there was just one character that you really hated with a passion played by an actor who just annoyed you completely and you wished he were not a part of the show? Well imagine if that actor were to bring the same acting style you absolutely loathe to show after show that you enjoy? Would you feel like there was a conspiracy going on to ruin TV for you specifically? Well, if so you would be a paranoid nutcase but never let it be said that I considered myself to be 100% sane because I think Michiel Huisman is out to destroy my enjoyment of TV by constantly popping up on shows I like.

Game of Thrones Season 4 Scene of the Week: Fly Lysa Fly

Derek

mockingbird05
A good deal of stuff went down on this episode of GoT, titled “Mockingbird”, not the least of which is Arya adding to her body count while bonding with The Hound; The return of Hot Pie who helps point Brienne and Podrick in the right direction for finding the Stark sisters; The Mountain being awful; Dany bumping uglies with the flea market version of Daario; and Tyrion losing hope of having a champion for his trial by combat then getting a new champion in the form of Oberyn. But the scene that stood out the most to me happened at The Vale and featured the man whose personal sigil was the title of this episode: Petyr “Littlefinger” Baelish.

Game of Thrones Season 4 Scene of the Week: Hodor Smash!

Derek

Don’t make Hodor angry. You wouldn’t like Hodor when he’s angry. Especially not if he is under the mental control of an angry crippled kid whose entire existence has been yanked away from him.

Game of Thrones Season 4 Scene of the Week: What The Heck Was That?

Derek

gotoath2
For the past 3 and some odd seasons of GAME OF THRONES there has been a subset of the George R.R. Martin books fandom who have taken to acting like smug asshats who wear their readership of the books ass a badge of honor that makes them better than the sad sacks who have only watched the TV show. They also love to go to anyplace that show watchers gather and drop spoilers all willy nilly…well, now those folks know how show watchers feel.

Game of Thrones Season 4 Scene of the Week: What Makes A Good King?

Derek

tytom01
For what was supposed to be a “catch your breath” episode after the glorious death of King Joffrey last week, Breaker of Chains providd some meaty moments. From Dany rolling into Mereen like she owned the place to Arya and The Hound rolling a poor single father for his cash to The Wildlings ransacking villages to Stannis’ Secret Small Council of Shireen & Davos coming up with an idea to get funding for their king to Littlefinger making his move. And I am not even going to touch that Jaime/Cersei scene with a ten foot pole. My favorite scene was the beginning of Tywin spending some quality time with his new favorite family member.

The Prime Suspects In The Righteous Regicide of Joffrey Baratheon

Derek

joffchoke
OK…enough time has passed and everyone with an Internet connection now knows that the evil boy-king Joffrey Baratheon was killed on this past Sunday’s episode of GAME OF THRONES. Now all attention turns to just whodunnit? Like any good murder mystery there are a ton of suspects so I have gone thorough the list to see who had cause to see Joff dead and the likelihood that they would actually do it. This is an adaptation so it’s quite possible Benioff & Weiss could throw us a curveball and change the identity of the culprit for the TV show which would be kinda cool.
