Tribute to Arya Stark

A Girl is Arya Stark of Winterfell. And I am Going Home [Season 6 Ep 08] Story of A Lonely Girl: The most beautiful, tragically sad video tribute to Arya and her journey from Season 1 until Season 4. If you don’t get a lump in your throat and shed a tear or two, you…

The Dornish Effect

Ellaria Sand was a cool chick. Stylish, elegant, quick-witted and frank, everyone liked Ellaria. Well, everyone except Cersei. That was in Season 4, which by the way seems an awfully long time ago. Then she went back to Dorne, got a haircut and mutated into Super Bitch #1, possibly ousting Cersei from that dubious honour….

One Elephant is Killed Every 15 Minutes

Join the Movement. Help Save the Elephants. The Illegal Ivory Trade claims 36,000 elephants every year. That’s one every 15 minutes. At this rate none will be roaming in the wild in 2025. The price of Ivory has never been higher. It’s now more worth more than gold. Anyone who buys Ivory has blood on…

Game of Thrones S06: Daenerys Prisoner

A recent article on WinterIsComing.net entitled “What new image from Game of Thrones Season 6 intrigued fans most?” got me thinking. A captured Queen in a Dothraki tribunal was not what I expected.

Summer’s Child

We licked the salt, encrusted like sea snow, teeny tiny barnacles on our arms, ears, mouth, eyes. It tasted so good. Fearless sea creatures,…

To Snow or Not To Snow

Kit Harington loves to rain on my parade. After months of silence, sightings in Belfast and the Season 6 shoot, he still says he’s dead. Jon Snow is dead, gone to the dawgs, kicked the bucket. Death however is an abstract concept on Game of Thrones. People come back, faces get recycled, bodies are ‘Frankenstein-ed’…

Game of Thrones: 5 Predictions

For the first time, GRR Martin book readers find themselves at an unprecedented disadvantage. They share the same “You Know Nothing” boat with humble mortals who only watch the TV show. The author, show runners, cast and crew are in the know. But they’re not telling. The rest of us are wandering around in the…
