Game of Thrones is over, and we miss it already. Plowing through every one of its 73 episodes again would be a massive undertaking, so we put together a list of our favorites. Think of this like a Game of Thrones playlist. It’s a guide to the best episodes from every season, each of which is worth rewatching — and many of which look different after the finale. Winter Is Coming SEASON 1, EPISODE 1 The episode that started it all, “Winter Is Coming,” is a neat encapsulation of everything we love about Game of Thrones. With Eddard Stark at the pilot’s center, the series’ focus on the way characters’ family codes affect their personal morals (and vice versa) is clearly laid out, as Ned takes his children to watch an execution for desertion — which he carries out — and the Lannisters demonstrate just how much power their wealth buys them. Wheels are also set in motion as Ned is appointed Hand of the King, and his wife Catelyn … [Read more...] about The best Game of Thrones episodes

13 key episodes of Game of Thrones to rewatch before the finale
After 72 episodes and hundreds of names, characters, and significant events, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the scope of Game of Thrones. But as the show heads into the series finale, it’s worth taking a look back at important moments that continue to shade Daenerys, Jon Snow, Tyrion, and the Stark children. While we don’t know exactly what the finale of the series will hold, the penultimate episode, “The Bells,” pushes us towards a significant destination. We know the choices the characters will have to confront — a major being who should take the Iron Throne — and in turn, which episodes are probably worth rewatching to understand those choices on a deeper level. If want to catch all of the references creators D.B. Weiss and David Benioff may weave into their final hour-and-20-minute episode, and understand the motivations driving the last grab for power, here are 13 episodes of Game of Thrones to check out before the finale. Season 1, … [Read more...] about 13 key episodes of Game of Thrones to rewatch before the finale
11 killer details you might have missed from the first Killing Eve season 2 trailer
BBC America just debuted the first trailer for Killing Eve season 2, teasing new locations, a mystery character and an intriguing, evolving, dynamic between MI5 security official Eve Polastri and assassin Villanelle. Season 1 of the BBC's blackly comic crime drama, scripted by Fleabag's Phoebe Waller-Bridge, scooped multiple critical awards including the Guardian's best TV show of 2018, and season 2 picks up immediately where the last episode left off. The trailer's big (non) surprise, is that the psychotic Villanelle (played by Jodie Comer) is recuperating from her dramatic meeting with Eve, but mystery surrounds a unknown character, a taxi collision and - a quite spectacular - lederhosen piggy outfit, presumably worn by Villanelle. We've analysed the new trailer frame-by-frame to unearth some new details, using clues and quotes from a recent cast interview to speculate on where the season goes next. There's nothing *too* spoilery, we suspect, since the trailer uses a fractured … [Read more...] about 11 killer details you might have missed from the first Killing Eve season 2 trailer
The big question we have after watching Westworld season 2, episode 2
It’s only two episodes old, but Westworld season 2 already has more twists and turns than Armistice’s tattoo. We know Bernard has killed all the Hosts, somehow, and now the Man in Black / William is talking about having built ‘something’ in the park that could be a huge threat to everyone in it. It’s likely the thing Ford - speaking via his robot boy in episode 1 - was referring too when he told the Man in Black that they’re playing a new game, and this one is definitely made for him. So… what did William build? Be warned: there are major spoilers for Westworld S2 episode 2 coming up.You’ll find our discussion in the video above, but the honest answer is that we don’t know. It’s likely related to the part of the park that Bernard - and everyone else - never knew existed, until now. It’s in a zone that is completely off the radar. No surprise, really, as William has had a controlling stake in the park (or the ear of the … [Read more...] about The big question we have after watching Westworld season 2, episode 2
Westworld Season 2, Episode 2 Review: Should Have Been The Premiere
Westworld Season 2, Episode 2, "Reunion," left me with one overwhelming feeling: I wish this had been the Season 2 premiere. Episode 2 had the exact right mix of exposition, flashback, action, and mystery that made Westworld Season 1 impossible to turn away from, and which the Season 2 premiere's 70 long minutes of weirdly paced setup lacked. At least we're back in the saddle now.The episode's opening, with Dolores in the real world, is a perfect example. This scene showed us new sides of both Dolores and Arnold, revealing that Dolores has actually seen the world outside the park before. And now she remembers; "I've been there before," she tells Teddy later in the ep. That's clearly going to come up later.There is one mystery here, depending how you read the scene: Is this really the outside world, or is it just another park? The exterior shots as Arnold leads Dolores across the street look uncanny, too clean, and filled with unnatural, robotic-looking people. The under-construction … [Read more...] about Westworld Season 2, Episode 2 Review: Should Have Been The Premiere
