Telltale Game: Game of Thrones Episode One Recap

The Grand Budapest Hotel

The movie starts with the author telling a story which did not come from his imagination but was told to him during his stay at The Grand Budapest Hotel in 1968. We then hear the story which takes place in 1932 of a young Zero in his new job as lobby boy. Mr Gustav the concierge is somewhat of a mystery but is completely fascinating. I felt Ralph Finnes gave an Oscar worthy performance and I'm surprised he didn't receive a nomination. Mr Gustav reminded me of V (V for Vendetta), for his fantastic use of the English language delivered at a fast pace. Zero his young prodigy is extremely loyal to Mr Gustav, almost like he sees him as a father figure of sorts. Gustav's lady friend Madame D dies and in a last minute not yet fully authorized addition to her will she gives Gustav her priceless painting, "Boy with apple." He then goes on to steal this, as it technically belongs to him, and we are then taken on a great adventure. From the start this movie drew me ...

Agents of Shield - Purpose in the Machine

So yeah I just finished watching Agents of Shield episode two. I was going to leave it until tomorrow morning but I found myself wanting to write about it. I really enjoyed this episode guys and I am going to tell you why. SPOILERS ARE COMING! Now let's talk about Ward (Brett Dalton), I love hydra Ward best. If Grant has an evil purpose he is better for it, he might not have the girl, but he has a team. Ward is going to cleanse Hydra of all its money lovers. He will form Hydra 2.0, only in it for the destruction. Now that's the Ward we can all get behind, he might be the bad guy, but he's our bad guy. So the episode starts in 18th century England inside a creepy mansion with men in powdered wigs and such. They are technically drawing straws but with stones, the white stone goes in the Portal. He will be missed but they throw out a hydra-esque quib about how they have to sacrifice to learn, wait no one actually comes back. Oh no Simmons! We cut back to present day a...

Game of Thrones - Who Else Could Return From The Dead?

Spoilers ahead for episode seven of this sixth season, The Broken Man. Last week I was so relieved to finally see the Gravedigger Theory confirmed, us book fans had an idea that we hadn't quite seen the last of that loveable Hound, Sandor Clegane (Rory McCann), and it was nice to see him appear lugging a tree. Now we are faced with wondering who else could potentially rise from the dead before this sixth season is over. Stannis the Mannis Stannis Baratheon (Stephen Dillane) was apparently killed by Brienne at the end of last season, but the shot cut away before we saw his head being chopped off. If watching the show or reading the books has taught us anything it is to not believe someone is dead until we actually see it happen with our own two eyes. The Hound was in a similar position, we all thought he would die from bleeding out in the middle of nowhere but he had help in the form of Brother Ray (Ian McShane), who had stumbled upon him and saved him from dea...
