Game of Thrones Eastwatch - Performer of the Week

Spoilers are ahead for the latest Game of Thrones episode Eastwatch, if you haven't caught up then please come back when you have.

There are always such great performances in the Game of Thrones universe, it is always going to be hard to pick one specific performer of the week, but I decided to take a crack at it anyway. This week was no exception; Jaime (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) was great when he was pulled out of the lake by Bronn (Jerome Flynn) to see the devastation from last week's episode, and Cersei (Lena Headey) brought it in her enemies speech.

Dany's (Emilia Clarke) show of complete strength but moment of weakness when Jon (Kit Harington) spoke about his new plan to go capture a Wight where both great scenes to watch, Jon's interaction with Drogon was probably my favourite moment of the episode, Arya's (Maisie Williams) face reading techniques were so good that they lead me to think she knows exactly what Littlefinger (Aiden Gillen) is up too, and Sansa's (Sophie Turner) reaction to her sister reading her mind in both shock and awe will stay with me.

Littlefinger's conspiring was spot on this week as he thinks he has the upper hand but that letter will probably be his downfall, Tyrion (Peter Dinklage) walking the field of battle looking a mixture of sadness with a pinch of guilt actually broke my heart, Jorah's (Iain Glen) return to his Khaleesi brought a tear to my eye, and The Hound (Rory McCann) still having a complete disregard for any sort of religion (even though he saw what was in the flames) was a great moment in the episode.

Davos (Liam Cunningham) going back to his old reaving ways and bringing our new favourite bastard Gendry (Joe Dempsie) back to Dragonstone to meet Jon Snow (along with a callback to the banter between Ned Stark (Sean Bean) and King Robert (Mark Addy) from the first season) almost made him my performer of the week.

My performer of the week has got to be Gilly (Hannah Murray) for uncovering some vital information while Sam (John Bradley-West) sat and sulked about not being given any relevant information. Gilly has uncovered the annulment between Rhaegar Targaryen and his wife Elia Martell which was all written down by High Septon Maynard.

Now the first time I watched it I couldn't make out what she was saying, she didn't pronounce his name correctly so I watched the scene again, this time with subtitles, and it's as clear as day (sorry if the pictures a bit fuzzy had to take it on the TV). Rhaegar annulled his marriage to Elia and remarried someone else in a secret ceremony in Dorne at the exact same time. The show has now confirmed that Jon is NOT a bastard!

I feel like I've been waiting for this moment forever, the weight has lifted, and we finally have ourselves a legitimate contender to the throne. I wonder what Dany will do when she finds out his lineage or the rest of the North for that matter. Next week we will get to see Jon and the rest of the Magnificent Seven take on the Army of the Dead, maybe he won't survive long enough to find out the truth.

Game of Thrones - The Hall of Faces Trailer and Theories!

I've been watching out for this trailer for the past week and was pretty excited to see some footage from the new season. Instead we got to see the faces of characters, some of whom are long lost, and others who have yet to leave us. SPOILER WARNING for those who haven't caught up with season five. The trailer takes place in the Hall of Faces, which is inside the House of Black and White in Braavos. The hall looks great, creepy but great. We can hear some whispers which are too quiet for me to make out. Then Ned's (Sean Bean) face appears on screen, we then hear him say a line from the show's first ever episode called Winter is Coming. "The Man who passes the sentence should swing the sword." The screen then fades to black and we then see a clip of some more rows of heads. We then hear even more whispers and which I think sounds like some drops of waters. We then hear the voice of Robb Stark (Richard Madden) who we hear give a quote from seaso...

Lion Rampant

So for those of you who haven't heard about this project it was leaked during the Sony hack. This as a potential sequel to Braveheart called Lion Rampant, after the flag I have shown above. Really it should be called Braveheart as Robert the Bruce was called the Brave Heart and his heart was taken into battle after his death. Depicting Robert the Bruce's story and the Battle of Bannockburn (24th June 1314) in Scotlands first war for independance where King Edward II was beaten in battle by a small force lead by Robert the Bruce. Robert the Bruce in Braveheart was shown as a traitor and I am hoping that this upcoming movie would mean that he will hopefully get the makeover he so rightly deserves. Although he did pay homage to Edward I, The Bruce really secretly supported Wallace (later publicly supporting him) and he did not betray Wallace, that was Sir John Menteith. This could easily turn into a what's wrong with Braveheart post so I will state that they did get the...

I dropped the ball!

........ Image courtesy of paradigmalibu These last few months I've felt as if I have dropped the proverbial ball, my mind has been witness to a stand off between Mental health disorders and things from my past I'd rather not constantly have to relive. It's buried itself into my soul while operating my mindless drone of a body, I've relived every conversation I ever had; thought of Friends long gone as I struggle to open up about my disability. I don't even like calling it that as it feels disrespectful to people like my parents; who's struggle and sheer joy of receiving two disabled free babies has been with me my entire life. But I am not OK - I feel like I have to admit that to the world. A miscarriage has taken me back mentally to a place I've not been for a very long time, and I'm petrified t...
