So, I slept well enough this morning to have an REM cycle and dream, and what a dream it was. It started out in a parking lot. I was about to reverse and drive away when I saw that the man approaching the car parked in front of mine was George R.R. Martin. That was … Continue reading George R.R.

Writing With Fizzle: Bran
(GoT - Spoilers) To be honest, Bran was never a well-written character. He started out as a McGuffin from the moment Jamie Lannister says 'the things we do for love!' and pushes him out the window. He continues to be a McGuffin while comatose. When he wakes up, he moves to the next phase of … Continue reading Writing With Fizzle: Bran
Writing With Fizzle: Tyrion
(GoT - Spoilers) Peter Dinklage did such a good job portraying Tyrion Lannister. It's practically criminal what they reduced the character to in the final season. We go from the bitter, cynical, jaded man that slaps teenage Joffrey and later murders his father, Tywin Lannister, as Tywin is taking a shit, Tyrion, one of the … Continue reading Writing With Fizzle: Tyrion
Writing With Fizzle: Cersei
(GoT - Spoilers) Cersei Lannister is one of my favorite villains. Well, season 1-6 Cersei Lannister, anyway. Lena Headey did a masterful job portraying the character. Cersei could easily have devolved into something cliched - a mere femme fatale. But while the show had her occasionally use sex to get what she wanted, they didn't … Continue reading Writing With Fizzle: Cersei
Writing With Fizzle: Arya
(GoT - Spoilers) Arya was introduced as the plucky tomboy. The little girl that adores her brothers, doesn't get along very well with her sister, and wants to live her life the way the boys live theirs, with action, adventure and fighting. It's not a particularly original character archetype but Maisie Williams made the character … Continue reading Writing With Fizzle: Arya
Writing With Fizzle
(Another GoT rant - spoilers) I wanted Dany to go mad. I rather liked her character in the beginning. She had some truly rousing moments in which she very much appeared to be a Chosen One, and I hoped that eventually that meant that we'd see her descend into Targaryen madness. For a character with … Continue reading Writing With Fizzle
End Of An Era
Well, Game of Thrones is done. And in my opinion, it went out with a whimper. You could pick just about any Two Steps From Hell song and get a more epic experience in two minutes than from watching last night's episode. Honestly, I feel like Benioff and Weiss are two people that should have … Continue reading End Of An Era
Fuck Those Guys
And by those guys, I mean David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, the showrunners (and current writers) for Game of Thrones. (Potential spoilers ahead.) I enjoyed seasons 1-4, and it started to slide downhill fast for me after that, until I'm simply hate watching the current season out of morbid curiosity. These two are shit at … Continue reading Fuck Those Guys
