Season Four

This season was not inspiring to me. The Stark Family is like the first three seasons – still torn apart.

Jon Snow is still with the Wildings with a plot to get away from them and help his home, The Wall. Jon gets away from the Wildings. Injured and alive he makes it back to The Wall; and warns them that the Wildings are coming. A fight breaks out and lots of people are killed.

Arya is still with The Hound traveling to the unknown. Brienne is sent to find Arya to keep the promise she made to Ayra’s mother to find and protect the children. Brienne finds Arya. Arya refuses to go with her; she is very suspicious of Brienne. The Hound and Brienne fight; with Hound getting hurt and Arya has to leave him to travel on her own.

Joffrey marries Margaery and has a big celebration. You know what they say about karma. Well, Joffrey is poisoned and dies. He was so mean to Tyrion and humiliated him the entire wedding dinner. And it’s funny. When he was chocking, no one rushed to help him at first. It was like slow motion; no anyone coming to try and rescue him. Reminder, never think you are better than others; and think you can treat others with disrespect. And of all things, Cersei accuses Tyrion of murder. Really.

During the dying of Joffery, Sansa gets away with the help of the joker; she is taken to a boat and then to a big ship. Peter is on the ship; and there to get her out of King’s Landing. I was so happy. I’m not sure of Peter’s motive is right now, but at least she is no longer there. Sansa is taken to her Aunt Lysa’s castle.

Bran Stark and his crew are on their mission still to find what, I have no idea. All I can say about him is that he is the luckiest kid every.

So, next season will continue with the fate of the Stark Family. I will not get my hope up too high.

Season Three

This season was the test for me to continue watching the show; but I can’t stop watching it!! I have been cheering for Starks to get back together and fix up Winterfell; get their lives back together. Now the Stark family is all in shambles.

King Robb goes to the castle of Frey to apologize for not marrying one of his daughters. He explains to the daughters that he did not mean to disrespect them, but he had fallen in love with someone else. Everything seems cool; they celebrate the marriage of one of his daughter to a cousin with food and music. Then everything goes bad. King Robb, Talisa and Catelyn are all taken out in a matter of five minutes. What went wrong? Frey apparently is still upset that Robb did not marry one of his daughters.

Arya in the meantime is almost there to reunite with Robb and Catelyn, but gets to the castle too late. Now she has to continue on to find her other siblings. Arya is getting stronger and able to take care of herself; but she needs her siblings.

Sansa marries Tyrion because of his father’s demands. Thank goodness, it’s a marriage in name only. King Joffery is not nice to Tyrion and embarrasses him at his own wedding. I feel sorry for Tyrion, but he is part of the Lannister family of monsters; and can not be let off the hook either. Sansa hears the news that her mother and brother are dead. Sansa needs to get out of King’s Landing the first chance she gets.

So starting Season Four, I want the Stark children to get back together. They have now lost their mother, father and older brother. What more can they take??

Season Two

Okay, you remember how I was so excited about season one; how I just knew the Stark family would get back together and everything will be fine. Well, that didn’t happen.

There is so much betrayal. King Robb Stark is trying to get a big army together so that he can defeat King’s Landing. He falls in love with Talisa, a field nurse at his camp, even though he was obligated to marry the daughter of one of his mother’s alias. His best friend Theon travels home to see his father to get help; but ends up traveling to Winterfell, taking over and killing most everyone there.

Arya is traveling around with anyone who would take her in, so that she can get back home to Winterfell; at the time not knowing, her home is gone. She and her traveling friends end up prisoners at a camp where she meets Lancel Lannister. She becomes his cupbearer and listens to learn everything she can about King’s Landing. She later escapes there for another search to find her family.

Sansa is still in Kings Landing trying to make the best of her situation. She is plotting to get away , to get back to Winterfell to find her family. She seems scared but in the end, I’m thinking she will become a strong leader.

Bran heads to the wall after Winterfell has fallen; he’s in search of Jon Snow. Him and his younger brother escape with nothing but are determined to find someone in their family. He cannot walk but he has friends that make sure he gets around. Theon earlier made it look like he had captured the young Stark boys and burned them; with that known, the young boys can move about freely.

The Battle of Blackwater is at King’s Landing. King Joffery is scared and wants to go back inside. Tyrion takes over and have the troops battle to victory. I really wanted King’s Landing to get demolished. That kingdom can not stay on top forever.

There was so much more that happed in this season so I don’t want to give too many details. You have to watch the show!!

Season One

Finished season one and now watching Season Two. OMG!! This show is so good and this is not my type of show but I’m loving it!! The storyline is well written. Two families – one good and the other one just evil. Lord Starks goes to Kings Landing to help his lifelong friend, King Robert, run things. Stark takes two of his children with him; one daughter, Sansa, who is due to marry the king’s son in time; so she is being groomed. The other daughter, Arya, I like the best because she is a thinker and does not take mess from anyone; she’s only 11 years old. There are more characters; but right now, these are the ones I care about right now.

The trouble starts when the King Robert dies and the young prince takes over. King Robert had written a letter for Lord Starks to take over when he dies, but it didn’t work out that way. The young King Jeffrey had Lord Stark killed and it’s on from there. What a mess this boy child has made. Everyone is ready to go to war. Young Arya runs away and Sansa stays at the kingdom to marry the young king. Rob Stark is planning a war to defeat King’s Landing because of his father’s killing.

So now, I’m on Season Two. What will happen to the good family? They are all separated right now, so will they come back together.? Will Lady Stark get her children back? What a mess. I have so many questions!!!

I have started watching the GOT for the fifth time. The reason I love the show now is because I watched the zero episodes that talk about the characters, locations and what the relationships are. Now the show makes sense to me. This is not my particular genre, but it will give me something to watch and enjoy during the pandemic.

I have watched Season 1, Episodes 1-9 and I’m hooked. So if you have a chance and some time, give it a try. You may like it too!!

Just started this new show on HBO. Episode one starts out with the murder of an 11 year old boy who was found in the woods. The detective is looking to see who did it. They get evidence of who they think the killer is. They arrest a local kids baseball coach publicly at a game he is coaching.

Days before the arrest they are interviewing witnesses that had seen the coach at the time of the murder. They interview an older teacher who saw him pick the little boy up in his van thinking he was taking him home because he bike was broken. They interview a young girl who sees him coming out of the woods with blood all over him; and when the girl ask him what was wrong, he says he ran into a tree and hurt himself. They interview a guy at a bar that sees the coach come in with blood on his clothes; and watches him go into the bathroom to change clothes. They interview a cab driver that picks him up from that same bar and takes him to a hotel out of town.

After the coach gets arrested, his lawyer gets a video of a conference the coach attended the same day of the murder. There is video of him in the hallway of the hotel. How is that possible? Does he have another person that helped him? The suspense . . .

A great movie to watch stars Nia Long. Of course, we have seen the same plot over and over again. Nia is a wife of 20 years who runs into an old college friend. She agrees to go have drinks with him and it almost turns into something more; but she comes to her senses and runs off. Well the long lost guy is not having it. He starts stalking her and you know the rest.

A good watch on Netflix!!

The is a great show on Netflix that everyone who likes action should watch. I’m watching it again and it will keep your attention. Teresa Mendoza is always running from some one or just plain getting into trouble.

Try it out, and you will get hooked!!

Since the pandemic, finding something to watch on TV has been a struggle. Believe it or not, I’m watching this show. I’m on Season 10. I never have like reality shows, but this one caught my attention. Mostly because I miss “The Walking Dead’. No comparison, but the survival aspect reminds me of the show.

These two people out in the swamp, desert or even a beach is a show to watch. I didn’t want to try it but I have and can’t stop watching it. These people are doing something they are passionate about. All I can say is “they can have it!!”

Season 8 – Final Season

This season started out the Carrie getting release as a Russian prisoner. The CIA put her in a psychiatric facility so they could test her and see if she had been compromised. I was interesting to see how Carrie is trying to get herself back together. She spend over seven months captured and I’m sure tortured.

As the episode continues, Saul wants to use Carrie for his bidding overseas. Carrie, in his mind, is the best and she is. He knows she will do what it takes to keep the country safe.

Carrie is struggling throughout a few episodes and as always, she has to do thing her way, which is what makes the show interesting. She goes off on her adventures and everyone is looking for her.

The best episode was the final one. Carrie is trying to get the black box that was as the crash site when the helicopter with down with very important people in them that died. The only way she can get it is to make a deal with the Russians. Carrie is trying to get Saul to give her information on who his Russian spy is and he would not do it. She is even told by Yevgeny that if she kills Saul, she could get the information; because Saul would have left something for her in his passing. Carrie is seriously thinking about doing it. She even drugs Saul to make him tell her but it does not work. She goes to Saul’s sisters house and even tells her that Saul is dead. Saul’s sister believes her, and Carrie gets the envelope left for her by Saul. She is that desperate to get Saul’s spy information. Carrie gets the name of the contact, which gets Russian spy killed later. After leaving Saul’s sister’s house, she goes off the Yevgeny.

Saul is rescued by his colleagues and he is very disappointed in Carrie. It fast forwards to Saul moving out of his house and is sister helping. He is contacted by a book store owner that he has a package. Saul being very suspicious goes to get the package. It’s a book. It’s a book written by Carrie. Saul scans the book and looks for a secret code and is delighted to see that Carrie has a message for him.

They show Carrie living in Russia. She is getting dressed for a concert with Yevgeny at her side; they have been living together now for two years. She is now a spy with Saul as her contact. In the end, Carrie is keeping her country safe.

The show is worth watching.
