Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon are both big shows in their own right and they also share a universe. The golden question we are answering in this post is whether the original show needs to be viewed before the new one. The answer to that is no. You do NOT need to …
Dowager Queen Alicent has been through a lot it seems to get her son Aegon on the Iron Throne. She realises now that the Green Council won’t accept a woman sitting as regent. While she has no claim to the Iron Throne herself, Alicent did sit as regent as her husband, Viserys, was getting sicker. …
There is nothing better than Book Question time. In this post, we thought we’d have a little bit of fun and use Google Search Console and Ezoic, to find book questions. The questions will be random subjects, depending on what we can find. Also, this post will accommodate for questions that we cannot fit into …
Podcasts are a big part of Book Club culture nowadays. They help keep readers informed and connect them with other fans who love the same literature as they do. There are so many book podcasts out there now that narrowing down which ones to listen to is often difficult. Since this is the last part …
House of the Dragon is returning to our screens, but some fans might not know it is based on a book. What book is that, you might ask? That book is Fire and Blood. It stands out from the other Game of Thrones books because it does not use character perspectives like the other books. …
Can you believe it’s been almost a year since Jeremy Clarkson was called out for his swipe at Meghan Markle á la Game of Thrones? We wanted to address this because of the recent jab Family Guy got in of the Sussexes being grifters. So, has there been any lessons learned from what happened? No, …
Raise your hand if you were a Disney Channel fan in the early to mid-2000s. We know we were. Joe Jonas rose to fame with his brothers, Kevin and Nick and, yes, Frankie, in several Disney Channel projects. Joe became famous for his role in Camp Rock, which he starred in with fellow Disney Channel …
Hollywood is failing. We’re into month three of the writer’s strike and two months into the actor’s strike. However, woke culture plays a prominent role in this disastrous downfall. It gives off so many ick-factor vibes. So, the downfall of Hollywood has to have been going on well before the pandemic. Projects were beginning to …
July was an odd month as we were still soldiering through Fire and Blood. We had to add something to our reads of 2023, so we read the Harry Potter prequel story on Muggle Net. Going into August, we started getting behind on Goodreads, so we read the first screenplay for the Fantastic Beasts films. …
We’ve finally finished reading Fire and Blood, the unreliable textbook about the Targaryen dynasty from Aegon the Conqueror to Aegon III. However, the book also explores themes that even its sequels in the Game of Thrones series of books and the television series covers. In this post, we’re going to explain what these themes are. …
Many stories of fiction are contrived from aspects of reality. One trope that pops up in the fantasy genre is incest. Also known as inbreeding, many tales, such as the worlds created by George R.R. Martin (Westeros) and J.K. Rowling (Harry Potter), have dove into this a lot in their works. It has also been …
Born the eldest son and child of Eddard “Ned” Stark and his wife Catelyn Tully, Robb Stark was meant to be king. But Game of Thrones has a habit of denying its characters happy endings. He and his pregnant wife, Talisa Maegyr, were killed during what is known as the Red Wedding. The massacre also …
Daenerys Targaryen might be the Mother of Dragons in Game of Thrones, but did you know she was married during the show’s first season? Her husband was Khal Drogo, a Dothraki warlord. He had no issues with murdering people and raping women as he did with his wife. Drogo’s name was taken from the name …
Our current read is Fire and Blood by George R.R. Martin, the prequel novel to the famous books that inspired the hit HBO series, Game of Thrones. We recently reviewed what we’d read so far in the “historical tome” written about the Targaryen dynasty. But there is more to this. Since we’ve watched House of …
It’s no secret that House of the Dragon is one the most significant shows to hit HBO since Game of Thrones ended. But where did the lore come from if it didn’t come from the same books? That’s where Fire and Blood comes in. Fire and Blood is formatted as a history book told by …
Matt Smith will always be Doctor Who to science fiction fans. However, in George R.R. Martin’s Westeros, he is the infamous Daemon Targaryen, the brother of Viserys I Targaryen and the uncle-husband of Rhaenyra Targaryen. In House of the Dragon, Smith’s character is one of those who have an agenda that doesn’t always align with …
Jon Snow was a fan-favourite character during the days of Game of Thrones. For a long time, it was said that his father was Ned Stark through a fling with “a lowborn” woman named “Wylla.” Then, however, the show changed it up to make Lyanna Stark, Ned’s sister, Jon’s mother, and Rhaegar Targaryen, his true …
The Game of Thrones actors who made it to the end of the series were a pretty lucky bunch. Given all the horrible ways many of the characters died, it should be an honour to make it to the end of the show’s run. So, in this post, we wanted to go over all the …
Who was the Mad King?
The ending of Game of Thrones is questioned by a lot of people who were avid fans of the series. Some dub the final season the worst. Whatever your opinion, it’s only fair to review how the series ended as it was a requested topic. So, what happened? We’re going off what an article from …
Never mess with a mother in Westeros. The following season of House of the Dragon won’t drop until 2024. Still, we can only speculate what is coming for Rhaenyra Targaryen, her uncle-husband Daemon, and their allies in Season 2. We will also be jumping back and forth between Team Black and Team Green as we’ll …
