Game of Thrones Review: S1E1 – “Winter is Coming”

“Winter is Coming.”

And with those three words, the stage is set for one of the most highly anticipated TV adaptations in years. Over two years since the project was announced, almost six months since the first footage was shown on TV, HBO has finally delivered “Game of Thrones”, a ten-part series based on the first book of George R. R. Martin’s “A Song of Ice and Fire” series. This fantasy epic tale was first delivered to bookstores almost fifteen years ago, and the fifth book is due this July. The fanbase has been eagerly awaiting “A Dance with Dragons” and this new show — love for Martin’s series has never been higher, and HBO knows it has a lot of expectations to meet.

Elisabeth Sladen, best known as Sarah Jane Smith from years of work on Doctor Who, has died, according to the BBC, as well as other sources.

The BBC is reporting that she had been battling cancer for a while, although the official cause of

Requiem for a Battlestar

I admit it; I didn’t watch Battlestar Galactica when it first came on. Okay, that’s not quite true. I watched the initial mini-series when it first aired, but I didn’t remember much about it. I certainly watched it a few days after the rest of my friends had seen it, and I remember commenting that “Oh, hey, making Boomer a Cylon was kind of interesting.” But for some reason, I had been distracted while watching it, so some of it didn’t make sense. And, to be honest, I had less-than-fond memories of the original series, which existed in a hazy
