Game of Thrones Recap: Season 8, Episode 1

Posted on April 15, 2019 by H.P.

It’s happening!  Episode one of Game of Throne’s final season is mostly about reunions and moving pieces around the board.  Too much time for the former, I think, as much as we fans want to see them.  We learn almost … Continue reading →
