‘Game of Thrones’ Breakdown: “Mockingbird”
This week’s episode of ‘Game of Thrones’ is heavy, both in tone and in the surprising amount of content packed into the one hour they give us.

This week’s episode of ‘Game of Thrones’ is heavy, both in tone and in the surprising amount of content packed into the one hour they give us.

Each season, ‘Mad Men’ gives us at least one great Peggy/Don episode, and this week’s “The Strategy” is just that.

The finale episode of NBC sitcom Friends aired 10 years ago this month. Michael Yellin reflects on the show’s highs, lows, quirks, and shark-jumps, all the while defending the show’s ultimate accomplishments.

This week’s episode is filled with first-times for show-watchers. It’s the first time we see the city of Braavos in person, the first time Daenerys sits the throne acting as queen of Meereen (it’s not the Iron Throne, but I suppose it’s good practice), and the first time this season that we visit with Yara Greyjoy, the sister of Theon/Reek.

Reese LeBlanc retraces the massive footprints of motion picture’s most reliable radioactive dinosaur — from Saturday horror greatness to cartoonish stupidity to, just maybe, a shot at redemption.

In this week’s strange episode: Don struggles to get back on top, Megan plans a threesome, Betty finds a voice, and Ginsberg loses it (and…his nipple).

If I worked at A&E and a pitch for a TV show came across my desk that proposed this modern-day prequel to ‘Psycho,’ I would have laughed and thrown it in the trash. Thankfully, I don’t work at A&E.

This week, a new king is crowned; Daenerys postpones her quest for the Seven Kingdoms; the men of the Night’s Watch assault Craster’s Keep, and there’s another wedding — except this time, no one dies.

This week’s episode saw Don falling quickly into his old habits (drinking and ignoring responsibilities) but also saw him make a change right at the end. It also challenged old ideas with the future and put generations against each other.
