'Game of Thrones' Season 8: The 15 Best Quotes from Episode 5, “The Bells”
As expected, fire and blood were in full force in Episode 5 of Game of Thrones Season 8, entitled “The Bells.” If the Battle of Winterfell makes the Battle of the Bastards look like a theme park (as described by actor Peter Dinklage), then the Siege of King’s Landing makes the battle against the Night King at Winterfell look like Disney on Ice.

Was this episode visually stunning in places? Yes. Did we get Clegane Bowl? Yes. Was the music fantastic? Of course, as always.
Initiated: My Journey to Find the Beginning of 'Game of Thrones'
Never mind the coffee cup or Jaime's hand. Dismiss any flub that may have occurred associated with this show. This missive is not about those minor events. The major draw, the very crux of the show, is the lives and thoughts of the characters that people Game of Thrones (GoT). It took just the first episode for me to identify and observe what the monumental series has to offer. The truth is, I’ve never been a fan of the show just as I am not of any person, team, or other entity. I can say that I do appreciate the exchanges of power and critique the taboo subjects like incest. As the show unraveled before my eyes, a tinge of excitement like a surge of electricity coursed through my being. I was more than hooked. I found a gem of a television series that has motivated me ever since.

I was packing up my notepad and pencil case when Reuben nudged me with his elbow. “I brought something for you.” “Yeah?” I made sure my water bottle wouldn’t leak, and shoved it in my rucksack. “What is it?”

In this age of online streaming, live television views are down. Once upon a time, strong shows averaged upwards of fourteen million viewers, if not more. It's rare to have a program that captures that large of an audience nowadays. To that end, it's not surprising when good shows are sacrificed. So when S.W.A.T., the action-packed police drama based off the 1975 series of the same name, and subsequent 2003 movie, received a third season renewal, the excitement from its millions of fans spread like wildfire over social media.
Rachel CarringtonPublished 5 years ago in GeeksMy Song of Ice and Fire
All of my friends know that I am the Game of Thrones chick. I mean, I'm not special. Everyone likes the show. But, for me, it has meant something else, and I've referred to it, at times, as "the closest thing I'll ever have to a religion."
The Love of Knowledge, Life, and Wine: My Time with 'Game of Thrones'
I had heard about Game of Thrones for years, but had never wanted to watch it. I think it may have been due to just wanting to be a malcontent, to go against the popular crowd. It's a stupid thing to do, for the most part: you're just depriving yourself of some good quality entertainment.

First airing on September 24, 2007, The Big Bang Theory has become one of the most successful sitcoms of all time. The CBS sitcom has run for twelve years, and now it’s coming to a close with a bumper one-hour long special episode on May 16. Running for twelve seasons, The Big Bang Theory is the longest running series of that genre, which is a huge achievement for the cast and crew, but with the finale almost upon us, it’s set to be an emotional one, so tissues will be essential.
Lewis JefferiesPublished 5 years ago in GeeksHow 'Game of Thrones' Changed My Life
Towards the end of my first semester in college as a freshman, I was very confused. I didn't care much for the university I was attending, and I felt as though everything I've heard about the "college experience," how most people say it was the best years of their lives, was a lie. To put it plainly, I hated my first semester of college. I was homesick, I didn't know what career path I wanted to pursue; I was a mess. Then one day, a few of my friends texted me, and asked if I wanted to come over to their room, and watch this new show they had just started called Game of Thrones. We had all heard of the show before, whether it be through the books the show was adapted from, family, social media, or whatnot. They had already binge-watched the first season within two days, yet they were so eager to introduce this show to me, and knew that I'd decide to give it a chance, considering I don't watch very many TV shows. Little did I know that before I sat down, and watched that first episode, I was making one of the best decisions of my life.
Zachary ThomsenPublished 5 years ago in GeeksWill 'Survivor' Go On Forever
Outwit, Outplay, Outlast, anyone who knows these three tasks has probably watched the show that demands them at one point or another. Survivor... the king of all reality TV shows, has been going strong for a solid 18 years now. Airing in the homes of millions of families all across the country, while branching off to different versions all around the world. There probably isn't a single neighborhood in America that doesn't have at least one person who wants their shot at the million dollar prize, and title of "Sole Survivor." Not to mention, it literally just got CBS a win in ratings a couple of weeks back, when it was the most watched show above all the others that air that Wednesday night.
Carlos GuerraPublished 5 years ago in Geeks'Game of Thrones' Season 8 Controversy: Drama vs. Loyalty (Spoilers)
As much of a prick Ramsey Bolton was, he had a point in saying, “If you think this has a happy ending, you haven’t been paying attention.” Memes have spawned thus far from Season 8; including, Tormund and his giant’s milk anecdote, Bran’s creepy omniscient stares, Cersei’s burning desire for elephants, Arya Stark going Kobe Bryant on the Night King, Ghost not getting the goodbye he deserved, and the Starbucks cup conspiracy. But these are only the surface of the problems this season is developing, mainly with its penchant to depend on drama rather than loyalty to the fanbase.
