What You Need To Know: Game of Thrones Season Six Recap

Image via imdb.com
Okay guys, as we all know, Winter has finally arrived and I'm sure we're all excited and pumped. The seventh season of HBO's Game of Thrones returns in a few days on July 16th and I know a lot of us must have forgotten a few details from the last season and this is where I come in. I put together a few things we should know before season seven premieres. 

JON SNOW

To the excitement of everyone, Jon Snow literally resurrected from the dead with the help of the Red woman. He executes everyone involved in his murder and he was crowned king of the North after defeating Ramsay Bolton and winning back Winterfell. Jon also reunited with Sansa after so many seasons apart. The closing scene of last season revealed Ned Stark's sister Lyanna giving birth to Rhaegar Targaryan's child through Bran's vision. This son, as it seems, turned out to be Jon Snow. 

DAENERYS TARGARYEN

Daenerys Stormborn of the House Targaryen, First of Her Name, the Unburnt, Queen of the Andals and the First Men, Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea, Breaker of Chains, and Mother of Dragons was last seen setting sail for Westeros with Tyrion, Greyworm, Missandei, Varys and her Dragons. She also has Lady Olenna Tyrell and the Sand Snakes of Dorne as her supporters. She still doesn't have a man of her own since she left Dario Naaharis in Mereen. Is she going to claim the Iron Throne? I guess we'll find out soon.

CERSEI LANNISTER

Cersei was one of the major reasons season six was epic and worth watching. She killed almost the entire Kings Landing population including The High Sparrow, Lancel, Margaery and Loras Tyrell by blowing them up. Her only child and the King, Tommen threw himself out of the window after he found out what his mother did. Cersei claimed the iron throne in a completely black outfit. We know what Cersei is capable of and how manipulative she can be, I can't wait to see what she does when she comes in contact with Daenerys. The death of her children seems like it's going to make her more evil. We just have to wait and see.

JAIME LANNISTER

The Kings Slayer has definitely been through so much since he was taken hostage by Lady Stark a few seasons ago. His daughter Myrcella also died in this arms at the end of the fifth season. When he returned to Kings Landing, he discovered that his only child, Tommen, was dead as well. This left Jaime heartbroken and in shock. Is he going to challenge his sister on the Iron Throne? Hopefully he'll reunite soon with his brother Tyrion and maybe they'll go against Cersei together with The Mother of Dragons. Jaime will have two options next season, it's either he's with his sister or against her, he can't be on the fence.

TYRION LANNISTER

Tyrion started serving The Mother of Dragons together with Varys and they were sailing to Westeros at the end of the sixth season.

ARYA STARK

Arya has also been through so much these past seasons. In the previous season, she went blind and trained to become an assassin. She was able to kill The Waif, Walder Frey and his sons. Which means she's probably back on her killing list. She claimed her name in the The Winds of Fire and hopefully she'll reunite with her family soon.

SANSA STARK

Feeding Ramsay Bolton to his dogs was one of the most epic parts of the last season. Sansa is no longer soft like she was in the past seasons, she toughened up, is more confident and reunited with Jon after so many years away. Although, Little Finger is still trying to make her his wife. Hopefully this doesn't happen. She shared this look with him in The Winds of Winter that seemed like she was open to his suggestions. We'll find out in a few days.

BRAN STARK & MEERA REED

Bran was up to a lot last season and through him we discovered probably one of the greatest discoveries so far, which is the fact that Jon Snow is the son of Lyanna Stark and Rhaegar Targaryan. He was also responsible for the death of the Three Eyed Raven and Hodor. Now he's left with the task of getting to Winterfell to let Jon Snow know who his true parents are. Meera was by his side throughout the last season.

THEON AND YARA GREYJOY

After the death of their father, the siblings pledged their allegiance to Daenerys by giving her a thousand ships. Their cousin Euron also had hopes of getting married to Daenerys.

MELISANDRE

She was responsible for bringing Jon Snow back to life but she was confronted by Davos about her involvement in Princess Shireen's death in the fifth season. After being banished, she headed South. I wonder who she'll come in contact with next season. 

THE HOUND

The Hound was on a quest for vengeance but he joined The Brotherhood to fight The White Walkers. There might be some problems if he comes into contact with Arya next season.

The premiere episode is said to be 58 minutes long which is one of the longest premieres they've had in a while. The season was filmed on location in Iceland and Spain. Game of Thrones will come to an end after the eight season. Winter is finally here and I'm sure we're all excited to see whats in store. If I missed any detail, you can let me know in the comments below.

SUITS: Season 6 finale

        The 6th season of suits has been quite an emotional one with Mike's would be wedding with Rachel, his going to Prison and Rachel's death row case. Death row cases can get really sad especially if the suspect is innocent which was the case of Leonard Bailey (Glenn Plummer) who was accused of murdering two people. After staying behind bars for 12 years, Leonard Bailey was finally exonerated with the help of Rachel and Jessica (Gina Torres). During this episode, a major character said goodbye to the show. Gina Torres decided to leave Suits to film another TV Show 'Catch' and it was quite emotional. This episode showed a different side of Jessica Pearson, she put her pro Bono case first before the firm and fought for the freedom of Leonard Bailey.          Gina Torres will no longer be a series regular and I was happy her character wasn't killed off like Will Gardner in the Good Wife, (I cried for two episodes straight) which means

Review- Who's The Boss (2020)

Directed by Chinaza Onuzo, "Who's The Boss" follows Liah (Sharon Ooja) , an Advertising Executive who struggles to climb the cooperate ladder while juggling her mean and vindictive boss Hauwa (Funke Akindele- Bello). She takes the advice of her best friend Jumoke (Ini Dima-Okojie) and enlists her friend Lekan (Blossom Chukwujekwu), a known play boy into posing as her boss but ends up falling for him. It doesn't get any more cliche than this. After watching the first teaser for the Inkblot comedy, I was a little intrigued and looked forward to seeing how they were going to pull it off but sadly, it fell short in more ways than one. The biggest issue I had was the lead character and the actress cast to play it. Ooja has been typecast and I thought seeing her as the lead would show us a different side to the actress but my perception of her acting skills are worse than before. There's nothing worth remembering about this story and her acting did nothing to el

Deepwater Horizon

Theatrical Release Poster Deepwater Horizon is a true life movie based on the explosion of the Deepwater Horizon oil rig on April 20, 2010 in the Gulf of Mexico, Louisiana. The movie starts with us meeting Mike Williams (Mark Wahlberg), his wife Felicia (Kate Hudson) and their daughter. We also meet Andrea Fleytas (Gina Rodriguez) as she's dropped off at the heliport on a bike by her friend. Mike and Andrea meet one of their bosses, Mr. Jimmy (Kurt Russell) at the Heliport. They all board the helicopter and are taken to Deepwater Horizon. At the rig, there's a lot of talk and conversation about the condition of the rig. Caleb Holloway (Dylan O'Brien) and Mike Williams (Mark Wahlberg)  The BP executive, Donald Vidrine (John Malkovich) doesn't support the tests ordered by Mr. Jimmy and some of the employees including Jason Anderson (Ethan Suplee), Caleb Holloway (Dylan O'Brien) and Andrea Fleytas (Gina Rodriguez) are also very concerned about
