Game of Thrones Season 7 finale recap- "The Dragon and the Wolf"

WARNING!! Major Spoilers ahead!!

Sunday nights won't be the same for the next couple of months because the seventh season of Game of Thrones is over!! After teasing us for so many seasons, winter finally came! At the end of the sixth season, Cersei killed most of her enemies and after her son committed suicide, she crowned herself Queen of the Seven Kingdoms. She became more determined to take down anyone who challenged her power and this included Daenerys and her allies.The season was a good one for House Stark, they took back Winterfell and the Stark kids finally reunited this season after so many years apart, but they all returned as different people. Sansa became a bit more intelligent than she was in the previous seasons, Arya became an assassin and Bran became the Three Eyed Raven. After escaping from the Iron Islands with a hundred ships,  Yara and Theon pledged their allegiance to House Targaryen but they were attacked by Euron who kidnapped his niece and took her to Cersei as a gift, while Theon escaped. The seventh season of HBO's Game of Thrones has been a roller coaster, especially for Jon Snow and Daenerys, who lost one of her Dragons to the Night King.

    Now lets talk about the finale! I'm not even sure how to describe how I feel after watching "The Dragon and the Wolf", especially the final scenes which just gave me serious goosebumps. The episode was filled with major events which will shape the course of things in the eight and final season. Jon, Daenerys and Tyrion have a meeting at Westeros to let Cersei know that the army of the dead are actually real and not just stories. They try to convince The Queen to put a pause on her fight against them for the Iron Throne to form an alliance to beat The Night King and his army. She eventually agrees to do this after her brother Tyrion convinces her. The conversation between Tyrion and Cersei was played out perfectly by Lena Headey and Peter Dinklage thanks to their amazing performances. Unbeknownst to everyone, including Jaime, Cersei made other plans with Euron Greyjoy to sail to Essos to pick up The Golden Company which she paid for with gold from The Iron Bank. Jaime tells his twin sister/lover that he'll sail North like he promised and she threatens to have him killed be The Mountain. Really Cersei? You would kill the only person that actually cares about you? Such a toxic relationship between these siblings.

Far off in Winterfell, the Stark sisters teamed up to take down their common enemy and the sneakiest person in Kings Landing, Lord Baelish aka Little Finger. This, I didn't expect to happen so soon. I felt they were going to play out the Stark sisters hating and not trusting each other for a while. Nevertheless, seeing Little Finger beg for his life was one of the most satisfying things to watch (not as satisfying as Ramsay's death) mostly because of all the evil things he did and planned to do through Sansa. She used his advice against him and had Arya slice his throat. Little Finger was one character I loved to hate, I could never predict the motive behind his actions. Its a sad departure for the amazing Aiden Gillen who played his character so well.

One of my favorite parts about the finale was when Bran revealed Jon's true parentage to Sam. Yeah, we already knew, but seeing Rhaegar Targaryan and Lyanna Stark's secret wedding through Bran made me happy for a second but at the same time I got pissed seeing Jon make love to his aunty. It was just weird to watch, we already have enough of the incest with Jaime and Cersei.

All hell broke loose when the blue eyed Night King riding Viserion brings down The Wall to make way for the Army of the Dead as they all march silently to Westeros. The Great War next season is  going to be intense and I'm wondering how the Army of the Dead will be stopped.

What do you think about the Game of Thrones finale? I thought it was amazing but not as good as the sixth season finale. Its obviously going to be a bloodbath and I honestly can't wait for them to blow our minds next season which will premiere in 2018 or 2019. HBO has confirmed that the final season will consist of 6 movie length episodes and filming may begin October 2017.

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 c...

"Don't Tell Mama"- The Shocking Sharp Objects Season Finale

   Sharp Objects easily tops the list of my all time favorite TV Series. The HBO Limited Series aired it eight and final episode last night and it's something I'll probably never forget. I'm trying so hard to find the right words to describe this amazing show and the phenomenal acting from Amy Adams, Patricia Clarkson and Eliza Scanlen. They were just too perfect. Throughout the season, we've all been trying to figure out who the killer was in this whodunnit and I had so many theories. I never believed it was John Keene because most times, it's always the person you least expect that'll end up being the perpetrator. My first suspect was Alan (Henry Czerny), Adora's husband and Amma's father. I thought the only reason he would venture out to killing teenage girls was due to the fact that he was no longer as had a bond with his daughter and his loveless marriage but I was so wrong. Then I thought it was the Police Chief, Bill who was in cahoots with Ado...

Chicago Justice: Series Premiere/Crossover Episode-"Fake"

Image via imdb.com I looked forward to seeing Chicago Justice after it was announced because I love the One Chicago universe even though I'm yet to see the other shows, i'm very familiar with their stories and characters. I'm a crazy fan of Chicago PD so I'm going to binge watch all the episodes of Chicago Fire, but I don't think I'll be able to see Chicago Med. Medical shows are too emotional for me. With Law and Order: Special Victims Unit, I don't know where to start from, but I'll binge watch from season one to eighteen whenever I can for sure.  The four part crossover started with an episode on Chicago Fire and concluded in the season premiere of Chicago Justice. There is a fire at a warehouse and the Chicago Fire crew think it's an accident but Severide (Taylor Kinney) finds metal wedges shoved under the door which means whoever started the fire wanted everyone trapped inside, so its arson.
