REVIEW: House of the Dragon – Season 1, Episode 4 “King of the Narrow Sea”
Jed | Hollywood Scholar | Sep 12, 2022 | 0
Following last week’s fantastic episode, House of the Dragon: “King of the Narrow Sea” had some rather large shoes to fill. Does it live up to its predecessor, “Second of his Name?” Not entirely, but it’s only marginally inferior and does not bring down this season. “King of the Narrow...

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power continues with episode 3, “Adar,” which, once again, is a bloated, nonsensical slog that breaks every fundamental rule of writing, characterization, and dialogue. The plot could have easily been condensed into less than 15 minutes, just like the previous...

The day of wrath has come, uniting the Tolkien fanbase beneath a single banner in opposition to the looming bastardization that is Amazon’s The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. The first two episodes of The Rings of Power premiered on Amazon Prime and were met with all the backlash expected ...

And, we’re back. While the pilot of She-Hulk: Attorney at Law was as bad as we all assumed it would be, the second episode was a vast improvement, indicating the shift from girls-rule-boys-drool nonsense to an intelligent show that wants to explore some complicated moral questions through a relata...
