How 'A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms' Proves Daenerys' Plan To Retake Westeros Was Never Going To Go As Well As She Thought
Nearly seven years after it aired, the eighth and final season of the phenomenon that was Game of Thrones is still remembered for one of the most divisive TV series endings of all time. Much of the controversy stems from fans believing the ending was too rushed, particularly the scenes in which Queen Daenerys Targaryen, seemingly depicted as a hero for most of the series, succumbs to Targaryen madness and burns many of the innocent commoners of King's Landing in her bid to seize the Iron Throne.

Six 100-Word Movie Reviews
"The Burbs" (2026), Creator: Celeste Hughey, Actors: Keke Palmer, Jack Whitehall Somehow, I got through this series. I was expecting something different. “The Burbs” takes a psychological thriller approach until it becomes a soap opera, where all the characters talk about random things. I am a Keke Palmer fan, but she felt so misplaced. Credits also include Jack Whitehall, Julia Duffy, Paula Pell, Mark Proksch, and Kapil Talwalker. The actors look like they’re having a fun time working with each other in scenes, but the dialogue and the storyline are so forced. The writing isn’t so good, and the actors try their best. It has to end with a cliffhanger ending.

Series To Watch
I am certainly no stranger to a tv series and everybody knows that in my life. The amount of time I have spent in my existence watching shows on the television or my computer is honestly embarrassing considering I'm not getting paid for it. Maybe someone should be paying me for it. However, it does mean I get to share it with you, dear people. I will do a list order first, don't worry.

My Top 10 Favorite Movie Dragons
#1 - Smaug (from The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug) He is fire. He is death. While I am not a huge fan of The Hobbit movie series (I think the movies are extremely slow-paced), I was in awe when I first saw Smaug on-screen. Benedict Cumberbatch did an exceptional job with the motion capture facial expressions and movements, and his voice acting for the wicked wyvern is chilling. Smaug is brought to life in a terrifying way that leaves a lasting impression.
