The Recap Sequence

For better or for worse, things are beginning to fall into place in “Game of Thrones,” which aired Sunday, June 5, on HBO. As the series approaches its finale, many characters are preparing for their endgame, whatever that may be.

Viewers were in for a surprise when HBO started the action with a “cold open” — a scene before the opening credits. The seventh episode of the season immediately rewarded “Deadwood” fans for their patience with a look at Ian McShane as a pacifist septon known as Brother Ray, a far departure from his role as foul-mouthed pimp in the aforementioned series. In the opening scene, he was shown leading a commune of fellow peaceniks who appeared to be building a church. Right before the credits rolled, viewers got a glimpse of Sandor “The Hound” Clegane (Rory, McCann, “Alexander,” 2004), whom Arya (Maisie Williams, “Dr. Who”) left for dead at the end of last season. Brother Ray attempted to council The Hound against violence, but the fallen knight still seemed skeptical.

On this week’s episode, we’ll talk to Monster Mike about last week’s cliffhanger finale of CW’s “The Flash”. Has Barry gone from narrowly averting an infinite crisis to creating a dangerous time paradox?

“X-Men Apocalypse” gently roared into theatres last week, but with so much ado about “Dawn of Justice” and “Civil War”, how did Marvel’s mutants fare in the box office battle of the titans? We’re happy to share OUR thoughts on the matter!

And finally, with the “summer hiatus” season upon us, “The Recap Sequence” is marching towards its own season finale on July 3rd. Between now and then, Episodes 19 – 22 will be reduced to 30 minutes in length, supplemented by “Speaking of Thrones” on our next few Sunday broadcasts.

BUT – on July 3rd, we will be devoting the full hour to celebrating 50 years of “Star Trek”! It’s no secret that we are huge Trek fans so you can be assured that we’re planning a huge finale to our first season!

We’re not done yet, but it’s never too early to thank our listeners and supporters, so thank you! We’re already looking forward to Season 2!

The Recap Sequence

Almost everyone seemed to be on the move in another fast-paced instalment of HBO’s “Game of Thrones,” the critically acclaimed series based on George R. R. Martin’s series of fantasy novels.

An exhausted Meera (Ellie Kendrick, 2009) huffed and puffed as she dragged Bran (Isaac Hampstead-Wright, “Closed Circuit,” 2014) through the snow, desperate to escape the pursuing wrights. Just when all seemed lost, a mysterious horseman arrived with a flaming mace to drive the undead back long enough for Bran and Meera to climb on his steed and escape.
