GAME OF THRONES : SEASON 5 EPISODE 7 : SANSA SANSA



I have been watching this seasons game of thrones with less anticipation than I did last year.Have the producers and cast gotten lazy ?.Why am I not believing some of the story lines? .This episode saw us with the Sand Snakes , the bastard daughters of Oberyn Martell who are locked up after trying to avenge his death by kidnapping the Lannister girl.Now my understanding is these women are supposed to be bold , beautiful and breathtaking, fierce warriors.Instead they look stupid , the acting is below par and the fighting scene left me wondering why they were called the Sand Snakes or why they were feared.
The acting scene reminded me of a Power Ranger fighting scene.Really Game of Thrones ?These women are supposed to be the best the Martells have to offer? You couldn't pick better actors ?.These actors are just making up there faces to look tough .Like when you've eaten a stale fish sandwich with bad cheese.Plus you want me to believe a one hand man and a soldier beat three women who were born to fight.
Now Jaime's daughter has refused to go home with him and frankly I find it strange that Jaime is there having killed guards just strolling about , having meetings.The King seems very forgiving , too forgiving but then again he needs the alliance with the Lannister's because how  else is anyone going to take them seriously.
Oberyn was good, fierce.His daughters are supposed to be everything.They are lack lustre.They need to kill them off quick or improve there acting and scenes because i'm unimpressed.
SANSA
Sansa , Sansa , this was the season you were to be everything , brave , not be a pawn and play the game.Instead Sansa is forced to marry Ramsay Snow the bastard son of Lord Bolton to save and be the North.And who sets up this pretty arrangement ? Little Finger .She's always someones pawn , she is always being abused.When will we see Sansa grow a brain?.Is she just beauty, dull and boring ?.She's always walking around looking like she's in pain.Maybe if she did something every once in a while and grew some back bone , well then maybe she'd be on the winning side .But it seems Arya inherited all the back bone and the spine.
Plus Theon is dead hope.
Sansa losing her virginity felt like us losing our virginity, it was heart wrenching , well done game of thrones.I was upset , I was rooting for her.You managed to shock and grab our attention.
CERSEI
They always say don't throw stones if you live in a glass house and the last scenes of last nights episode was quiet satisfactory.I just wish it had been more dramatic.Some heavy dragging, but hey I can't complain.Karma is a bitch tho, because she went to gloat and got thrown in like a leper.They finally gave us the viewers something to rejoice.
Daenery
Now Daenery was good in the first seasons , the dragons exciting , taking over the world was an adventure.This is boring , a big yawn.We haven't seen any much dragons, they aren't terrifying anymore.Shes just in this one place trying to rule and claim and stop uprisings.We get it , she's good at heart and good girls are boring.The uprising is boring and frankly its lost its magic and feel.She isn't strong and fearful anymore always running around asking what to do.And it feels like she's never going to conquer the world.Nothing exciting happens with her.Daario is hot and good at fighting but that's it . This season isn't gelling together.The outfit too is dead they change colour every week.She never gets any real competiton .No attempt hasn't been made on her life ? Really ? , the rich haven't paid any one off to try it, in that impoverished part of the world.Why are the masters looking so frail, if they used to rule a place so great well i'm expecting greater men and competition.
Tyrion
Tyrion is good with talking , he can get himself out of anything .He's supposed to be incredibly smart.Yet we don't see him using any of that brain to fight.If he was so smart he would have been King on the throne.He met Daenary and that's where they ended.He's supposed to help her gain the world.His father is dead and that's a part of the reason of this season being lack lustre .Tywin was a strong and sensational character.He being gone makes the show feel empty.It lacks appeal and feeling.We expect great things from Tyrion and I hope this season makes it, we need brilliant plots and heart wrenching scenes and acting or Winter is Coming for Game of Thrones Season 5.
They need to get there act together , plots and scenes.Have they gotten complacent? .Or maybe i'm just expecting too much but I should its Game of Thrones.
What do you think about this season ?

SERIES SHOWS THAT WE CAN'T STOP WATCHING : A DIFFERENT WORLD

A Different World is an American sitcom that was aired for six seasons and was a spin off of the famous "Cosby Show".It is a refreshing old school show that is like fine wine , it never gets old.It is funny, charming , whitty and addictive.A Different World with a cast mainly black with a sprinkle of white drags you in , it inspires you to go to college and to experience it all for yourself. It starred the bubbly Lisa Bonet as Denise Huxtable , who left after the first season due to pregnancy and therefore the show focused more on college experiences with Whitney Gilbert (played by Jasmine Guy) as the lead, who could not have made a better replacement lead if you ask me.Lisa Bonet played the fresh college student astoundingly with her drop dead beauty , teenage face expressions and of course the voice tones , while Jasmine Guy played the part so well of the girl in college that happens to be on your dorm that you just can't stand ,she's irritating , annoying,condescending and discriminates on those who are not of the wealth and family background she proudly is from .She also ensures to pat you with her notion on every occasion of her being superior to every one else due to these facts (that her parents are wealthy and that she is from an elite bloodline).To push the envelope even further Miss Gilbert is given a southern accent , one she draws sometimes to irritate you .The show focuses on young love ,with the ever pursuant Dwayne Wayne (Kadeem Hardison) who is ever pressed to find a girlfriend and to court all the young girls on campus he can possibly court and to his detriment his lines come off as cheesy and desperate and he ends up looking stupid.
All round the show is funny , it focuses on good teachers and staff role models , students and there decisions and gives students preoccupied with leaving high school a glimpse into a good depiction of the real life of college students .It also teaches them life skills and how to find healthy friends.A Different World centres on topics not often seen on television and that are rampant in college such as rape , race issues , discrimination , learning to get along with people, time management , hard work , love ,physical abuse,HIV/AIDS etc along many more .
So if you want to watch something invigorating ,something old but new or just want to reminisce over your good old college days then this show is perfect for you.The show is also quintessential for high schoolers who are entering college so they will get a glimpse of college life and learn some good values .
All and all , A Different World will forever be one of my favorite tv series shows,that I will watch irrespective of what age or time I am at in my life.

MY TOP SERIES SHOWS THAT I HAVE BEEN WATCHING !!!

Since recently 
I have been watching  some pretty amazing series shows , so here I am sharing them with you and my views .You are welcome to share yours and your views also . Here are my tv series winners : 

1. Vikings -This show is refreshing , it has amazing actors and a good script . It shows us everything from the vikings point of view and before you know it you grow to love this show and it's fierceness .It has everything for a hit tv series a hot lead guy , sex , religion , fighting , hot women , betrayal and a love story . The cast is easy to remember and the scenes are unforgettable .After awhile you forget where you are as this show pulls you in .The attention to detail is good also . I only hope it gets more popular as people are really missing out on a good show . 

2. Black Sails -This show is about a group of pirates , it mostly takes places in Bahamas , Nassau and is a preview to the book Treasure Island .The visual effects and theme song is remarkable .The detail is good . It's like watching a never ending Pirates of the Caribbean . It has good female lead , lots of nudity and sex , fighting and a good plot . It is a creative series and therefore refreshing .

3. Game of Thrones - I know it hasn't started back yet , but i can't wait .I only hope that the new series will be as good as the previous ones and that they make us fall in love with them all over again . 

4.Supernatural -  Okay I have a flair for the supernatural , sometimes you have to shake it up .Sam and Dean are back at it again to capture us into season 11! .Yes it has been that long .whew ! with each having about 20 episodes ! When will it end ?. The acting is ok , it could be better .Dean is good , Sam at some points are awful . But hey script is good and you get to meet new supernatural beings .

5. American Horror Story -Just finished the first season and it is good .It has nice surprises which most horror movies do and it tells a story each season . It's interesting. 

6. Real Housewives of Atlanta - This year its the older cast members versus the newer cast members .You get to see Phaedra going through her separation from Apollo as he is going to jail .The irony is only three out the seven are actually housewives . With all there personalities blended it's good entertainment .

7. Pretty Little Liars -Every season we all try to find out who A is and what devious schemes A has . The acting is good , and it makes us feel young . The teen drama is different but hopefully it doesnt take 15 or more seasons to find out who A is and the real story behind it all .Even though I have looked on the internet and read about the book and have found out who A is . You're curious as to if they will make a change in the movies . 

8. Being Mary Jane- It is entertaining ,I dont know but somehow Miss Gabrielle Union has caught my interest in this show .

9 Empire - This show is amazing .Terrence Howard plays the lead character .It has a mainly all black cast and it is set in todays music industry .It has a really good script and the actors make a name for themselves .The music is good also and overall this show is a winner . 

10.Scandal- Where is Olivia Pope ? . Scandal like always is good , and this new season hasn't disappointed me as of yet . 

11.How to get away with Murder - It takes place at a prestigious University around a law professor and her students .It is a show you have to pay full attention to or else you will miss something . The title is catchy and Viola Davis plays the lead well . 

12 . The Big Bang Theory - The entire cast is fun and you can't help but not love them . It surrounds a group of nerds and their daily life . It is funny and addicting .

13. The Walking Dead - The makeup work and acting is good .It's like Game of Thrones in that it gives and takes memorable characters each season and has us on the edge of our seats each wondering who will get killed or eliminated next. This show is also a winner . 

So there you have it the best series shows I have been watching so far, they are my all time favorites and this and last year winners  ! I still have space for more , so which ones have i missed ? Tell me below .
