The Legend of Korra - 1x09 & 1x10

Real life has intruded into my writing these past couple of weeks.  You'd think there would be less things going on in the summer.  Therefore, this will be a quick post on the past two episodes of The Legend of Korra before the double episode finale tomorrow.

Game of Thrones - 2x10 - Valar Morghulis

We've come to the end of the second season of Game of Thrones, and I've had almost two weeks (so lazy) to mull over the finale and the season as a whole.  Comparing it to the first season is inevitable and I think there are ways that the second was better, and ways that it's not.

The Legend of Korra - 1x08 - When Extremes Meet

The new Team Avatar has finally been officially formed and Tarrlok has a few shady schemes he's cooking up.

Game of Thrones - 2x09 - Blackwater

The big battle has finally come.  I usually structure my reviews by locale, but due to the scale of events happening this week, the entire episode takes place at King's Landing.  The focus gives the episode a clarity that a few of the preceding episodes were lacking because of having to jump around and serve so many stories.  I wonder if the show could do this more often without viewers losing the threads of the stories left out.
