Last Episode of Game of Thrones: the ultimate disappointment

After 2 years of waiting, we finally watched the last episode of Game of Thrones this week, and the results were... let's say, unexpected.

Being a huge fan of the books and the show, I couldn't let this end without saying anything. I'm quite used to bad endings for good shows by now (just think about Dexter or Lost...), so I didn't have many expectations.

Running, running, running...

This whole season was some sort of race against time, and that was quite annoying for me, and as far as I know, for most of GoT fans around the world.

We get it, they needed to end the show, but there were so many choices...

The Absolute Need to Prove Us Wrong

We can't say that the show didn't surprise us; there were so many (and much more obvious) choices that weren't made. In fact, if you watched it closely, you'll probably feel that they wrote it precisely to destroy every single fan theory that exists.

What they forgot was that those theories existed... because they made sense!

They Left Us With... Nothing

The high point of the episode was, without a doubt, Drogon's attitude. In the end, the dragons were probably the wisest characters in the whole story.

But don't be sad, at least they chose a good king...

Gangsta Granny – Hilarious and Surprisingly Moving

I have a ten-year-old daughter, and one thing we like to do is read the same books so we can talk about them afterward. Gangsta Granny was a birthday gift for her, and she read it so quickly that it immediately made me curious. When a child finishes a book that fast, you know something is working. When I finally read it myself, I was pleasantly surprised — and completely charmed. A Story That Is Funny and Moving At first glance, Gangsta Granny is a crazy, over-the-top, and very funny story. David Walliams clearly knows how to make children laugh, using absurd situations, exaggerated characters, and a fast-moving plot that keeps young readers hooked. But beneath the humour, the book is also sweet, touching, and emotionally rich. What starts as a wild adventure slowly reveals a story about family, loneliness, empathy, and learning to truly see the people around us. This balance reminded me of Roald Dahl’s books , where outrageous humour and emotional depth coexist effortles...

The Handmaid’s Tale – From Brilliant to Frustrating

When The Handmaid’s Tale first aired, it felt sharp, terrifying, and painfully necessary. I wrote about the first season as a dark and brilliant adaptation, one that used restraint, symbolism, and dread to tell its story. Now that I've finished the third season, my opinion has shifted — not wholly, but noticeably. The show is still good . Sometimes very good. But it also became frustrating, uneven, and less powerful than it could have been. June Osborne: From Survivor to Exhaustion Let’s talk about June (Elisabeth Moss, Mad Men ). I understand the idea behind her arc. She was meant to evolve — to become more confident, more assertive, more dangerous. A woman shaped by trauma who stops surviving and starts fighting back. On paper, it makes sense. On screen, however, it often doesn’t work. June becomes reckless to the point of irresponsibility. She repeatedly puts others in danger without seeming to fully care about who might be caught in the crossfire. Her actions feel impuls...

A Surprisingly Delightful Journey Through the Galaxy

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy was already a favorite book of someone very close to me, but I wasn’t sure it would become my gem. I had also read several reviews claiming it wasn’t funny at all. That made me even more skeptical. Humor is subjective, after all — and clearly this book isn’t for everyone. But I gave it a try. And I was positively surprised. Reading the Ultimate Edition I picked up The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy , a special edition that includes: The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy The Restaurant at the End of the Universe Life, the Universe and Everything So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish Young Zaphod Plays It Safe Mostly Harmless I intend to read the remaining stories as soon as I can. If the first one is any indication, the journey through the rest of the galaxy will be just as strange — and just as thought-provoking. Absurdity as a Mirror of Humanity What struck me most is how full the story is of metaphors ...
