Game Of Thrones: Blackwater Review

Game Of Thrones was one of the best fantasy shows on TV when it first debuted way back in the early 2010's. With the show mixing adult themes and situations with heart pounding action and heartbreaking deaths with the show being most famous for what would happen in it's nineth episode of each season as that would be where all the drama that the season had been leading up to would pay off with the same thing being true with the episode that i'm going to be talking to you all about today and so then join me as I review the episode that is the first episode of the show to just focus on one set of characters with the episode in question being called simply just "Blackwater" enjoy.

The plot of this episode is when Stannis and his men reach King's Landing by sea it's up to Tyrion and the Lannister army to defend the city or die trying. Now then terms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad as while yes this episodes plot is rather simple in nature that's all that it needed to be as the rest of the story was one that was being told all throughout the rest of this shows second season and therefor this episode isn't one that required that much of a deep plot as if your watching this episode then odds are you've watched the previous episodes as well and would therefor already know what the plot of this season is in the first place and to this episodes credit even tho it doesn't have much in the way of plot it does make up for it by giving us these really tense scenes with both Cersei and Sansa as they both contemplate the fact that they might now make it out of this war alive and while the episode does give alot of it's attention to it's main plot which is something that is rightfully so as the whole battle plot is what the whole second season had been building towards it was nice to see what could be considered the seasons B plot with Cersei and Sansa almost learning to trust each other get some spotlight as that was something that the makers of this episode didn't have to do and yet it's something that makes the main plot of this episode feel all the more real as now we get to see how the women feel about all of the fighting going on as well which was something that we barely got to see in this show with the plot of this episode also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this episode is Peter Dinklage as Tyrion Lannister and Lena Headey as Queen Cersei Lannister. Also starring in this episode is Charles Dance as Lord Tywin Lannister , Liam Cunningham as Ser Davos Seaworth , Jack Gleeson as King Joffrey Baratheon , Sophie Turner as Princess Sansa Stark , Rory McCann as Sandor Clegane , Stephen Dillane as Lord Stannis Baratheon , Jerome Flynn as Bronn , Conleth Hill as Lord Varys , Sibel Kekilli as Shae , Roy Dotrice as Wisdom Hallyne , Julian Glover as Grand Maester Pycelle , Eugene Simon as Ser Lancel Lannister , Kerr Logan as Matthos Seaworth , Finn Jones as Ser Loras Tyrell , Sahara Knite as Armeca , Tony Way as Dontos Hollard , Wilko Johnson as Ser Ilyn Payne , Callum Wharry as Prince Tommen Baratheon , Daniel Portman as Podrick Payne , Gordon Mahn as Ser Imry Florent and James Doran as Ser Mandon Moore.

Now then terms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. With this being something that wasn't really all that surprising as even in the bad episodes of this show there was always some really good acting in them with it being obvious that all of this episodes actors are a bunch of really good actors as they all act there hearts out in this episode something which couldn't have been easy due to the fact that this episode was filmed at night for several days or weeks straight with the best actor in the whole entire episode being a tie between Peter Dinklage and Lena Headey as they both do have scenes in this episode that show off just how wonderful of an actor that they both are be it Tyrion giving the troops a rousing speech after Joffrey leaves them to go and be with his mother or be it when Cersei tries to comfort her son near the end of the episode as she thinks that this is it for them and quietly prepares to spare her son getting brutally killed by essentially poisoning him all the while she has to put on this breathe face and act like everything is OK even when she knows that it might not be with the acting that's in this episode really being helped by the fact that the script for this episode is just so good that all this episodes actors have to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance will come out pf them naturally which is something that really does help to raise the overall quality of the acting that's in this very episode.

Doing the CGIA for this episode is the legends and the greats that are currently over at Pixomondo , Baked FX and MFX. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual CGI that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good with this episode perhaps more CGI heavy then what the rest of this season is as they do have to have to green screen in backgrounds for the characters that are on the boats to begin with as well of the wild fire that attacks the boats as well and while it might be obvious that they didn't really go out to sea to film the scenes on the boats the episodes overall quality of VFX is still quite high as alot of the episodes VFX do look really good with the makers of this episode going the extra mile by having the wildfire show up in the reflection of the sea which was something that they really didn't have to do and yet it's a small thin that helps to sell you on the effect as a whole and while of course they do use CGI for things like extended buildings and for making large armies of people in the episode that is a great way to use CGI ad then there only using it to create something that they wouldn't have been able to do on the day of filming and while it's obvious that the episodes effects budget was one of the things that got cut down in order to make this episode happen in the first place we still did manage to get some really good looking VFX that more then hold up all of these later and while yes granted this episodes VFX aren't as good s the effects that we see in TV shows today these are still some really good looking effects in their own right.

With this show of course being a drama that does mean that we do get a good dose of drama in this episode. Alot of which does work given the fact that all of the make characters are about to go off to war and thus every ones emotions are of course going to be heightened and yet at the same time tho there is some bits of drama that we really didn't need in this episode like for example we didn't need to see the scene between Bron and The Hound as that's not something that plays a part in the plot of this episode with it feeling like it was added in at the last might just to give both Jerome Flynn and Rory McCann a little bit more to do in the episode when it would have made more sense to have there scene play out the same way in either the previous or in the following episode and while it could be argued that the scene with Sansa and Joffrey wasn't needed for that exact same reason it could also be argued that there scene together was needed as they are meant to be betrothed to each other therefor it does make sense that she would want to go and see him off before he goes of to war even if he is fighting a war against her own brother and if anything the episode might have been made all the more better if we got to see more scenes with them together as then we'd get to see just how more sick and twisted that Joffrey is now that he's on the edge of a war as that is something that would make him a more dangerous person and heck it could even be argued that he is more dangerous then what Daenerys was as Joffrey is a character that only looks out for number 1 and is willing to do these sick and twisted things just because it's fun for him whereas with Daenerys she was pushed to the point of killing people and wasn't already at that point.

What is something that would have made this episode be that little bit better was if they didn't show Tywin coming in at the end of the episode. As then they could have had this big cliffhanger ending with all of us wondering if these characters are going to make it out alive or not which given the fact that this season of the show was made before streaming was really a thing was something that would have been a boost for next weeks ratings and yet for one reason or another they decided to show him coming in at the end of the episode as a literal knight in shining in armour to save his kids which is something that does rob the scene of any tension as they very easily could have had appear just in silhouette form and got those exact same results and while yes it is a small thing to say about this episode but it's the small things that do make all of the difference as given that this was the second to last episode of the season then the makers of this show could have used that to build up hype for the next episode as then us the audience and those who hadn't read the books would be left wondering if the characters survived or not and while it does make sense for them to show him saving his kids and grandkids in this episode as this episode is meant to be all about the Battle of Blackwater it still would have been if the makers of this episode took advantage of the fact that this is a TV show much like how in book form they could have ended that exact same scene without revealing that he saved them until the start of there next chapter and while yes we do get some deaths in this episode none of them are major characters deaths which is something that could be seen as being a bad thing but given that not alot of the main characters actively took part in the battle it is also something that does make sense.

There was one scene that really did stand out for me personally and it's not got anything to do with the main battle at least not directly . As the scene that stood out to me as the ending scene between Cersei and Tommen as in that scene it's just Cersei trying to calm down him down while the war is going on outside which might not seem like much but when you take into account that that scene isn't just one character trying to calm another down it's rather a mother trying to calm down her son while she knows that her world is crumbling all around her and yet she still has to put on this brave face and tell him this somewhat happy story that is what makes the scene standout as it would have been super easy and really in character for Cersei to just tell it like it is as she's pretty drunk at that time but because of the fact that she does care for all of her kids something that we've seen all throughout the show she instead just puts him on her knee , talks to him calmly and tells him a story to try and calm him down and ease his worries and yet at the same time she knows that if they loose that war both she and her son are good as well dead and so she takes measures to kill her son as a mercy killing something which we saw her get ready at the start of the episode with it being done because of the fact that if she didn't perform that act of mercy on her son then the invaders wouldn't do it and therefor she did make the hardest choice that any mother would have to make and thankfully she didn't have to kill Tommen but it's the fact that she was willing to kill him in regardless of if she had any poison left for herself that makes that scene stand out.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly fifty four minuets and twenty seven seconds. With this pretty much being the bogstandard running time of this show and to be fair to this episode this is an episode that really did need that amount of running time in order to tell it's story in a way that does justice to it's plot as if this episode was more like forty five minuets then that would mean having alot of the really good stuff in the episode getting out thus leaving the episode and it's plot a bit of a mess with this episode having the ight amount of plot there to really cover that amount of running time and while the episode doesn't rally take the time to fully develop it's plot in all fairness this time around it really doesn't need to as we have the previous eight episodes to do all of that and given the fact that this is a TV show it wouldn't make sense for them to have a well developed plot given the fact that this episode is meant to be paying of a plot line and not starting with the same thing even being true for the characters lack of character development as the show would have had a lot of other episodes to give there characters the character development that they really did need but in saying this tho the episode would have been all the more better if there was more plot development and if there was more character development in this episode as then it would make the episode feel all the more well thought and would make those pointless scenes with Bronn and The Hound now have some sort of meaning as they very easily could have had some character development take place in those scenes but I really will admit that this episode really does have some really good pacing to it tho.

So now then as this is an action show that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. With the episode having some really good looking action in it which is something that does make alot of sense considering the fact that the episode is basically one long action scene with the fact that this episode is just focusing on this one big battle being something that does make the action all the more impactful as now the episode can't do what the show would normally do and cut away to another plot line with other characters as now it has to focus all of it's attention on this big battle with the best action scene in the whole entire episode being the battle itself as we get to see alot of what it is that makes the battle sand out in the first place as we get to see the characters on both sides of the conflict making plans to try and outwit each other and we get to see how in a battle it doesn't matter if you make plans or not because one wrong move really can send all of those plans flying out of the window which is what we get when Tyrion bring the Wildfire into the mix something which Stannis and his men never thought of which means that they now have to think on there feet and when Joffrey essentially runs away from the battle Tyrion the remaining Lannister men now have to do the exact same thing which is something that makes the whole battle be all the more intense and just flat out cool then what it really had any right to be in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall with House Of The Dragon season 3 gearing up for it's big battle it really was fun to go back and watch this episode as this episode is a good example of just how much fun that a battle in this world can look like as that's just how good that this episode really is in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now the  i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that means that this very episode really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 9 out of 10 from me.

Now the as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally sued in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from Tenor , A Wiki Of Ice And Fire , IMP Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from these very episode that I used in this very post being the really great Google Images really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from these very episode with alot of them really being really better quality then what you'd really think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on Google Images really are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

My SPOILER FREE First Impressions of Scrubs

Finally after not only years of waiting after the dreadful ninth and final season of the show we can now officially say that Scrubs is back on the air. As the first two episodes of this show which really is being billed as both a revival of the original show and the next season of the original show as well and well you all just knew that I had to check out these two episodes the very first chance that I got and so then join me as I give you my SPOILER FREE first impressions of the show that sees our favorite nurses and doctors return older but none the wiser with the show in question being called simply just "Scrubs" enjoy.

The plots of these first two episodes is in "My Return" J.D. finds himself back at his old hospital when a patient is admitted there and when he's there he gets offered a job that he can't possibly refuse and in "My 2nd First Day" J.D has to learn then in his job he won't be able to please everyone. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episode was in all honesty really good with both episodes having plots that get us used to the new status quo for the rest of the season whilst also introducing new fans to this wacky and crazy show and while the plot of the second episode is a little thin with it also being a carbon copy of the plot from an episode back in season eight it is still a really good plot as while episode one dd have alot of heavy lifting to do as it had to explain to new fans who these characters and then tell the older fans where they are now in there lives and in there careers episode two's plot was allowed to be alot more fun due to the fact that all of the heavy lifting was done in the first episode but in saying this tho "My Return" definitely had the more stronger of the two plots tho something which just wasn't the case with episode two and yet the same time the plot for episode didn't really suffer because of it as it did feel more like classic Scrubs something which is something that could be said for the first episode as well with the plots of both of these episode being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 

Starring in these episodes is the first episodes director and one of this shows executive producers Zach Braff as Dr. John "J.D." Dorian and one of this shows executive producers Sarah Chalke as Dr. Elliot Reid. Also starring in this episodes is one of this shows executive producers Donald Faison as Dr. Chris Turk , John C. McGinley as Dr. Perry Cox , Judy Reyes as Nurse Carla Espinosa , Robert Maschio as Dr. "The" Todd Quinlan , Phill Lewis as Dr. Hooch , Vanessa Bayer as Sibby Wilson , Joel Kim Booster as Dr. Kevin Park , Ava Bunn as Sam Tosh , Jacob Dudman as Asher Green , David Gridley as Blake Lewis , Layla Mohammadi as Amara Hadi and Amanda Morrow as Dashana Trainor.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episode was in all honesty really good. With al of these episodes actors turning in some really good performances with all of the returning actors even those that just appear in cameos throughout these two opening episodes slip right back into character almost as if they just got through playing them yesterday with it being painfully obvious that all of the original series actors still have this wonderful chemistry together which is something that was to be expected from both Zach Braff and Donald Faison as they did become best friends after the show started and even have a podcast together and while the acting does somewhat dip when it comes to the shows more newer characters this is to be expected as they are still trying to find there characters with the best actor in both of these episodes being Donald Faison as he gets this really deep and emotional speech in episode one that just pulls of so well with it working because of the fact that we the audience had had years to get to know his character with his performance in both of these episodes being a true masterclass of acting with the acting that's in these episodes really being helped by the fact that the scripts for both of these episodes was just so good that all these episodes actors have to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance will come out f naturally as that's just how good that the acting is in these episodes.

Whilst it would be super easy to talk about the older characters this show is also going to live or die on if the shows newer characters are any good or not. As alot of people will know if they like the older characters due to having spent years with them in the previous seasons and yet we are only just now meeting these new characters ad to eb fair the new characters so far do seem to be pretty good characters and while it will yes of course be to early to tell on if there good characters that people will like it or not as these are only the first two episodes of the show right now things are looking good as they are a pretty entertaining bunch of characters with alot of them even getting the spotlight in the first episode and while of curse people are going to like the older characters alot more then the newer ones it is still nice to see that this show can still give us good and more importantly funny new characters as these new characters to tackle modern day issues in ways that aren't as subtle as they would have been in the original show but are still pretty fun to see get tackled in the first episode and while of course it would have worked out really well if these first two episodes did have more older returning characters in it that is something that would then cause new fans to be put of by the show and therefor these first two episodes do have to strike that balance between giving us comedy gold with the older characters and also giving more dramatic moments with both the old and the new characters as that is the only way that this show would be able to survive as relying on nostalgia and call backs will get you so far before it starts to feel cheap.

Pretty much as was to be expected in the first episode there is alot of nostalgia to be found just un the first episode alone. As we do get alot of call backs to moments from the first episode of the original show and we of course get alot of returning characters as well all of which was fun to see as it reminds us older fans of why we loved Scrubs so much to begin with as it had that old school Scrubs feel to it something which could even be said for the second episode as well and the fact that they filmed this show in Vancouver and yet they made it look like the actual hospital that they used for filming of the original show is something that does help with that as it does make it feel like that this is the next season of the show with everything looking just how you remember it looking back in the early 2000's and yet at the same time these episodes do now that you can't just relay on people's nostalgia as while yes it was great to see more modernized version of the shows iconic intro complete with the original theme song there are also alot of new elements that help to make the show feel new again as outside of all of the new characters alot of which are going to become fan favorites we also get to see different parts of the hospital that we never got to see in the original as the whole show was filmed inside one disused hospital which does mean that we never got to see alot more of the hospitals other rooms yet that's something that we got to see in episode two of this show with us even getting to see some small amount of gore something which would never have been seen in the original show yet because of the fact that this show is also airing on Hulu it means that we can now see it and it's these types of new things that will hopefully keep people coming back for more episodes.

Without giving away to much of what's happened to alot of the returning characters there are some things that just don't work in these first two episodes. With it being reveled in episode one that J.D. and Elliot got divorced which does mean that we're most likely getting there love story told all over again which was something that was played out by the end of the shows eighth season and it's something alot of the older fans might not want to see told to us again in this new season as we've already seen that story several times over in several of the past seasons of the show with it being something that doesn't make sense as we do find out that J.D now has a daughter who could be Elliots kid with another thing that doesn't work being the fact that it does seem like they toned down The Todd when if anything this character should have been kept the exact same way as the whole joke with his character is the fact that everyone in the hospital knows that he's a pig and yet he himself doesn't know that therefor it make no sense for him to become this toned down character but in saying that the only way that you could do this character in this day and age would be this more toned down version as the original version of the character just wouldn't fly with today's audience yet there still should have been some effort to make him still be himself and yet also be a character that the audience of today might not hate as they won't know the main joke with his character they'll just know him from the few appearances that he makes in these two episodes ad that's really it and while yes there is a chance that we get to see more of the old Todd in future episodes it is something that we should have seen in these first two episodes as he is well liked side character.

As with the original show both of the first two episodes of this new season do find a way to balance both comedy and drama really well. With both of the episodes having lots of moments that will make you laugh out loud but then especially in episode one there will be a moment where a character gets to see something that's really dramatic and it works really well as it feels perfectly true to who that character is with the best example of this being Turk as again without giving away to much he does get to say that he's feeling burnt out after spending many years at working at the hospital and not really having anyone there to just laugh with and have fun which was a really sweet moment as it does feel true to who he is as a character as while yes he does get alot of the shows more funny moments he does also have this softer side that very rarely if ever comes out which makes it all the more special and dramatic when it does come out and given the fact that he spent alot of season 9 without his best friend and just working at a teaching hospital it does make sense that he would start to feel burnt out something that it could be argued is made worse by the fact that he only has daughters and no sons which might seem odd to say but Turk is the kind of character who could old really open up when he's around J.D and given that he hasn't seen him for years at least not fully then it does make sense that he would feel burnt out with that being something that alot of people do start to feel at somepoint in their lives and it's not just Turk either as the one of the new interns without knowing it causes a patient to die something which he does blame himself for with it taking all of the new interns to come around and tell him that there was nothing that he could do to help make him feel all right again.

Now then episode one of this show has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty two minuets and twenty seven seconds whilst episode two of this show has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty minuets and forty six seconds. With both of these episodes having some really solid running times to them as those are the running times that you'd expect to find in a classic episode of the show as well with both of these episodes having the right amount of plot there to cover there respective running times and yet in saying this episode episode one doesn't really use it's running time all the wisely as the episode spends alot of time in telling what the characters have been up to rather then giving us a well developed which granted was something that was always going to be an issue with episode two not really having that problem as that episode has more of a well developed plot with this being because of the fact that the first episode did alot of the heavy lifting and therefor episode two would have had more room to develop it's plot and yet both of the episodes don't take the time to fully develop any of the characters which is fair enough for the returning characters as they had all of the previous seasons to get there character development and yet none of the new characters get nothing in the way of character development which you could argue is fair enough as this is the only start of this new season and therefor there of course not going to be getting any character development in these two episodes it still would have been nice if they got something in the way of character development but I really will admit that these two episode really do have some really good pacing to tho them.

So now then as this is a comedy that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in these very episodes was in all honesty really good. With both of these episodes having jokes that are laugh out loud funny as they all feel true to the episodes characters as well as the spirit of the original show with these new episodes retaining the original shows wit with both of the episodes retaining the original shows wit and style of humor by making great use of dream sequences all of which do really well in these episodes with the best joke in both of the episodes being when J.D and Carla first meet back up with her asking him if Turk knows that he's there something which J.D denies only for the episode to cut to Turk sniffing out that J.D is there which is a funny joke as it is something that either character would do as it's something that does highlight just how much that they love each other as friends with even the new interns getting some really funny moments as well which is something that does make them out to be really funny characters as well with all of the characters across both of the episodes having at least one joke that is laugh out loud which is something that was unexpected and yet it was something that did make both of these episodes be all the more funnier then what they really should have really been with all of the jokes in these episodes really making the show feel alot more classic Scrubs as that's how well that all of these episodes jokes really are in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 

Overall no matter how bad these new episodes turn out to be they can't be any worse then the whole of season 9 as that season was just an awful season f this show with these new episodes doing a fantastic job of reminding us of just why Scrubs was so good in the first place in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in these very episodes in this very post and as this is only my first impressions of this revival there won't be a rating given but if i'm still watching the show when the final episode airs then I will do a review of the revival as a whole.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very post well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very post from Amazon . Co . Uk , IMP Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from these very episodes that I used in this very post being the really great Google Images really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from these very episodes with alot of them really being really better quality then what you'd really think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on Google Images really are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms TV Series SPOILER FREE Review

Game Of Thrones was a show that really captured the worlds imagination so much so that when the TV series ended we got a prequel how House Of The Dragon and while the third season of that show is due next year. This year we got a brand new prequel with that show having just aired it's final episode and well I want to talk about it as the show is one that is worth talking about even taking into account that the episode has shorter running times and so then join me as I give you my SPOILER FREE review of the show that might need to change it's title after last nights amazing episode with the show in question being called simply just "A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms" enjoy.

The plot of this show is when he meets a young stable boy on his way to a jousting tournament in a local villain hedge knight Ser Duncan The Tall finds himself drawn into a world that only favors the rich and powerful. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty really good with the shows plot being delightfully simple enough for people to understand and follow along with whilst at the same time also being very much in the vain of both House Of The Dragon and Game Of Thrones with the only real difference being that this show does have a more lighthearted approach to it's plot that what either one of the above mentioned shows have which is something that does make alot of sense as this show is based off of short stories and that are more lighthearted in nature but in saying this tho the show does know when it to get more serious with it's storytelling as pretty much from episode four onwards there are jo jokes to be found in the show with the show instead turning very serious with it's plot which was something that does indeed work so well as the previous episodes have given us time to let us breathe in this world and to let the overarching plot of the shot simmer until finally being let out in the back three episodes with the plot of this show also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this show is Peter Claffey as Duncan The Tall , Dexter Sol Ansell as Aegon Targaryen and Bertie Carvel as Baelor Targaryen.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty really good. With this being something that was both kind of shocking to see and yet at the same time not all that shocking to see either it's not that shocking in the sense that this franchise has always had some really good acting in it and therefor of course this show will follow suite in this regard but it's also quite shocking as alot of this shows actors are either unknown actors or are at bet very little known actors either way it would have been foolish to expect great performances from the acting in this show and yet that's exactly what we got week after week with the best actor in his show being Dexter Sol Ansell as nobody expects a kid actor to be good and yet he's better then good in this show with the kid having a real talent for acting and if he does indeed chose to continue as an actor after this show wraps up in a few years time then he could really make it as an actor with Peter Claffey also being really good in this show as well as the pair of them just have this chemistry together that makes there friendship feel all the more believable with the pair of them turning in some really good performance in all six episodes of this show with the acting that's in this show really bein helped by the fact that the scripts for this show are just so good that all this shows shows actors have to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance will come out of them naturally which is something that really does help to raise the overall quality of the acting that's in this very show. 

This shows characters whilst they aren't better done then the characters in both Game Of Thrones and House Of The Dragon are till really well done in there own right. As they all do come across as being very well thought out characters with the best example being Duncan himself as ever tho we don't get to find out all that much about him until the fifth episode of the show we do get to see that he is a kind hearted character that just wants to earn some money to keep himself alive one night more with us the audience getting to see how kind that this character is when Aerion threatens a puppeteer that Duncan has befriended as without thinking about it he steps in and hits the prince just because of the fact that it was the right thing to do and with Egg we get a character who has a bit of a mouth on him something which we see does get him into trouble with Duncan alot of the time early on in the season but it is also something that does also help them out alot of the time as well and while yes the characters in Game Of Thrones for example are done alot mor better this is due to the fact that that show is based on a series of novels which does therefor mean that the characters have more of a chance to get across just what it is that there about whereas in this show as this show is based off of a series of short stories this means that the characters don't have that much of chance to show us much of there personalities but what little glimpses that we get to see of these characters is more then enough to support this first season of the show however if there are to be more returning character next series then the characters will need to be done alot more better and not fade into the background as much as they do in this first series.

One of the things that does set this show apart from both House Of The Dragon and Game Of Thrones is the fact that we get to see a genuine friendship develop between Egg and Duncan. As in the first episode they don't know each other with Duncan even threatening Egg at one point in that episode and yet due to the fact that hey both do kind of need each other with Egg needing Duncan to basically serve as a protector from his family and Duncan needing Egg as it gives him someone to talk to who will actually talk back to him and because of that the two of them are almost compelled to be with each other and to help each other out with this being something that does create a genuine bond between the pair of them with this being done so well that it is hard to picture this show without the pair of them in it and knowing where Egg ends up in Game Of Thrones it is interesting to think of where there character progress over the course of the show as it's clear in Game Of Thrones that there time together meant alot to Egg and the thought of seeing there bond go from people who are just friends to people who are essentially family is something that will make future seasons of the show all the more interesting as the show lives or dies based on the characters chemistry with each other and therefor if we the audience aren't able to buy into these characters as friends then the show doesn't work and yet because of the fact that the makers of this show really took there time in fully developing there bond so much so that by the end of the final episode your sad at the thought of no longer seeing them on a weekly basis and due to that there bond is one of the best things in the whole entire as it's a bond that feels real as everyone has that one person in there life that they couldn't do without much like how these two characters can't live without each other.

In somethin that could be seen as being a shocking move the whole of this first season of the show takes place in this one village called Ashford. Whilst this might seem claustrophobic it is something that does oddly work for the show as we do get to see the whole of the town which is something that makes the town feel more lived in and rea and while yes it would have been nice if we got to see more locations in the show as that is something that would have made the show feel alot more bigger then what it already is this is something that would also be a huge disservice to the show as the whole point of this show is to show things from the point of view of the poor people which is something that would only work if the show was limited to one location for the whole season and while yes we do get more locations in flashback form in the present day scenes it's just this one main location and the fact that the makers of this show went the extra mile and made sure that every tent that we see in the season had something going on inside of it is something that makes the season feel all the more special as that's something that they didn't have to do as they could have have just built part of the set and called it day but no they went the extra mile and built the entire village with there being next to no CGI used in the show as a whole and yet it still would have been nice if we got some geography for this village as it would have helped us to understand not only where certain things are in relation to each other but it also would have helped us to understand where certain characters are to each other as well as for all we could know Duncan might be sleeping close to the castle as there's nothing to tell us where he is in relation to the rest of the village.  

One of the things that this series might get alot of hate for is for episode five is done as for the past episode we were leading to this fight between Duncan and Aerion. Yet in episode five which is when the battle takes place not only do we not see it but alot of the episode is filled up with Duncan's backstory something which would have been better down in other episodes of the show as we don't want to see his backstory this late into the season as all that does is get in the way of something that we actually want to see with there fight even being a big plot point for the show as well as not only do we get the sudden death of a character at the end of that episode but we also get to see just how good of a fighter that Duncan is something which we hadn't get to see in the episodes before then and yet as the makers of the show struggled to fit in his backstory into the show something which could have been done if the first episode was one hour long with the rest of the episodes being as long as they are as then we the audience would get a strong sense of not only were Duncan started out but also get to see how far he's either fallen or risen on top of that and yet the makers of the show seemed to think that it was better to pretty much cut out the big action scene that the past few episodes had been building towards all for no good reason and heck we don't even get to see the tournament either as that happens off screen and the whole first season of this show was built around it but to be fair tho this is something that might have been done due to the fact that it might have been done that way in the books but what works for the books might not work well for the show and whilst this season did stick close to that first book it would have helped the season out if they did give us the things that we actually wanted to see instead of just hinting at them.

Now then this show has / had an exactly grand total running time of no longer then forty one minuets and forty one second with this episode having an exact grand total running tome of exactly thirty minuets and thirty nine seconds. With this being round about the running time for the rest of the show with the show getting alot of criticism from fans from having these shorter running times yet as mentioned before this show is based off of a series of short stories and therefor they can't do a full one hour episode every week as that would mean having at the very least thirty minuets an episode that is just pure filler at best with this episode having more then enough plot there to really cover that amount of running time in the first place an yet even so the episode really doesn't use it's running time all that wisely in one respect as the episode doesn't take the time to fully develop it's plot which is something that does kind of make sense as this episode is all about wrapping things up from the previous episode but even so the episode still should have taken it's time to actually develop it's plot as it did feel like that the characters were just doing things for the sake of doing them and not because of the fact that the plot of the episode demanded that they do it however to be fair tho the episode did take the time to fully develop it's characters however this is mainly due to the fact that the characters got all of there character development in other episodes and therefor were already something into this episode as fully formed characters in the first place but I really will admit that this episode really does have some really good pacing to it tho.

So now then as this is a comedy that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in tis very show well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very show was in all honesty really good. With this show having alot of really good jokes in it and while the jokes are all just Egg and Duncan talking to each other we do get some comedy gold from them be it either Duncan threatening to set the dogs on Egg only for Egg to point out that they don't have dogs in the first place or the opening joke of the first episode where the classic Game Of Thrones plays just before something happens and yet the shows best joke in the whole show is one that's in the final episode and it's one that's not going to be getting spoiled in this review as the joke is one that's laugh out loud funny with the show having alot of really good jokes in it all of which because of the fact that the makes of this show went the extra mile in making it's two mean lead character be these really likable people that you want to get to know more about and that you want to spend more time with which is something that does make there bater together be all the more funnier as they are jokes that you could picture characters like these two making which is something that really does make all of the joke in this show be all the more funnier then what they really should have been as by all rights the jokes in this show should have been really bad yet for one reason or another they all turned to be some really funny joke in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall if this season of the show was anything to go by then we are in for a treat next year when the show will be returning for a new season let us just hope however that the show does fix alot of the mistakes and things that people hated about the show in this season as they would have had the time to listen to what the fans want and taken the time to address them in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very show in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very show really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly an 8.5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well the boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from A Wiki Of Ice And Fire , Imp Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very show that I used in this very review being the really great Google Images really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from this very show with alot of them really being really better quality then what you'd really think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on Google Images really are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.

Scrubs: My Musical Review

We are now officially about three maybe four days away from Scrubs coming back on the air with new episodes. Which does mean that I wanted to produce a tie in review however with there being so many great episodes of the show that all blended together the shows signature blend of comedy and drama really well I think that i've found the perfect episode as it's one that has some really good jokes , some really good drama and some really good songs in it that are still bein viewed by the millions on Youtube to this day and so then join me as I review the episode that sees the characters make a big song and dance over a patient with the episode in question being called simply just "My Musical" enjoy.

The plot of this episode when a patient is brought to the hospital hearing everyone in her world singing the staff have to find out what's wrong with her. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good as while yes granted this episodes plot isn't the strongest Scrubs plot out there as there are better episodes that have stronger plots to them this is due to the fact the episode had to fit in ten songs in the space of a regular episode of the show and therefor of course the plot is going to come across as being all the more weaker as a result of it and in all fairness this episodes plot really didn't need to be that strong in the first place as it only needed to explain why the characters are now all of sudden singing and dancing and it did that in a way that felt true to the spirit of the show whilst also still very much being a Scrubs episode however it still would have been nice if the episode did take a break from a squeezing in a a song every few minuets and gave some time to it's plot as the plot of this episode is left feeling as more of an afterthought to the episodes songs when they two of them should have been working in tandem together with one supporting the other and yet this is something that doesn't happen due to the fact that the plot of this episode doesn't really get alot of focus with the plot of this episode being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 

Starring in this episode is Zach Braff as Dr. John 'J.D.' Dorian , Sarah Chalke as Dr. Elliot Reid and Donald Faison as Dr. Christopher Turk. Also starring in this episode is Neil Flynn as The Janitor , Ken Jenkins as Dr. Bob Kelso , John C. McGinley as Dr. Perry Cox , Judy Reyes as Nurse Carla Espinosa , Stephanie D'Abruzzo as Patti Miller , Johnny Kastl as Doug , Sam Lloyd as Ted Buckland , Robert Maschio as Dr. Todd Quinlan , Philip McNiven as Roy , George Miserlis as Crispin , Paul F. Perry as Randall , Aloma Wright as Nurse Roberts and Mike Schwartz as Lloyd.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. With this being something that's not really all that surprising as the shows was six seasons into it's mammoth nine season run at this point in time and therefor of course the acting in the episode is going to be top notch as all of the episodes barring the guest actors of course would have had alot of time to really get to know there characters and therefor they would know what kind of performance would best suit there respective character in any given scene with this being something that does come through in this episode as all of the actors truly do act there socks off in this episode with the best actor in this episode being Stephanie D'Abruzzo as Patti Miller as she has to step into this show and right away not only get the tone of the show but also get her character and get where her character is coming from and still sing some really good songs all the while she's got be funny as this is a comedy show afterall and still turn in a good performance and a lesser actor would have buckled under all of that but instead of buckling she thrived with her being the emotional core of the episode and while her performance won't cause people to break into tears like what Brendan Fraser did in his third episode on the show but she does do a really good job of making this character and this situation seem both believable and yet at the same time utterly heartbreaking as well with the acting that's in this very episode really being helped by the fact that the script for this episode is just so good that all this episodes actors have to do is just say the lines as they are written and a good performance will come out of them naturally which is something that really does help to raise the overall quality of the acting that's inn this very episode.

Character wise this episode does treat it's characters really well as all of the series regular characters do feel very in character. With this being something that does make alot of sense as the makers of this episode would of course know these characters inside out and therefor it would be easy for them to have these character be written in character but at the same time tho there seemed to be a focus on getting alot of the characters that we all know and love in the show in this one episode regardless on if it makes sense for them to be there or not as none of the doctors would be hanging around in the hospitals parking area just to great this one patient and neither would they be hanging around the hospitals main entrance due to the fact that they would be bust saving lives and performing operations on people and yet both of these things are things that happen in the episode and it just doesn't make sense both from a storytelling perspective and a character perspective but in saying this tho this episode is meant to be alot more goofy and fun and therefor the episode can get away with having the characters doing these things that they wouldn't normally do as it doesn't play that big of a role in the series overall arc with characters like J.D. and Turk for example not only getting more musical numbers but also more screen time when compared to characters like The Janitor for example who only gets to appear in other people's songs and has exactly zero lines of spoken dialog all throughout the episode this is despite the fact that he is consistently the funniest character in the show and yet in this episode they just have him appear in songs which yes does lead to some funny lines from him but they also feel like a huge disservice to his character.

Speaking of the episodes songs they were all written by Jeff Marx , Robert Lopez , this episodes writer Debra Fordham , Paul Perry and Doug Besterman. With all of the episodes songs being some really good corny songs that you could imagine being songs used in a broadway show with one of the things that helped to make this episodes songs be all the good being the fact that they got the guys who wrote the songs for Avenue Q to help write the songs for this episode which was something that they didn't have to do as the makers of this episode could have just written the songs themselves and called it a day but it's the fact that they went that extra mile which does show you that they put alot more thought and effort into the episodes songs then what was really necessary to do so and yet by doing so they give all of the episodes almost a broadway type of feel to them with songs like "Guy Love" and "When The Truth Comes Out" even being inspired by musicals as whole with "Guy Love" being inspired by huge bombastic love songs like the songs in "Jekyll & Hyde" and "When The Truth Comes Out" being inspired by both "Do You Hear the People Sing?" and "One Day More" both from Les Misérables with it even being hard to say just what the best song in the episode is as the song does have something for everyone as if you want a more dramatic song then there's "Friends Forever/What's Going to Happen" or if you want something that's more tongue in cheek and really lighthearted then there's "The Rant Song" with all of this films songs being oddly really well sung which for alot of this episodes was something that was really unexpected as while alot of us knew that Sam Lloyd was a good singer nobody knew that Zach Braff was a good singer and he kills it in this episode as he is a shockingly good singer.

What was something that was quite shocking to notice was the fact that the episode does commit to the idea of it only being when the characters are around this one patient that they start singing. As whenever this patient is nowhere to be seen there just talking as they normally would do and yet whenever she enters the frame even if it's just for a few seconds they start to sing which is a really subtle detail to include and yet it's one that is quite easy to miss alot of the time due to us the audience being so wrapped in the rest of the episode and yet it's something that does make this episode stand out from other musical themed episodes as while other shows that did musical episodes like Buffy and Xena for example can get away with having there characters singing and dancing for no reason as they could always blame it on the villain of the weak and it would work just as fine Scrubs isn't that kind of a show and therefor they have to do something that no other show would do when there tackling a musical episode that being to work out why the characters are singing in scenes when they would normally be talking and they do that in a great way just by having Patti Miller appear in the scene sometimes as a key person in the scene like she is in "The Rant Song" or sometimes it just as someone that's in the background like in "Gonna Miss You, Carla" yet that is such a commitment to the episode as it shows that the makers of this episode aren't treating there audience like there dumb and are instead treating them like there smart as the audience would pick up on the fact that the character that's meant to be seeing and hearing the characters singing isn't there and while yes there is one scene that does kind of go against that as they do a reprise on "Gonna Miss You, Carla" during the "When The Truth Comes Out" song but even then you could argue that the character was just outside the store room anyway and it would therefor still count.

If there's one thing that this show is known for it's for having these big dramatic moments come out of nowhere. With it being revealed in the ending of act 1 that the reason that Pattie can hear singing in her head is due to the fact that she has a gigantic aneurysm in her temporal lobe something which could cause her to die at any minuet with all of this being revealed during a song that could be considered a cheery song and yet it's that kind of emotional gut punch that the show is famous for with it being something that does work really well with the both the context of the episode and the song that it appears in as "When The Truth Comes Out" is all about certain characters trying to find a way to tell the truth about certain things to other characters with it being in that song where we find out just how serious that Patti's illness is and while yes granted the episode could have been better by having that emotional gut punch be done better as the episode is alot of focused on the characters personal lives then in giving us a truly emotional moment as when this show gives us a truly emotional moment it is something that does work really well as that's when the show truly puts in alot of thought and effort into it's emotional moments and yet here in this episode it felt like that the emotional moment in this episode wasn't given the grandeur that it needed as this is something that should have had the audience in floods of tears and yet it's not something works all that well with that also being because of the fact that the episode doesn't spend much of it's second act focusing on thar plot with it spending more time of the doctors own personal lives.

Now then this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly twenty three minuets and forty two seconds. Which is pretty much the exact grand total running time for the rest of this show and it's episodes as well with this episode having more then enough plot there to really cover that amount of running time in the first place and yet this episode doesn't use it's running time all that wisely as the episode doesn't take the time to fully develop it's plot which is kind of understandable given the number of songs that the episode does gave to fit in and still tell a good plot and while it could be argued that the episodes songs are used to develop the episodes which is something that would be a fair point to make as alot of the episodes plot is advanced through the songs there's nothing in the episodes songs that develop the episodes plot with the same thing also being true for the episodes as while the show is usually really good with giving it's characters character development alot of the time it happens over the course of several episodes which is why the characters aren't given much in the way of character development which is fine for the shows main characters due to the fact that they've had several episodes and seasons to get there character development but for the episodes guest characters it's not a good thing as they really should have gotten some character development heck we don't even find out Patti's first name in the episode with that being mentioned in the episodes credits an yet as the episode is alot more focused on giving us a song every few minuets which is fine for a feature film but not not a show that's just over twenty three minuets they leave us with guest characters that aren't that memorable or well developed for that matter but I really will admit that this episode really does have some really good pacing to to tho.

So now then as this is a comedy that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. With alot of the episodes comedy coming across in there songs as opposed to the shows more usual way of doing it's comedy as there are no dream sequences in this episode and The Janitor doesn't tell a wacky and funny story both of which are stables of the show and are usually great sources of comedy something would have been perfectly in keeping with the rest of this episodes more wacky and out there tone but it is also something that would have clashed with the episodes songs as well therefor having the more comedic moments happen in the episodes songs is something that does make alot of sense with the best joke in the whole entire episode being the song "Guy Love" as it's two guy best friends singing a love ballad about how much that they love each other which these days wouldn't be seen as being funny but back in 2006 it is something that would be considered a really funny joke and heck it's even a running joke in the show that the two of them act more like a married couple an actually married couples do with the rest of the episodes songs being filled to the brim with other funny moments with the best example of this being "The Rant Song" where Dr. Co goes on one his usual funny rants only now it's in a song done in the style of Gilbert and Sullivan which is a really good idea and it's one that works for this episode with this episode having alot of really funny jokes in it in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 

Overall this episode is just so good and while it's not as good as other more well known episodes of this show are this episode still does a really good job of balancing the episodes humor with these more dramatic moments and here hoping that the new season of the show manages to do the exact same thing as that is how you make Scrubs be as good as it could possibly be in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very episode really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly an 8 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and a well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from Amazon . Co . Uk , IMP Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get the images from this very episode that I used in this very review being the really great Google Images really simply just due to the fact that really alot of if not really all of the images that are all really from this very episode with alot of them really being really better quality then what you'd really think of and all of the images are really of course up and really on Google Images really are also really all fairly high in quality and as well as them all being really fairly freaking high in definition.
