'House Of The Dragon': Why Vhagar Is A Big Loss For Rhaenyra And The Blacks
WARNING: SPOILERS for House of the Dragon 1x07, 'Driftmark'. The simmering tension between Queen Alicent's Greens and Princess Rhaenyra's Blacks boils over in House of the Dragon's seventh episode. A disagreement over the ownership of the dragon Vhagar leads to a brawl, during which Rhaenyra's second son, Lucerys Velaryon, gouges out the eye of Alicent's own second son, Aemond Targaryen, when Aemond openly accuses Lucerys and his older brother, Jacaerys, of being the bastard children of the recently deceased heir to Harrenhal, Ser Harwin Strong.

Love is Strange Lacks Cohesion Despite Gay Marriage Injustice Portrayed
If you randomly get plopped down in a movie theater, there’s a real good chance that the barrier of faster than light travel has been breached, a car chase will defy the laws of physics or a superhero will fret his place in the world as he reluctantly avenges evil. But just because a movie is down to earth and leaves the screen free of an endless stream of pyrotechnics, doesn’t mean you got to fall all over it to show off your sophistication.

House of the Dragon Ep. 7
House of the Dragon has been on an upward swing as the show has gone on (thanks to more women involvement behind the camera). That said with the emergence of women who are treated as actual characters you get truly terrible people. Alicent is on my last damn nerve and Rhaenerya continues to have my heart, as we enter the latter half of the season curiosity builds as to where they are going to leave us. So here we go with episode 7…

Cyberpunk: Edgerunners Series Review
In 2020, one of the most highly anticipated video games of all time landed with a dull thud, let down by its poor technical state and hollow RPG mechanics. Be that as it may, CD Projekt Red, in collaboration with Studio Trigger, have pressed on to expand the game’s world and reach with Cyberpunk: Edgerunners. Many will be very surprised to learn that this ten-episode series is far better than the title that inspired it.

Review: "Don't Worry Darling"
Don’t Worry Darling has been on the wrong side of the internet for a long time leading up to its release in theaters for all the drama it has brought to Hollywood and its stars. Movies are supposed to bring drama, but the behind-the-scenes issues behind this film are almost laughable. Between the relationship between star and director Olivia Wilde and Harry Styles is a sore point, as well as the tension between Wilde and Florence Pugh. To go into all the rumors and drama behind the scenes would be more than enough to go into an entirely different article, but still worth mentioning as it will indeed affect how some view the film. At its core, Don’t Worry Darling is a psychological thriller that features some terrific work from its main star in Pugh as well as some incredible cinematography.
