    'House of the Dragon' Season 3, Episode 6: The Game of Thrones

    It's almost like 'House of the Dragon' finally remembered how to play the game of thrones. With key characters making the competent moves Ebube always knew they were capable of, he returns to the fold to convene his council of competent analysts: Afam and Soonen. Now that Criston Cole's fate is sealed, they might have to find someone else they can love to hate. They begin with a full retrospective on the enigma that is Ser Criston (2:05) while praising Loni Peristere's impeccable directing (9:09). They then go on to discuss Alicent's new set of troubles (22:28), Rhaenyra's new stressors (32:10) and the chaos that was this week's Tumbleton storyline (44:50). They also talk about Baela's new groove (58:48), Alys' new moves (1:06:28) and what the heck is up with Corlys (1:18:13), among several other pressing matters. Does it get any better than this?

    MCU 12: No. 7 'Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 1' Introduces a New MCU Era

    A talking raccoon and a sentient tree?! When Marvel's 'Guardians of the Galaxy' hit theatres in 2014, it faced doubts from all angles, from Kree and Xandarians alike.

Some are saying that's really the most important part of its legacy.
