GAME OF THRONES, 8.1 – ‘Winterfell’
The long wait is over. Game of Thrones is back for a six-part farewell season after 20 long months off-air. And, as is customary for many of the HBO show’s premieres, “Winterfell” didn’t offer enormous spectacle with jaw-dropping twists. But it was nevertheless surprisingly eventful and even rather humorous. The story reminded us where things…

STAR TREK: DISCOVERY, 2.12 – ‘Through the Valley of Shadows’
Season 2 of Star Trek: Discovery has been an improvement on the first, which I still liked, but as we approach the finale there are growing signs the writers don’t quite know how to answer the questions raised in the first half. Or if they do have answers, not many of them seem very convincing…
