GOT S8 Ep3 : "The Long Night"


This is a review of Game of Thrones episode "The Long Night" Season 8. This post contains spoilers and don't read anymore if you haven't seen that episode and choose not to find out anything yet.
So the army of the dead have arrived, and everyone is preparing for the ultimate war. It's dark, and the Dothraki are the first on the frontline to go ahead. They ride their horses after an impressive scene and along with them are Jorah and Ghost. It feels creepy when they vanish and only few horses return. Everything is set at night in the dark. The Night King sent up clouds of ice fog so the dragons with their riders Daenerys and Jon Snow can't see. The rest of the episode is fully fighting with some real shocks and, of course, many unfortunate and sad deaths.
This episode was just a massive war zone.
Howls ^^

GOT S8 Ep 2: "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms"


Here is my quick review of Episode 2 of Season 8 "Game of Thrones" so if you dislike spoilers, avoid reading. The show is produced by HBO and this episode was directed by David Nutter.
The episode continues from last week, and Jaime Lannister is in the great hall at Winterfell before an audience including Sansa, Jon and Daenerys. Daenerys reminds Jaime of how she and her brother talked about killing the man who killed their father. The atmosphere grows tense, and not just with that because overall things are easily settled and both Sansa and Jon agree to let Jaime fight for the living. Daenerys often seems to be at loggerheads with Sansa and yet Sansa is loyal to her family and the north, which she's also responsible for.
Arya wanted Gendry to make an obsidion weapon for her, but to be honest, its dragonglass, not metal, and it was mentioned by other fans of the show that glass forging is entirely different to metalwork smithing. Okay Arya was flirting with Gendry last episode and there seems a lot of sparks flying, now Arya is a grown woman and not a kid as she was seasons back when she was with Gendry in earlier episodes years ago.
Tormund arrives and there is a scene on the battlements as the Watch remembers. Everyone is now fully equipped and preparing for the great war.
My ratings don't matter. What counts is that this episode is fun.
Best things: Wait and see
Howls ^^

Patience Worth


Here is a mystery from the early 20th Century about a suburban housewife from St Louis in Missouri. She was called Pearl Curran and her life had always been quite ordinary until she decided to use a Ouija board while having tea with her mother and friends. Back in the early 20th Century, it was fashionable to play with Ouija boards and dabble in the occult. Pearl might've been quite skeptical approaching this at first as she regarded it as "silly".
When the pointer announced the name of a spirit called Patience Worth, the women became excited about using the board for much longer. Pearl especially grew to enjoy communicating with Patience Worth, who identified herself as an English woman of the 17th Century. Pearl wrote literature while she was being channelled by this spirit. Some of the works by the spirit of Patience Worth include "Hope Trueblood," "Rain Song," and "The Sorry Tale."
For more of her writings go and visit this website:

A link to see other authors, including Pearl Curran a.k.a. Patience Worth, who wrote on behalf of ghosts and spirits:

For more info about this mystery go to:
Prairie Ghosts: Patience Worth 
My view:
This could all be a matter of overactive imagination or stepping into character mode. It might even be that a spirit wrote through Pearl and other spirits might've helped people create literature in the same way.
