House of the Dragon: A Prequel Show

Game of Thrones concluded its run on May 19, 2019. As the show ended it seemed that every show wanted to be the next big Game of Thrones juggernaut that enjoyed the same prestige, popularity and critical acclaim that Game of Thrones once enjoyed.

HBO knew what it had with the original show and while the first attempt at a prequel didn’t pan out, a Targaryen centered show did. The first episode of House of the Dragon premiered on August 21st 2022. It is set nearly 200 years before the events of Game of Thrones, and was based on parts of Fire & Blood by George R. R. Martin.

The first season is about the lead up to a Targaryen civil war, “The Dance of the Dragon.” The reason for the war was over the issue of succession. The first ten episodes also span nearly twenty years and have many time skips.

Rating the Jewelry of Star Wars –  There  is Way More Than I Thought

Rating the Jewelry of Star Wars Movies
Princess Lea’s Silver Necklace, The Japor Snippet, and Qi’ra’s Gold Necklace

I consider myself a casual Star Wars Fan at best. I seen the movies and I watched like two of the shows. Andor was great, it’s the only one I finished watching. However while there was a period in my life when I really loved the franchise nowadays I’m more of back seat fan who will watch the new stuff if word of mouth is positive, which is why I watched Andor. 

But since it’s May The Fourth I got it in my head to do a Star Wars Post so here we are. And since I’m me and I love jewelry and studied jewelry fabrication for a time,  I thought let’s rate the jewelry from the Star Wars  movies – even Andor has lovely costumes. 

There were more than I initially thought. Like Way More.

Ranking the Songs from The Swan Princess

Ranking the Songs from "The Swan Princess" Odette "Far Longer than Forever"
Odette singing “Far Longer than Forever”

If I’m being honest when I got the idea to do these song ranking posts this was the movie/soundtrack  that inspired it. Not sure why but it was this movie that prompted me to start this series. However other movies’ soundtrack got in the way due to holidays or it just seemed like good timing and it made me delay this one but no more I say.

Today I shall realize my previous ambition, such as it is, and rank the song offerings from the 1994 animated Princess movie based on a ballet, “The Swan Princess.”

The Viscountess

Costume Designers: John Glaser, George Sayer & Dougie Hawkes

This post is going to be a little different in tone from my other Bridgerton ones. 

One of the major pitfalls of Bridgerton is that after a Bridgerton sibling has their leading season their roles in the show are is diminished -this also extends to their love interest as well. This comes at the expense of characters having to their development stagnant while waiting for their season, this mostly has only really impacted Eloise.

Season four of Netflix’s hit Regency Romance dropped in two parts in early 2026. The fourth Season follows the third book in Julia Quinn’s Bridgerton series  “An Offer from a Gentleman” focusing on Benedict‘s romance with Sophie, a maid. 

While Bridgerton has seasonal leads the show takes a lot of liberties with book narratives creating an ensemble piece with side-plots for many of the characters as well as setting-up leads for the future seasons.  One of these characters  who needs some major set up before taking a staring role is Michaela Stirling, Francesca’s cousin-in-law.
