After freeing the slaves of Astapor and Yunkai, Daenerys Targaryen added another title to her already impressive list of names, “Breaker of Chains.”   Based on this information, it seemed like this episode would feature Danenerys arriving at Mereen, ready to free more slaves.

Review: by Kendrick

I happened upon this series completely by accident, and it could not have been a happier coincidence. But as a die hard Star Trek fan, I had mixed feelings about this entire endeavor; I was ecstatic that anyone is doing any thing with Star Trek, but, after the failures that I believe Star Trek: Enterprise and the new J.J. Abrams Star Trek movies were, I had little hope that I would be satisfied by anything that was both new and trek.

Review: by GG

Fair warning: This show is essentially about politics. It is also rated MA, so it included some nudity, sexual scenes, profanity, and drug use. I was not sure I would be interested in this show, but I had heard some good things about it; so, I decided to give it a try.
