Disappointingly for some, the first section of the book is Simone de Beauvoir explaining that she was often asked to summarise Existentialism during a trip to America when it cannot be done so simply. I thought this part was quite interesting as for a long time I felt frustrated when trying to read cert... | ['Psychology', 'Simone De Beauvoir', 'Philosophy', 'Existentialism', 'Life'] |
The ending was upsetting for me too but at least Arya ended up carving her own destiny and John Snow wasn’t crowned King although his brother wasn’t really the greatest idea of a king… Through they did kill some amazing characters and the author was a man and some of it was inspired by history where some rulers were ma... | ['Game of Thrones'] |
This article contains spoilers for the most recent episode of “Wandavision”, now streaming on Disney+.
“It’s Wanda. It’s all Wanda”.
The end of Episode 4 of Wandavision confirmed what many fans have been waiting to see. Wanda Maximoff has finally “snapped”. Aware of Wanda’s role in many comics, I also knew it was ine... | ['Game of Thrones', 'Marvel', 'Wandavision'] |
The second and final part of Vikings season 6 has been concluded just recently and fans are giving mixed reactions. Is Vikings Finale good? Does the Vikings ending satisfy its fans? Is it well enough to beat the final season of GOT that left its fans suspended in disappointment when the GOT series launched its final se... | ['Blog', 'Ragnar', 'Game of Thrones', 'Vikings', 'Articles'] |
The motive of leadership is woven into the very fabric of human society.

I am a long-time fan of the Game of Thrones universe (more precisely, the A Song of Ice and Fire universe) and also an enthusiast of the Latin language. I decided to bring both together with an epic poem, in a similar style of the Aeneid. Check out the recitation!
Why write it in the first place?

I have a bad feeling about this
It has been a long time since the last book in this series was released. A Dance With Dragons hit shelves in 2011, which is a decade ago, wtf, and since then we’ve gotten nearly 80 TV episodes, a couple vanity projects and history books, but not much else. Fans of the novels still wonde... | ['Game of Thrones', 'Televison', 'Fantasy', 'Essay', 'Books'] |
Winter is Here
Five hundred and ninety five days. When you write it out, it seems even more incredible. There are only 365 days in a year, and for fans of Game of Thrones we’ve waited nearly twice that, 595 days, to get to the beginning of the end. The last time a new episode aired was August 27, 2017. When the eighth... | ['Television', 'Entertainment', 'Pop Culture', 'Game of Thrones'] |

If only Chrome extensions were just another extension type for files 🤔
The final episode of Game of Thrones starts in a few days and I’m excited.

Decision Tree最著名的例子，是鐵達尼號的生存者預測或Iris花朵分類，第二個有名的大概就是看冰與火之歌中的角色是誰活到最後。雖然有滿多新聞報導，但關於如何實作的中文資料好像很少，趁著寫課堂作業，紀錄一下我（應該滿笨又不是很成熟的）的作法，希望看到這篇的人可以給我更多更好的建議。

Marvel studios moving towards the likes of DCEU and Dark Universe in terms of casting popular actors for their movies shows their lack of confidence in their upcoming projects.

Cersei Lannister, one of the major antagonists of this series, once said:
“When you play the game of thrones, you win or you die. There is no middle ground.”
These words have rung true throughout the series as we see many characters — both beloved and detested, perish during the multiple attempts to seize the Iron Th... | ['Malaysia', 'Constitutional Law', 'Game of Thrones'] |
