When HBO announced a GoT Prequel House of the Dragon (HotD), which premiered on August 21, I was skeptical. The prequel takes place 300 years before the first season — but how would it avoid the problems that occurred at the end of GoT? What would make HotD a success, when the ending of GoT failed?

On the unnecessary extra seasons that destroy perfectly good franchises.

The 2010s were dominated by the MCU, along with two other franchises that either have come or will come to an end in 2019: “Game of Thrones” and the “Star Wars” movies. Their example is one of how things used to be, not a sign of changing times. As Kylo Ren says in “The Last Jedi,” “Let the past die.”

Sept. 22, 2019: the night of the Emmys. Often called “TV’s biggest night,” once a year television’s elite get together and duke it out amongst the glitz and glamor for the title of best of the best in comedy, drama, reality TV, limited series and a host of other categories related to television production.

If you missed Sunday’s Emmy awards, here’s the quick lowdown.

This summer, TV and film experienced a boom of content. But, alas, not all of this entertainment is worth the watch. Cadenza staff is here to sift through all the visual content and pick for you what to watch—and what to skip.

‘Star Trek,’ ‘Firefly’ and ‘Battlestar Galactica,’ read… ‘Redshirts: A Novel with Three Codas’ by John Scalzi Scalzi is one of my favorite authors because of his offbeat, hysterically funny approach to the genre of science fiction. “Redshirts” is a stand-alone novel that satirizes the tropes of “Star Trek” in a brilliant and sneakily existential way.

On Sunday, Sep. 29, avid fans of the hit show “Breaking Bad” gathered in Ursa’s Stageside to watch the series’ final episode. Students who wished to watch the highly anticipated last episode of the award-winning show were welcome to sit in lounge chairs and watch the show live on a projector screen.

Cadenza predicts the Emmys The Emmys are this Sunday, Sept. 22, and in case you don’t have time to catch up on all the quality nominees, we’ve got rundowns of every major category. Will reigning champion “Homeland” continue its domination of the drama awards? Or will resurgent former favorites like “Breaking Bad” and “Mad Men” make a comeback?

Get ready. For winter. It’s coming. By winter, I mean the third and highly anticipated season of HBO’s “Game of Thrones” (GOT). Based on the book series of the same name, HBO’s version is known for its usage of highly visceral images, be it through nudity, violence or facial hair.
