In the books Jaime rejects a call for help from Cersei and sends Brienne on her mission with Oath Keeper. I honestly cannot envision that Jaime doing the same shit and will be super disappointed if that arc is fully repeated.

She liberates about as well as the United States.

Game of Thrones starts like twenty years after the death of the mad king, whatchu going on about.

If than fuck everything everywhere forever.

Dragonbone has been presented as a masterwork crafting material for the entire series up to and including using it to craft bows. Dany gifts such a bow to one of her Dothraki and it is mentioned how highly prized those bows are by the Dothraki given their superior quality.

Dragonbone from all the dragon skeletons in storage under the Red Keep. The Dothraki highly prize dragonbone bows so there's an in-universe connection in addition to some thematic synergy with using dragons to kill dragons.

I hadn't made the connection that iron was all but useless against the White Walkers and the throne of Westeros is literally an iron throne.

Ghost saving Jon's ass and dying in the process could have been for the same amount of money. Jon would not abandon Ghost. It goes against his character and it goes against all the wolf / wolf pack metaphor sprinkled through the series.

Mostly my impression of her as a villain to be was based on how much of what she touched turned to shit and a lot of what she touched turned to shit. "Do what you think is right, your ideas kinda suck, it doesn't work out super great, a bunch of people die terribly, repeat" is what I expect out...

As I said reading the books I always got a "she might be the villain" vibe from her but watching the show I didn't feel that at come across at all. If GRRM's cliff notes was "and then Dany turns heel after being pushed too far" that would leave us where we are - a path intended in the story that...

Similar to Littlefinger sending Sansa off to be railed by Ramsey I 100% do not believe Jon would do such a thing.

I always felt like Book Dany could easily become the primary antagonist as everything she touches turn to shit but Show Dany never gave me that impression. Show Dany arriving in Westeros and immediately jobbing several times to then now in this season job even more makes me think all her...

Reading the books I had always felt like Dany's arc could be that of the villain but that never came across in the show to me. Ice nor fire are gentle masters. edit - I haven't caught this episode yet but abandoning Ghost is another major thematic arc and narrative arc abandoned. Grey Wind knew...

Handing over your deck to be checked for the top 8 when you know your sleeves are bullshit is so fucking retarded I'm willing to entertain alternative explanations. Do you have to get the OK to resleeve or is there otherwise scrutiny from judges? The second I qualified for the top eight I'd be...

If you don't adjust your television's settings and the lighting level of the room for each show that you watch than you are a double peasant.

Gendry is a bastard with no proper lineage. Bastards are rarely legitimized in part due to the Blackfire Rebellions that wrecked shit up for generations. edit - I would expect Faceless Men to be sterile as well, likely from all the poisoning

In the show does Rob have the decree written up to legitimize Jon Snow? In the books it's drafted and I believe sent and is then never mentioned again.

On my reread of book five I skipped all the Dany chapters and Tirion chapters and it was legit good. Book four was still confusing the second time around.

This is how I feel as well from the prologue of the first book all the way up to the last moments we spend with Jon on the wall - all of this is petty squabbling as death approaches.

I'm sure this will match up to the original series' hard take downs on Eisenhower and not at all completely date the project.

One of my favorite little bits of the last book was the prologue where everyone on what's left of the Small Council is bullshitting about how that's just obviously Glegane walking around.

Reign of Fire is not bad at all but I do have a fondness for films with a goofy premise that don't wink at the camera.

The outcome I wanted was for Cersei to declare Sir Strong as her champion. The High Sparrow asks if anyone will fight for the church and a lowly gravedigger steps forward. In addition to the symmetry of the brothers as rivals each has, in their own way, died and returned. It doesn't really even...

She doesn't destroy it, she brings it back to life. In the books the ritual involves breathing fire in to the dead versus what we get in the show but I'm still expecting it to happen.

From my reading and my watching my impression is they're going to get crushed. I do like the opposite theory however quite a bit, glorious victory and a conclusion to the Night King's story before the march on King's Landing and reunification of the Seven Kingdoms, roll credits. But I think...

I've always felt the North was completely fucked. I've got to stick with that.

I always figured Ghost cost too much to animate all the time so he just sorta got phased out.

Reading the books way back when I was waiting for the walkers to be revealed as the only hope versus a psychotic Danny bent on burning everything everywhere. I did not think much of her. Pls no time manipulation

I don't know if it will manifest in the show but in the books the North really is super fucked. The Boltons in Winterfell are eating horses as there's no food and Ramsey destroyed all the greenhouses, the refugee crisis at the Wall is massive, fields have been burned, stores looted, Stannis is...

I was hoping this was Comic's really good.

This right here. It trashes his character.

The film's versions of It's a Good Life and Kick the Can are both pretty good. There were a period of time where quite a few anthology horror films got made even though the structure is often a bit hokey. Tales from the Crypt ended up taking the premise of Creepshow and Twilight Zone the Movie...

No battlegrounds at launch, meh. That subtracts a great deal of my interest in showing up day one.

Legends and Lore, 1984. I had this geezer orthodox Jewish philosophy teacher that had long winded discussions about belief in relation to godhood. My knowledge of DnD was of key use in participating in the discussion. Honestly, the idea that belief = power goes as far back as cave paintings.

If the new show shat on collectivism, atheism and totalitarianism as hard as the old show these people would bitch and moan endlessly. Give me a scene for scene shot for shot remake of The Obsolete Man, I fucking dare you.

It's not that he's a pussy, it's that he has a breakthrough at the end of the series and then that character growth is reset for the End of Evangelion where he goes mega super pussy mode as the world is ending. Make a fucking decision you fuck my god lying there is not a decision fuck. Then...

I blame a lot of that on the show running out of time. Danny should by all rights be just about fucking unstoppable given her troops, allies and resources. She's been put over super strong. Unfortunately the story needs her to job a bunch of times in a row to get things where they need to be...

Explaining the incentive while saying there isn't one is some high tier linguistics.

"But what do you even need that portal for" was a really dumb thing to say to your players.

You can raise your Clurg faction (the final turn in guy) with this quest Pickled Frogloks if he won't accept the turn in
