  1. I don't understand how studios keep letting Lindelof work on their movies. Everything he's written has gotten hammered over script issues.
  2. Early buzz is not good. They're calling it a soulless movie with too many characters, too many bad performances, and too much CGI. That said, it should do well on these forums.
  3. Brienne is heading south, so she almost certainly won't be around for that.
  4. From what I've been reading it was a constant laugh fest; and there are a few cut scenes showcasing more of their... relationship
  5. This episode gave a very WW2 Japan vibe to Windemere, and I dug that commentary. Fighting imperialism with imperialism, and feeling justified in their actions. Freeing other worlds from NUNS influence by oppressing and exploiting them. Very fanatical in their logic. Is it too on the nose? I'm not really sure.
  6. Not if he's meant to rule. Besides, all of the build up would have been for nothing if we never find out for sure. This is, of course, ignoring that GRRM said Jon would learn his true parentage before it's all said and done. I think the real question is what is going to happen once he knows? This could play out so many ways. Jon rules the Iron Throne. Jon is Luke to Dany's Leia, and is the champion while she is the ruler. Jon rules Westeros and Dany rules Essos, and their children rule the known world (which fits her prophecy). Jon learns his parentage, says nothing, and sacrifices himself to win the War for the Dawn (or, even going a step farther, Jon's sacrifice is becoming the Night's King in order to hold back the hordes of the undead).
  7. I'm not certain there are any gods. Is what we've seen of R'hllor and the Old Gods the work of gods, or simply a certain type of natural magic being tapped into? Do we even want to know? Is it not more interesting (and more realistic) to not know for sure?
  8. Your reading of Stannis and Mel in the book is very strange. It's pretty clear that Mel and her magic was behind all of it. Stannis was chosen by no one but Mel. As far as Azor Ahai goes, I'm beginning to think he is known by so many names across various cultures because he is not just one person. More of a gathering of heroes instead of just one hero.
  9. Any magic Stannis's sword had is the work of Mel. The Hodor stuff is straight from GRRM. Personally, I think the implications are pretty awesome. And the Martells are fantastic in the books.
  10. War, what we're seeing with Sansa is the lingering damage done to her by Littlefinger. It's still a chink in her armor. I suspect at some point this will come back to bite her.
  11. Looks like we still need a threat title name change.
  12. Stunned. Wrecked. Crying. That was episode 5 for me. I'm going to put this in spoiler tags because we appear to be the only active GoT thread on this forum, and book readers are in the same boat with the show watchers now. 24 hour spoiler tags is probably not a bad idea for the benefit of both camps. Edit: Also
  13. This episode floored me and seriously shook me up. One of the great ones. More to say tomorrow.
  14. I went from having no interest to having interest. The trailer feels right.
