Gavin is the most reluctant Savior there is. “Don’t make me count to three! One... two... two and a half... two and three-quarters...”

I hope that we get a confrontation between Tara and Eugene at some point. They had gotten close, so I want to see him look her in the eyes and say they were nothing more than traveling companions.

Did Robert know that Lyanna ran off to get married? Or was he so arrogant and/or in love that he figured she would never leave him? Was there a Littlefinger Senior behind the scenes, pulling Robert’s strings?

I cannot disagree with any of these points, but one thing I was shocked they left out was the Beams. “All things serve the Beam.” What about the guardians? How does Roland know which way to go, since it isn’t like compasses work in his world? Following the path of the Beam is what leads them into about 80% of their…

Puppy! I thought Laura had said, “Hi, Papi.” You know, like calling him Daddy. I haven’t read the book in a long time, so didn’t remember if they had pet names for each other.

I’m a big fan of the books too, and admit I am a little disappointed. I am just going to remind myself that the movie is a different incarnation, and a separate thing from the books. Otherwise I’ll drive myself nuts comparing them.

Do we know what Negan did before the world fell apart? I always imagined him stuck in some unsatisfying middle management job with a tiny office without windows. While it’s no excuse, it might explain why he enjoys going around beating people with a bat.

Before the break, when Morgan and Rick were looking for Carol, they found the guy at the barn. After the guy ran away, he left behind a spear. Rick picked it up and said it looked like one that was made at Hilltop. They’ve shown something at Hilltop that looks like it could be a forge, but it’s always in the…

When they were at the cars with the explosives, didn’t they say they would move some of the cars and then put them back so the Saviors didn’t know they had been there? I was doped up on Nyquil, so maybe I misunderstood. Otherwise, I would think that the giant herd of walker parts scattered everywhere might just be a…

Father Gabe is still creepy, and almost fanatical in his faith in Rick. I think he is still somewhat unstable, too. So when he is the one making the most sense, things have gone wrong.

I feel like they had to do something like this with Carol, otherwise Negan would not be a credible threat. Don’t tell me that the Carol who blew up Terminus would not be doing the same thing if she knew Daryl was being held and tortured. They had to flip Carol into extreme pacifist mode and get her away from…

Negan is using classic narcissist abuse tactics. He’ll be nice for a while, but you never know what might make him blow up. He doesn’t want to hurt anyone, but they made him do it when they broke the rules. After he hurts them, everything will be okay and he loves them again. Sure, he beat your friend to death, but…

Don’t tell me that Negan is the only one to recognize that Father Gabriel is a little off-kilter. I’m waiting for his hero worship of Rick to blow up in everyone’s faces.

There were enough commercials that it started making it difficult to keep any interest in the story lines. I understand that they want to make money off of a popular show, but when people quit watching it live, it’s going to backfire.

The link to the Short of the Week is broken.

Let’s face it. Cersei was not a popular woman. She may have been one of the most disliked women in Westeros at the time of her walk of atonement. Things went downhill for her from there. When her trial came around, every highborn man and woman was probably crammed into the sept to watch her get her comeuppance. We…

Can we give a nod to Tommen’s actor, Dean-Charles Chapman? As the season went on, you could see the poor kid’s nerves get more frayed. After his proclamation that there would be no trails by combat, you could see how worn he was as he walked out of the throne room. The scene with Tommen watching the sept burn may have…

I’d be wiling to watch a couple of seasons of just the little Lady Mormont hour. I love that kid.

I’ve been watching and enjoying the show so far. I’ve never read the books, though. It feels like I am missing some stuff, mainly in the flashbacks. Would reading the books help with that, or can I get by without them and hope it is explained later? Like the flashback of the guy on the horse riding by the bodies in…

If I remember right, when Dany first went through the other cities, the dragons were still small. They were about the size of cats when the warlocks stole them and tried to imprison Dany. So the masters were probably still thinking of cute little dragons, not giant fire-breathing beasts bigger than a ship. The masters…
