Sounds like S3 should just be a crude remake of the original movie to make up for that.

I didn't hate Iron Fist - it definitely could have used better plotting as a lot of the late season developments came out of nowhere and the early season stuff never led anywhere but it featured a lot of good characters. Colleen Wing is probably one of the better Netflix Marvel characters overall, both Harold Meachum…

There is literally a swipe directed at Iron Fist in every single paragraph of this review - was that really necessary? It really made this review useless to me as it seems like the writer put a bunch of superlatives to fit around the next insult they had planned for Danny Rand.

If you counted Olenna as part of her forces, I think it's fair.

It was a good scene IMO and puts Gendry in a far more interesting role. The pacing of him joining Jon is too quick but that's just an unfortunate consequence of the shorter seasons which really seem like a mistake to me.

They had just sacked their "homeland"…there were no good guys in that battle.

I would finish the episode…because you're missing the scene where Gendry insists on not being sidelined as a smith, as Davos' intended, and joining Jon and uses the old friendship between Robert and Ned to convince Jon they should fight together.

It's as if the writers were aware of the memes.

I could be remembering the books wrong but I don't ever remember Rhaegar acting in a manner to avoid the Mad King's wrath. Hell you could argue the whole business with Lyanna was Rhawgar doing whatever he wanted to.

Yea I guess. But having characters make perfect decisions isn't better writing IMO.

I think the point is to convince both Dany and Cersei to stop fighting each other so Westoros is united against the White Walkers. It wouldn't help anyone if Dany alone supported Jon while Cersei and Euron continued to sabotage and attack them.

C'mon dude…this is the experts review. Meaning it's full of people who read the books and came up with the theory of Jon actually being a legit Targ back like a decade ago.

"but how the hell do you annul a marriage that produced two kids"

What would have been the point with Rhaegar and Lyanna both dead by the end of the war? It isn't like he knew Jon Snow was their kid.

Next week on Game of Thrones, previously unseen cousin Jimmy shows up to Winterfell to pull cute hijinks!

Man…Game of Thrones really went all out to assemble their gang of Inglorious Bastards this episode.

You're likely not the only one but your personal likes or dislikes don't really matter much when it comes to assessing the impact of this move because plenty of people do care.

People have been saying fatigue has set in for literally years only to be proven wrong by box office grosses. Maybe wait until this movie doesn't do well before making this a gender or race thing?

May I humbly present Mitchell Mayo - the Condiment King?

Whoever is setting the odds here continues to be terrible at it. The Tarlys aren't main characters and are incredibly expendable - IMO if they show up in this episode they die. That they have lesser odds than Tormund makes them the best bet to me.
