I saw Avatar and Clash of the Titans with the same person. Needless to say, I've stopped seeing movies with him.

It is. I feel like it isn't getting a lot of play since it is coming to Netflix in a month. I was at a screening and really liked it. It's like if Blue Ruin were funny and female-led. Good comedy-gore and some big belly laughs.

As a southern Indiana native: Columbus is good for a driving tour, but don't linger too long. It is the breeding ground of Mike Pence after all. Drive through on the way to Bloomington.

I'd put good money down that Amelia will be back after Caterina Scorsone's maternity leave. They didn't make a big enough deal of her departure in this episode. I bet Mer and Owen and maybe Riggs go on a road trip to track her down.

After this discussion and reflecting on the images, I'm intrigued by what is going to happen to The Faith next season. The High Sparrow in his Christ pose, with his Pontius Pilate assuming the throne - what if it isn't Dany or Jon Snow or Arya or Jaime that gets her, but the massively popular Sparrow movement (which,…

She has to marry someone for political purposes regardless of her fertility. The only realms she has any hope of gaining owe allegiance to Jon (Vale, North, and, as soon as Arya gets there, the Riverlands). Never mind the Targaryen tradition of intermarrying.

Here's my theory: While Dany is sacking King's Landing, Bran makes it to Winterfell to tell Jon about his parents. Dany and Tyrion travel North when the Wall is breached. Jon's parentage solidifies his worth as a match and Jon and Dany marry (end of Season 7). Sidenote: Jon is the rightful heir, before Dany, as the…

That's a good point. I'm inclined to give Margaery more credit than that, but we will see.

I mean, it didn't really click for me until she passed the note, as I was more focused on the Seven-Pointed Star, but the point is well taken. The editing in that scene wasn't subtle at all. I'm more concerned that they pick one - visual cues or audio ones.

I absolutely loved the photography of the Margaery-Olenna-Septa Unella scene. In hindsight, the closeup of Margaery's hands is also setting us up for the bit of sleight of hand with the paper. "focus on her hands they're going to be important"

That is a really good point. If Bran knew what was going on, he would have…de-warged? Once he starts hearing the voices from the present, and especially when 3ER disappears, you see anxiety on his face.

That is a good point. We'll never know the degree to which that was Hodor or Bran. An interview with Kristian Nairn indicated that he had a sense that Hodor would do what he could to protect Bran in the end, but he was ultimately scared and needed the push to get moving. I'm interested in seeing what happens when Bran…

This. Ned was not going into near-certain death standing up for what he believed like Grenn, Syrio, Septa Mordane, Yoren, maybe Catelyn. Ned actually renegged on what he was standing up for (confessing his false claims against Joffrey as a condition of his "mercy"), and made a mistake in underestimating Joffrey's…

I'm not sure it was a hero's death. There was no sacrifice for another, and he went up there thinking he had a deal to take the Black.

I feel like that was the first truly tragic death At least the first hero's death. Right? So sad.

I can't really tell you why I'm so invested in Jorah making to Westeros other than he is the Connington sub. But here we are.

There was an interesting piece on Vox by Alex Prokop that asserts that Dany might end up being the villain, suggesting that her increasing violence/brutality puts her on a Mad King path rather than a Raegar path. So there is something to the fact that the Knot may not teach her anything. The point of her journey being…

I like this theory. Leave Slavers Bay/all of Essos, really, to Missandei and Grey Worm and this new little Khaleesi, as Dany and Tyrion ride their dragons to the North to pick up Jon and kill the White Walkers.

It's interesting, though, that she is going to have the same slavery-busting challenges with the Dothraki. Will she let the Dothraki take the Masters of Yunkai and Astapor into slavery as the lesser of evils? Burning all of slavers bay to the ground? WHO KNOWS!?

And as much as getting them to back him up, was their realization that they need to be careful around Tyrion. You could see on both their faces that they knew they were being used, but that it was of the utmost importance that they fall into line. I wonder if you'll see Missandei and Grey Worm step it up in their…
