Gene was originally introduced as the guy giving Stan bootleg videos in season 2, I believe, before he was pulled into all the other stuff in S3.

I told myself I'd stop reading comments on here, and I don't want to be annoying and pedantic here, just thought you should know that large swaths of this season are still adapted from Books 4 and 5. The claims of it being completely off-book have been greatly exaggerated and likely won't fully come to pass until the…

Varys was ordered to try to kill her, but intentionally sent an incompetent assassin instead of a Faceless Man to fail in killing her and thus provoke Drogo's invasion of Westeros, which was his first plan for reinstating Targaryen rule.

Those are the six designated as the main protagonists by GRRM and guaranteed to survive until the endgame. Of them in the endgame, I'd put more money on Arya dying than anyone, she lacks the leadership that will be needed in the aftermath of the final battle.

The leader of the trio was credited as Lem Lemoncloak, a Brotherhood member who wasn't featured in their earlier appearances in season 3, and he used the words of the Lord of Light religion (Night is dark and full of terrors) which the Brotherhood follows under the Red Priest Thoros.

*Completely* do not remember that at all. I kind of drifted through ADWD, I suppose.

The comedian/actor who plays her is a butch lesbian, so as an adaptive choice it didn't surprise me, but I keep seeing people refer to allusions of interest in men in the books that I frankly didn't remember at all. Anyway, she could still be bi, yeah.

There aren't many circumstances where's not cast as gay.

Upon reflection it's more likely a Sailor Moon/general anime thing, but I was totally convinced that it was a DS9 homage to have a baseball episode wrapped up in the intense sci fi plot.

Andersen is a singular, idiosyncratic person whose many, many opinions one certainly doesn't need to agree with all of to appreciate what he did with that film. Lord knows I had my objections, but I was completely enraptured by the end nonetheless, and am super proud of the essay I wrote for my college class on it.

They don't have the right to do any solo Hulk movies, those still belong to Paramount, so they've been trying to figure out how to incorporate Planet Hulk into another character's movie for a while. If GOTG hadn't done nearly as well as it did, they would've greenlit the sequel as Planet Hulk instead of pushing it to…

To best represent anyone's feelings/opinion you'd have to ask them, I think, I don't want to put words in someone's mouth or do anything else that would mitigate it. I just know it's pretty commonly regarded as poorly written, transmisogynistic and overly from a cis-het perspective.

Every one I know besides myself. One out of two would be very weird in its specificity. No worries about clarifying, though.

I'm not of much use here, I've only seen the pilot so far. I know my brother liked the second season more. I've been continually torn about the show because literally every other transgirl I know hates it.

If I remember correctly, there were 12 surrounding the Night's King when he turned the baby into a Walker in his first appearance in S4E4, so there's at least 9 more. But I'll admit that they're more intimidating for their potentially endless zombie army (and hopefully those ice spiders!) than unto themselves.

This is the "experts" area, so I'm not worried about saying this, but just in case, this is technically a SPOILER, so I give a WARNING for anyone scrolling through here.

There's very little valyrian steel left in the world, and it's one of the few things that can kill White Walkers, as shown when Jon killed one at Hardhome with the valyrian steel sword that the previous Lord Commander gave to him.

He should get a kick out of the theatre level in Psychonauts.

The show slows itself down a lot and has a lot more breathing room in all the other seasons, I was more attached to Phil and Liz immediately but I can see where you're coming from. The 1st season is kind of an outlier relative to the rest of the show, though, in its pace and more episodic nature, so I'd say give S2 a…

The show's been in slow-burn mode for a long time, it will work out.
