Is it wrong I thought C-3PO would have gotten a kick out of it?

"drinking and joking is a cornerstone of civilization."

She'll always be Princess to me.

Indeed. It was pretty clear that book-Shae was far more interested in what Tyrion could do for her than she was in him as a person. She never loved him.

I had to look up and check the site because I thought maybe I'd somehow wandered onto Jalopnik.

I don't think the distinction is necessary - she was Queen Elizabeth. If HBC had been portraying the current monarch she would (or should) have been referred to as Queen Elizabeth II.

One of my favorite films. HBC will always be Lucy Honeychurch to me.

But that's clearly not the intent. If anything, a remake/reboot is piggybacking on the success of and reigniting interest in the original. It's all about making money. New Coke is a poor analogy, as that actually was intended to replace the original Coke (unless you believe in conspiracy theories). They were actually

When I first saw Sleepy Hollow, I thought his performance was…well, it was not what I was expecting and I didn't care for it. I haven't seen it a long time; I might better appreciate it now.

I don't think he was in Planet of the Apes either. The problem though is that it feels like Burton puts him in every movie. Their partnership really should have ended with Ed Wood.

They didn't.

I really need to watch that. I bought the DVD set for my SO several years ago and we still haven't gotten around to it.

I agree with you on all points. I am looking forward to seeing how that particular scenario plays out, but it doesn't need to be the Tower of Joy. I figure present-day Howland Reed needs to be involved in that revelation anyway. That said, even if book readers have already settled on that conclusion, I'm not sure

Between the cost of CGI to properly show direwolves and the difficulty in presenting the "dreams" Arya and Jon have in connection with their wolves, I get it. But it's still a big disappointment.

Ghost is pure white, an albino. Summer is light-colored but not white. I know, you don't care.

Spot. On. I referenced those same two movies before I saw this post. You have so well articulated the huge problem I have with this latest development.

I come down on the side of ridiculous. I'm not opposed to time travel when it's a basic component of the story, like The Terminator or Back to the Future. I don't think about it too hard and it's fine. Bran being able to affect the future through his greenseeing? That feels like just some more bullshit tossed on

Yeah, I did not get why they were referring to him as a she. I guess they think of Summer as a feminine name so they assumed he was female?

It's a book thing. There is a character in the book who we haven't seen on the show (yet). He is not living, but neither is he a white walker or a mindless wight. He saves Sam and Gilly after they escape Craster's and leads them back to the Wall but he cannot pass through with them to the other side because of the

I assume he wants to see Lyanna give Ned her baby and the explicit promise he makes to her, making it abundantly clear that the child he took back to Winterfell was his sister's, not his own bastard. All signs point to it in the book but it's still not confirmed.
