Yeah it's barely even mentioned in the newbies review, which just goes to show how casually it was handled. This should have been a major WTF moment.

Yeah as others have said he isn't necessarily predicting anything. He's just creating chaos. Why? He said so last season; Chaos is a ladder. A ladder presumably leading to greater power for the one climbing. He sows chaos as a medium for his ascent.

I recall that this is actually a thing they do all the time, it's role play.

honestly, that reveal comes way out of left field if you're not prepared for it, so if you haven't read the books, i feel like you do need a character to just state it. This isn't something that's been alluded to, Jon Arryn's murder by the Lannisters to protect the secret of Joffrey's true parentage was a big thing n…

Call it what you want but don't put artwork in quotes. The images above are art and they're very good.

I'll never be cool with that decision. It commits the cardinal sin of sequels in that it invalidates/ignores what came before it. It could work just as well as the second installment, which marks a bad third installment.

I'm not sure that was a ruthless decision, just a hard one, but also pretty sensible.

I was into it. Why not go over the top with characters we'll be disposing of very soon anyway? I like the idea that life at Craster's has devolved into this dark cesspit of insanity.

He's looking for Bran. Theon said last week that Bran might have gone to castle black because Jon's there.

The extended flashback sequence was odd to me, especially because, as an 11 minute show, all that time is incredibly valuable. They could have used that time to instead make some mention of Finn's arm or something. I guess it was a sort of meta joke on filler episodes using flashbacks to pad time?

The only thing I found strange and a tiny bit surprising was the fact that the final figure seemed to be a different type of being than the White Walkers. Implies there's some sort of hierarchy here, and the White Walkers aren't at the top.

The dude is a chameleon, really good actor. So weird thinking about his Pacific Rim character while watching this episode.

Yeah I could be wrong, but if Will is willing to risk murdering people in cold blood in order to catch Hannibal, Jack should be willing to risk eating some dudes. You gotta get your hands dirty if you want to catch the ripper.

No he's just taking one for the team trying to convince Hannibal he no longer suspects him. Hannibal would know something was up if Jack all of a sudden started making excuses every time he invited him over.

I don't really think its vague - every time Jack has suggested he doesn't suspect Hannibal has been in Hannibal's presence. The fishing scene with Will says everything we need to know about what the two are up to. They're luring Hannibal, and Jack is just playing his part until it's time to land him.

Jack's putting on a show just like Will. He's trying to lull Hannibal into a false sense of security. Eating meat cooked by him is a pretty effective step in that direction.

If you can have a mecha bear suit in your artsy TV show and pull it off to any degree, you can pull anything off.

Yeah, but what would that really add to the story? I know the film wants you to think about the nature of reality, but that still happens if Cobb is awake at the end. If he was dreaming the entire time, it all becomes kind of dumb and pointless.

But in that same sequence, one of the agents yells at DiCaprio "you dreamin now?" or something along those lines. Projections never seemed to have that kind of self awareness.

I don't really get the notion that the ending to inception is ambiguous. It seemed pretty clear to me that he was awake and the movie was as straightforward as it appeared to be. What exactly does it mean if he IS dreaming at the end? He's going to wake up on the plane no matter what…not showing the top drop is…
