I don't think Petyr's scene is as pointless as McNutt suggests, we just learned he's marching on Winterfell with the army of the Vale, the only fresh, unspoiled army in all of Westeros. It's a big deal.
Also, they did lay at least a little bit of groundwork for Cleganebowl, with Jaime remarking that her trial by…

All of these "memes" are so forced. To the point that "meme" really isn't the proper word anymore. A shadow of the good ol' 4chan days. Stuff like Candlejack was actu

OK the Gohan one is ridiculous. He exists in a show where the only things the characters do are train and fight. If all you did was train and fight you'd look like a Greek God too.

"Could never work if it was on more than once a week" isn't damning at all.

Yeah, isn't the punishment for what Jon was about to do in the books death anyway?

It's not like the prosthetics have to endure any kind of movement, or stand up to being seen from multiple angles…he'll always just be sitting in that one spot, unmoving, with limited angles to be viewed from. It doesn't seem as though it would be that hard to create a rig that Max could just pop in to. Even if it…

All of those line up real nice, though I kind of doubt any of these religions will turn out to be real, or at least turn out to be as their followers believe them to be. We're conditioned to accept religions and Gods presented in fantasy as real within their respective universes, but I think ASOIAF is more like the…

IRL, if some religious figure prophesied the deaths of four people, and then they all died, no matter how logical the cause of their deaths may have been, no matter how far apart in time, you better believe that person and his or her followers would believe wholeheartedly it was their God or whatever that caused it. …

the Castle Black thing actually makes some sense. Last season you had a small band attacking from the south, with the rest of the wildlings on the other side of the wall. The Night's watch could actually fight the small band, and could hold back the masses because the wall is the wall. Now, you have all the…

#2 really would have been the ideal choice. I guess maybe we're all underestimating Roose's affection for Ramsay? Because Roose knows how awful and dangerous Ramsay is, he knows he would destroy their house if he ever came in to power, and he knows that he will kill that baby the first chance he gets. Letting…

I'm bummed no one said "and now his watch is ended" over Jon's body before he resurrected.

I'm not sure why the show skipped the "last kiss" ritual from the books. Lightly praying over a body isn't terribly dramatic.

It's a better introduction of Euron than in the books though right? He just shows up at the king's moot. Having him be the one who kills Balon was a pretty slick idea (and might even be off-screen canon in the books, who knows).
For what it's worth, Mads Mikkelsen's one-eyed visage in Valhalla Rising is how I always…

It really would be incredibly satisfying to see Joffrey deal with the faith militant.

I got stuck on "pirate" as well. "Thief" probably would have worked a bit better.

The Raid has incredible action scenes. Better than Dredd's action by a mile. The underlying story just isn't there though. When you consider the two movies as a whole experience, Dredd is indeed a far better film

It's probably just a coincidence, stranger things have happened. The premise is simple enough that it's very easy to imagine the writers of each coming up with it independently. That said, the dates really do work out in Dredd's favor, if you have to claim one copied the other or got there first.

One thing I've always loved about Adventure Time is the idea that a magical world wouldn't necessarily be more pleasant or whimsical than one bound by the laws of nature - it would be dangerous and unpredictable, and unpredictable on such a fundamental level that our minds can't really even relate to it. Madness and…

I think The Road is uplifting in a way, if you kind of squint at it. The notion of "carrying the fire" amid such hopeless brutality is kind of uplifting.

one of my least favorite excesses in modern filmmaking is the virtual camera that does not obey the laws of physics - I'm really glad to hear the virtual camera in this film is fairly grounded.
