there weren't really any politics in the Original Series, though

there was the fun theory that Jar Jar was a Sith Lord pulling the strings all along, and his bumbling and idiocy was just a disarming ruse.. It might actually motivate a rewatch of TPM.

There is a good 2.5 hour movie to be carved out of the 8 hours of schlock in the preequels.

The answer where she goes just list a bunch of popular things with no connection between them feels particularly unfocused. "What is the cultural zeitgeist that is tapped into by Tickle Me Elmo?"

to be clear: I know that Jaime didn't publicize his motivation to kill Aerys because… of some reason, not sure. But in his vision, Bran saw Jaime killing Aerys. I guess he might just be seeing events, and not peoples' intentions behind those events, but it seems like a needlessly complicated way to get someone who…

But doesn't Bran already know that Aerys tried to burn down King's Landing with wildfire, which was the reason for his death by regicide?

Well, the prequels told us that people who were genetically endowed with lots of midiclorians were "fated" to play big roles in the goings-on of Galatic politics.

Leave Taylor alone! *sob*

America is the economically hegemonic Empire that tells itself it is the plucky Rebel Alliance.

But the Lannisters don't care about going North (for the time being)

well, not all of it…

I'm sure Tommen's "Idea" to get rid of Jaime was planted by Margery.

Horn Hill is in the far far south, almost by Dorne. The typical winters would probably have really mild effects in that region.

Margery genuinely turning to the faith would just seem like such a betrayal and a waste of her character.

Where did the second-rate actress with the amazing tits find the coin to hire the Faceless Men in the first place?

I don't understand what motivation Bran has to interfere with Aerys?

Just coat your obsidian/Valyrian weapons in pig grease and light them on fire- you are ready for whatever the WW throw at you!

Cersei was technically imprisoned for incest with Lancel, not Jaime.

I think it is Margery being aware that the walls have ears, and not wanting to blow her escape plan. But a well written scene - who knows if both characters are actually on the same page?

I think he looks remarkably like Tim Roth.
