The stupid shit about Dany wanting to "break the wheel" is even more galling since the show has never shown any consistent conception of the peasantry having political notions.

Yeah, I spent several years saying that Westeros on the books was as long from the Wall to Dorne as South America, supposedly (and more recently some people have figured that it's about 3 million square miles, roughly the same area as the continental US, though obviously more elongated), but Westeros in the show had…

I think Weiss and Benioff drastically curtailed their press availability over the last couple of years.

I've been saving this not very funny comment for the next episode, but here's a preview in spoiler form: If the Masters of K'un-Lun could see the newest Immortal Iron Fist fight to a standstill (without using the fist itself) with a non-powered ninja-type who had maximum two years of childhood training from a member…

There is NO way that the original conception of the Black Sky was this, but what's funny is that the concept was introduced to the show by Doug Petrie, who wrote the "Stick" episode of DD Season 1 but didn't take over as showrunner for DD until Season 2. But I can't believe that the use of the Black Sky would come…

Nah, sometimes she has it strapped to her back, or at least she did in Iron Fist. I don't remember if she ever draws it from her back, but in the real world for a full-size katana, that's typically not practical. If she thinks she might need to use it, or sit down, or something, it makes sense for her to carry the…

He seemed big and strong, so … maybe?

Like, in the actual fetish? At least sometimes it's "bull".

Unless she and Robert were engaged in some sort of folie a deux about it, no, because they have a conversation about it at some point early in the first season. The baby is mentioned in those two conversations - Cersei and Catelyn, Cersei and Robert, who would know - and never mentioned again.

Oh, sure. The slow motion collapse of House Lannister is almost all Tywin's fault, and at the core of it is that he was a bad father. Cersei didn't have at all a good life, despite the privilege and luxury. On the other hand, she almost certainly murdered (in the books, I can't remember the show on this) her childhood…

Which I've never understood; the most important thing about that prophecy is that whether she believed it on that night or not, at some point Cersei started believing that Tyrion was going to kill her, and as the details of Maggy's prophecy started coming true, she became more and more obsessed by it. The utility of…

But she even talks about him with Robert.

It was nice of that witch to be so respectful of your feelings a decade before you had them.

Which makes Jorah's show-plot an entitled Nice Guy's wet dream. "When she sees how vulnerable I can be, THEN she'll finally fall in love with me."

I didn't know that. And it's definitely not the case in the books, and I don't know what the show gets out of that, unless they intend for a pretty exalted endgame for Gendry. (Lots of people think the book character Edric Storm, a bastard of Robert's who was raised in Stannis' household and whose "Melisandre wants to…

does show Dany not remember that she used to justifiably think Jorah was a huge fucking creep (though not as big as he is in the books)?

I think the reason Jorah was cured of greyscale is because Weiss and Benioff changed their minds and wanted him to not have greyscale.

… I don't know what you mean.

One day Jaime is going to realize that Cersei is a textbook narcissist and feel like a real dum-dum. "Oh, she only loves that which she can see as an extension of herself and isn't capable of caring about me if I disappoint her. Le sigh."

Did the show version of the witch's prophecy adjust for Cersei having FOUR children, including the black haired one who died in the cradle that was invented for the show?
