I don't think so.

They won't do that, otherwise Thoros and Beric last year would be incredibly pointless, and the line about "cutting her throat and throwing her in the river" is a clear foreshadowing. Not to mention being at a loss as to what to do with Brienne and Jaime later.

I was honestly baffled by what they did with him last year. Rather than replace the exposition from the book with action, they instead replaced it with exposition that didn't even tell viewers anything new.

The one in an urban environment. Some Eastern European type place.

I've only watched a few episodes of Community, but shouldn't they have graduated by now?

Ugh. Let's NOT cue Brandon Sanderson, shall we? I know a lot of people thought Jordan's prose was nothing to write home about, but it's poetry compared to Sanderson's prose. "Workmanlike" does not even begin to describe it.

I always read it this way: Tyrion is GRRM as he would like to be in a medieval setting (a Gary Stu, if you will), Samwell Tarly is how he actually would be in a medieval setting.

I think people really exaggerate his health and the pace. We know two things about his health: he's fat and old. Well jeez I got a long list of fat and old people living a lot longer than GRRM has of now. Not everybody just keels over of a heart attack nowadays. Why the heck do you think beta blockers are a huge…

It's an in-depth analysis of the episode, almost like a director's commentary. It requires spoilers. Maybe you should quit reading them. Can you consider the "spoilers" in this one (which were all indirect spoilers, anyway, simply telling you when something big is going to happen, not what) a spoiler warning for all…

As someone who never watched the original, is there anyone who's gone back and watched it without nostalgia tinging their perceptions? Is it worth watching now?

She's reaching out, about to steal a diamond-studded onyx cat figurine and then…wham! She moves her hand to the left and deftly grabs a ruby-studded ivory dog figurine! "This is the dog's woof!" she says, turning and leaping through the tiny door she created at the base of the vault's entrance with her custom laser.

Actually they're not in New Pittsburgh. The homeless lady moved from wherever to New Pittsburgh for a time, then to this city. Then there was some conversation about "well how long have you been out here" i.e. out west someplace. Pittsburgh isn't ever gonna get called "out here". The show is clearly filmed in like…

Are there any bands who don't take the usual "line-up in front of the camera in mildly churlish poses" take on a group photo? Like maybe a band sitting around a table or something? I mean, c'mon. There's gotta be some bands out there trying something slightly different, surely.

Well at this point I am fairly certain certain plotlines from A Feast For Crows are appearing this season, as there's no way to avoid some of them from what I can tell. Fortunately it is only with a few characters.

I'm not sure what you mean exactly, but I can tell you for a fact that season 5 and probably 6 of the show will have events from two separate books, A Feast for Crows and A Dance For Dragons. The reason is that the way Martin wrote them is that the events within the two books take place concurrently but with different…

That's not how they're filming the books. They're combining them, as has been stated many times. The fear is this is a spoiler for The Winds of Winter.

I was going to say, if the internet somehow starts spoiling Song of Ice and Fire books BEYOND THE ONES THAT EVEN EXIST, I'm going to be pissed.

Yeah, my problem with XCOM is I kept trying to keep every single one of my soldiers alive. It's impossible. Much like in real life, I've learned to sacrifice rookies to keep my veterans alive (battle fodder!), and if one of the veterans bites the bullet, if it's for a significant achievement or goal I don't reload,…

The difficulty of Demon's Souls and Dark Souls I felt was greatly exaggerated. The actual battles are tough, no doubt, but initial reviews made it sound like you could lose vast swathes of progress. The only thing you can permanently lose is souls, which really just act as a form of currency, not experience. Your…

I have to question how long this game is, though. If it's only several hours instead of something like 50 hours (like one would expect from a full-fledged tactical RPG), then it's not a huge dealbreaker for me. Even if it's in X-COM Enemy Unknown territory where subsequent playthroughs are much more fluid than the…
