Your criticisms of GRRM are without a doubt spot fucking on. Thank you for that.

So, if I understand correctly, the GoT production team can literally CGI an army of undead numbering in the thousands and three fucking dragons which are frequently ridden by human characters, but they cannot create a CGI wolf for like twenty seconds of screen time with Jon?

BINGO. 

Wrong. Comedian is the hero.

And it’s a Starbucks cup.

:( I hope it’s not dying. I’ve had a lot of fun in these parts over the years. 

I guess I see where you’re coming from. But, when I saw the scene, my initial reaction was: “I’m glad they incorporated something like this in a movie that is 3 hours long and includes 20+ main characters.”

Christ, Beyonce’s fanbase is a literal cancerous abscess. I’m sure her music is quite good, and her performances revolutionary or whatever. But can we put a stop to this tendency to exercise a copyright over everything any other female pop musician does in 2019 by claiming that “Bey did it FIRST.” I saw Beychella. It…

I am so hyped for this album. Continuing the Paul Simon influence while also cribbing on the Grateful Dead sound was a goddamn masterstroke. I cannot fucking wait.

Phew, okay.

No, I want them to write better episodes. 

S6 had its moments, the last two episodes in particular, which were great. 

Interesting. I literally watched Endgame right before GoT. I thought Endgame was incredible, the literal apotheosis of billion dollar movie-making. And, the crazy thing is I fully expected to hate it. That made my reaction so much more credible, to my mind. Curious to hear your thoughts as to why you weren’t so…

Okay, thank you for clarifying. You’re right that we should wait and see, but I am not confident the show-runners can make up for all the narrative misdeeds. 

Huh? No. I am not sure how you draw that comparison. Please elaborate. 

Not disputing that. The Arya stuff is well-documented, as you point out. But I have a hard time believing that he envisioned this chronology of events. 

Because I’m a curmudgeon :(

If memory serves - and we all now fickle a thing memory is! - the first ten minutes of the first episode of the entire series presented a threat, and then for the next eight years everyone went around explaining how fucking important that threat was. Then, in the third episode of the final six-episode season, the…

My counter would be that this show has not focused itself this brilliantly on character development in nearly four years. 

I sorta disagree. Halo’s world is fascinating, especially in the first three entries. And, the Master Chief’s background (the story of how he became a big, mute supersoldier) is much more interesting than this article indicates. I think all of this could make for an excellent tv show. Alas, this being a videogame, I…
