The Three Eyed Raven DID give him useful information:

It’s not just that, though. In the “After the Show” bit, the show runners said that the Three-Eyed Raven was “downloading” all of his knowledge into Bran during that whole sequence, bombarding him which effectively caused the short circuit that fried child Hodor.

Game of Thrones successfully manages to make even time travel devastatingly depressing.

We are really friendly and open-minded over there on the ODeck, and great articles/posts that are driven by intelligent writing followed by great conversation make for an excellent place to exchange ideas, questions, and thoughts. No one is rude or crass or treats anyone else badly there. That’s basically Rule One.

Absolutely. Remember how horrifying it was to see hundreds upon hundreds of the Wilding fighters battle at Hardhome and get killed, only to rise up again to fight for the other side as undead?

What is the Sparrow after?

Here’s a good interview with Owen Teale (Ser Alliser) talking about the BTS of the hanging scene (and more):

Very cool.

Yeah, just 3 minutes of BTS of how they pulled off that amazing sword fight would be a real treat. How did they pull off the “one sword in each hand” fight so flawlessly? More of that and less of explaining the events in the episode that what we literally just saw and heard would really please the show’s fans (at…

These “Inside the Episode” shorts really are just post-show recaps to clearly explain what was shown during the episode: telling instead of showing. It would be great if they showed how the production of certain scenes was made (like the amazing sword fight or the hanging). It’d be better at least if there was a…

Originally ONLY Han shot.

That’s a good way to phrase it!

Isn’t that asking why hire Benedict Cumberbatch to play Smaug? The green screen stuff he did to create the character was fascinating. It requires a new method of acting. I see it as a challenge to and acknowledgement of these actors’ great abilities to nail a role in which they look “completely unrecognizable.”

This is the season where Jon Snow makes the white walkers pay for the wall.

Ditto. I reread it regularly. It’s a book that’s demanding of the reader in many ways, and I love that.

That frustration and not fully understanding what happened is very normal. Strangely enough, it’s really the kind of book that requires a “critical reading companion” like Final Crisis “Cliffs Notes” (by Brian Cronin at CSBG) or a fantastically deep understanding of several decades of DC continuity.

COTD right here. This is an extremely well thought out, well written comment, an article in itself. The research and understanding of both the history and character of these comic book universes made this the most enjoyable thing that I have read today.

Well said and concise. Thank you for thinking. Seriously. Thank you for thinking and then analyzing and then making a comment. I received so much hatred from keyboar-reactionary-reactivists. So thanks.

I am still curious if you were being nice or sarcastic. Either way is okay, I just would like to know because I don’t understand your comment. Thanks. I’m relatively very new to blogging/kinja. I work in film/video-making, photography, and writing. Practicing in the niche of blog writing on kinja has been for fun and…

I’m so tired. So, so tired. And the pain is unbearable.
