Fair point. I have to go, and this was the best I could do in the little time I had. I’d rather write than not write at all. And if people don’t like it, they can not read it. That’s perfectly fine. In the past, people have enjoyed my posts, and it’s lead to lively and informative conversation and discussion.

Thank you! That makes so much sense. I had an idea of the meaning, but missed the sigil aspect.

Game of Thrones (Season 6, Episode 7) Recap and Thoughts

Thanks! I’ll try to write one for tonight’s episode and post it tomorrow (if I have time).

Yeah, from interviews and all, those two were not friends, just co-workers. Because of TV it’s understandable that viewers thought Adam and Jaime were friends as the way the show was shot, the hosts were all friendly (and family-friendly) all around while onscreen. However, they said many times that they never spent…

That was my thought, too! I went home from the theater and googled to see if there were sequel plans set in that post-apocalyptic world.

I guess that’s the complaint and that’s where all of the foreshadowing comes into it. From the first speech that opens the movie, we learn that during the first “golden mile” a comet fell that night (which began the trouble). After that in every scene there are visual or spoken instances of foreshadowing what’s really…

If you read a post and my response above that said something similar, you’ll realize I was being rather tongue-in-cheek.

:) It was a really well thought out post.

(Bryan Fuller; Bryan Singer’s giftability is... questionable.)

Interesting point. If you think about it, Dany’s family line (as you mentioned) seemed to fear/avoid it. Now she basically IS a religion. People across the lands “believe” in her to the point of religious fervor. Meanwhile in the other kingdoms, religions are either battling the rulers, combining rule with the rules,…

From the lede alone, I feel you. After seeing “Batman V. Superman,” I expressed my dislike of the movie while having a beer at a local FAMILY Italian restaurant. Somehow, that led to threats of physical harm from the male patrons at the bar.

Willa Holland is kind of my hero. Executives and PR be damned, she addressed the problems and spoke the truth.

Very well said. Yeah, Dany has the whole “cult of personality” thing going on, much like the fascists of the 20th and 21st Centuries. She has the “cult of personality” thing down to an art form. People from all over Westeros have heard of her, her titles, her accomplishments, and guess what? They’re all buying into…

I had very, very limited time to write this and post it. If I’d had more free time, I would have done a lot more. I didn’t need to google his name. I know that’s his name. Spell check switched up a lot of proper nouns, and I didn’t have any time at all to make more changes, edits or additions. I would have loved to do…

I agree. The pacing has changed since they’ve had to go off book. But that doesn’t mean every episodes has to be action-filled. This episode was all about seeing the pieces on the boards getting set into position, and that was fascinating. I do miss some of the earlier episodes that were filled with excellent…

It was tongue-in-cheek. Seemed like it had been a while, and I set my watch by the regularity of her speech-making.

It was great to see Arya laugh and smile again, especially in this context.

That is true. He loved climbing throughout the whole castle, secret passageways and ledges. He knew its architecture inside and out. This may well be a solid working theory.

Cool theory! I like it. That’s the extent of my knowledge about Bran the Builder as well. I doubt GRRM would have two characters, Starks, both named Bran and for that to be incidental, but I’ve been wondering what the connection is, and I really like this theory.
