I kind of like that, if for no other reason that I think Dany is (or wants to be) a better ruler than her father, but would benefit from learning from Jon and just realizing that she is not as much of the hero to this story as she likely thought. But I can see THAT being a happier ending where she saves the realm but

Yeah, I saw mention of that earlier. That would work, but only if Dany either died or relinquished Westeros (say, because she realized she was forcing her rule on a people who do not want it and because Jon was the true heir apparent, perhaps deciding to return to Mereen and Daario), and say Jon decided he did not

And despite the initial shock for the viewers, it wasn’t done in a lurid or leering way. It gave Arya and Gendry a moment of happiness and intimacy, and it gave us a blunt look at Arya without her layers of armor: both physically and emotionally. Her scars were more the focus of the camera’s gaze that the second of

I fucking knew someone would make this joke, and it is my fault for not clarifying.

Cheers! I am not that big into black metal

Just wanted to thank you again. I’ve been on a huge Mgla kick for over two months now. But I really love just about everything I’ve heard them put out. I’ll probably just end up ordering their whole discography.

As an aside, if you have any other favorites people like me should know about but might not, I’m all ears.

I just wanted to say I am sorry you had to go through that sort of attack, however I am glad you were able to get away relatively lightly compared to what could have happened. Thanks for sharing. As horrible as that undoubtedly was, it’s good to be aware of those types of stories and how you survived.

Good post, thank you. It’s funny how when someone posts an opinion on here, so many people take it as THIS IS WHAT YOU MUST UNEQUIVOCALLY THINK AND DO AS WELL. Not at all.

Tormund disapproves.

Hey PiccoloPete, good post. A few thoughts about your points...

And honestly, why wouldn’t the Emperor come back? [snip] If Obi Wan and Yoda can whisper secrets into Luke’s ear, surely Palpatine can do the same for Kylo Ren. 

Can do!

As an update, thanks for the recommendation for Steins:Gate. I binge watched the initial series and loved it. I haven’t gotten through Steins:Gate Zero, but it seems pretty well-reviewed so I’ll give that a shot soon. I just thought I would say thanks again, I really appreciate the recommendation.

I’m not sure the two are mutually exclusive. I’m projecting here, but it’s hard to believe he wasn’t trying to get her back, especially at first. However, I also think he was trying to be there because, regardless of their relationship status, he still loved her. He had a history of being a caretaker and the type of

Yes, however...whenever I played that scenario in my head (right about the time I heard J.J. Abrams was returning and likely to pull a “just kidding, she’s a Skywalker!” out of his hat)...that makes no sense to me. Not that Kylo Ren would lie, I can get that. But if he really wanted to get her to come to his side,

I keep people saying that’s one of the main themes of the last movie. If true, they did a horrible job presenting it.

It probably was painful, which obviously is not what Lloyd was going for. He may not even have thought it through all the way. But that’s life - you go with what you think is best, and then hope for the best.

Lloyd wins her by being there for her when she needs someone.

The image, including the slow zoom on Lloyd and his growing doubt as he stands there getting no response, captures so many things that we already know about him and their situation without a single word of dialogue. How many filmmakers ever get this right?

Interesting observation. If you’ll forgive a bit of a rant, I could argue it was a cumulative effect and this was perhaps one notable piece of the overall picture that won Diane over.

However...this particular gesture didn’t work. Which sort of prompts me to ask, why is it so iconic? I think it still works (as a scene,
