I think Frozen made a lot of obvious choices, but got away with them by making a few unconventional ones re the resolution of the plot. Aside from the massive oversaturation of Let It Go, I'm fine with Frozen. If I had to watch a movie with a kid for a couple of hours there are far worse things they could pick. I…

Wow - "flopping fish flick" is a hell of a tongue twister. Try saying that ten times fast!

Cars is a pretty movie, but I didn't enjoy it much.

I'm not sure - Arya has a large cast of people she has grudges against. She significantly refined the list the last time she recited it and Mel wasn't on it any more. I don't think every character on Arya's shitlist is going to live until Arya can meet up with them again.

I think Melisandre is done. She's served her purpose - she's brought Jon back from the dead. I don't see her hanging around until the end of the show, and this would be as good a place as any for her to leave. My only caveat on that would be that I'd rather Davos found out about Shireen and did it himself. And if the…

Oh yeah - I somehow missed that. I caught that he was reasonably impressed with flashbacks in season 4, but missed the bit about them creaking in season 3 which I totally agree with.

I would disagree that "Orange has also figured out how best to deploy the flashbacks that reveal the characters’ pre-Litchfield lives" if we're talking about season 3. I felt like a lot of the flashbacks became a "thing that happened because that's how OitNB works". I don't think they can (or should) drop them now,…

This is true - but she HAS always done it, and it sounds like in this case it's worked. My only real fear for OitNB is that one season Jenji will decide to completely reinvent the show in a way that DOESN'T work. But as far as her tendency to reinvent, the most likely "major thing" she'd do is kill off/free Piper. …

I don't think CleganeBowl is dead. I never thought it was going to happen at Cersei's trial because I couldn't see an obvious path to that happening, but I have zero doubt that EVENTUALLY Sandor will be the one to destroy Gregor.

I think the Cleganes absolutely will fight to the death at some point. Just not convinced it will be at Cersei's trial.

I think it became pretty clear that Glover was against Jon because of allowing the wildlings south of the wall. He seemed to be probing for confirmation of that, and as soon as he did he looked disgusted. I think it all boils down to whether Northern houses believe in the White Walkers or not and I'm not sure many of…

1000 days is a pretty long time to mark anything. And it's not like Earth time scales are always obvious. Imperial measurements, anyone? Our weeks have 7 days… Maybe their years are 350 days long, or 400. Maybe wise Maesters have determined how long their planet takes to orbit the nearest star, and their years are 365…

But calling the leader of the White Walkers "The Night King" based on the old myths is probably fair enough. It's not like they had the chance to ask him his name. I'm sure they're all making this shit up as they go along - and using the fairytale references they have seems fair enough.

Well yes - but that case isn't going to come up here: one of the few things I'm certain of is that zombieMountain will be Cersei's champion. I'm not sure he even has any free will.

I think they probably have to obey the underlying rules of the society in order to maintain legitimacy.

I think the High Sparrow would be fairly short sighted to have "predictable, controllable" Tommen killed in favour of Margaery. A newly pregnant Margaery wouldn't have any real power in Kings Landing without Tommen anyway - they would have to wait until the baby was old enough to rule. Also - Cersei's situation has…

Years and seasons are clearly independent. It seems like seasons have completely variable lengths in GRRMs world, so they wouldn't be useful as a measurement of time.

I missed that scene - I'm up for that.

I don't know: it definitely looks like in this world the defendant can DEMAND a trial by combat - doesn't look like the accuser can refuse it.

Pretty sure the Night King is a "human name" for him from the "fairytales" in the North, rather than a name he gave himself.
