The likely bet, at the moment, for TWOW arriving on shelves, is sometime early in 2017.

What are the odds that the exit voters are going to turn out in droves to see this at opening weekend, to celebrate?

Not a lot of good outcomes here. If Johnson doesn't clinch the leadership then George Osborne could be an even worse choice.

My guess is they will simply substitute Varys for Qyburn, so Pycelle and Kevan will die much like in ADWD.

Brienne and the Riverlands characters should be safe enough for a while. The show has to do a little more table setting, before it gets to some of these conflicts and that includes the Clegane Brothers.

Yeah it could go down differently. One set report supposedly had them fighting a duel. But again, its hard to separate what is is authentic and what is fan speculation. It would be good to see a more sympathetic version of Thoros when he returns. This would be more true to the books.

Thoros of Myr is going down this week. Hopefully followed by the Hound taking over the Brotherhood and getting them back on mission.

I don't see The Hound joining up with a bunch of zealots in Kings Landing for any reason. He's staying firmly on Team Al Swearengen.

Good job we were treated to a scene with a giant countdown clock, to highlight this act of insidious wrongdoing.

Purvis and Wade usually squeeze their way back on to the writing team. That is one thing that should definitely change before the next film.

Safest bet for this week, a bunch of random Dothraki. Jorah and Daario are bound to take out a few sneaking around the camp. And if Drogon turns up…

I'm surprised that Action Park didn't end up as a side-plot on the Sopranos at some point.

It's unforgivable that they didn't see fit to bring back Randy Quaid as a force ghost for this.

I hope this will mean a complete series DVD release, sometime down the line.

A droid production line set piece might just have saved this movie.

Bleakest of all spaghetti Westerns The Great Silence (Il Grande Silenzio) could use some of the rough edges being cleaned up (Losing the reassuring postscript and the 60's quality dubbing would be a start). So it could stand a remake in the mold of John Hillcoat's similar work (The Proposition, The Road)
