Could also be that he's given up on the show and is being polite. George R.R. Martin is someone who spends a lot of time making sure events happen in a logical manner, and likes to subvert fantasy tropes where he can rather than play them straight. The show's getting a bit away from that now. He's a genre fan in…

Threepwood? THREEPWOOD? That's the stupidest name I've ever heard!

This bothered me too. It makes no sense how Jaime and Bronn escaped. But if Jaime was captured, then we wouldn't have had to do the whole sneak into King's Landing thing, and the Mad Queen question around Daenerys could have had some real stakes. It was a missed opportunity for some great drama. Tyrion and Jaime…

I agree. If they kept the full prophecy from the book, though, Cersei's mischaracterization this season would be even more evident. In the past, Cersei has been shown to be someone who isn't very good at thinking long term (as evidenced by her trying to use the Sparrows to take down the Tyrells). With all of her…

I want to point out that the show version of Maggy didn't predict Cersei's death - the show cut at "gold will be their crowns, and gold their shrouds" omitting the Valonqar entirely. We're seeing some cross-pollination between book theories and people who don't remember what was actually said and not said on the show.

There's usually a funny moment after the title card that draws attention to a hype worthy element not teased elsewhere in the trailer.

OF COURSE!

But this actually happened on the show. We literally cut from Tyrion asking, "Is she going to kill every dwarf in the world?" to Cersei being presented with some random blonde dwarf's head, and the dialogue implies that there have been, and will continue to be, more of these.

Nah, Generation X was people born in the 60s and 70s, so they were teens, pre-teens, and young adults in the 80s. It's the same deal with Millennials - in the 2000s, they were teens, pre-teens, or young adults.

Millennials are supposed to be the generation that reached adulthood and/or maturity at the turn of the millenniam. There are a significant number of millennials (about half) much younger than that, but that's why they're called "millennials". So it's people that were born in the '80s or '90s. Pretty much all…

My mother is exactly this way, and it's bizarre. She talks about how awful Trump is, how he's making a mockery of the Preisdency, etc etc, but then says that she likes how she's getting all these liberals riled up, so he must be doing something right. That is basically the extent of her argument.

In the books, Euron is explicitly said to have not aged a day since his brothers last saw him. They make note of his eerily young appearance. He also has blue lips, like the warlocks of Qarth.

Protector of the Realm by marriage isn't how it works. She's queen by right of conquest, and because if you go back through the family trees, way back, the members of House Lannister are the next blood descendants of a Baratheon (Cersei wasn't the first Lannister to marry a Baratheon, so she and Robert share a…

The Tarlys are the best bet to die this week, in my opinion. They betrayed the Tyrells, and thus Daenerys, and it looks like they'll be involved in a battle sequence. They're toast.

This is basically how every single superhero comic book adaptation ever made has done it, save perhaps Watchmen.

I agree 100%. This show has become extremely lazy and thrown logic to the wind, after fantastically well planned and executed early seasons.

It's not just a question of temporality, it's a question of geography as well. The Unsullied and Ironborn set out at close to the same time, presumably, as the plan was cooked up in the same scene. I assumed the Unsullied would march to Casterly Rock through the Riverlands (which are in chaos), but no, they went by…

I think the implication was that Highgarden fell quickly because the bulk of their armies, under the command of Randyll Tarly, defected to the Lannister side.

I look forward to the return of Raisa, the Queens' Russian maid who appeared once in the pilot and then never again.

Venom will actually chronicle the story of Dave Harper, a member of the R&B band Az Yet who, despite having never written a screenplay, is tasked by Sony with writing a Venom movie without Spider-Man. Stuck, he decides to go see Venom creator Todd McFarlane for help, only to discover that Todd has entered into a…
