    I've never been a freak about "canon" so I just found this okay. It was kinda creative but a bit lifeless and not very funny. I see lots of comments about how clever it was to portray a cosmic being as a mundane loser, but in my eyes the show already pulled off that gag to completion when it first introduced Prismo

    What do you have to back that up..?

    The first result I got was for APA who actually do not prescribe it after a silent s:

    Nah, Mance's horn, the famed Horn of Joramun, which is supposed to be able to raze The Wall, was a fake (it's speculated the real one was found in the dragonglass stash at The Fist, Sam's got it now). Euron's horn is definitely some kind of magical object, the Iron Islander who blew it died from internal burns.

    Dunno, there's not really any conflicting evidence, and it's hard to imagine where else he'd have got a magical dragon-binding horn from.

    The Siege of Winterfell is in the near future. I presume that's when she'll sow the seeds of dissent.

    And which pan-universal arbiter of grammar has prescribed this?

    Except for the whole murdering her family thing.

    No you.
    If it doesn't sound like it has an additional 's', you don't put one. For instance, Galois' Theorem. Not Galois's Theorem.

    Why do you say Hizdahr was a sleazy villain in the books? I don't recall him being very well characterised at all, but the show's Hizdahr — privelleged but moderate — seems consistent with it.

    Are you a real person?

    I do think it's a bit boring when you think back to the previous seasons, but I think the writers share the blame. George's fault was writing too much; their fault is writing too little. They've cut a lot of what was actually gripping about the books. Why have the Freys disappeared, for instance? I'm sure the TV

    Come on dude, you must know you're being dumb here. Stop blaming other people for your mistakes, jeez. Did you expect these glimpses of the filming to somehow not show any information about what they were filming?

    Honestly my ire wasn't directed at Dany here, it was directed at the writers. It was completely incoherent. When she decided to forgive Hezdar they really seemed to want us to think that her motivation was finding a benevolent third way. Nonsensical. I honestly think they just threw the burning master thing in there

    Sorta flawless.

    Faux crocodile skin, how dashing!

    It would be fairly easy to exploit, too, if she convinces Ramsay that Roose actually plans to disinherit him. That'd be bye bye Roosey.

    That's really very little to cover in five episodes, especially when you consider what won't be in it. The Manderlys aren't at Winterfell so the rise of the North stuff will be absent. Margaery's probably replaced with Loras. Kevan's ascension is not an ongoing event, Kevan will simply turn up in King's Landing whilst

    Most people missed this and no wonder: the "Stannis the Grammist" thing was actually an extreme throwback to the Battle of the Blackwater three years ago.

    The entire point of killing a character was to make the audience care about a plot which was bland in the books.
