My hope for Gregor has been that he gets unceremoniously burnt to a crisp by one of the dragons. He's a boring lump of a character, who I suspect has been portrayed in the last few episodes by an oversized shop dummy.
Having him taken out in one shot would be satisfying, if only because Cersei is always hiding behind…

I kept expecting him to say that if it were up to him he would bend the knee, but that it would cause a rebellion in the north.
All in all I did think the scenes between them were pretty consistent with their characters. Danaerys has faith in herself, but vastly outsized expectations of how Westeros would react to…

If it actually looked like Jaime got any pleasure out of it, perhaps, but Jaime looks like he knows that his love for Cersei will destroy him, his soul, and the country. His 'future generations will live in peace'-bit was a sham, because he knows that Cersei would burn every last man or woman, and every bushel of…

Logistics have always been determined by plot necessity, rather than practicalities on this show, so it's impossible to predict what would be feasible.
But I will say that I'm going to be disappointed if we go a whole season without those dragons absolutely destroying some stuff. If only to see how Cersei will be when…

I don't understand why she couldn't just attack the fleet at night. They would have no clue she was coming and there would be almost no way for the Ironborn to see much of anything until the fires had consumed just about every ship.

I don't know if he sucks at strategy so much as he's going off outdated information. Their side has no spies in Westeros it seems, whereas I thought Euron's attack made the other side aware of the plan to attack Casterly Rock.
Mostly though this stroke of bad luck for Tyrion and Danaerys seems like the writers bending…

A lot of Americans don't seem to know what a fortnight is, maybe the writers think it just means 'enough time for whatever'.

Yeah, but generally the person who's winning at the start is not going to be the winner at the end, that's how it usually goes in these kinds of stories. So I'm happy to have Danaerys suffer some early defeats.

His incessant need to be insufferable in every interaction is quite exhausting. I'm hoping he suffers the fate I wished on Ramsey Bolton, to suffer a realistic medieval death: shitting his guts out after getting dysentery.

The dialogue for Game of Thrones always has to do an unfortunate straddling act, sounding authentic while still being meaningful to us. Take Cersei describing Danaerys as a revolutionary; the word didn't even exist as a noun until the 19th century.
But yeah, things are taking a back seat to plot this season.

Jaime so far this season seems beaten. He seems to have given in to his love for Cersei, while suppressing his self-loathing. I wouldn't be surprised to see him snap at some point, and when he does Cersei might find herself in the hands of prophecy after all.

Pickle's mom and dad should maybe regulate his tv-time a little more.

Or just: 'please, just let her grow on you, and you'll accept this storytelling decision'.

I wonder if they're gonna go with something like Klingons are just very genetically diverse, and as T'Kuvma proceeds on his quest to unite the houses we'll see every variety of Klingon there has been (smooth, rigged, the weirdos from The Motion Picture, the particular styles from Star Trek V and VI).
I'm also entirely…

I think you're just going to have to accept that this version of Star Trek is rewriting the rules to suit its own purpose.
We're talking about made up space people with rubber foreheads, just accept that canon is ultimately meaningless, and enjoy the show.
If it'll actually turn out to be good you'll have wasted a…

We're finally getting to the level of urgency and narrative thrust that this show used to have. The first few episodes of this season were kind of a drag compared to the way this show used to move.

The same jumble of cuneiform writing and Icelandic staves that were all over Susan's house.

Okay, good. I'm not the only one who is completely paranoid when it comes to this show.

I'd say it has become about that, since clearly Susan Duncan had something grander in mind than immortality for a guy who enjoys Edwardian cosplaying.
It's all a little foggy, since the show has been hard to pin down on what Neolution really is, how much it's synonymous with Dyad, etc.

Yeah, van Hoytema is a step up for Nolan after Pfister. If only he could make a similar improvement in the musical department.
As a semi-compatriot of van Hoytema, I'm astounded he hasn't actually shot any Dutch films. Though that might say more about the sorry state of Dutch cinema than it does about him.
