During the “intro” to the cast I got really worried. Every single introduction was, “I thought X and Y about you, explain yourself in detail.” It was not only bad writing, but bad show running. Leaving them somewhat less known would have allowed some discovery in later episodes. Anyway - it was fine, like a early…

Another reason the book should be considered a relic of its time and not some classic of American literature. An equivalent novel written today would go in the exact opposite direction - a teen rejecting the infantilism he / she is subjected to at an age when throughout most of human history they would have been…

The only way I would watch this is with Crow and Tom Servo sitting next to me.

I know - but in all seriousness - John Larroquette is 9 1/2 inches taller than Bobby Moynihan, moves in that lithe, dancer like way (and is almost 70) whereas Moynihan is one food truck festival away from weighing 300 pounds.

I get what Catcher in the Rye was trying to do, I get the unreliable narrator conceit and the struggle of growing up that Holden can’t handle. But, the book is also barely relatable to, as you said, anyone born after 1970 and perhaps to anyone not born into the upper class, private school world of Caulfield. I’ve…

Glad I could help. Let me know if you want me to ruin any other shows for you - I have a lot of hot takes.

I’m trying to figure out how Bobby Moynihan ages into John Larroquette.

Stop trying to make Jason Ritter a thing. This is like the fifth year in a row he’s starring in some new show. He’s not a leading man, he’s fine as the boyfriend, best friend, grown son - but not the lead. He’s not his Dad - Hollywood didn’t try to make John into a singing cowboy.

“Crichton books were notoriously full of pseudo-science and half understood concepts”

They may have had a different director for each episode - but at least that had that one over riding theme for every one. Needless overhead tracking shots of highways.

If Sansa had knocked on Bran’s door and said that, and then upon opening the door fully Arya was already sitting there - now that would have answered all the questions.

I agree and think that’s where it might be going. Everyone has pointed out Bran’s vision of the Red Keep with the roof burned off, snow falling down and a dragon circling overhead. It was assumed that was Dany’s doing - but the Ice Dragon destroying King’s Landing makes much more sense.

Plus, he is the Kingslayer - and it is the Night King

Alanis Morrissette is totally available to reprise her role.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s incredibly complex - although that complexity was from when it was following the book. Take the big scene with Arya and Sansa from the 6th episode, leading to the cathartic trial and execution of Littlefinger. We got our “wahoo!” moment but based on a misdirection that didn’t fit the logic…

I really have no idea what they do in six episodes in the last season. You can’t have multiple battles against the army of the dead - they never stop coming . So without a wall to fly over or a harbor to sail from, it’s not like they can lose a battle, retreat and then regroup and fight later on. So the only logical…

Assuming the show decides that valonquar is little brother (I don’t think that’s been established yet) I think she’s going to have twins and she’ll die trying to deliver the younger one after the first one is still born or something. This of course assumes she’s actually pregnant which I’m still not certain of.

he has holes in his wings so us stupid, spoon fed watchers of the show can tell him apart from Dragon and Rhaegal next season. Speaking of that, since this show has become so popular and so many people have caught up on it over the years who weren’t “into” fantasy enough to watch it at the beginning until it became a…

Most of these problems could have been solved by simply having either LF or let’s say a chambermaid listening in on the Arya / Sansa argument from last week. I don’t even think it would have taken away that much of the tension in the trial scene, since we still wouldn’t know on which side Sansa actually sat, or if…

How the show ends speculation. So obviously they are not going full on modern democracy with this thing - but I think they edge toward it with a Magna Carta type ending, where the King / Queen is elected by the other noble houses and they have restrictions put on their power. That is all (at least that seems like…
