LA Confidential is THE ultimate adaptation for me - it keeps a few of the major plot points but isn’t afraid to change and slash away what it needs to to work as a film. Despite all the changes it manages to capture the feel of the book perfectly.

If their sensors are so good why do they need to spend so much time tootling about exploring the galaxy. There must have been a more dramatic way to show the Klingons had won than the map revealing itself - finding themselves in the middle of a battle or something? Probably ran out of time or money so had to go with a…

It wasn’t amazing, but it was still probably the strongest first series of modern trek (I’ve never really watched the original series). Hopefully they will successfully build on what they have.

Even if the White Album had triggered Manson’s Helter Skelter (sadly this needs saying now, but I think that would be a very bad thing), it would still be better than Attack of the Clones. And I find that the most watchable prequel. 

The prequels aren’t as good as Maxwell’s Silver Hammer

They could have used ‘drop scone’

The Porgs are key to all this

I think one of the many problems with the internet is that now all those conversations you may have had occasionally with a few friends who shared your interests are played out endlessly with a cast of thousands. In caps.

Where next after this? As others have said, the fact we will never see the Leia centered Episode IX is terrible. I think the intention was likely always to skip forward a number of years, perhaps a bigger jump than we had in the original trilogy. I think the best idea would be to open with Leia’s funeral - it would be…

The Ten Commandments

It’s not about the number of episodes, it’s about structuring the story they’re telling to the episodes they have. All of the Netflix Marvel series, including the shorter Defenders, have had this problem. They’ve had enough chance to course correct, and God knows there’s enough decent tv to watch nowadays, so I don’t…

I get the impression those scenes were thought up to represent a toxic web forum, I can’t help thinking there might have been a more effective way to portray something like that on the screen. 

If the wight dragon does end up bringing down the wall (and surely that is what is going to happen), would the lord of light not have been better off giving everyone visions of staying the fuck away from the undead army and just leaving them be north of the wall?

Presumably Viserion can be killed by one of Qyburn’s ballistas with a dragonglass bolt.

Sam took way too long to get to the Citadel - other than filling up time in the relevant episodes, he may as well have made it at the end of season 5 and then disappeared for the whole of 6.

That's the thing, as it's never been mentioned in the show it'll be a bit disappointing if in episode 6 someone mentions this horn might be magic and in episode 7 someone does a Jericho.

The wall has to come down, but I don't think the show has really set up a method of doing this. Has it?

"Feeds on junk"

The author of this article doesn't know how the calendar works so I think we may have a while to wait for a full understanding of movies.

Good, you only have yourself to blame
