What’s adding to my frustration is I think they could have gotten to the same place without all this time-bending with very few alterations. Just having Dany already be at Eastwatch would fix most of it and you could manage that with just a minor dialog change and putting the scene with her leaving in earlier. She…

The only outcome I’ll accept for the Sansa/Arya nonsense is that Arya (and Arya alone) is fucking with Littlefinger. It’d explain her creepy conversations towards Sansa and leaving the faces out for her to find (not even tucked under the mattress), not to mention going in line with that ever popular Stark tactic…
Now playing
Time to re-watch both of these then...
I’m hopeful for Arya from this point onward, but Bran? Bran is the host to a psychic brain parasite, he’s basically dead but his body keeps going because someone else is in there now.
Black writers and actors need work just like anyone else, so of course they’re going to be able to find people willing to be part of this show, but that doesn’t at all take away from the fact that the show concept itself is the product of Benioff and Weiss, two white guys (who have apparently wanted to do something…
This reminds me, I really need get myself a nice quality print of Beardsley’s The Lacedaemonian Ambassadors...
I was hoping it would be a cannon, since they’ve been using wildfire for several seasons now and “stick this in a tube to propel a projectile” is a reasonable step forward in technology.
I really liked how Nymeria’s mini pack had wolves that were doubles for all of the stark direwolves.
I’m not sure where it was (Dorne I would guess, since it doesn’t look like Theon is going to freeze to death in the water), but I would guess Euron would know (via Cercei and her allies) that the Dornish fleet was still in Sunspear, so he probably just parked up and waited for his nieces fleet to come past.
These people are so goddamn close to inventing the cannon it’s starting to drive me mad. YOU HAVE ALL THE COMPONENT PARTS, JUST STICK WILDFIRE IN A TUBE!
YES OH MY GOD, wear a mask Sam for fuck’s sake!
Letter writing pro-tip:
Just in case this needs reiterating (HA!) to any of those people who think the idea of The Doctor being a woman is some act of retconning by Moffat or RTD or the BBC or whoever, please remember that the series co-creator Sydney Newman was floating the idea of a gender swap regeneration in 19-frigging-86.
There’s really nothing no, Doctor Who’s lore is very comic booky, in that no one ever sat down and worked out rules for the universe it’s just all been penned on the fly by different writers at different times, with them picking and choosing from each others rule sets in whatever way suits them.
It happened partly as a result of Romero fudging the copyright to the film, so it became public domain almost immediately, as a result there were reedits doing with rounds with comedy redubs, and any channel or cinema that wanted to show it could do so without paying. Even in the 90's I recall TV spots for a screening…
I know it’s Dawn for a lot of people but my favourite of his zombie movies will always be the first. I was introduced to Night of The Living Dead by my father, who adores it (he has very few favourite movies and it’s one of them) sincerely, and didn’t like the mocking it used to get (which thankfully seems to no…
I cannot think of a worse fiction to even attempt to play the “but it’s not realistic!” game with than Doctor Who, its world has virtually no consistent logic and lore.
I invite anyone who feels like they’ve had something “taken away” from them by The Doctor no longer being a bloke to watch any of the other over 700* episodes still available with a male doctor in, they do still exist.
I’m really glad they went with someone slightly lesser known this time, yes I saw Attack the Block and I remember her Black Mirror ep as well but she wasn’t a hugely established actor like Capaldi or 90% of the suggestions people were throwing around for women to take the role. Look forward to seeing how she does.
