13 episodes would be fine if they threw some one-off's in there and didn't insist on stretching one story out to 13 episode. I liked Jessica Jones, but I would've like to have seen 5 episodes of her doing PI stuff in a superhero world followed by 8 episodes of the Purple Man arc. Instead, we had to just repeat the…

It's hard for me to imagine someone casually going "I kinda liked Captain America. I guess I'll find a specialty store and go there at the right time for six consecutive months so that I can pay $30 to piece together a complete story."

Not only heartless, but dumb enough to go "Yes. Half a dead baby is at least somewhat valuable."

Yeah. Relying on there being one person who would go "Sure. Half a dead baby is good enough for me" is pretty sketchy.

Fair point.

Is it not? My bad.

I guess we just have to accept that unarmored Dothraki light horse can just smash right through armored pikemen and heavy horse because . . . we've been told they're badasses?

Arya was trained as a sneaky assassin. Her showing her teeth like that was dumb and out of character.

The "no one really believes in the Jedi two decades later" only works if the Jedi were a loose-knit group of mysterious wandering warrior-monks (as implied originally). It doesn't make a lot of sense when the Jedi were space-bureaucrats who went to negotiate tax agreements.

Of course not! It's just like how we Americans call WWII "the Great Britain War."

It was also an explanation to a question no one asked. Some people are Mozart, and some people can barely peck out Chopsticks no matter how much they practice. You don't need a microbe to explain this. Same deal with the Force.

Lucas also understood this, originally. All Kenobi's yammering about the Clone Wars was just to make you think "wow, there's a lot going on with this galaxy!" Then, he decided we needed to see the Clone Wars. And we all know how that went.

We3 is a good pick. "Home is . . . run no more" also made me get a bit misty.

They are legit. Not as fast as Amazon, and you'll pay shipping unless you order a bunch.

Yeah - the Drowned God is real, and maybe a small fraction of those "resurrections" are magic (like with Euron), but 99 times out of 100, it's just CPR.

Regarding the "two brothers," I just assumed she forgot Rickon ever existed. Like most people.

The books make it pretty clear that Iron Islanders just know CPR. No magic there (at least most of the time).

How about the dread Crimson King being . . . an old man with a box of grenades?

Yeah. They could've filmed the Gunslinger in Spain or something for like, $50M.

He's probably too old now, but I always pictured Ed Harris.
