I was thinking something along those lines too so I’m glad I wasn’t the only one crazy about their view of the ending. My take was that Viscery’s was testing her and putting her in a Catch-22 situation because he doesn’t quite know whether to fully trust her. If Rhaenyra took it, it would mean tactically admitting she…

That’s how I saw it too, that it was a bit like rape. He clearly knew how much trouble he could get in and he clearly did not want to have sex with her but also knew he didn’t really have a choice.

I get that characterization and it’s definitely a thread in his actions and words but he doesn’t give off a lot of confidence in these decisions because he doesn’t seem very confident when he gives them. For instance, he did announce that his daughter was to be his successor but it doesn’t sound like he’s spent the…

I think Rhaenyra is the most interesting character in the show but the time jump isn’t serving her well. They made it out in the earlier episodes that she was actually pretty worthy of ruling everything but now they just show her being broody teenager and being stupid and dumb- as 17 year olds with family issues will…

The final battle was kind of stupid. Crabfeeder’s whole strategy this entire time was to keep his men hidden in the caves so a dragon or other armies can’t get to him and so what does he do when lonely ole Daemon is just out there by himself? Sends most of his army out of the caves and into the open. I also know that…

What a long, strange ring it’s been

Obligatory, it gets better as the season progresses comment here. Although, for the sake of honesty, not too much better but just enough to enjoy it

“Don’t put a ring on it”

Note- FBI says band is worthy of more investigation as they proclaim themselves to be the young generation and, quote, they have something to say, unquote. Also claim to be Believers which could be code for belief in Marxist idealogy

There was also a wide range of personalities that completely changed the tenor of the show depending on the scene. So, if say, you were bored by the super seriousness of Dany’s scenes, you’d go to those spunky Stark girls and then all the cynical machinations in King’s Landing. Every character here so far are just…

That’s sort of what my issues are in that I don’t really care that much about the characters as of yet (Targaryeans were not my favorites) and I’m not sure the stakes are that high. I mean, we know that the stakes get way higher. There’s also not enough character or world building to draw me in as of yet

This is a very tough movie to watch and a lot of it has to do with the range of emotions that Sheryl Lee has to portray and she hits them all. One of those performances you can see an actor/actress through their entire heart and soul into and it’s a shame that her career didn’t do better but I suppose that comes with…

Here’s why the Black Death could be bad for the Democrats during Mid Terms

He promised everyone (including HBO) that he’d have at least one of the books finished. He did not 

I really wish George would STFU until he owns up to some responsibility for this mess. It’s totally unfair to criticize the people who did the show for not doing a good job finishing the story which he himself can’t finish. D&D got handed a really bad hand and a lot of that hand was dealt by George. And yet he always…

He was the Doctor! And he was great (and could also play very terrifying).

I’ll be watching but the whole story doesn’t really seem that exciting. Or at least compared to the original series. I’m not quite sure why we should be that excited or interested in what essentially is a royal dynasty established only by the mere fact they have dragons.

I like what you said but while Jimmy is not Saul, Jimmy still had the heart and soul of a conman. The person who eventually drove Chuck to kill himself was Jimmy and not Saul. What Jimmy became at the end was a Jimmy who was free of all his demons and guilt. He accepted responsibility for what he did and why he did it…

The Chuck and Jimmy relationship is so great in that they’re both right and they’re both wrong. Or it’s a chicken vs the egg kind of thing. Was Chuck right in what he thought of Jimmy (probably) or did he drive Jimmy to become what he became (probably). Just a really toxic, complicated, well done piece of writing and…

It was a weird thing about this and the finale. The show was never meant to be some sort of big, prestige-y show with a huge online presence. Kind of like how Breaking Bad became. Since it did, it was like the show runners felt the need to do some sort of big, epic, grand finale because it became the kind of show…
