I’m still mad at this movie. It gave us the most competent, kick ass, self assured, brilliant female cast, then then resolved the second act by making them run crying/groveling to the mountain men. Fuck that and the horse it rode it on.

KINJA sucks, I know it looked like I was replying to the post about the night king, but it was really one farther up.  I want Arya to kill Cersei, not the NK,

Jaime can lure Cersei into letting her guard down, but Arya better get to do the stabbing.  

I thought it was hilarious that it took spending less than 2 minutes with the Hound and Beric to push Arya to “get some while the gettin’s good.”

There must have been a little money left in the budget so they added him in post production.  

I don’t want anyone to take that pleasure from Arya.  

I don’t want anyone to take that honor from Arya.  

Finally, a Ghost sighting!  

Whether that should have been possible or not.  I can’t get over it.  He’s going to die saving Tyrion or Brienne or both and I’ll heave a sigh of relief and say, “Finally.”  I’m well aware that I’m probably completely on my own there.   

So, are we going to talk about Hannibal Buress’s PE teacher and the CapPSA running gag?  This was a great movie. 

I loved his pep talk to himself when he realizes no one can help him but him. “Common, Spider-Man!  Common Spider-Man!”

When the pan paused on the troll doll Peter had put in the orb that Yondu had kept on his dash, that’s when my waterworks started. 

They’ve turned Josh into Princess Peach for Mario/Margot to rescue from the castle!

Alice as a character had a much harder time with vulnerability, which you didn’t get until you saw her interact with her mother, then it was pretty clear why she had mithril coat under her emotional suit of armor. Alice’s stiff and stilted interactions make a lot more sense now than they did the first few seasons.  

I get where you are coming from, but I can appreciate the show as separate from the books. Honestly, there’s a lot about the show I much prefer to the books. I have a lot of questions about how they are going to stick the landing if they try to go back to the books for the end, but maybe, like this episode, it will…

It’s a real testament to how good most of the actors on this show are that we like them despite their deeply, deeply flawed characters. The vulnerability shown by most of the cast at some point in their respective arcs is so engaging.

I’m not crying, you’re crying! Fuck me, I’m going to miss him on this. The most disappointing thing was not letting Eliot have more of a reaction. That was a fantastic relationship.  I guess this is officially Julia’s story now.  

AoU isn’t bad now.  Having seen all the MCU movies since have cleared up most of what was unclear about the plot/stones. The only part I still don’t like is banner rolling over so easy for Tony when they create vision. I really wanted an slap”Snap out of it!” Moment. 

At least they didn’t rely on a watery tart to establish a system of governance.  

I don’t know if anyone else has pointed this out, but I really love that they used Leia’s Theme for the music over the trailer.  I’m still not over it.
