Lindsay Ellis had a fantastic point in her autopsy of The Hobbit trilogy when she noted that, while there is a spectrum of women’s representation in fantasy, from what is essentially gender-as-nonissue-equality in something like Skyrim, to depictions like the ASOIAF book series where misogyny is not only assumed, but…

Instead of this movie, does anyone wanna see this new Lindsay Ellis video about Disney screwing over Robin Williams and leading the floodgates open to movies who rely on a-list celebrity voice talent alone?
Westereros.
The choices D&D made re: character changes and beats from the books to the show are interesting, particularly Dany, Cersei, and Jaime; maybe Sansa and Bran, too. Based on how their arcs shape up, things they’ve said in the commentary, I think they disagreed with Martin on a few things that feel fundamentally…
I’m also with the internet theory that Young Griff is a Blackfyre, a product of Ilyrio’s marriage to a Blackfyre woman (explains the Golden Company support). Wasn’t he raised to be a just and good King since he was little? That might be enough for Varys, he just wants a decent ruler. But who knows?
Adding to this list - the show has had a decidedly more sympathetic view of House Lannister that could cause several of their arcs to play out differently.
-Jaime has been in a sort of mental freefall since returning to King’s Landing in ASoS that has ultimately been leading him to the conclusion ‘My family is toxic as…
Look what Anna Gunn had to go through for playing a character who served veggie bacon.

BTW, did you hear Angelique Kidjo’s full album cover of _Remain in Light_ last year? Fucking incredible.
Take a look at these hands. TAKE A LOOK AT THESE HANDS!
The film is based on the 1959 book of the same name by Cornelius Ryan. It’s a great read. Ryan also wrote A Bridge Too Far.
Yes, the server and the cooks screwed up, but they did offer something free in return. It might not have been what the letter writer wanted,
The only problem is they didn’t “offer” it, they simply served it without asking. I agree with your point otherwise, but that is a big difference.
In the show, Littlefinger bargained away his most valuable chess piece to a stranger that he did not know and did not take the time to learn about. That stranger subsequently brutalized that valuable chess piece, thereby alienating her from Littlefinger forever and ultimately resulted in Littlefinger’s demise.
1- Danny is poisoned by the little girl from the last episode, Sir know nothing takes the Throne.
2- Danny rain dragon fire on Jon, to no effect, as he is immune to fire. Jon is made king and flash 20 years in the future he is a fat old King who drinks too much and talks about his adventures as a much younger man.

I’ve noticed a real trend among the edge lords ever since this happened. Not only are they heavy into the ‘we were right, you were wrong’ gloating and so forth, somehow it’s become a part of their identity that you MUST admit that they were correct all along and that you were lazy and never paid attention to the show…
I think it’s pretty shitty of her high school to sell ad space at the diamond to white supremacy groups from seven surrounding counties. It’s not the message we should be giving to kids, and it takes away from her accomplishment. Sad.
I’m completely stumped as to what ambiguity she thinks we’re supposed to see in replying “No it’s not” to “Great news on your renewal!”
Yeah. In addition to the failure to conceive with Jaime, I always wondered how she only had one kid with Robert Baratheon when she was presumably sleeping with him during the years when she conceived all her kids, as he didn’t question their paternity.
