Yep. I don't care for the show's version of Euron either. They've stripped the character of the mysticism that made him so interesting in the books. Here, he's just a crude, horny psychopath propping up Cersei until his inevitable demise.

The "Game of Thrones" title implies whiteness, I guess? Huh. Who knew that battles for political supremacy were an exclusively white phenomenon…

“We were very hyper aware of the difference between a show with a fictional history and a fictional world, and a show that’s an alternate history of this world. We plan, all of us I think, to approach Confederate in a much different spirit, by necessity, than we would approach a show named Game of Thrones.”

Nope.

"Jon's dismissal of Sansa's ideas because she's a woman is a complete betrayal of the character."

All of that probably would have happened even if Jon had coldly abandoned Rickon as a lost cause. Ramsay was deliberately sacrificing his men to block the escape of the Stark loyalist troops and box them in. It was only the timely arrival of Littlefinger and his forces from the Vale that swung the tide of the battle…

But if he had the horn, surely he would have presented it to Cersei in the throne room? Honestly, I think what Euron offers will, like the character himself, be much simpler: a hostage for the Lannisters, such as the Sand Snakes.

I'd like to think that D+D are headed in a different direction, but I expect the show's version of Euron will end up being a somewhat charming psychopath who does terrible things on behalf of Cercei, then falls when she does. In the books, it has always seemed like his machinations are a tad more complex and connected…

I was expecting a version of Beric's speech from the books about the things he can't remember, and was kind of disappointed when that didn't happen. Oh well.

I don't mind the show slowing the progression of their alienation, but Jaime's continued presence in King's Landing is beginning to stretch credulity. In addition to killing the Tyrells, Cercei also murdered her own father's brother when she blew up the Sept of Baelor last season. She is content to rule over the ashes…

Plus, there's other land for Jon to distribute among Stark loyalists, including the Dreadfort and its surrounding lands. Seizing the Umber and Karstark homes isn't exactly necessary.

Still not thrilled with the actor who's playing Euron. I know they've combined the character with Victarion, but Pilou Asbæk's bland psychopath routine isn't all that interesting. Granted, Euron's a psychopath in the books as well, but he's surrounded by an air of mystery and exudes a certain gravitas. Without any of…

But Jon was not simply being honorable to a fault. He also recognized that the North will need as many people as possible to survive the existential threat of the Walkers. In this instance, I think the honorable thing to do also happened to be the most pragmatic thing.

In fairness, Sansa's greatest contribution last season was telling Littlefinger, "Sure, I'll take that massive army you offered me." Everything else she told Jon was basic bits of information about not underestimating Ramsay, not exactly the most brilliant advice.

Not at all. I think Sansa's argument would have some merit pre-winter, but Jon has a point in that the North needs to band together to face the White Walkers. Alienating two Northern families by seizing their ancestral homelands represents the kind of small-minded political squabbling that's missing the forest for the…

I'm glad I'm not the only one to hold this opinion. It's not the best film to come out of this franchise, but it has a pretty light, fun tone that I enjoyed. The Jacob and Credence storylines were unexpectedly affecting. Hell, I even found Redmayne completely fine in the role, even though we're all supposed to hate…

I was wondering where that music came from.

Glover isn't acting here so much as playing a heightened version of himself. As someone who attended one of his film screenings years ago and briefly spoke with him afterwards, the dude's odd (in a disarmingly polite way). He speaks every word as if he's smiling, even when he's not. It's not a style that will work for…

It would have been pretty awesome if Media taking the form of Scully had made her introduction as one of the interrogators, messing with Shadow's mind before Mr. World came into the room. But the Monroe entrance was spectacular as well.
