What I'm really curious about is what they're going to do with the Boltons. I'm pretty sure they were supposed to lose to Stannis in the books, clearing them out and setting up an epic siege at Winterfell that Dany is going to break in Book 7 (hence the name, "Winter-fell").

Wasn't he at the Wall, or about to leave it when Jon Snow was "killed"? God only knows what they'll do with him now that Stannis is dead.

No Jon Snow, obviously. But the hair can't lie, HBO! We know you haven't let Kit Harrington cut off his contractual obligation hair yet.

If you're going for the biscuits, don't bother. If you follow the instructions on the biscuit mix to cook them, they'll actually come out better than the restaurant ones.

I wonder if the ending will work, though, without being inside of the main character's head during and after it like in the book. So much of it is tied into his reaction towards it.

The Long Walk would make a great awards season movie if done right.

Wow, so there might be a Stephen King film with an ending even more depressing than that of The Mist.

Is the movie called A High-Budget Cyberpunk Film? That sounds so generic.

From what they cut out from the books, namely Sansa' impending marriage to the guy who stands to inherit the Vale if little Robert dies, and what is almost certainly going to be her turning the tables on Littlefinger to cause him to flee into the Riverlands (where he'll get killed by UnCatelyn).

Turner says that Sansa now “commands the respect that she deserves and she grabs hold of it and she runs with it and it’s really good,” adding that the show’s fans will finally get “that storyline” that they’ve “been craving for the past five seasons.”

When they're done adapting that, they can then adapt the fantasy series set in the distant future of that setting where Kovacs is basically a god. It's like getting Game of Thrones and The Expanse for the price of one!

It'll be different, for sure. The real-life Deadwood lost much of its population in 1879, got electric lights and electricity in the early 1880s, and actually had a small railroad come through right about ten years after the events in the show.

Holy shit, that's awesome. They're going to have to compensate for the passage of time (maybe set it ten years later?), which might actually work quite well with how the third season ended - it's very amenable to a time skip.

It's too bad. That looked good in the trailers, and not in a "scream queen" way - just in a psychological horror way.

The show has diverged so much from the books that there's really only three things it can definitively spoil - and the fandom has more or less already nailed down what one of those things probably is.

Holy shit, 2017. Can you believe that it's been nearly seven years since the first Avatar movie came out? What, is James Cameron building an entire underwater city at the bottom of the Pacific for this one?

Matt Damon's rich and prominent enough that he doesn't have to sign on to a multi-movie comic book deal to make big money. Good for him - it sounds like a whole ton of work in terms of movie-making and promoting the films.

Roland's appearance doesn't really matter, but I agree that it would be bad to change Susannah - I'm just saying I could totally imagine the showrunners using "hey, we have a black Roland!" as an excuse for casting a white, conventionally attractive Susannah.

Well, that would be different. I'm trying and failing to imagine Elba channeling Clint Eastwood, although I bet he could do it and it would be impressive to behold.
