The Dothraki have been rehabilitated a fair bit since the early days of the series, but I don’t think we are at the level where anyone would entrust them as babysitters, as much as I’d like to see that sequel to Kindergarten Cop.

Lots of fun things that can happen. Definitely one of Jaime/Brienne needs to die, so the other can avenge them. But I think it’ll be the other way around, and that Brienne steps in front of the crossbow to save Jaime. That leaves Jaime still on the board to finish off Cersei. It also gives Tormund and Pod a lot of…

The TV-poetic ending would be a murder suicide. He hugs Cersei and jumps out a high window (some poetic parallels with how one of their kids bit the dust, and Jaime’s one antics with Bran). Or he pours wine into two goblets, Cersei switches hers for his because she’s paranoid, and it is slowly revealed that Jaime…

The practical TV problem with drawing on a character we haven’t seen in so long to save the day is that the show would need to remind you about them in the “previously on” (I don’t remember Daario at all). Once we see it in the “previously on”, it won’t be a surprise anymore.

Yeah, but they were all bad.

The trailer actually gave me some optimism that this movie could be fun to watch, but Sonic himself was not the source of any of that optimism. The human casting seems excellent. I’m totally on board to watch the Jim Carey as Dr. Robotnik movie. 

Cops is only just barely older than The Simpsons. Cops premiered in March ‘89, The Simpsons in December ‘89. But the shorts on The Tracey Ullman Show started earlier, in ‘87.

A car movie starring someone who thinks they’re on a mission from god. That feels oddly familiar.

Story wise, Marvel could bring these characters back, but I think they made a purposeful decision to cut them from Avengers stories going forwards (as they also did with Cap). They’d gotten really expensive as actors, and it was more dramatically interesting to give a conclusion to their stories, then to keep running…

Don’t forget they also had the fight at the wall. This is the retreat from the wall. How many times can you really lose and retreat against this enemy? It was kill or be killed. I think it would’ve felt contrived to drag it out. It was always going to be deus ex machina to wipe out an army this big, and this…

But among those 5 people are the brains of the operation, Sansa, Tyrion and Varys. We’ve seen a battle of the swords, and I think now we get to see a battle of wits.

Writer #1 to the room: “Guys, Melisandre can’t survive this episode. She incinerated a beloved child, and she’s just a complication once the NK threat is over.”

To each his or her own, but I wouldn’t call the Night King the series-long archenemy. It took at least a couple seasons before he was even identified as a character (I don’t recall exactly when - I know they did lay some seeds with the baby stealing stuff early on). And he’s not a well-developed character by any…

This accords with what I saw on screen. I don’t recall seeing Grey Worm in the final moments, when they were panning around other characters. Missy either, for that matter. I could have missed it because the final montage blew by pretty quick and there are a lot of characters to keep track of.

The darkness purposefully conveyed the sensation, “I can’t see anything, what the fuck is going on”, but if you’re the director with an outlandish budget, you have stop and think whether that’s really a good objective to reach for, in the medium of TV.

I think Randall hits the nail on the head with Benioff and Weiss not having the same stones as Martin to kill off beloved characters (but then, even Martin had a habit of bringing them back, as he did with Caitlin, and as he’s going to do with Jon). I stand to be surprised, but I think this season my have fewer…

Except that Cap went back to those alternate timelines to return the stones, and when he stayed there, still somehow wound up in our timeline.

Sadly, 34 is a “ripe old age” for an actress in Hollywood.

Let’s say the pilots didn’t get dusted. Where do the dusted passengers come back?

It was hilarious, though knowing it was a paid Fortnite sponsorship ruined that moment for me a little bit (concurrent with the movie’s release, Fortnite has a bunch of Avengers branded loot).
