In that screen cap above I’m pretty sure he was in front of miniature props, which were meant to make him look bigger (and that this is also why he was alone in the frame). The show alternates between a real dog and a CGI model depending on what they can get away with. When he’s CGI he tends to be a giant, as…

And Arya’s direwolf (Nymeria) isn’t dead. She just ran off.

Bran is still hanging out with his dead dire wolf. He was playing fetch with him during the battle last episode.

That is definitely an interesting possibility.

In this episode they had the populace crowd into the red keep to serve as human shields.

I think it would be very interesting to have Cersei kill Jaime in episode 5, and then have him resurface in episode 6, and for Cersei to think she’s lost her mind.

“reckoning”. Read the whole sentence. And pay attention to the context. Female empowerment is obviously not a new concept, but if you don’t think there’s been a recent trend towards female empowerment in mainstream TV and movies, or that it’s not in stark contrast to decades of women being predominantly relegated to…

I don’t have the inside story of the Venezuelan military, but if you’re suggesting that everyone got in line behind Stalin, look up the “Great Purge”. 

Hader won an Emmy for this show, like 6 months ago.

I think the pivot to Mad Queen might be a fake out, and that Dany will cool off and figure out a solution that doesn’t involve torching civilians.

I think it was cloudy in the preview clip? Maybe that’s the kryptonite of these crossbows: clouds.

It’s the soapiest plot line of the season, but I can’t deny that it makes things more interesting. There needs to be more drama with Cersei’s leadership within King’s Landing. It’s nuts to me that the worst, most cruel leader, with the weakest possible claim to the throne, has armies just lining up to fight for her.…

I just love that there is now a procession of solo assassins all on a mission to kill someone in King’s Landing.

I think we could use someone inside King’s Landing—anyone, really—who is following Cersei, but scared of her, or who is feigning loyalty, but could flip if Cersei goes too far. We should have someone on that wall, even if it’s just one of the archers, look horrified that Cersei mercilessly ordered a lady beheaded. Or…

I’m not a Jeopardy! fan that has strong views about any of this, but it doesn’t seem like a game that lends itself very well to head-to-heads among champions. Both these guys know the questions to at least 85% of the answers. It’s predominantly just a game of who pushes the little red button the quickest, which isn’t…

There’s no meaningful difference between digital and analog on the raw depth of color that it picks up (the much bigger limitation is on how much color you can reproduce on the screen viewing it), and there’s certainly no limitation on how you can grade / white balance the color (the fact that you can do it in real…

I’m a little shocked to see an actual cinematographer complaining about digital being awful - and for that argument to not be remotely specific or technical (it gets “washed up in the computer”). It’s pretty well demonstrated at this point that digital cameras capture really good images. It’s just an aesthetic…

Yes, we know that Sophie T has overtaken J Law as the “it girl” because Sophie’s starring in Dark Phoenix. Whereas J Law is... also starring in Dark Phoenix.

Exception: Jimmy Fallon.

Fuck you, don’t tell me what TV to watch. “2 seasons ago”, for this show, means episodes that aired three years ago. I remember the Mereen story just fine, but I couldn’t pick the bland white dude who had a tryst with Dany out of a lineup.
