    I feel the same way, only three movies did manage to scare me:

    I just posted this! Exactly.

    Lol! All my nightmares are me, still in school, at the end of the year facing a final. I hadn’t done my homework in a year and I was in big trouble.

    Blair Witch scared me tremendously. I’m not sure what about it scared me, but definitely the “reality” of their situation - lost in the woods, with no way out. Weird symbols appearing. That scene you described.

    Same. The thought of careening through space, powerless until I run out of oxygen, is one of the scariest scenarios I can imagine.

    Same.

    It is very hard for me to get spooked. Even King’s books don’t do it. At best, they disturb me on a fundamental level, but I can turn off the light and sleep just fine.

    This is not a popular opinion, but here goes:

    I’m just going to put this out there, and then back away slowly. . .

    First of all, yes. Warner Bros had a binding contract. Second of all, unlike GRRM, Rowling had actually plotted the entire course of the books long before they were written, which is how everything had continuity and tied in nicely at the ends based on foreshadowing even as far back as in the first book.

    Like someone else said, if burning people with greyscale was pointless, I think people would have figured it out by then.

    Okay. Am I wrong here or isn’t Stannis actually older than Robert?

    Lol. That sounds exactly right. “It’s a shame she isn’t old enough to have her stripped naked first.”

    It basically just felt like they went, “ok, let’s throw in some more horrible stuff because that’ll make everybody think we’re super edgy.”

    Based on what we saw in the last episode, I think Stannis is not, nor has he ever been, a self-sacrificing kind of guy.

    I don’t know why people are saying that it’s a foregone conclusion that Jon will have to be resurrected? I know it’s ambiguous as to whether he’s died, but it’s not an absolute.

    Oh mark my words. There WILL be more than seven seasons.

    Which brings to another key point: ROBERT WAS ALSO A USURPER.

    He’s definitely the most Macbethian.

    You don’t think Snape was a cool character? He had his bad points, sure, but he was pretty much the definition of a complex character for JK Rowling. And he was the mirrored image of Harry’s mom, in which their love for someone brings about redemption.
