Gamebreaker

I was thinking they would do that with the Black Panther sequel as well. Looks like the foreshadowed it with Michonne(can't remember her MCU name) said they were investigating strange earthquake-like activity in the Atlantic Ocean. Maybe with Wakanda taking a more open role in the world, they'll find Atlantis and accidentally cause a confict. Namor and T'challa hate each other in the comics, so they have source material to draw from.

We haven't seen him use it yet. He could very well just use it as just a shield and never master throwing it the way Steve did. There is actually a story arc in the comics where Sam struggled to fight with the shield, especially since he kept the wings and didn't know how to incorporate the two. IMO, I think they'd be better off pushing the X-Men and FF and letting the Avengers fall back a little. The current group is good, and deserves sequels to Black Panther and Captain Marvel, but the general audience will never accept them as the real Avengers, so it's better to let them be different and push actual, accurate, quality films that the X-Men and FF never got.

It's a secret entrance into the Red Keep. How does that lead to a battle in the streets? The point is to secretly get in with a small force and avoid a large scale conflict. And why would she go by herself??? She would send Grey Worm and a small group....it's literally exactly what Tyrion told them to do in order to sack Casterly Rock.

Which completely contradicts how he expected to save the citizens of Kings Landing if Cersei is expected to be there and she isn't. Dany would've still torn up KL looking for her.

The great tactician that is Tyrion Lannister, decides to tell help Jaime get into the Red Keep through the secret entrance, instead of telling Dany about it and finding a way to assassinate Cersei without killing all of those innocent civilians. Yet another reason why for the past two seasons he's only been good for apologizing for being stupid and making sad facial expressions.

I get that, GRRMs work in the first 3 books is exceptional. Not so much with Books 4 and 5, but I get your viewpoint on him. My issue with him is the lack of transparency, I figured he wasn't really working on TWoW years ago, and many rushed to defend him without any reason or proof to back up their optimism. He let them down even harder than he did me. Don't say the writing is going badly, and then stealth launch some side piece **** within the same universe that nobody asked for. Whether it was his publisher pushing for something to do make money with, or Martin taking advantage of the popularity of the series, it's still a smack in the face to the fans. I have no idea if he's still doing his annual "it won't be out this year" statements, I stopped paying attention. I would suggest you give Sanderson a shot. As you said, it's not fair that another author tries to finish work that wasn't originally his, his style is different from Jordan but they are both excellent writers in their own way. Sanderson's original work is amazing. The Mistborn trilogy, and especially the Stormlight Archives, are among the best fiction writing I've ever read. The Stormlight Archives has 3 books out currently, he intends it to go to ten. They're all like 1k pages and there isn't doubt Sanderson won't finish the series. And what I respect about Sanderson is he's very transparent on what he's working on and how long it's taking.

I can understand how you came to that conclusion. My view is based on the fact the deceased PD was a police watchdog, and was actually investigating the lead police coroner for falsifying reports, and that same lead coroner did the report on his autopsy. Which conveniently, for the police, painted the deceased PD as an adulter who accidentally died of a cocaine overdose. My assertion that they murdered him and then covered it up isn't based on any hard evidence, it's all circumstantial, but based upon seeing eerily similar circumstances occur with the Baltimore PD and it turn out they absolutely did those things.

If it came down to him, they'd throw his weak ass through the moon door immediately.

How do you think the article put it?

Just bad storytelling when you have to explain that in interviews or behind the scenes stuff after the episode. I'm sure it's just BS anyway, what did these battle hardened Dorthraki do? Rushed the army of the dead and then played dead in the darkness and stayed there until the battle was over? They know they can't explain it, so they don't go into details.

Still don't understand how the Dothraki keep multiplying their numbers after being completely decimated in The Long Night. I mean, we saw like 6 of those guys running for their life at the beginning of that battle. Yet at Kings Landing, they're are like a third of the Golden Company.

https://www.npr.org/2019/05/13/722745266/san-francisco-police-raid-journalists-home-after-he-refuses-to-name-source San Fran Police abuse call kinds of authority in order to get a reporter to dilvulge one of his sources. Instead of, I dunno, actually trying to figure out who in their dept has or allegedly has killed a public defender and set it up to be a drug overdose/suicide. Yet another example of how police departments all across the nation operate like the very elements of society they are supposed to be protecting us from.

I have no problem with Dany going mad, I've expected it to end that way for years. It's how they went about it that has people disappointed in how it turned out. Having her do that after she won, to just murder innocent people all across KL instead of flying her dragon directly to the Red Keep, just shows the lack of care the showrunners have for the story. If she went to the Red Keep and burned it down, saw Cersei or heard Cersei escaped, and then decided to burn the whole city to finish her I'd see people get her madness a little better. But she knew exactly where Cersei was, and still targeted people who were completely innocent. Her father's madness was always justified by a reason, and not necessarily good reasons. What is Dany's reason to do what she did? It's not that big a deal to me, I stopped caring how this ended years ago when I realized GRRM had no intentions on finishing this series. But I understand where alot of the critical fans are coming from. Tyrion has been out of character for two seasons, but no more out of character than this last episode. They actually wrote the story to allow the two incest twins to have their dying moment together, like Cersei deserved that and Jaime hadn't been written as a redemption from that for the majority of the series. The actor who plays Grey Worm annoys the hell out of me. Dude has two facial expressions, scowl and angry scowl. I really can't tell how broken up he is about Melissandei dying since he's been using those two expressions like she was already dead all season.

Just hire Connelly already. He can talk now, let's get this done.

Essentially, this season comes down to Dany going mad ultimately because Jon refused to give her the pipe when she really needed it. If he would've just put her ass to sleep none of this would've happened.

I don't buy that excuse. Jon and Dany marrying and ruling together was the most obvious and easiest solution to this problem. They could even come out with Jon's true heritage at that point, since Targs are known to intermarry. They just made really poor excuses to dismiss it because they needed Dany to to bad. This is what happens when the writers are no longer organically writing what these fleshed out characters would do, and instead are shoehorning everyone's decisions to follow a specific path. If they wanted to sell this Dany is power hungry heel turn better, they should've had Jon agree to a union and all of her advisors be supportive of that. Only for Dany to decline it at the last minute, and when pressed, lash out that she doesn't want to share the iron throne with anyone. That would've made it more believable to me than basically Dany hating hearing a lot of bells and lost it.

Mad at the person in the red keep who killed your best friend, decides to kill everyone but her.

In regards to the Columbia student and the library, the additional context says after 11pm everyone has to show their ID when they walk in. But it is a rule that is rarely enforced. When it is enforced, it almost always enforced on a PoC.

My theory...Jon didn't say goodbye or pet Ghost because the writers completely forgot Ghost existed until fans started making noise about him never being around. So then they added a CG version of him, post production. And shot that one scene between Jon and Giantsbane explaining why we won't get any more Ghost for the rest of the series. The same was done for the Battle of Winterfell, they added Ghost running into battle with the Dothraki and you never see him again. They couldn't add him in anything else with that episode without making it obvious that he wasn't really a part of the script.

The second season wasn't as good as the first, but the show had some nice eye candy to look at. Maybe the show will get a second life on Disney+.

He knew Jaime was coming and waited in the yard for him. He may not know the future with pinpoint accuracy like he does the past, but he either knows bits and pieces or knows multiple futures.

The bolded: The Dothraki have been very quiet, unseen, obedient soldiers since touching down in Westeros. I mean, no pillaging, nothing. It's as if Dany burning all of their Khals in that temple also burned their culture and personalities. I guess they are a more of a casualty of not having enough time for that kind of development. i do agree with Brienne and Theon dying. Their story arcs are completed. There is nothing more for them to do but die heroically. I basically believe in all of the secondary character deaths but The Hound...he still needs to make his way back to KL to face his undead brother.

It's going to break everyone's heart when little lady Mormont dies and is reanimated as a WW. It just occurred to me that is why they included the scene of her refusing to hide in crypts with the rest of the women and children.

I agree on all except Arya. I think Arya survives, but Gendry will die. Brienne is definitely going to die, probably saving Jaime in the process. Greyworm will die in battle and Missandei will die later(I'm going to miss her). I also think Jorah, Edd, Tormund and Beric Dondarrion are going to die too.

Now that is a different take on the prophecy, and it makes sense. I can't remember it word for word, but I recalled it saying the Prince would kill his wife and remove a flaming sword to defeat the WW threat. Lyanna died giving birth to Jon/Aegon, so maybe stabbing her with "his sword" is literally talking about impregnating her.
