Re: Ava DuVernay criticizes total lack of female directors on Game of Thrones (video)

I do think that from S1 to now, we have actually gone a bit down in terms of representation behind the camera/desk. We had writers like Jane Espenson in S1 (she wrote my favorite episode of all time, perhaps), but that changed as D&D decided to take up more of the writing duties themselves. I guess ...

Re: Sansa? Really?

Personally, I think that the writing was a bit sloppy in this arc, but overall I think I can understand what they were trying to do. Note that I have similar issues with the writing on WestWorld (which I also love) so this isn't to say that it's a total failure of an arc. Just has some holes. I beli...

Re: Theories, Wild Theories, & General Lunacy

The Night King will be the the third dragon rider and originally a Targaryen. Wow, cool idea! But wasn't the NK supposed to be the dude that the Children of the Forest sacrificed with the dragonglass dagger in the scene Bran saw? Meaning he must have been a first man, not a Targ since the context w...

Re: Theories, Wild Theories, & General Lunacy

Another question, what theories do people have about who the "Younger" person in Cersei's prophecy is? Here's the relevant conversation from the flashback: Cersei: I'm promised to the prince. When will we marry? Maggy: You will Never wed the prince. You will wed the king. Cersei: But I will be queen...

Re: Theories, Wild Theories, & General Lunacy

The Prince who was Promised: We have heard Melisandre mention that a few times, and chosen ones and what not. I don't believe there is only one. I believe there are multiple. Even Beric Dondarion. It could me more of those who truly believe in fighting the great war and ending in the long night. I'...

Re: Theories, Wild Theories, & General Lunacy

Speaking of Valeryian Steel I'm somewhat fond of the theory that the idea of a Last Hero + 12(??) companions revival could happen, with each wielding a VS weapon against the others. Long Claw - is currently Jons but if Jon gets a dragon maybe he doesn't need the sword and could let Jorah use it? Oat...

Re: Theories, Wild Theories, & General Lunacy

For my part, I still ascribe to A+J = T aka T=Targ aka "three heads has the dragon". I was convinced after reading adwd and hearing about the shenanigans with Aerys molesting Johanna Lannister. TO be fair the show hasn't done as much with it as the books yet... but the same could have been said abou...

Re: GoT General Discussion Guidelines

Hi Sue. Thanks for the forum! :D If something is long past much chance of happening in the books, is it OK to discuss w/o spoiler coding here (LSH for example, or discussion about Sansa taking the place of Jeyne Poole)? Should I use spoiler coding still, or is that fair game? I am also wondering, wh...
