    Sansa was stupid, and I'm not giving her an ounce of credit here unless her plan all along was to eliminate Jon and his forces so they weren't a challenge to her own power. If that's the case, I hope she dies swiftly. The simplest explanation is probably the right one here: it's just bad writing, which we've seen too much of this season.

    Marketing for big-budget movies is often equal to production costs. And my understanding is that the box office slowed down greatly in China after its rather huge opening weekend.
  3. Duke Togo
    In the show, maybe; in the books, no.

    I assume that had Jon not gone out after Rickon, that battle plays out MUCH differently. Their defensive battle plan likely would have saved many lives, and they'd have been in a better position when the Vale arrived.

    We're witnessing the new Age of Heroes, and Jon is on a hero's journey. He's special. This has been plain for a long time. That he rode out after Rickon doesn't make him stupid; it makes him human. It's exactly what Ned would have done. In doing so he nearly gets himself killed, but he survives. Why? Because he is meant for greater things. That's how the great mythological tales go. Again, I'll ask you, is your personal vision for the story that everyone dies to the White Walkers? I honestly want to know what you expected out of A Song of Ice and Fire.

    7 next season, 6 in the final season. Also, the War for the Dawn is going to take place in the North, so I expect most of the action to be occurring there.

    As far as the time frame goes, you have to accept that there are significant periods of time passing between episodes. Otherwise GoT would go on for 15 seasons because of how much GRRM has dragged out the story in the books so he can age the younger characters. It's probably safe to say months have passed since episode 1 of this season.

    So, we let them all die then? Let Ramsay rule the North? Sounds like a plan. I assume your preferred version of the end game is the White Walkers come south and kill everyone?
  9. Duke Togo
    Why would we be? We knew it was coming. What did you think was going to happen?

    Well, this movie has pretty much died at the box office. Between the filming budget and the marketing, it's made its money back, but not much more. Unless this does big money in DVD sales, I'd be surprised if we saw a sequel.

    They can't let this slide next episode:

    Nymeria is definitely a Chekhov's gun. Martin said so himself.
  13. Duke Togo
    I suspect Ghost has plot armor.
  14. Duke Togo
    So, um, where was Ghost? Not in the CGI budget? Even Maximus had his dog with him.
  15. Duke Togo
    Well, we all knew how that was gonna go, eh?
  16. Duke Togo
    Saw this earlier, horrible news.
  17. Duke Togo
    I stopped after that first episode. Perhaps I should watch another.
  18. Duke Togo
    I didn't mean him in particular. I just meant one of them.
  19. Duke Togo
    Somebody is going to switch sides.
  20. Duke Togo
    It's pretty clearly Max, Milia, and Hikaru. And whoever called out the potty humor, that was spot on. WTF?
  21. Duke Togo
    It seems like the obvious move.
  22. Duke Togo
    They'll eventually replace Messer with one of the Knights who switches sides.
  23. Duke Togo
    Well, I was wondering more about its staying power than the impression one gets from the first few episodes.
  24. Duke Togo
    Should I bother to check this out?
  25. Duke Togo
    While there is plenty of cool stuff in this episode, it felt like they were trying way too hard to make you care for a 1-dimensional character they had just killed off who you knew nothing about. Hell, I don't know anything about any of these characters.
