As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

Emilia Clarke is kinda, sorta #metooing GoT folks.

She's not really, and more pointing out her inexperience and newness to Hollywood, but she still kind of is...

He's not wrong, but to be fair to the writers of S7, he gave them nothing to work with...

Just finished Shogun. My kid informed me that season 2 has already been greenlit, in spite of the book ending right where season 1 ended, and there was no sequel to the book.

Not a half hour I told him that if there is one universal truth, it's that TV screenwriters think they are better and more talented than the authors who wrote the original story.

And this is despite how many decades of people very publicly saying, "We want the source material. Do not diverge from it."

Got to make it appeal to everyone though, right?

I have a lot of respect for Henry Cavil saying "Fuck this" when the show writers fucked up the Witcher story.

Ditto.

I still had not started S2 when all that shit broke and now I never need to.

Netflix would be one of my top examples of a company that does well despite idiots being in charge.

Kinda...sorta. It turns out that Clavell's Asia books are all about this one family business. Except Shogun. But he does put that family into 19th Japan, and sorta ties it to the Shogun continuity.

Mountain and wife answer the "question everyone asks"
Given the height difference between him and Henson, fans have often wondered how the couple navigates everyday acts of affection.

During an Instagram Q&A, a fan directly asked Henson: “How do you kiss? Do you jump into his arms every time and wrap your legs around his waist? Please post a picture of this impressive action.”
That is not the question everyone asks.

What if ASoIaF has been ghost written up to this point, and the problem is GRRM's ghost writer died?
