Quote HistoryQuoted: So like I said: Davos' biggest contribution to team Jon was scaring a 10 year old to pledge 62 men by telling her the monsters are going to get her and Melisandre's biggest contribution to Team Jon was bringing Jon back from the dead. It seems pretty obvious to me who the MVP there is. Besides, the whole "Davos brought Lyanna in so he is more important than Melisandre" argument rings hollow considering without Melisandre Jon and Davos would not have even been there. |

Does this mean that we won't see Mellisandra's nice tits anymore? Just watch the Tudors on Netflix... I'm fairly sure Carice van Houten wasn't in 'The Tudors.' I read it too fast. I thought you were talking about the young queen that died in the explosion. Melliasandra isn't dead so there is till hope for boob shots. Besides since they lost their shooting location because the owner didn't want to be part of what he called "Porn of Thrones" the show really tamed down with the boobies.

Haven't seen her for a while. Kind of wondering how he is going to show up. The Reed girl can't hardly move Bran from one side of the tree to the other by herself. Is the Nights Watch, what's left of it, still running patrols north of the wall? The army of the dead guys has been marching south for 6 seasons now, you'd think they would have gotten near the wall, unless their direction finding isn't good and they are just wandering around in circles. |

We were talking about essentially who the MVP of Team Jon was to that point so that didn't really have anything to do with it, but regarding what you said I think perhaps you may be placing too much faith in Jon's intelligence and insight. I like Jon, but even now he reminds me a lot of his "father." An "honorable fool." |

Without Melisandre Stannis would have been defeated by Renly and out of the picture back in S2. Without Melisandre Jon would be dead, gone, and never coming back. |

That director is badass Unfortunately, being a TV show is kind of like being a mid-tier college football program. Sure you'd like to find the next break out head coach/director to make your team/show as good as possible. However, if you do odds are they are going to leave you for bigger opportunities. i've heard that it's pretty much the opposite lately--that above-the-line talent is often more interested in doing premium cable shows, because those outlets are willing to take more artistic risks than the stultified, formulaic, PG-13 world of movie studios. can't vouch for the accuracy of this, but one way or the other, a GOT directorial credit is going to look very impressive on a resume. One need only look at 'Game of Thrones' itself for an example. Alan Taylor directed 30% of the episodes in the first two seasons including both season finales. After S2 he left the show and never returned to do 'Thor: The Dark World' and 'Terminator Genisys.' Not really a good comparison. Taylor came to GoT having directed a crap ton of episodes on really big show (Sopranos, The West Wing, Deadwood, Lost, Rome, Mad Men, etc.) as a seasoned and very well known commodity. Sapochnik is a former story board artist with very little past experience who is just now getting in on the HBO train (one Taylor has been on for over 20 years). D&D even mentioned in a recent article that it was a leap of faith using him last year. He has huge things ahead of him, but I would be very surprised if he didn't return next year. |

benjen/coldhands can't get closer...there's enough abominable snowman in him that the wall thinks he's one of them. Quote HistoryQuoted:
Quoted:
Momoa did the Haka for his audition tape. Epic. Also, I thought Bran getting dropped off by Benjen was bizarre. Can Bran warg a horse and trot him their way? lol benjen/coldhands can't get closer...there's enough abominable snowman in him that the wall thinks he's one of them. Yeah, I knew that Benjen couldn't go any further. I just thought it was kinda funny to dump an invalid (and a girl that can't carry him) that way without hooking them up a little better. |
