  1. It is the reverse. with the exception of roglic (if he indeed doesn't have the legs) nobody wants to risk it all in a itt that nobody knows who is stronger. Dunbar and caruso need to gain time against each other. Thomas doesn't want to go to the last stage with only 18 secs. Almeida probably will only attack if he is sure he won't lose much time if things go wrong. Roglic will probably try to be creative on thursday if he is in bad shape and wants to win the giro (the stage on friday is for those who are in really good shape).
  2. worst mountain stage I have seen in years. the cyclists can't start a war to have a 75 km stage and then do nothing.
  3. he is more dispointed now. Remco is out because of covid
  4. after remco the happiest of the other contenders is almeida. TGH has a tough battle ahead of him against thomas for the leader position. If the team choses thomas he will lose lots of time during the giro...
  5. It had a good start, but the story seems to be going downhill. FAST. From this ep and the trailler for the next one all things point to a huge and weird mess. I am amazed that the show is greenlit for a second season.
  6. So you can be happy to know that I have extreme doubts about sansa marrying aegon and danny controling western essos. I may be wrong but don't the people in the book describe it as a short voyage? And sunspear is probably on of the worse places for her to land. Given arianne's possible "friendship" with aegon and their familly ties if danny invades sunspear and takes control over it then her first act on westeros is to start a war with aegon anf the martells. It is more likely that she will land in the north. And there are several good reason for her to do so. First, because she will think that it is still under the control of the boltons and therefore she could gain goodwill if she helps the north get rid of them. Second, because she can bring food to the north during winter and that would gain her automatic support. Third, if she wants to amend her familly's mistakes and prove she isn't aerys or rhaegar then making peace with the north is a great first step. Fourth, it is a good place to set a base of operations because no army will march north of the neck during winter so her people will be safe there. So it is either the north for a eastern port or casterly rock for the simbolism. Most of the other places don't make much sense for 1 reason or another.
  7. lots of people disagree. creepy that anyone would want davos hitting on missandei, how the hell is he suposed to know this? and isn't the gelding process for the unsullied discribed in the books? LOL. I don't even know what to say. I think this shows how disconected they were from grrm until season 8. If they were suposed to use the horn they just had to have the NK take it and have tormund on top of the wall say something like this: "the fucker. He had it all along. RRUUUUUNNN" And then have some ask him what was that horn and have him explain...
  8. The movie format should be obvious to anyone that it is a bad idea. Got episodes lasted an hour. You can't add 30 mins to a normal ep and call it a movie. At most they could do something to the last kingdom where a 2 to 3 hours movie would replace the last ep. Given that the Ds were adapting 1 book per season it is normal for them to plan 7 seasons. That doesn't really mean anything. Even saying that actors were scooped is kind of stupid. Given the filming time and number of eps of each season I doubt that filming GoT took a lot of time for the actors. They could clearly film GoT and another project. And I would risk that several actors had important roles is movies while shooting GoT. And I think that when HBO stops giving independence to the creators it will lose some of its spark. You can't create controversial things if there is a guy from the network breathing down your neck making sure your series follow some kind of guidelines. The problem with the Ds is that they are charlatans. They were able to gain power, trust and influence with the earlier seasons so they had a lot of credibility to do whatever they wanted towards the latter seasons despite not having the talent to write or direct a show as big as Got. I bet there must be a lot of stories how HBO aproved the script for season 8. Any person related to the industry had to know there were a lot of red flags there.
  9. I don't think you are taking into account how bad the reputation of danny's troops is. If I was a riverlander (and given all the chaos the war of the 5 kings brought to the region this is the worst region you could chose) I would volunteer into several wars if it would keep dothriaki, iron born, r'hllor zealots that like to burn people/simbols of the 7 and sellswords (because of all the death sellswords did in the region) as far away from me and my familly as possible. Here you are forgetting the geography. you can only use essos as a food supply if you have a connection to the east coast. And in winter even that will be difficult. Jon has the advantage that braavos and eastwatch are close. So at least it is a feasable situation. Danny would need to control an important port on the east coast and keep her troops around it in order for the essos option to be viable.
  10. in the letter ramsay says he has mance in a cage for all the north to see. He has to have told the people in winterfell something about the man they are seeing in a cage covered in the skins of several women. And if he intends to march to CB he has to have told them why. I am not saying that ramsay told the people there exactly what he wrote, but he must have told them that the dude in a cage was mance, that he kidnaped (?) farya with theon's help under jon's orders (?) and therefore he is going to attack CB to get his bride back? And given that everybody knows mance was burned by stannis (in the PL we are told this is common knowledge) and that theon has betrayed the starks several times and even killed bran and rickon ramsay's whole story sounds crazy. right?
