You know what's also good? Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

Indeed! D&D's Sandor Clegane is clearly inspired by the Black Knight Unlike the Black Knight he lucked out by having Drogon ex-machina blast the Red Keep!

The part with Harry Strickland looking kinda confused as the dragon roar could be heard reminded of 2 scenes from the Holy Grail: when the French guy is on top of the wall, listening to the knights building the giant wooden rabbit, and the scene with the guards that look at the approaching Lancelot, and they keep looking all the way until he's right on top of them.

Speaking of, myself and some others noticed that the new KL set looks like it's from Monty Python. Peter's faces....

BTW, Netflix now carries Monty Python. Woohoo!

 

 

Hahahaha, thanks, I needed that.

Just finished watching this, lots of interesting points about the differences in the books:

It feels like this show has been over for 2 months, not just under 2 weeks.  

It turns out, it was junk food after all, the poor ending robbed the show of any substance it may have once had, and this massive cultural moment ended not with a bang but a whimper.

Yes. I'm torn between the feeling of being ripped off and the guilt of having invested so much time in a work that wasn't ultimately worth it.

And I'm not ready to digest the fact that the author sold all the rights to his major work to a duo of mediocre Hollywood writers.

More like a wet fart, actually.

I thought I'd drop this off, from our new favorite extra from GOT.  Granted, he wants everyone to love the show, but I'll forgive him that, as........I do adore him.  He made The Last Watch really interesting.  It seems him and some of his extra buddies will be hitting the Con circuits, and like the regular cast, holding in secrets til after the finale with non disclosure agreements?

This is a new season/show/finale review I found after watching the Andy McClay video.  It's very succinct, but accurate, minus the mangled Princess Bride reference, that is.  Plus, a bit of help from Stephen King, though not in person, LOL

 

 

(There's something really OFF about that freezeframed photo above, YIKES!!)

The cast will really be making presences at cons? Like they are really going to try and sell the idea that season 8 was good? That people liked it?

And D&D will be doing what? Working on star wars?

Well if David starts explaining S8, I hope Dan will have the decency to tell him “Uncle Edmure, please!”

Them saying "fuck" or "fucking" every 3 words should be the real stars of the cons. The PC police will love them.

I have no idea what they are suposed to do… How do people involved in series that people hated act in cons?

Can kit, emillia and some of the main cast even participate given how awfull their characters behaved this season? Won t they end up having to answer questions they don t have answers for?

I find it astounding that this season, David Benioff is making the guy who yelled, with pride, that his writing process revolved around the theme 'dammit, I want my zombie polar bear', look intelligent.

He's really been hogging all the stupid this season.

moral lessons;

the south kills you 

the north kills you 

love kills you 

duty kills you 

honor kills you 

the roof kills you 

your relatives kill you

your friends kill you

greed kills you 

poverty kills you 

the bad guys kill you

the good guys kill you 

so go and live in a cave with the wildlings and have a king for a tree so you can survive your lasting days after everyone you loved is dead from the things above. Or assign yourself to the  faceless God next door... 

Practical... and most of all realistic.
