HBO is in a bind and Gots fans are complaining.

They've put too many shows in the prime Sunday Night slot, as such GoTs can't run longer than one hour. GoTs is followed by Barry, Veep and Last Week Tonight. It should be GoT's and LWT to carry Sunday Night, the other shows moved to Thursday. John Oliver is perfect after a heavy drama.

Not going to spoil the season opener right now, to give time for people without crave to download and watch.

I don't use VPN, so I stopped downloading torrents these days. Can somebody please PM a streaming link that works? Thanks in advance!

Is it really dangerous or is it just the acceptable risk?

I still torrent and only get the occasional warning email.

I feel they are setting up deaths for Dany and Jon.

Know your history people.

Game of Thrones is based on the War of the Roses. (Except for the zombie thing.)

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wars_of_the_Roses


The War of the Roses was resolved when Henry 7 of the upstart House of Tudor (which was not part of the House of Lancaster, but did fight with it) killed Richard 3 of the House of York and married Elizabeth of York.

So you had a war between 2 great houses that was resolved by marriage between the 2 houses. Initially Elizabeth of York despised Henry 7, but ironically she grew to love him very much and he the same.

So if you extrapolate that to Game of Thrones you have 2 great houses Starks and Targarians. There will be a marriage all right but it won't be between Jon and Danny. That is for sure.

Originally I figured Jaime would marry Sansa uniting the Starks and Lannisters. (The Lannisters being the Tudors and the Starks being the Yorks.)


Now I'm wondering if Jon ends up marrying Sansa. (Jon being a Targarian, or Lancaster and Sansa being Elizabeth of York.)

The battle with the zombies is coming soon. Probably Episode 3 or 4. Because the battle with the zombies is just a battle. It will not resolve the political situation. That will take a marriage to unite the 2 houses.

She was already a beautiful angel in Season 1 right from the start.
Sophie Turner is gorgeous but she's no angel, she has a wicked sense of humour. The set of Dark Phoenix must have been side splitting, Jessie likes to schtick as well.

Considering how dire the consequences are if they choose to go after you, and you having a documented history of not only torrenting, but also failing to heed warnings about your torrenting, that's pretty much a slam dunk for prosecutors. Ignoring the morality of the issue, I still wouldn't consider that an acceptable legal risk.

So you think the final conflict will not be the Night King and his army? I find that hard to believe. I'm thinking either the political situation will be resolved first, or they'll both be resolved in parallel. Or the political situation will not be fully resolved.

I love her, no other actress of her generation put in the kind of work she did in Short Term 12 and Room. The attacks against her by Incels was disgusting.

Fangula Incel prodotti di stupro!

The Incels relentless attack on Captain Marvel had no effect. They are now attacking X-Men:Dark Phoenix which will add a charge to it's box-office.
Really? Hadn't heard anything about Dark Phoenix facing backlash, but I haven't really been following it. Captain Marvel faced backlash because Brie Larson made a careless, somewhat race-baity comment, and the naysayers blew it out of proportion. Did Sophie Turner do something similar?

Name me an actor who doesn't make dumbass comments, Brie's not perfect. I could quote evidence about the attacks from Incels. I won't, no need to justify their frustrated poison.

I've been catching up on The Good Fight and I'm more convinced than ever that Rose Leslie should have been the Khaleesi. TGF is a character driven show and Leslie has dealt with everything thrown her way. She reached Dustin Hoffman level of pathos at the end of E5. On the flipside, I remained loyal to Arnold by watching Terminator Genesys at the theater. There were guffaws when Emilia Clarke said "come with me if you want to live".

In other news, the Taylor siblings are no longer involved with the show. Vanessa Taylor was the shows original showrunner and chief writer. She penned the hook up of Jon Snow with Ygritte. She left after S4 to pursue other projects. She got a Best Picture Oscar for The Shape of Water. Alan Taylor has directed 6 episodes, he returned to helm the finale of S7. He was picked by David Chase to direct The Sopranos origin story: The Many Saints of Newark which is now in the filming stage.

As an update to my previous post, Rose Leslie was committed to Downton Abbey at the time of the casting.

Still they could have picked a better actress than the Mother of Boredom...although I believe she smoked some verdura prior to this.

Yes I'll admit that I watched Spring Breakers - silliest movie I've ever seen.

I quiet thought keeps popping into my head.......

Is Cersai capable of blowing up the Capital or at least the castle as she did the church?

Could that be the final desperate act that destroys the Iron Throne?

The ISP itself says they cannot review the information on its clients without a legal court order.

Also, AFAIK, nobody has been charged in Canada over torrents. I believe it's fear mongering and bullying.

I don't think so. She wants power and the throne. The capital represents that. Unless it is overrun with wights, I don't see it.
