I have to say that the addition of time travel fuckery to this already convoluted story packed with loose ends and unexplained mysteries gave a bad LOST feeling

My show-only coworker compared it to LOST (as a detriment) last night.

Well, one direct interpretation of what was said is that Bran will become him. In fact, the line was "The time has come for you to become me." Such an amazing intellect you have!

My take: The last greenseer, being a greenseer is not just like a D&D profession it's about being absorbed into the WeirNet and serving some as-of-yet unknown function, possibly keeping the old magical wards working (the wall, storm's end), maybe even keeping the Old Gods alive and preventing the others from ushering the second long night.

I mean, we've already seen that the winters are related to the weirwoods and that specifically the others control at least one ancient and powerful weirwood grove from which they seemingly draw some magical power.

Jews fleeing the Holocaust are not in any way comparable to North Africans, who don't flee genocide but want to enjoy the social welfare systems of Northern Europe.

There's an article in the telegraph about dubs. They aren't complete fools and could change what hodor's instructions were. In Turkish it was "stay here".

Hodor has always said Hodor, so I imagine for the scene they just keep it in English and he says hold the door while the subtitles convey the phrase is a contraction.

Like I wouldn't be confused if someone told me, say, Gojira was a contraction of gorira (gorilla) and kujira (whale).

In French it was "Don't let them outside". Only "outside" (au dehors) evolves into Hodor.

It got me thinking about the wolves in the show/books as well and how they all have different names. For example, Shaggy Dog is a name of one wolves, and it's named that because a wolf is kind of like a dog.

If you think that, along the way, you're not going to fail... you're blind.

There's no one I've ever met, no matter how successful they are, who hasn't said they had their failures along the way.

Sorta, yeah. Like, he's gigantic and I think was actually kinda furry in the original film. It's poetic, and Japanese commentary has only grown more poignant and meaningful as seen in the classic tale "My Little Sister Can't Be This Cute"

Search Results
Gojira (ゴジラ ?) is a portmanteau of the Japanese words: gorira (ゴリラ?, "gorilla"), and kujira (鯨(クジラ)?, "whale"), which is fitting because in one planning stage, Godzilla was described as "a cross between a gorilla and a whale", alluding to his size, power and aquatic origin.

Wow I thought you guys were lying, but you're right.

The only true Catwoman is Julie Newmar, Lee Meriwether, or Eartha Kitt.

It's an amazingly long burn reveal and I love Grum for being able to do that. Except that in this case he didn't, and the half-assedness of the show got to spurt it out first like so much Dany squats.

Someone asked Preston Jacobs how the White Walkers' origin works if it's all science fiction.

"Obsidian isn't really that special a material, it's just a rock; silicon. You know what else is made from silicon? That's right, computer chips."

I think the show broke him.

150 pages into The Game of Thrones Part 2 of 7: King Clash, and there hasn't been a single Dannarrys chapter. We're doing pretty good.

But, after I complained about how it wan't winter yet by the end of the first book, I feel like it's a targeted slap in my face to have a bunch of characters talking about how "The weathermen say it's autumn, but it still doesn't feel like autumn, y'know?"

weather is magic in these books they kind of bash that into your skull if you pay attention, for instance brans entire life up to the start of the books has been within summer, and hes 7 or 8

Yeah, I know. My point is, page 1: "it's going to be winter soon" page 950: "They say it's fall, but it still feels like summer to me". Get the lead out, for crying out loud
