I like how they are trying to coax fans into choosing a side, but by the end you'll see they are both loving awful. Which is the point.. Anybody know who that Bracken is at 1:07 of the Green Trailer? I hope we see lots more Bracken vs Blackwood stuff in this season. deoju fucked around with this message at 19:01 on Mar 21, 2024 |

Dunk and Egg cast. https://variety.com/2024/tv/news/ga...ell-1235961895/ The kid looks the part, and Dunk is a former rugby player, so I presume he's got the physique. Though you can fake a lot with the camera.

I wonder how many seasons they plan to make. Child actors aging out of their role is a real problem. Bran looked nothing like Bran at the end.

This rugby website lists him at 1.96m/119kg and 262lbs/6'5". I'd say he qualifies as a "big dude," but not an "absolute unit." deoju fucked around with this message at 22:34 on Apr 5, 2024 |

Vegetable posted:They killed the Jon Snow spinoff — “couldn’t find the right story to tell.” no poo poo,. like the ending sucked and kinda killed my interest in the show. i dont even hate where most of the characters ended up but gently caress did they gently caress up the road to get there. also whats his face sucks as an actor and there isnt enough there to do anything with.

I can't actually think of anything that would be that interesting that would be set after the main series. Especially based around Jon Snow being north of the wall in a completely depopulated area. Seems like Bran would have a pretty good handle on political stuff since he can just view the past and spy on people with raven, and killing off Dany and the Night King and then bringing them back would just diminish the ending to the main series which was already diminished by its execution.

A Jon Snow show would be dependent on there being some great mystery or drama to explore North of the Wall with the White Walkers, and it just really sounds like there isn't one. The creative well is dry and even Kit Harrington could recognize it.

Here's my pitch. Jon becomes the king of the Free Folk. Then he realizes they are on a collision course with Sansa's northern kingdom. He then tries to derail the path he has put them on like Muad Dib in the Dune series. Ultimately he and Drogon should kill each other in an epic duel ending the Dragons and Targaryens forever. But that's really just one season of content. Edit: A dude named Steven Atwell just died. He was super influential in fan communities. Probably in the top five scholars. Bummer. deoju fucked around with this message at 04:56 on Apr 11, 2024 |

Jon Snow should be included in future GoT media, for sure. Just, in a future setting where he's remembered as something. He's an insanely influential character given scope of the world he's in. He should be looked at as a legendary figure forever, right? Here's what you do. A cop procedural set in the equivalent of our 1990ish but just with GoT world history. CBS can buy it. First episode you can run into a guy stabbing his aunt-wife with a sword and they have to investigate it. I'm thinking NYPD Blue-style. That, or just like... make up your own drat universe, hacks. If you have something you really need to add to someone else's world, fine, cool, do it! It may be great. If you decide to do something before wanting to do something, that's a good way to get poo poo "art".

Have Kristen Bell as the wine mom and make it a dark comedy, and I'm on board

If we're throwing pitches out there: the end of the white walkers results in a thawing of the north. Which leads to a land grab plotline where everyone wants to get their hands on the lovely fertile soil. This leads to tension between expansionist Southerners (or Bravossi if you want to move away from having to deal with too many characters from the original show) and a diasporised Free Folk, coupled with John needing to consolidate power in the north. You can throw in some spooky plots involving isolated northern communities with access to ancient magics, or fire cultists who are running around wielding the bones of Melisandre's corpse like they're pieces of Christ or some poo poo, but as a hook for later seasons I'd slowly start to introduce a new powerful faction from the far north west. Anchor this in a story about Snow trying to build a city north of the wall, starting from a small settlement, expanding it to several towns with trade, and minor conflict between them. Essentially tell a story about the battle for the soul / survival of a community, possibly told over several generations.

Sansa would need to marry and have an heir to consolidate her hold on the North. And the climate changing brings in a ton of immigrants. Or maybe that's too close to contemporary affairs. gently caress it get hbo on the phone. I don't need to be show runner, but I want a executive producer credit.

I’m just glad Paddy Considine’s secret generational knowledge of how to kill the white walkers that comes in prophetic dreams and wasn’t communicated to any of his kids ended up not being a hook for the Jon Snow series. I don’t know what it was, other than another thing to make him sad and pathetic, but I’m glad it wasn’t that.

I don’t know what it was, other than another thing to make him sad and pathetic, but I’m glad it wasn’t that. I read that plot beat as, essentially, another angle on the central irony of the parent series. i.e. that these characters spend so much time playing musical murder chairs with the Iron Throne that they end up shortsightedly dooming the kingdom. Except uhh the parent series ends up minimizing that crisis anyway, but I'm not sure I hold that against this show specifically.

One of the interesting things about ASOIAF was that it was a mostly generic low-fantasy medieval world that experienced a last gasp of magic and myth. The death of that marked the end of the story. A sequel would have to either cheapen that aspect of the first series or tell a more generic low-fantasy story, which is not really the reason people like the series. Prequels seem to be more popular with these big series anyway because it's easy to write an origin story and everyone's scared to write a new ending, but it made a lot of sense to do HOTD because that was when the cool stuff sort of necessarily happened.
