Inara ,'Objects In Space'
[NAFDA] A thread for the discussion of all original programming on HBO, Showtime, Starz and other premium channels.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
Right. This is universe where she might legitimately not be full of shit in thinking that.
So, Bran has magical past- and future-seeing abilities? That means that knowledge that seems to have died with the knowers may not be totally out of reach. Yay!
Bran jerking into a sitting position jerked me out of the scene for a second. I know diddly about spinal injuries, but I do remember able people oohing and ahhing about Dean Winchester sitting straight up without hands--I'm assuming it depends on what T Bran's injury is supposed to be, right?
Hmm, I'll have to watch that scene again, ita!
Although, to a large extent, the show and book ignore realities of paraplegia. For example, lack of bowel/bladder control is not an issue that is addressed.
In his GoT column this week (pimp!), DH attributed Bran and Arya's 24-hour growth spurts to:
...we don't know, dragons or winter or something.
So I assume Bran's spinal injury works the same way.
I love love LOVE this version of Margery Tyrell. In the book she's not a POV character so we only see her via Cercei, Tyrion, or Sansa (did I miss anyone?), all of whom have extremely limited and biased viewpoints. Getting to see her and the other Tyrell women firsthand is just fantastic.
And as much as I'm Team Stark all the way, a part of me wonders if Arya had been born a Tyrell, or a Mormont, or an Of Tarth (can't remember Brienne's house), if she would have been happier in the long run. (Greyjoys also let their women fight, but I wouldn't wish being born a Greyjoy on anyone. Well, maybe Joffrey.)
Well, maybe Joffrey.
Sure. Maybe the drowned god thing could actually take, for once.
From your lips to the Drowned God's ears...
It was so disgusting to watch how easily Margery manipulated Joffrey, too. He thinks he's so smart, and so powerful. That's not a woman you want to arm, buddy, and I haven't read past the first book.
I'm also sort of imagining someone cutting all the scenes with Jamie and Brienne into a buddy movie trailer.

Doooo eeeeeet!
But maybe wait at least until after next week.
(I don't know how to do that. But I would love it.)
Cat's story about Jon Snow also killed me. It was so very human.
Maybe I'll give it a shot once that storyline is over. (And I figure out how to download from HBOGO.)
