[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.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Burn the ships. Attack by night.

Make it impossible to justify the cost of the fight - wait, wrong fandom.

I just can't take Jon as a threat to Dany's rule seriously. It seems like such a non-problem.

It's not so much that he's a threat as the fact that there are no women writing this show is a threat.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Ah. Nail on the head, there, Jess.

Jaime is just, what the hell, Jaime? Maybe he wants to get back into the Kingslayer racket?

I can kind of see Brienne staying in Winterfell to keep Sansa safe, she will certainly be head of her Queensguard when Westeros realizes Sansa is the practical choice.

Herding cats for fun

Jon and Ghost never have one scene together? Yuck.

She isn't going to break her oath to Catelyn.

Jamie heading back to Kings Landing seems like a pretty standard "getting the pieces back to starting positions for the final face-off" television move, no? I don't see a lot of character motivation for it beyond that.

How Game of Thrones' onscreen Starbucks cup became a viral metaphor for season 8

Just really sloppy filmmaking.

Oh, that's what that's all about. Sigh.

That's a bonus of deciding to watch on my phone, I suppose - don't notice stuff like that.

A whole lot of people didn't notice, who probably should have.

But I assume the DP will put out a press release shortly stating that if you saw a Starbucks cup in front of Daenerys last night, it's because your TV settings were wrong.

I'm reading Reddit threads on the Bloodraven theory which posits that Bran himself as the 3ER is the main threat

At this point, I think you can dismiss any fan theory that requires D&D to be subtle and clever.

What is even happening?

Ding ding ding.

I felt like I was watching Lost, and there was some reason go across the island again.

Jaime is just, what the hell, Jaime? Maybe he wants to get back into the Kingslayer racket?

I had half-hoped he was going back to be the kingslayer (queen), but he knows she's carrying his child, so I don't know.
