I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

They’ve literally set the table to come back to all of it in a few years. After an arya spin off series

The person pushing hardest for this will be Kit Harrington, when he's hard-up and destitute and can't land any other good roles.

He'll be the latest victim to the "career defining" character that no one can get past, much like his predecessors Mark Hammill, Elijah Wood, Daniel Radcliffe, Mark Paul Gosselaar, and Jaleel White.

Wow this is happening right away. I was thinking it’d be at least a couple years.

Final season, for sure.

I agree the 7th season compromises weren't nearly as egregious as S8; it was mostly just weird travel/time jump stuff. But the lack of Greywolf, and the continued hackneyed delivery of Euron still sucked.

Why is grey worm dictating to the lords of Westeros about Jon? And how they should proceed with a king(or not?) makes absolutely no sense.
Especially as Sansa explains to him clearly they’ve a far bigger army outside and hell unleashed if jon is harmed.
Then the worm manages to get jon sent to the wall? And they all agree? Even though he has a rightful claim and gendry has an even better claim and they’re both not exactly busy

Uuuggghhh

No, he was awful. His writing and performance were both poor. Should have had Victarion from the book instead.

I totally misread your previous post. I thought you said "on this we disagree."

And I was shocked. I was thinking you might be the first person to ever express that opinion.

I'm sure I have a lot of shitty opinions, but that is not one of them.
