HBO: Game of Thrones
Whoa, we really couldn't see it more differently, since I love Theon and have enjoyed his long, complicated journey. I suppose whether his story should exist at all is another matter, but since they did it, I'm happy they didn't drop it without a satisfying resolution. That still hasn't happened, but it's clear they are committed to it in the future. After all he's been through, he needs this. It's true, Yara being alive is a long shot (that guy even said so), although Euron could have kept her alive because he gets sadistic pleasure out of it and/or, in the show's words, for a "bit of rape". At the very least, whatever they do with this story will provide some variety from constant war/white walkers storyline next season. I think that's still important. And I wouldn't be surprised, if he saves Yara, that he unites the Ironborn under him and they join the fight too, only on the other side. So his story would merge with the main climax anyway. As for the six episodes -- I expect supersized episodes anyway. I imagine (hope) the running time with rival almost as if it were 10 episodes

HBO: Game of Thrones
Watching all these characters come together, some of them with serious ties to each other, some never sharing scenes before, was wonderful. Pure soap opera. The Tyrion/Cersei scene was a standout, like something out of Season 2. It felt false that Cersei didn't kill Tyrion and agreed to send soldiers to fight the White Walkers, so I was hugely relieved (and cursed her out) when she told Jaime it was all a ploy. Jaime's "I don't believe you" and walking out on her was another highlight. Theon's scene with Jon and finally standing up for himself was hugely rewarding. To think this story has been going on since Season 2... I am glad they didn't give it up. I am glad he's going after Yara to save her. Great work by Allen. I guess being without genitals came in handy! Another payoff: Sansa and Arya confronting Littlefinger and his execution. AG did marvelous work in those final moments too. That Ned Stark callback nearly brought me to tears. The dragon tearing down the wall -- stunning. A great way to end the season. Kudos, again, for the SFX!

The Taylor Swift Thread
She just created another video that will take her beyond a billion views, I think. My favorite part was all the old Taylors. The snake serving tea (and I hate snakes). Here lies Taylor's reputation. The "shut up!" It's brilliant marketing taking all the stuff people say about her and using it to make coins. Clearly, it bothers her, but she'll make dozens of millions from it, so that should help. She's got EVERYONE in the world talking about her with this song and video. I do hope we don't see yet another 'experimental' album later this year though. ETA: I watched the video, refreshed, and the view count went up by half a million. Insane.

Loving/The City Discussion Thread
I was watching Bryan Cranston's episode on TALKING with Chris Hardwick yesterday. He mentioned being on Loving for a couple of years, and during the trivia segment he said that the cast started calling the show "Leaving" since so many people were fired at the end of their 13 week contract. "Leaving"

Taylor Swift & UPS are... partnering. I hope all this intense promotion isn't because the label can tell the album would flop otherwise!

She'll release reputation magazines, two volumes, as Target exclusives, which will include handwritten lyrics, photos, posters, etc. as well as the album of course. I don't know if there's any difference between the two volumes but I'm going for the orange one lol

It's kinda catchy. I think it's more designed to create buzz due to darkness/the lyrics.

It's out! Dark. You can tell that even from the title. It's pop, a little rock, a little hip hop. I need to relisten and relisten. It's not TOO radio friendly.

The Taylor Swift Thread
Well, sources have described it as 'pop-y' which would suggest there's elements of... something else in there. So you might be partially lucky LOL Of course, I doubt she'd go too far away from 1989's pop. That's crazy! Interesting note about possibly making the announcement a little earlier than expected because of that leak. It struck me as weird that she'd have the 3rd part of the teaser and then immediately after blurt it all out. I wish people would settle on what tomorrow night means? LOL Thursday 12:01AM or Friday 12:01AM?

It's happening! The song is being released 'tomorrow night' And this looks to be the album cover. "Reputation" is a great title, considering what's been going on with her public image the past couple of years. And it's out November 10!

What does it mean??? This is really great marketing. I somehow doubt she'd release the entire thing at once. She's very popular and all, but I think promoting it well and allowing the single to succeed first has worked nicely for her. The strongest rumor so far is that it's called "Timeless."
