I think they've been extremely inclusive and forward-thinking of late and in their upcoming film slate, but I think acting shocked that Doctor Strange and Iron Fist are still white, or that Marvel is actually using Peter Parker before Miles Morales after years of waiting to get their hands on Spider-Man is just asking to be angry for anger's sake.

I thought it was most likely because of their snafu last season where they leaked 4 episodes with their HBO GO launch.

 

I think by now everyone knows that Jon Snow isn't dead (or at least he isn't going to stay that way).

That trailer reminded me that last year I saw a great film, Force Majeure, that starred Kristofer Hivju (Tormund Giantbane). It took me awhile when watching the film to place where I had previously seen him. When it clicked, it was so strange seeing him in street clothes, and looking pretty hot as a result. Watching the upcoming season and contrasting both images of him is going to be strange, nonetheless. Still, go watch the film everyone.

I've been meaning to sit down and watch Force Majeure for a year - soon.

 

I didn't care for the cover which I know will drive Carl up the wall, but it looks fun for the most part. I'm glad to see Davos still in the thick of it. I hope Margaery doesn't get converted. And I'm always Team Bran.

It's so typical of the current trend of emo covers of classic pop tunes - and another example of why GoT will likely end up as dated as the Hunger Games movies quickly became - but it wasn't that bad until that godawful nasal singing. I guess at least they didn't reuse that heinous "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" cover that was on the episode where Jaime lost a hand. 

 

My thoughts as follows: 

 

- How much was the budget cut if they still have to use a Carol Brady wig for Cersei

 

- At least they showed Theon

 

- At least they showed one scene of Melisandre with her clothes on 

 

- Oh yay, Arya and Tyrion.

I'm started to get really excited about the new season. It looks like the Khal who found Dani is taking her back to the Dosh Khaleen. Pretty sure I saw a glimpse of the horse statue from Vaes Dothrak.   Also looked like Jorah found something of Dani's, so he's probably tracking her.

The voice over that says "He is dead" must be in reference to Stannis. Interesting to see the Red Woman losing faith. Like Skin, I'm assuming that Jon will come back to life. I figured it would be Melisandre who would bring him back, but now I wonder if it happens another way.

    • I 100% agree but I think this is due to how the show is structured. It's a one family show which means there are no people in her age range that could be used as friends or contemporaries of her. The show definitely needs a second main family. I am glad someone finally said this. Especially now that the cast is gelling in their roles, he stands out like a sore thumb. No energy, no chemistry with anybody. He is just there.  I thought that was odd as well! The previous scene would've worked better as a tag for the credits.
    • That's the one and only Carrie Nye (Mrs. Dick Cavett) as Susan Piper, a deadly realtor. I don't want to spoil a lot if you ever want to see those episodes. She returns as another character in 2003. I think Grant has aged well and he always did a good job at being ripped without going too far, but he was never entirely my cup of tea either. I did think John Bolger was hot.
    • Totally agree. KKL looks great! It makes the Widge groveling so bizarre. Brooke needs to leave FC and with $B's/Liam's funding launch a rival fashion house with Hope, Rick, Katie and a secret designer. The best scenario is that Rick has been absent because he's been with very much alive C2, who is revealed on the runway as the secret designer. It'll never happen because B&B is comfortable just focusing on FC and the Forresters Marones v. Logans. But it'd been so much more interesting if the Spencers/Logans united.

    • Haha that scarf thing did go on a bit too long, very odd. And what a young Rick!  I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I just never got the physical appeal of Grant Aleksander, but he's definitely a great actor. Who is the older lady around the 8:30 mark, and also ends the episode, alone and in pain? She seems like a really interesting character. I love the smoky voice and sultry, snaky vibe she seems to have.
    • I can't remember exactly but I think she lives in or is part of the cottage story with Carrie. Carrie poisons her in this episode.  I forgot Teresa was on the show. (I see that AI is insisting she wasn't - well they're wrong) Poor Maeve. I can how even she had her limits. 
    • It pisses me off that the other Duprees are making this incident all about them as well. They are playing a family of victims, acting as if Ted cheated on all of them. They should be supportive, but not like this. I have a family that makes anything that happens to me personally all about them, and seeing the same thing on TV is rage-inducing.
    • There are the makings of good Emmy reels in these past couple of episodes, but the industry is still going to favor even the most mediocre stories and performances on the older soaps. And with the pressure from the government over race I can see the academy shutting out Beyond The Gates to avoid criticism from the administration and the far right media.
    • oh, definitely! It's too bad she hit the start of a rough transition period for the show. She shines, but she's stuck with bad story and some (if not exactly bad) not great co-stars.  Uh, who did Maureen O'Sullivan play? (Sigh--and only if I'd understood exactly who and how wonderful Teresa Wright was in '86) God, the summer of '84 was literally one event after another. Kim's outfit alone must've been worth a small fortune. And poor Maeve. She looks so uncomfortable. Rebecca Hollen told a story on Locher Room where Maeve dropped the f-bomb during the shooting of it. For some reason, she wasn't being listened to, and had just had enough. As a producer, I would've been holding my breath as my pregnant actress kept walking around strange and undoubtably uneven sets in that long skirt.
