Cunningham stresses that the Martin/Benioff/Weiss trio are the only gatekeepers of Game of Thrones, and that's how it's going to remain."There’s only three people who knows how it ends. The middle of last year, the two boys, Dan and David, they spent a week with George in his home in Santa Fe, who rolled out the end of the story for them. So they know what’s going to happen."

From an IGN article.....what a steaming pile of dogsh*t. I refuse to believe those two hacks have any idea how it's going to end or that they'll do it any type of justice or honor within the show. I wish the actors and these two clowns would quit with this bs and just admit that they have no clue how its going to end and will simply creat their own alternative unvierse ending. THE END.

How so? It's a show....a show that pretends to be something its not. Which at this poiint is my only beef with it. That and the two hacks that are in charge of it. They may have all the money in the world to create their vision but I don't believe it's truly comparable to George R R Martin's vision (at least starting with Season 3 and onward). And furthermore I think all lthe money has just corrupted GRRM himself to the point where he doesn't give a crap.

Anyways I'm sure this upcoming season will be a hot mess but at this point I'm committed so I will see what crap this duo delivers.

Cementing that they are no longer aimed at kids in any way, shape or form, Archie has a new issue called "Game of Phones," with Game of Thrones-style fantasy sequences. Archie is Robb, Jughead is, well, Jughead (although I guess he's Theon in a pinch...) Veronica is a pseudo-Cersei, Betty is Dany (complete with dragon riding), and Reggie is Joffrey.

That's a good ad, although it made me start thinking, "Now is the time, ABC is the place."

It's nice to see so many characters, even if Theon is yet again MIA. I noticed Ramsay there...

Was that Brienne at the Wall?

Nice to see more of Stannis.

I was all excited for the Dany stuff but I really need Daario to get roasted in episode 1.

Happy to see almost no Tyrion or Arya.

Sansa looks so much like Catelyn now.


I will say it looks like the show decided to

That was really good but considering it is Dany, it probably is all editing tricks. Nothing exciting ever happens with Dany and it is tough to imagine this year will be an exception. She's threaten, she'll make speeches, and then the show will find some excuse for her lack of these mythical boats she has been searching for since 2011.

Speaking of boats, I wonder if Gendry is still rowing away in that little boat of his. We last saw him in 2013 I think.

Well if they were at all following the books then something major will happen with Dany this season. But you're right for all we know (and as many people on other boards are speculating) this could all be yet another silly dream/prophesy of hers or even another character who's path should be heading towards her.

Lol at Gendry. Another wasted potential. I'm literally terrified of what they're gonna do with Dorne and House Martell. I highly doubt it will live up to the high standards of the books.

    • This opened my eyes and appeals to my logic. But, don't you also think that the fact that they are so ill-suited means that, by soap-opera-laws, they aren't a long term item?  I like how Belle is written now, so I appreciate the fact that she is in this story.  But, I don't believe anything will become of it, and I think EJ is going to mess it up very soon.
    • Kristen also raped John post-Paris with a Magic Mirror.  Her pregnancy was "delicate" and they couldn't be intimate.  She had already lost the baby, needed to get pregnant immediately again and set a Stefano tricked out Magic Mirror to hypnotize John and John thought he was  having sex with Marlena.  John woke up the next day and thought it was a dream.
    • The show is only a few months in and still finding it's footing. I'm hoping MVJ has years of story in place for these characters and will pretty much stick to that plan (obviously with tweaking along the way) I do have some issues with the initial structure. Making the Duprees the centerpiece and not having a male with that name. Making Martin Vernon and Anita's would have solved that and made the age of the character more appropriate. I agree about not having a young couple in the beginnings of a romance. And having too many married couples. Jacob and Naomi could be just living together. That makes the possibility of other relationships more viable than within a marriage. Same with Smitty/Martin. Having them married with kids limits the story especially in terms of them as a gay couple.  The white characters existing in another universe is also a problem. That ties in with the workplace/job issues. I don't think they needed the hospital-instead the police station/real estate office or Martin's workplace could have utilized and have Derek/Ashley/Vanessa/Smitty/Shanice etc working and interacting there. ATM too many characters are meeting up in cafes etc-we're not seeing them at work. We needed to see more of how various characters interact eg Jacob/Bill, Ted/Bill. There were a lot of extended family scenes but there should be more one on one to get a sense of character and family dynamics. Leslie is a great character but her bag of tricks is getting over exposed. I would hate that she is kept on and other character's made to look like idiots by accepting her presence. They'll need some good writing and twists to keep her around. We can only hope some of the lesser actors improve as I don't want too many recasts or writeouts. So it's early days and I look forward to seeing the show evolve. And give the Duprees some staff!
    • Thanks. I barely remember any of the backstory there, just his ties to her parents. It was all so convoluted, everything with Tangie.
    • 81 and 82 were rather bad, with the infamous invasion of the Kirkland family. But sometime in late 82 or early 83, Claire Labine was rehired as head-writer and immediately put the focus back on the Ryan's. This time Labine's tenure was short, but she did great work. The entire show was compelling again -- especially the Charlotte Greer storyline (one of the best plots of the entire series).  But Labine was fired, yet again, and Ryan's Bar was bombed, resulting in most of the action being transferred to Greenberg's Deli, and a focus on younger characters with little connection to the Ryan family. So that is what you are probably seeing from 84.   
    • It wasn't that altruistic. He made Tangie a substitute for Blake and was apparently so creepy about it that Tangie spent the years in between getting away from him and running into him in Springfield believing that he had purchased her to be his child bride. It was only when she got to know Blake that she realized that she realized his feelings for her were paternal and suddenly she and Roger became friends.
    • When I watched 1999 Daytime Emmys in real time, I was like "Daytime Emmys will never top this" and that's exactly what happened (at least IMO).
    • Yes in Sami's case lots of people took issue with her being with Dumbell Austin outside of the Carrie issue, cause she drugged him and raped him by pretending to be Carrie. Austin didn't consent & well Ejami fans have used that as a smokescreen against the backlash of Sami & EJ being paired. It's also not so much as being paired with someone period, but paired with his victim & his victim sister. That's a line that should never be crossed by Belle/EJ esp Belle cause Sami isn't the only person in her family that EJ has terrorized. For all points and purposes since she was aged to a teen, Belle has been a daddy's girl so on top of the betrayal when it comes to Sami it's also with John. He ran him down & murdered him after raping her sister. On top of all the other evil [!@#$%^&*] he has done. "Good dick", ONS with a monster one time is one thing we all have lapses of judgements, it's whole different thing to be a whole bird who throws her self respect out the window for a roll in the hay relationship with a monster & act like you have selective amnesia about his many crimes towards your family. While getting on your self righteous hoiler than thou horse about others. No there wouldn't be as much as outrage if he was paired with someone like his equally rapey Black family terrorizing sister, or Ava, Gabi or even Nicole. So it's not as much as about him being paired with someone period, it's more of who he should never be paired with his rape victim, her sister's or anyone in the family of the man he viciously ran down. I don't expect much of anything from EJ but I expect a lot more from Belle. As far as Kristen goes Brady has been called everything but the word of God rightfully so for being with his rapist, his brothers rapist, the psycho who terrorized his parents for decades, family, the woman he claimed to love after she violated her by using a mask of her face

      to pretend to be her so he would sleep with her. Drugging his sister ie,: Sami. If Kristen was paired with someone that wasn't her victim or victims like Alex, Xander, [!@#$%^&*] even Ben no one would really care for the most part. So I hope this gives you a little insight and I hope you know I wasn't trying to be rude.
    • Speaking of Emily, I really wish that Marie Masters could do a Locher Room. I haven’t seen anything about her in years!
    • 1980/81 Dallas was a killer show. 18/23 episodes finished #1 and the remaining five finished 2nd.
