    This show always impresses me with its visuals, but tonight featured some particularly beautiful photography. The scene between Littlefinger and the crying whore, the horseback ride with Theon and his sister, and the priestess's seduction were all really stunning.

    They are certainly deviating from the book a lot this season. The biggest change is the handling of Stannis. Not sure if I like it so far.
    Sure why not?

    STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI (Rian Johnson) - 9
    STRONGER (David Gordon Green) - 6
    THE DISASTER ARTIST (James Franco) - 7
    THE FLORIDA PROJECT (Sean Baker) - 9
    LADY BIRD (Greta Gerwig) - 8

    If you don't have the book that lets you know the family trees this site:

    http://gameofthrones.wikia.com/wiki/...f_Thrones_Wiki

    Has helped me out a lot. It's specifically for the show so it does contain spoilers for the show but it doesn't contain spoilers for the books so that's nice. Most characters near the bottom have family trees.

    Thanks to a good friend of mine (the same one who got hooked on the show along with me a while back) I was able to view the first two episodes of the new season on Sunday.

    Really I dug the second episode way more than the first. The first seemed a bit too much like "Well here are some new characters, plus we'll just spend a bit of time letting you know what's going on here" without really progressing the story all that much. Now the second episode was more entertaining, and faster paced which I preferred more.

    I heard the plan for the rest of the series will be to mix and match scenes from all the books so far, instead of one book : one season.

    I was actually just reading about Matt Damon and he’s like, ‘There’s a culture of outrage.’ I’m like, ‘Well, they have a reason to be outraged.’ I think it’s a lot of dudes just being scared. They’re like, ‘What if I did something and I didn’t realize it?’ I’m like, ‘Deal with it.’

    Really glad to hear we will get a third season. With so many epic and shocking moments, that season has the potential to be absolutely fantastic.

    Oh cool. I didn't know that the 9th episode titled "Blackwater" is being written by Martin and being directed by Neil Marshall.

    Should be epic.

    Holy jeebus to the shadow birthing scene. I was wondering how they would handle that. Looks like they fully committed to it.

    Yeah, horse and all. You've definitely can't say they've held back.

    That last scene ... WTF?

    I'm starting to suspect, despite other merits, that Martin really is an ass.

    Reminds me of the SNL skit two weeks ago where Martin consulted with a 13-year old boy about when nudity and sex was needed on the show.

    Pretty funny. And worked well as a good-natured criticism too.

    Do the synopses on imdb.com have public editing access? Because I was reading the synopsis of the latest episode and came across this at the end...

    Quote Quoting imdb.com
    Melisandre takes off her robe and shows her fully pregnant belly. The light flickers and she sits down on her robe and bears down. A black smoke starts pouring out from between her legs. A black, spiny, creepy, skeletal something issues forth and rises to stand before them, full man-sized.

    The Shadow Man has a huge, 13 inch cock. He makes his way to Renly's tent, where a gay orgy is taking place. Renly is busy blowing his brother-in-law when the Shadow Man takes him from behind, with no lube. The aspiring king cries out, half in pain, half in pleasure. The huge shadow cock expands in girth, it's diameter now much greater than even the biggest chode. Renly's asshole starts to split and tear, blood leaking everywhere.

    Renly is flipped over by the tenacious Shadow, and the huge black cock is thrust down his mouth. As the Shadow Man reaches climax, Renly's eyes open wide and he lets out a muffled scream as the giant Shadow penis shoots poison jizum down his throat. The Shadow Man dissipates, his mission being over and his balls emptied. Renly Baratheon is dead, drowned in demon Shadow cum.

    Yeah, partially.

    I was in a sour mood when I posted that, having watched two episodes back to back, and a few other things ---

    I guess I'm just choking on some of the more gender specific gender tropes (eg evil females wielding magic, etc).

    I was starting to wonder if Melisandre was a phony and simply blowing smoke out her arse.

    Yeah, he's a bit like Heinlein in that regard.

    A friend of mine ranted about how much he prefers Game of Thrones to Lord of the Rings the other day because it's more 'adult'. And whatever he can have his preference but I take some issue with the reasoning behind it. It's certainly much more gritty and raw about life in it's world but laying on thick doses of sex and violence does not make it more adult to me.

    I've read the first three of Martin's books and I have yet to see him come anywhere close to a phrase such as... "It is not our part to master all the tides of the world, but to do what is in us for the succour of those years wherein we are set, uprooting the evil in the fields that we know, so that those who live after may have clean earth to till. What weather they shall have is not ours to rule."
