Literally every time I turn on my TV when I scroll past whatever OVAHD is I see a movie I would watch the **** out of. Then I curse because I don't have it. Finally looked it up: what in the hell is the Ovation Network?

Upcoming movies:

The Negotiator, Teen Wolf, Original Sin, Lethal Weapon 2, Lethal Weapon 4, The Thomas Crown Affair, In the Line of Fire, Antwone Fisher, Outbreak, The Karate Kid, The Crush, Dave, Fools Rush In, and a Time to Kill.

No Oscar winners, but their entire model seems to be movies you will 100% watch if nothing is on, which is basically all the time.

On GOT:

Spoiler:
As reported, the show is moving faster to wrap up some of the side stories. The Tyrell and Dorne stories are finished. The Unsullied are facing annihilation. Jon has met his aunt. Bran is back in Winterfell. Things are progressing quickly. Almost too quickly in some ways (I was hoping Olenna would stay around longer. That is a cold bitch and I loved her in every scene she was in).

But overall, that's good. The sooner we can get some White Walker action, the better. My guess is that the rest of this season wraps up the Kings Landing timeline, and next season is all White Walkers all the time.

GoT:

Spoiler:
I really didn't think Cersei stood a chance before the season started, but now she is pretty well poised to maintain her power. Everything else has been predictable, and in retrospect this should have been predictable too, as it forces Daeny to side with Jon.

Glad Jorah is back. Thought for sure Sam was gonna gift him the Tarly family sword, but I wonder what info he'll uncover copying all of those scripts.

EDIT: Also thought that was gonna be Arya at the gates of Winterfell. Silly me, she's gonna show up in the black of night and stick Needle in Littlefinger's throat.

True. And how he's sailed from the Iron Islands to King's Landing, to attacking Yara's fleet at night, back to King's Landing and now to Casterly Rock is beyond comprehension.

Spoiler:
This weeks one wasn't that bad because Jon and Davos went from Winterfell to Dragonstone as well. So you'd assume it was days/weeks between episodes.

Really strong episode this week. Hell of a way for Lady Tyrell to go out. They're building Cersie all the way up only for Jaime to bring her down eventually I reckon.


Also

Spoiler:
I know he's important but can Bran just **** off? I was so annoyed that it was him and not Arya arriving home. He was a creep to his sister who had not seen him in years. How about not remind her of her rape you DH.

Spoiler:
Just curious why you think Jamie would bring her down? I guess I'm not following what you're getting at? I suppose you're thinking he gets a conscience and turns on her. Maybe, since they've spent other times making him not be a bad guy, but still can't think he'll turn on her.

Spoiler:
Jamie's entire path through the show has been to become more moral and a path of redemption. His admittance to Brienne about why he got his Kingslayer name to him saving thousands of lives at Riverrun. I truly think he'll realize what Cersi is... Was there ever an explanation for the sept exploding?

Spoiler:
It's not just that he's managed to be so many different places, but that he's known where to attack. How did he know that Yara, Theon, and the Dornish delegation were headed to Dorne? How did he and Jamie know that the Unsullied were going to attack Casterly Rock?

It is possible that he could have split his armies (he does have a thousand ships). It is also possible that his fleet did not follow him to King's Landing and he wasn't within them when they were at Casterly Rock burning down the ships of the Unsullied. But knowing where to look means either that he's got some magical powers or the Dany camp has a snitch.

I think it's possible that this happens, as they've hinted at it. But he's obviously madly in love with his sister; it's one thing to kill a King you're loyal to only by allegiance, and it's another to kill a Queen you're ****.

Between the likely possibility that Jon Snow and his aunt Dany are going to get buckwild and the Jamie/Cersei coupling, this story has an odd fascination with incest.

Spoiler:
Did you watch last season? This was revealed in the flashbacks that Bran went on with the Three-Eyed Raven. They showed the Tower of Joy scene which revealed that Jon Snow was the son of Lyanna Stark and Rhaegar Targaryen.

Ned Stark only pretended it was his child because if Robert Baratheon knew there was a living heir to the throne (which Jon would have been as the son of Rhaegar), he would have had him murdered.

Spoiler:
I think it was just explained above. But I'm not sure how you missed it, it's been widely speculated since the beginning and revealed last year during one of Bran's visions. I would brag that I've never read the books but I pegged it from one of the first episodes that Jon would be a big deal and not Ned's kid and giving him a claim to the throne, though I have to admit that I was thinking he was King Robert''s kid and therefore would be the heir once the twincest was figured out.

For the Jaimie turning on his sister talk. I get that he's had his character due some good things and showing a conscience has been hinted towards the whole time. But each time he goes right back to siding with his sister. And keep in mind the whole show started with him throwing a small child out a window. Of course he might turn and side with Tyrion if he now thinks for sure Tyrion had nothing to do with Joffrey's death. But it could work the other way too, now that he knows who was behind Joffrey's death it might make him and Cersei even more vengeful/angry and like it's them against everyone else, thus bringing them together more.
