How on earth is Sapochnik not directing at least seven episodes next season? Also, why do people want Arya to kill Cersei outside of the character says she wants to? Of all the people on the show Cersei has tortured Arya is probably near the bottom of the list. I just don't get what fans would get out of that.
I don't want Arya to kill Cersei. I want Cersei to come out on top in the end. The arya notion is just all of the foreshadowing they've given us for four years now with her character and the list.
This show is about awful people being in power and ensuring that the 'good guys' don't always come out on top. They have constantly left people upset with untimely deaths and plots that go nowhere. The biggest middle finger would be if Dany failed to claim the throne and Cersei just smirked away in the final cut. Long live Cersei of the House Lannister, the First of Her Name, Queen of the Andals and the First Men, Protector of the Seven Kingdoms!
I don't think Game of Thrones is about giving the audience the middle finger. I think that's a shallow reading of what a lot of the shocking moments of the series were attempting to do, and has actually been a weakness in the books lately. I think the show has largely had an underlying idea that there are a lot of things that matter more than who "comes out on top", that the pursuit of power is possibly meaningless because there is always something more powerful, cycles always repeat, everyone is always pursuing power. That's why Dany's "I'm going to break the wheel" is so important. The ending of the show will be about something a lot bigger than the iron throne.
LOL, there is so much yearning for the villains to just wreck shit and be victorious at the end of the story. But its clear that this is a show about justice, and I'm pretty sure while there will still be many shocking deaths to come, the show seems to be moving towards a the idea of a newer generation toppling the injustice of the old ways and I think the overall takeaway will be that justice is complex, messy, often absent, but necessary.
Apparently she said Jon's birth name, which allegedly ends in "s" like most Targaryen names.

Also, I may be late to the game, but do we have confirmation that Aegon won't be in the last two seasons?
The only actually understandable words are something along the lines of "Robert would kill him you know he would. You have to protect him. Promise me."
No Miguel Sapochnik is disappointing. But hopefully this means he's slated to work on some great features upcoming. Mylod has directed a lot of the worst, characterless, non-nonsensical scenes the show has had.
Is Varys still confirmed to be a boy-lover, or was that all part of his act? I remember at the beginning of the show that was his reputation but seems like Varys in season 1 and 2 was mostly a persona and we didn't see how many other other sides to him there were until season 4 or 5.
varys is a eunuch. any implication of his relationship to young boys is a product of homophobia + his association with his "little birds"
'Game of Thrones' Scorecard: Episode 6.10, 'The Winds of Winter' Scorecard on point again. My personal favorite moment:
Watching season 1 for the first time since it aired and is it just me or is it kinda painful revisiting it? I'm squirming in my chair watching all these dead characters walking living somewhat idyllic lives back then, and then Bran's curiosity, Sansa's crush on Joffrey, Ned's mistakes, etc.
There was a scene in season 4 where he dispelled the notion that he was a "boy-lover" and confirmed he is Asexual. He claims he was never attracted to either sex even before he became a eunuch.
