    Too bad they couldn't fit Hulk and Thor in this.

    I went to X-Men Apocalypse instead. I'm not very familiar with Marvel, but I thought it was a great movie, great story, very human, very moving too. (I don't think this is a spoiler) My favorite part was the scene with Quicksilver. Absolutely the funniest scene in a super-hero movie I have ever seen.

    Wasn't the scene with Tyrion teaching Grey Worm and Missandei to drink wine and tell jokes just adorable?

    The last two episodes of the season will no doubt be unrelenting carnage. Can't believe the show is heading toward its endgame.

    Almost as adorable as the Hound and the Brotherhood bargaining over how many he got to kill.

    Didn't remember if Mad Sweeney was supposed to be that much taller than Shadow, so I looked it up- he is.

    They won't, episode 9 is always the big episode of every season. They are mostly going to wind things down and set up next season, some shit will go down in kingslanding and the twins though.

    Well look at me being wrong, that was one of the best episodes of the entire show. Cersei in her evil queen outfit <3

    How do you make a great show like Game of Thrones even better?

    You cast Ian McShane in the upcoming season, that's how.

    The bad news?

    They mentioned in an interview that they had about 15 episodes of story left to tell, if i had to guess they will stretch that out to two full seasons.

    The soundtrack when Darth Cersei's plan unfolded really stood out and heightened the tension of the scene.

    Plan is 7 shows in 2017 & 6 in 2018 - but that could change.

    Considering HBO's ratings problems with a lot of their other programming, i'd bet on a spinoff soon. Dunk and Egg, maybe? Princess and the Queen? Rogue Prince? Martin has other stuff written that is set in this same world.

    As far as how many episodes, they'll announce it soon, probably writing it now.

    Dunk and Egg are great stories but you'd be hard pressed to get a single season out of them. At best they are one solid episode each. They could get a whole new multiple season show out of the "Dance of Dragons" war though.

    Prolly get a great HBO original movie out of each of them, though. George has notes for a Fourth, titled "She Wolves of Winterfell."

    War of the Usurper could get two or three seasons, too. And it has the advantage of characters we already know, albeit a lot younger.

    Yeah, better have a big budget, though. That'd be expensive.

    "The Ongoing Adventures of Ser Pounce & Ghost." A GoT show the whole family can enjoy!

    I was a bit upset when I read that Ghost was originally supposed to be at the BotB, but the CGI budget went to Wun Wun instead*. Maybe it's for the best, considering how the direwolves have been faring so far.

    Also, I did not know there were real dire wolves.

    *Not to say that Wun Wun wasn't fantastic; I just think HBO could have shelled out for both.

    Big interview with Neil Gaiman about the American Gods and Good Omens series. He also briefly mentions the next American Gods book, so that's still happening.

    HBO officially said today game of thrones season 7 will be only 7 eps & start summer 2017.

    I would guess maybe july 9 - aug 20.

    At least the bluray for season 6 comes out earlier than recent seasons 11/15.

    Anyone see Star Trek: Beyond? I liked it quite a bit- definitely the best of the new series and better than most of the TNG movies. I just wish I hadn't seen the trailer. That was a pretty big moment to spoil.

    Highlights:

    - Seriously crushing on Jaylah.
    - The more realistic universal translator.
    - Old Spock's photo of the original crew.
    - Even though the trailer pretty much gave it away, I still didn't think they'd completely destroy the Enterprise. But as soon as they did, you knew the movie would end with the "A." Liked the time-lapse of the new ship being built, as opposed to ST IV, where they just slapped the name on a ship they happened to have lying around.

    Only thing I didn't quite get was the villain and how his whole vampire/shape-changing thing was supposed to work.

    And of course it was sad seeing Chekhov get so much screen time, knowing what happened to Anton Yelchin.
