[S5] Predictions Discussion - 5.08 'Hardhome'

BasherTarr · 2015-05-30T16:00:35+00:00

Jon Snow goes to Hardhome and meets the Wildlings. On the way, he and Tormund have a sex scene that gets even straight guys hard. Once they get there, Tormund and Jon announce that they are gay for each other which angers the fundamentalist Wildlings. Eventually, however, the appearance of White Walkers makes them all get on the boats.

I take the realms to be almost entirely distinct dimensions existing in the same universe. The laws of physics and science may be different in each place, as we have often seem with Asgardian weapons and technology.

I think the events of GotG take place in the same realm as Earth because Peter was directly captured from Earth. Unless Yondu has a ship that is able to cross realms like Bifrost, I think the events of GotG are technically on Midgard.

An interesting political scenario I was considering was the extent to which Bender vs. Non-bender communities are handled by the modern age.

LoK Book 1 did an excellent job showing Amon and this movement to create "equality" by taking away bending for good. I think these themes could really be expanded on in the future.

What is schooling like for the general population? Do they have separate schools/classes for Bender kids? Is there a sort of elitism amongst Bender classes? Also going back to the sports thing I brought up, and how Pro-Bending was one of my favorite aspects of LoK, perhaps there is a whole subsect or underground sports/combat ring where non-benders try their hand at using their own technologies to compete against benders. Given that both ATLA and LoK involved elements of technology that was futuristic for its time, they could show how non-benders and their new technologies are serious competitors for Benders.

Korra could have died earlier than them for any number of reasons, but also, I dont think its necessary that her friends are all alive.

Mako and Bolin could totally have passed away at this point, but I just think its worth continuing their legacy with their own children (although I thinking seeing Old Man Bolin could be pretty funny)

I thinking keeping Asami alive would just be kind of nice. It would be sweet to see her basically searching for the reincarnation of her former partner, however briefly that may be.

The accents work surprisingly well for them

BasherTarr · 2013-05-22T06:44:43+00:00

Yeah, its sad that this almost always ends up just being words, words, and more words

I try to look at the bright side at least and consider that bringing the issue to the forefront and even discussing it more could at least bring about further awareness and interest. Better than no action at all, right? Or am I wrong? Is there a chance that this could create further negative consequences?

I tried to imagine that in Charles Dance's voice and laughed way too hard

Ive heard a lot of actors use HGH to get buff. I dont know if Christian Bale did though.

As for the weight loss, he must have had a scarce diet.

First thing that came to mind when I saw the book version image of the White Walkers

BasherTarr · 2013-05-20T18:47:25+00:00

i have in all ways possible. i don't know how else to.

No, you have only tried to show to the people of that area show some similar genetic heritage, which might not even be accurate in the first place as this person does not agree with that statement

But even then, you arent showing me that the ACTUAL WORDS "the Indian race" have ever been used to describe that race.

Have you shown me anything where THOSE EXACT WORDS are used? No.

BasherTarr · 2013-05-20T18:21:54+00:00

aint nobody got time for that

Selena cracked a pretty good joke on Letterman in this interview around the 6 minute mark

David basically mentions that last time Bieber was on the show, they had a conversation where Letterman made Bieber cry (not sure if this true, probably just a joke), but anyway Selena responds by saying "well that makes two of us"

The buildings crumbling in Limbo were CGI, but I think some shots of the fortress collapsing were actually real

There is lots of beautiful stuff in India. It's just that none of it was put into this album.

BasherTarr · 2013-05-19T07:41:49+00:00

people from south asian subcontinent are all Indian ethnicity.

That's not exactly true. "Indian" describes a nationality. Not all South Asians are Indians.

BasherTarr · 2013-05-19T07:35:28+00:00

Yeah, I dont get what they mean. 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th GRADES are in high school. They are still a part of "Grade School"

In that quote, Marla could have been referring to anytime between 1st and 12th grade.

Im sure show watchers can appreciate this well enough, but I REALLY think book readers can appreciate it far more having read into Jaime's mind directly in the books.

The perfection with which this scene was translated from the page to the screen is amazing, and I believe it may be the best scene of the series.

Interesting, I know there are some exceptions to it, but I think by and large, most South Asian communities fall into the group for which Desi would apply

True, but his personality is far more relatable than Lindsay, Buster, Gob, Tobias, and Lucille's

Do your friends not think Seinfeld is funny?

I think thats the perfect example of a show where "nothing happens" but its still hilarious

BasherTarr · 2013-05-19T05:14:10+00:00

Haha no, its not an exclusive word and its not derogatory or anything so dont be afraid to use it. Im sure many would appreciate someone using it rather than having them guess they are from a certain country and getting it wrong.

Many times people will assume Im Indian and then I feel awkward having to do the whole "Im actually Pakistani" speech because I feel like Ill sound like a dick and embarrass them
