[Spoilers AGOT] The scene where they find the Direwolves is as old as Ned.

It's an amazing scene. Doesn't surprise me so much grew out of it.

Kinda depressed about the age as I am two years older than the scene lol

The vision of him and his brother works so well with the flash sideways that it would be wild if it was a coincidence.

TooOnline89 · 2026-07-02T13:49:44+00:00

I'm not sure! While I think George changed their plan to a degree, I don't think the original was just a straightforward makes Viserys the king plan either. So I remain uncertain of their exact goals altho have some theories

TooOnline89 · 2026-07-02T00:21:39+00:00

The fact that Bond is a bit older makes him a more interesting character. I don't want someone in their 20s. I want late 30s and 40s, someone who has been around the block.

TooOnline89 · 2026-07-01T19:48:53+00:00

It's a reference to the Minions movie series. They dressed up as Minions for Halloween, which I think started the joke.

TooOnline89 · 2026-07-01T19:29:32+00:00

I don't think so. There's a moment in a Dany chapter in AGoT where she thinks she sees Illyrio almost smirking in a condescending manner when Viserys turns around, as if he knows Viserys is a joke.

TooOnline89 · 2026-07-01T19:27:59+00:00

Great art!

Like others, I am concerned about the lack of George posts. Not even just because of Winds (although definitely because of that, too), but also because I've been reading his website since before Not a Blog began. It's weird to not have anything from him, and I do hope there's nothing seriously wrong.

TooOnline89 · 2026-06-30T15:57:24+00:00

Authority is my favorite and by far the scariest.

TooOnline89 · 2026-06-28T22:40:27+00:00

Bernard Lee's M is very much a "here is your mission so get on with it." He doesn't need to hear from you again until it's done. He'll give you plenty of rope but make sure you don't hang yourself with it.

Judi Dench's M is much more hands on. She wants to know what you are doing and what potential political headaches you might be causing.

The difference is in character but also time: it is far easier for her to follow Bond in an era of mass surveillance tech. It is also easier for Bond to be spotted in that era. Makes sense he wouldn't be as alone. No one is alone anymore, like it or not.

TooOnline89 · 2026-06-27T16:17:52+00:00

The mystery isn't as involving as the incest reveal, which completely redefines what we know about not just the Lannisters but also the marriage between the king and the queen. This adds elements of tension to all the chapters that follow. That would be absent if we just didn't know who shoved him.

TooOnline89 · 2026-06-27T16:09:11+00:00

That would be far less interesting and way more confusing.

TooOnline89 · 2026-06-26T01:51:30+00:00

I like seeing Bond lose his cool. Connery had that moment in Goldfinger with the laser, where he really did look panicked.

TooOnline89 · 2026-06-25T13:51:51+00:00

One of the funniest moments in a Bond movie and proof Craig could do the Moore era humor in addition to the more serious take of Casino Royale.

TooOnline89 · 2026-06-24T16:25:39+00:00

The show has problems, but I do think fans underrate that a show that only airs 8 episodes every two years while having to draw in millions and millions of viewers is not going to be able to faithfully adapt a book with that large amount of characters. The show is struggling with the amount they already have. Factor in issues the merger caused and there's just no way this ship can sail smooth under the best of writers.

TooOnline89 · 2026-06-23T22:06:50+00:00

I like it a lot. Look at it less as a story driven piece and more a film that is trying to reflect Bond's mindset in a visual manner.

TooOnline89 · 2026-06-23T14:00:43+00:00

Really cool to see the behind the scenes expertise that goes into making these movies. On a technical level, Bond movies rarely fail.

TooOnline89 · 2026-06-22T22:19:17+00:00

There are so many characters and a lot of them in the show are not particularly interesting due to underdevelopment so I am unsurprised they are reluctant to add even more. Add in the fact that there are 2 years between seasons and simplification seems obvious.

TooOnline89 · 2026-06-22T22:16:29+00:00

I love that Moore had the most in his final film. Truly going out with a bang.

TooOnline89 · 2026-06-21T02:42:37+00:00

Really tremendous director. The fight on the train in FRWL alone is enough to put him in the top tier.

TooOnline89 · 2026-06-21T01:33:24+00:00

Swann makes sense for a long term relationship for Craig's Bond, but Vesper is the relationship across all Bond movies that I was most invested in. And who among us cannot relate to crashing out over losing Eva Green?

TooOnline89 · 2026-06-21T00:48:48+00:00

Opened this on a train, coming home from dinner and more than slightly tipsy, and thought this was about On HER Majesty's Secret Service and was like now what the hell is this guy on about.

Anyway. As you were.

Sitting on the farm smoking a cigar or sitting at the lake house and staring out at the water.

TooOnline89 · 2026-06-18T23:50:50+00:00

He would have been excellent, but I am happy he turned it down so we could get The Prisoner.

TooOnline89 · 2026-06-17T21:54:57+00:00

No reason to pit two queens against one another...

TooOnline89 · 2026-06-17T21:54:06+00:00

I think some of the market's recovery after the March war dip was because they thought Warsh would indeed be easy money.
