UNCUT - Game of Thrones S1E9 - Baelor

Man, I'm disappointed that you won't be continuing. I mean, I understand. But this is one of the few shows I'd be excited to watch along with you.

Watched the whole of the show 3 or 4 times and that hits hard every time

The scene where Maester Aemon talks to Jon Snow is one of the best scenes not written by GRRM. Before I read the books, I thought that scene felt so natural and perfect for the story, I assumed it was written by GRRM. So props to the show writers for that.

Science Fiction is often also called speculative fiction. It speculates about potential developments based on actual science. All the fantastical tech in Trek is based on actual scientific principals. It gets called technobabble, but if you break it down it usually has a scientific consistency, as least loosely. Fantasy on the other hand makes zero effort at speculation. Fantasy doesn't care about making a connection with the real world. Things are literally straight up MAGIC with no logic or consideration of anything real or reasonable required. Which is fine. Its why its a separate and completely distinct genre.

I think they cast Sean Bean because he’d appeared in a movie written by David Benioff called “Troy” which is notable for being a movie where bean lives

Jon Snow saved the Lord Commander's life in episode 8 when he is attacked by a dead ranger that returned to life as a wight. That is why he gave Jon the sword.

If I remember correctly, Charles Dance had a small role as a vampire in Dracula Untold where he is the vampire who turns Dracula and also he is in one of the Underworld movies as a vampire

This was a great reaction to a great episode. I wish the TNG reactions could have remained as simple in structure as these GOT ones, but I realise that you need to try new things to build the channel especially ultimately in relation to YouTube. I hope you do return to GOT sometime soon.

EXECUTION!!!

Dead series walking

Not continuing? You showed discipline when being disciplined was easy. What happens when cliffhangers and unresolved plot points and character development sits just on the other side?

Another Charles Dance movie: Alien 3. If you ever get to it for the channel (SciFi and Horror), go with the Assembly Cut, not the theatrical cut. Doesn't 'save it' but it's largely considered to be the superior version. Oh, and he was in the Schwarzenegger movie Last Action Hero, which is a fun movie.
