This may have been linked to before, but here’s An Illustrated Guide to all 2,339 Deaths in Game of Thrones So Far.
Beats The Sopranos and Breaking Bad by a long shot. 
:mad: The first Worst Witch book was published in 1974. There was a film made (with Fairuza Balk! And Tim Curry!!!) 10 years before Harry Potter was even published.
Harry Potter is the male Worst Witch, if anything.
Sorry I offended you; being unfamiliar with the franchise I was unaware of the timing. In any event I did not mean ‘distaff HP’ as a denigration but merely an elevator pitch thumbnail. Beyond the broadest strokes – young person discovers they are a member of a magical community heretofore unknown to them and are being trained in how to use their new powers – the stories are completely different.
How would you describe The Worst Witch in a single sentence to someone who had never heard of it before?
“That TV show starring the actress who played the second-most-badass girl on Game of Thrones”?
After Arya, of course…
Loved Weiss’ comment to EW about the ending:
"I’m hoping we get the ‘Breaking Bad’ [finale] argument where it’s like, “Is that an A or an A+?,’” he said. “I want that to be the argument. I just wish we found better directors for it.”
“The adventures of a clumsy young girl at a boarding school for student witches…that isn’t Little Witch Academia”
Are we allowed to ask book questions here?
What is happening with Sansa as of the latest book? In the series she goes to marry Ramsey and so forth, but in the book Ramsey marries a FakeSansa – Jeyne somebody, daughter of some Winterfell servant – and she’s the one who escapes and gets to Castle Black.
But where is Sansa?
IIRC Sansa is still in the Vale, pretending to be Littlefinger’s bastard daughter.
Okay, thank you.
Wow, when you think of where the books are frozen (heh) versus where the tv series is, it’s kind of shocking.
Things have moved on juuuuuust a bit.
I do wonder if the end is the same place and how far before the end do the timelines merge.
IMO there’s a decent change that Sansa and Jon rally the North to Winterfell before a confrontation with the Others. Sansa’s path there will be quite a bit different. Jon’s might not be, but hopefully doesn’t involve capturing a wight for Cersei or banging Dany.
Slate’s culture writer wonders if we must watch the final season, given the likelihood the episodes will at worst stink or at best be unsatisfying.
(edit mine)
Frankly I’m just going to watch Preston Jacobs’ reaction to them.
I’m just wondering if the writers are going to stretch the body count out, killing off a beloved character each episode or go for the gut punch and slaughter a bunch all at once? You know the body count is going to rival Gettysburg Day 3. But will it be a death by inches or “Rocks fall, everyone dies?”
Probably in Episode 3.
My money is on Sansa as the last Queen standing.
Jon banging Dany is exactly the type of thing that GRRM would do. The horror, the tragedy, etc.
Heh. That was good, even though I disagreed with him (purposefully bad grammar and all).
I think Bronn gets whacked early, to prove the deadliness of some new player. Maybe Euron at the head of the Golden Company He’s at KL at the end of the last season, right? He doesn’t go north with Jamie?
Does anyone think that’s tragic? Other than the incest it’s gotta be the most fantasy tropey story beat possible. If GRRM actually sticks to subverting tropes, they don’t end up together.
