Gone with the Wind is a good shout! Of course that is a 4 hour film so it would absolutely be two films these days.


it kind of is. it even has an intermission, and the parts before and after are very different, to the point of being different movies.

quarantine from the position that made it possible to be corrupt. the duration should depend on the extent of the corruption

It's my go-to online name, I made it up earlier and I wanted something that sounded elven as I was on a Tolkien binge at the time.

I downloaded and played Reigns GOT and man that game is really good! Seriously!
But I am also sad because the best GOT game is a silly mobile game. You would think that they would have make a good one by now for consoles but nope.


Crusader Kings 2 will always be the best GOT game

Bran has been shown to be able to go back in time and drive people insane.

I still want to think that he's behind the madness of the mad king Aerys and maybe the psychic fragility of Lysa Arryn as well.

Gray Worm=I like that he decides to heat to that island with the rest of the army and just relax there. Maybe a spin off where they explore the other continents?


Going to Naath is possibly one of the stupidest things a person could ever do.

Naath is home to a species of butterfly that carry a horrible lethal disease. the locals are immune, but outsiders (like Grey Worm) die quickly. No outsiders have ever managed to maintain a presence there for more than a single year. the slavers who raid the island only stay there a few hours and have to be extremely carefull.

My pet part of the "Evil Bran"-theory is that he was the one that caused Mad king Aerys to go mad.

However, one thing I take exception to is that they introduce elective monarchy to Westeros and this is seen as a good thing that will appeal to the democratic sensibilities of modern-day viewers.

It's the perfect system for the nobility to use to preserve the status quo where they hold all the power. They'll have a vested interest in electing weak kings who can't do anything about the nobility. If a king has children (which is very likely to happen with anyone after Bran) then that king will try to place his children on the throne, upsetting the nobles who if they have to chose one of the dead king's children will often deliberately go for the least competent of them in order to preserve their own power. Thus the system incentivises bad kings.

historically realms with Elective monarchy had more internal strife and were weaker against external threats than kingdoms with primogeniture. A huge reason for Poland being invaded so many times is this exact system, same with Hungary.

so after eight seasons of politicking, the grand finale is that they implement a worse succession system.
