He could expand the channel to include covering new shows, shows that have ended organically, and shows that were canceled. Better Call Saul, Westworld, Stranger Things, The Handmaid's Tale, Atlanta, Mr. Robot, The Haunting of Hill House, Mindhuner, Ozark and Star Trek are just a few of the shows that are crushing their ratings and would fit into the channel's format.

it is mind boggling how people are not talking about any of the magic shit is going down. It was this huge build up in earlier seasons how we the audience could see magic and the characters kept on saying it was all folclore and long gone. And here we are, where no one gives a wink to any of the news. Resurrection, meh, the wall has fallen, meh, bran can see the past, meh, Dragons in the north, meh, one dragon is a zombie, meh. - we are way more affected by any of this than any of the people living it in the series.

Its funny how they had no issues in collecting all those awards because the "complainers" bought merch, promotes the show, voted for them.

@@xenosaga8436 except Dany already has done this..several times. She could've sailed for westeros to seek her throne earlier but stayed in Essos for several seasons for the purpose of liberating Slavers Bay. She did so again last season in riding north to save Jon and his crew and losing a child/dragon in the process. She's doing so again now by turning her focus away from Kings landing and bringing 2 armies and 2 armies to protect the north. She pledged to fight for and defend the north prior to Jon bending the knee. No character is perfect, but we do need to see that she has put aside her quest for the throne for the good of other people several times now.

@misslala1377 5 лет назад

@Mark Lucchese because like her Ancestor, Aegon I, that has been her life long goal.. The only thing she's known all her life that kept her going. On the run all her life, sold off for an army, raped every night, forced to accept and make the best of her situation by making her rapist fall in love with her and then falling in love with that person... tbh, that fate is probably worse than dying! But the only thing that kept her going was her quest for the throne, to walk in her ancestors footsteps. People say so much about Aegon the great but she's done 10% of what he had andnobody calls him mad infact most say he was a badass but Dany is labelled evil mad queen. Sure she isn't very bright and not as enigmatic and charming like Aegon the first, but he conquered cities and laid ruins to armies as big as 50 thousand... Dany killed a few and suddenly she is mad...

@misslala1377 5 лет назад

@Mark Lucchese Also, Jon is not a messiah that everyone seems to think he is.. He saw Dothrakis dying, tons of white walkers but instead he wanted to wait for the night king. Dothrakis are HER people, she is going to protect them. Its not his people, he doesn't give a toss. Also like it was mentioned in the video for second episode, waiting for night king and not utilising your dragons against wights is a stupid ass decision. All night king had to do was wait around and send his millions of wights!

@@bezukaking6860 lmao hehe just a fun joke trying to show that tyrion is in no position to trump any offer cercei could give to bronn 😂

@kevinw712 5 лет назад

Yeah that scene was very curious in a couple different ways. cause if you take everything that's said completely on face value, there the point of, as you said (& as they bothered to reiterate last season) Tyrion always had the deal with Bronn that he'd double the price if someone offered Bronn to betray him. But also if staying at face value, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense that Cersei wouldn't have come to present such an offer in person, so then that gets into the (I would guess at the very least more than 50% of the hardcore fandom) knows that because of real life drama between Lena Headey and Jerome Flynn, they contractually won't be the same scene together. BUT, is there a chance that D&D are using a rare opportunity to sort of play with the audience's knowledge of that and trying to hide the fact that Cersei isn't aware of this assignment of Bronn's at all, that Qyburn is doing this all on his own, the extend of all his reasons why being somewhat unclear so far... And of course this all beside the fact of Qyburn being given one hell of a one-liner as soon as he walks in, freaking out Bronn that he was just boning a disease-ridden whore lol

Cercei crying wasn't a response to the pregnancy comment by Euron. It is clear that she is holding up a front in front of Euron. That's why she begins crying the second Euron shuts the door behind himself, because she is finally free to express her emotions.
