BTW - just going to say it, Ep 3 was MEH - they cheaped out on the battle - made it hard to see and follow, and other than a few amazing moments it was about 50% too long with nothing of consequence happening. Here is to hoping it gets a lot better. DD
I too would become the Night King if I made 2% of what a dumber colleague made. What am I saying... I think that's true right now.
But, lo!, how does he roll his eyes back into his head like that? They should have upped him to $15K. Seriously.
From what I can find, Jon Snow is making $1.2 million per episode and Bran is making $175k per episode: https://www.harpersbazaar.com/culture/film-tv/a12048623/game-of-thrones-salaries-per-episode/
Watched it again, liked it a bit better the 2nd time around. Still not feeling Melisandre as the final scene though.
So, if there was a democratic election for who sits on the Iron Throne... 1) Who would you vote for as a resident of the realm? 2) Who do you think would win a popular vote?
The southern "ethnic" libs would win the popular vote. But the angry north would gerrymander and get some pale face in the iron seat.
Doesn't matter who I vote for (usually), we all know Euron would win. He's so charismatic....gets what he wants, and just won the most recent democratic election by a landslide. Although he's "the most arrogant man I've ever met", woman "like that" in him. Dude knows how to win an election. Cersei would probably fund him too, with expectations of ruling through his charisma.
Pretty sure Cersei would collude with Essos to rig the election. She’d have lots of rallies and Make Westeros Ruthless Again hats. Daenerys would win the popular vote.
Turned the brightness up and watched the HD version of the last episode. Enjoyed it much more the second time.
