They should have killed grey worm in the end. He just become annoying.

Seen a quote on twitter from someone who said they were delighted to see greyworm survive because he was black. 

Isn't it wonderful that the survival of a fictional black character in fantasy magic dragon show can ameliorate the centuries of injustice. FFS this world is cowped.

Enjoying Chernobyl on Sky Atlantic, although the "ey oop, lad" accents of some of the characters takes a bit of getting used to.

Who needs fictional TV shows when you have this on. It's dark, intense and captivating.

The only annoyance I have is the range of accents in it. Should have made it authentic and used Russian actors with subs

Absolutely grim but compelling viewing tonight.

I've got used to the accents now.

I have only just finished the first episode. I will be catching up with it all before I go to sleep. Can't stop watching it.

Bans upheld for O’Brien, Poacher and Murphy.

Would this effectively ruin any chance for Carlow from a neutral point of view?

The white horse was Shadowfax and clearly Ayra is going east into a Middle Earth/Westoros spin off. 

Awful lot of similarities with LOTR

John snow clearly modelled on Aragorn even down to the style of his armour which was very like the armour in Return of the King I thought. Also the cinematography was very Star Wars -esque(I know they are involved in SW but still...). It was a good closing though and opens up the door for spin offs etc.
