was this the geekiest weekend or what?!
Sent from my iPhone
Ok, work is a hurricane on fire—I had to tell a director to PLEASE let me get some caffeine before he ambushed me about statuses (statusi?)--so I know it's going to take me a bit to really write up my thoughts, but I've seen Endgame twice and watched GoT 8.03 with the House of Boys providing analysis so come talk to me!
That was a ride and a half and my brain is freaking hurting at the timey-wimey stuff. I have no idea how Steve’s life worked & I feel like that timeline with Loki snatching the Tesseract is now a hot mess. I'm going back and forth with Nat's death; I am totally Team!Sam!Cap (I love the concept of Bucky!Cap, too, but I think this Bucky needs a little more down-time); Rescue & Iron Man fighting back-to-back was excellent & I might have squee-ed audibly when Jarvis opened Howard’s car door.
There’s really a lot more, but oy, people & their status reports...
GoT – spoilers through 8.03
Very quickly: literally, right as the Night King locked eyes with Bran and started that slooooow reach for the sword, BabyBoy and #2 said, in unison, "Arya—we haven't had eyes on her in—YES!!"
Jaime and Brienne fighting back-to-back in silhouette was pretty epic.
Also, Lyanna Mormont is the sh*t. RIP.
Alsoalso, and this isn't anything new, but this episode did a really poor job of assigning status to anything but fighting. We'd had that tiiiiiiny bit of Sansa running the keep and making a point of that having value, but then this was ridiculous. Like, seriously, people did not go into the safe-keeping spaces and just sit there waiting to be slaughtered. Why was Sansa not directing a medical layout for when the wounded started to pour in? (Even if they all thought they were going to die, it would at least keep people busy during the wait. And hey, look, still alive—now what?) Did no one drag food and water down there? Who was in charge of managing that? What was the fallback strategy and who was in charge? (I know there are ways out of those crypts; if none of the other Stark kids knew them, Bran-the-Databank had to have known about them.) There can't have just been one single little girl who wanted to fight—so put them in charge of a security force. In the end, they could have gone after the Stark zombies instead of just hoping they'd blunder about and not notice the people in the shadows. Yes, zombies, aieee, but there were Free Folk down there, too, so they're used to weirdness.
And, etc.
I actually had a lot of fun with the ep; we managed to get the settings on the TV adjusted so it wasn't total darkness and we cheered Theon and Jorah and their heroics -- sorry for that long paragraph of dislike. It skews the perception to the Bad column.
Also, holy jeez, for as careful as everyone was abt Endgame spoilers, twitter & fb were real-time spoiler factories for GoT. I’m glad I decided to watch with the kids instead of keeping a decent bedtime.
