I saw this and thought of GoT for some reason:

Sophie Turner (a.k.a Sansa Stark) playing a young Jean Grey.


Good to see another Game Of Thrones actress getting a role in a film.

Haven't read the whole thread so don't know if this has already been posted.

Edit: She was also interviewed on Two Tube yesterday.

This is the kind of thing that makes me want to waste fifty hours of my life watching the whole thing back over again. GRRM had the 'Hodor' punchline in his arse pocket for twenty odd years. I'd love to see what other foreshadows would show up on a rewatch. He's an impressively patient man.

I rewatch the whole thing before each new season airs, still noticing new little things that matter

In case any of you use the Processing 3 graphics language, have some code:

size(800, 800);
background(192,192,96);
stroke(0,0,0);
strokeWeight(24);

int s = width/2-100;
float[] vx = new float[7];
float[] vy = new float[7];

for (int v = 0; v < 7; v++) {
  float a = float(v) * PI / 3.5;
  vx[v] = s * sin(a);
  vy[v] = -s * cos(a);
  println(v, vx[v], vy[v]);
}

translate(width / 2, height / 2);
ellipse(0,0,2*s,2*s);
for (int v = 0; v < 7; v++) {
  int v2=(v+3)%7 ;
  line(vx[v], vy[v], vx[v2], vy[v2]);
}

Yeah, I'm a nerd ... :cool:

Is it bad that I get it just by reading the code? What does that make me?

It makes you a Processing programmer, I suppose. It's a great little language for quick graphics jobs, static like this one or animated.

Oh, cool - didn't think it would work there, since I'm using Processing 3 and they only support Processing 2, but it looks like my code is backwards-compatible. :cool:

I just liked the geometry of that symbol, the way those little "windows" naturally appear. It doesn't look all that ominous ...

some strange choices - Emilia Clarke has always been awful, and Peter Dinklage has been phoning it in for the last while too

Surprised Alfie Allen has never gotten a nomination.

It has been Peter Dinkalage most unspectacular season alright-
Iwan Rheon, Jonathan Pryce and Liam Cunningham all more deserving this season
Alfie Allen deserved nominee for his performance of Reek in Season 5

I've listened to the first three of those "Shadow of the Dragon" podcasts now, and they do a very good job of covering events in the timeline before the start of the show. Some things I wasn't fully aware of e.g. Tywin Lannister's close but rocky relationship with "Mad King" Aerys II Targaryen. The appointment of Jaime to the Kingsguard was even more pivotal an event than I thought.

(Hint: the podcasts are long so Double Speed mode is your friend. )

If you liked them then I'd say you'll love Rawrist on youtube. Her videos cover pretty much every major event in ASOIAF lore, particularly the events leading up to Robert rebellion and the rebellion itself. She uses both the show and the books though so if you don't want to know book only info maybe give her a miss..

Fascinating photo essay on Sansa's clothes and how they've changed over the seasons. It was emphasised early on - maybe even in the first episode - that Sansa is very good at making clothes, and she continues to make her own outfits through the years, reflecting her status and ambitions. Arya's Needle is a sword, but Sansa's needle (and thread) is no less potent a weapon in her hands.

A professional archer was asked the question: could Ramsay Bolton really have made that shot?

You know, the one that killed Rickon Stark?

The answer both surprised and impressed me, with the level of research and detail that went in to just one shot.

The choice of a Penobscot bow was perfect, and it gets better from there.

Audible is releasing an audiobook of The Art of War by Sun Tzu. The narrator's voice should be familiar:
