Comic Con is on its way and we can expect many genre news in the following days. IGN has revealed a poster for Godzilla (coming on May 16th 2014) directed by Gareth Edwards (Monsters (2012)).
The poster (as well as the variant) is done by Mondo and as usual with Mondo it has a very unique style:
So we have finally arrived at what seems to be a pivotal moment for the story of Game of Thrones. When more and more people started to read the books by George R.R. Martin I started to notice a trend that people who had read book 3 A Storm of Swords would hint at something that seemed to be a devastating character death.
Then I watched an interview with George R.R. Martin he was asked how he felt when killing off major characters and he too had to avoid spoilers but hinted at a major character death in book three and there was a notable sigh from the audience. Which kept me wondering… who would bite the dust in Season 3?
This week will be the moment when we find out and in this spoilerfree article I will speculate which characters might be in for a very rough ride.
We are almost at the end of this year’s season in Westeros and the pieces are starting to fall in place. And as if to prepare us for Episode 9 we only had 3 big stories this week and two short moments at beginning and end.
According to writers David Benioff and D.B. Weiss they can’t afford to specifically write a theme for every episode as is convention on television. In a podcast at Winteriscoming.net Bryan Cogman also commented on his episode (Kissed by Fire S03E05) that they don’t specifically set out to write an episode about certain characters. But he said that it can happen that some scenes in an episode correspond to each other in a way so that it seems as if there was a deliberate theme.
This seemed to be the case with The Bear and the Maiden Fair – the seventh episode of this season – written by no one else than George R.R. Martin himself.
In Iron Man 3 Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) has to deal with posttraumatic stress disorder after the events of The Avengers. Meanwhile a mysterious terrorist only known as the Mandarin (Ben Kingsley) starts bomb attacks which can’t be traced back to him. On top of that Aldrich Killian (Guy Pearce) appears with a strange new DNA-changing virus known as Extremis and has some unfinished business with Tony.
Over half the Season behind us and this week’s episode The Climb did some heavy lifting for things to come.
Episode 5 of Season 3 … and this means that we are halfway through with the newest season of Game of Thrones. And written by Bryan Cogman who has written an episode each season (S01E03 and S02E03) and it was probably the most intimate episode of this Season with all the things we learned about Westeros’s inhabitants.
