Greetings, my Westerosi window envelopes As you can probably guess, last weeks episode of Game of Thronesand its increasing dominance over the pop culture landscapehas filled the ol postmans stolen mailbag to the brim. There are a few spoilers for last weeks episode, but more importantly, an answer to a question we should have been asking ourselves since the first episode Should we want Daenerys and Jon Snow to fuck Aunt, Man. Aaron W. So Ive been struggling with this question a lot Is it ok to ship JonDany On the con side, they are aunt and nephew, which is gross. On the pro side it would sidestep Dany needing Jon to bend the knee and is a solution that the northmen would probably accept it would be thematically consistent fireice and it would eliminate almost all of the tension for trying to root for two characters who are at odds with each other due to circumstances beyond their control and the expectations of their subjects. Given that, I still would come out on the con side, except that we already know that some degree of inbreeding e. Westeros and that the Targaryens in particular practiced an even more exclusive e. So the auntnephew dynamic is an absolute deal breaker to modern audiences, but maybe wouldnt be the worst thing in WesterosLots of reasons it would be good, but one BIG reason it is unacceptable. Thoughts Shipping is shipping. Ive seen worse than aunt and nephew. Much worse. And the show is definitely presenting them as future romantic partnersfuckbuddies, which makes it as legitimate as these things get. Their familial relationship may freak you out, but thats sort of the point. GRRM wants to show a medieval, feudal type era with all the awfulness most fantasies skip over. The relentless sexism, the rape and torture, the horror that regular people could and did experience constantly as the result of what the nobility chose to doyou can absolutely complain about how omnipresent it is in his stories andor how its portrayed, but its not inaccurate to the source material of that reality. And one part of that reality is medieval and certainly ancient nobilitys tendency toward incest, especially between uncles and niecesto the point where its got its own name, avunculate marriage. As you said, the booksshow have already shown that Targaryens have been more than willing to marry within the family in order to keep their bloodline pure, so theres a precedent for Jon and Dany starting a relationship. And since were talking about an aunt and nephew here since Jon is the son of Danys deceased brother Rhaegar and not uncleniece, a JonDany hook up would kind of strike a blow for Westerosi gender equality, in a tiny, messed up way. At any rate, as a Targaryen, Daenerys is obviously going to be down with getting down with Jon Snow, as it would be kind of meaningless to sieze the Iron Throne without leaving a new Targaryen line to carry on ruling. I am far more skeptical that Jon would be cool with sleeping with his aunt, given the rest of Westeros isnt nearly as cool with incest hence Cersei and Jaimes hiding of their sexual relationshipwell, until Cersei took the throne and decided that yes, in fact, as queen she gets to have sex with anyone she wants, and everyone else has to deal with it. Or be tortured and killed. But Jons problem is easily solved by keeping his parentage from him until after Ice and Fire have fucked each other. In fact, I suspect Bran is keepingwill keep the truth of Jons parentage from everyone until after Daenerys gets pregnant for that very reason. The Three Eyed Raven knows this has to happen, so mums the word for now Or GRRMor the show, for that matter, since we know its diverging from GRRMs plan in major wayscould just throw a curveball and have Dany marry Gendry, the closest thing King Robert had to a legitimate heir, combining the Targaryen and Baratheon lines to create a progeny whose claim to the throne is unassailable throughout Westeros. Actually, thats a pretty good ideaJaime in the Water. Brett H. I see people talking everywhere about how Jaime could possibly be alive, but how Hes way at the bottom of the lake and in full armor. No way Bronn can hold his breath long enough to get down there, cut all the straps to all the pieces of the armor, pull them off, and then also pull him to safety before they both drown. Im not going to say its unrealistic, since Jaime was pushed into the water to avoid a dragon, but the point of Game of Thrones is that it has fantasy elements but its still realistic in the basic laws of physics. So isnt Jaime getting rescued impossible You bring up a good point about fantasy, in that the best fantasy has a set of rules, even if the audience doesnt know them, and doesnt break them. Someone suddenly having a hoist person out of lake spell to save Jaime would be dumb. Tyrion running down the hell and begging Dany to have Drogon fish the dude who was about to kill her out of the lake is more realistic for Go. T, but implausible in terms of Danys character and the time it would take for Tyrion to get down to Dany and ask for her to save his brother. So that leaves Bronn. Heres one thing we all need to make our peace with first, right now Game of Thrones the TV show has begun playing fast and loose with strict reality in favor of presenting the most exciting story possible. This is how armies and fleets are moving gargantuan distances in between and sometimes even during episodes. Its why Tyrion can pick out Jaime from half a mile away amid a battlefield full of smoke and destruction. Its why Cersei and her allies can suddenly kick ass or all of Highgardens gold can get into Kings Landing with a mutter and a handwave. There are only nine episodes left, total, as of the time this mailbag hits the nerdernet. The show doesnt have any time to waste. Yes, part of the reason the books are so good is because they were sprawling and complicated in the way life is, and yes, the show is 1. But the choices were to either have the story on fast forward so it actually ends next year or for Daenerys to have her first battle with Cerseis forces in the season eight finale. So with all that said Since Game of Thrones has forgone its sense of realism a bit, I can see it having Bronn manage to dive down to Jaime, cutting him out of his armor, and dragging him to the surface before he fatally drowns. I also, as I mentioned in my recap this week, think it doesnt make any narrative sense for Bronn to push Jaime out of the way of a giant cone of dragon breath into a lake, only to have him immediately drownif Weiss and Benioff are going to kill the character, having Jaime get turned into cinders by Drogon is a much, much cooler death. So I think the show will forgo realism I mean, how was that lake at the side of that road a full 3. Bronn will cut Jaime out of his armor and drag him to the surface because Jaime is the one whos going to give him a castle, after all, and the Lannister will probably live to fight another day. And I also think hell be the one to perform those book spoilers valonqar duties, and obviously, he cant do that if hes dead. Last time I looked, I didnt see any friendly priests of Rhllor nearby. Where to even beginThe Spoils of War was the reason we watch Game of Thrones, one of thoseRead more Read. Gone But Not Forgotten. Michael V. Postman,After re watching GOT from the beginning a few times, I believe that Ser Barristan Selmy is one character whose presence would enhance Season 7 while not distracting from the current main plots of the show. Ser Barristan would have been the most solid member of Daenerys Queensguard due to military and combat experience, but his relationship to Rhaegar is most interesting. When Dany tells Jon that everyone loves doing what theyre best at, Jon disagrees. Overlooked Sci Fi Movies You Need To See. With Star Wars revived, Star Trekrebooted and more installments of the Alienseries on the way, science fiction reigns at the box office. In an era of computers, smartphones, Siri, and digital everything else, technology shapes our lives more than ever before, and moviegoing audiences have more of a taste for the fantastic and surreal images of sci fi than ever before. Sci Fi movies, are, of course, nothing new. Since the earliest days of film, directors and writers have tried to explore new realities by mixing tech and fiction. While some sci fi outings become instant classics, others fade from view. For a select few, thats a disservice. Some films like Tron, Blade Runner, or The Thing fell through the cracks and audiences of their time dudnt connect with them. One of the many virtues of home media is that it allows cinephiles, like those of us here at Screen. Rant, to go back and reevaluate movies that get overlooked during their box office run. The titles contained herein didnt attract audiences of their day, or fell out of the public consciousness. Thats a shameeach one is a masterpiece of sci fi cinema in its own right. Think you know themCheck out our list of The Greatest Overlooked Sci Fi Masterpieces. Brazil. Terry Gilliam gets little respect in Hollywood as a visionary director, which is our loss. The man has made some spectacular films, including the little seen masterpiece Brazil. A sort of dark comedy take on Orwells 1. Bob Hoskins, Robert De. Niro, Jim Broadbent, andin a rare leading roleJohnathan Pryce. Set in a weird dystopian future populated by skyscrapers, secret police and a lot of air ducts, Brazil follows one mans obsession with finding the woman of his dreams. Sporting astonishing art direction, and a script that plays even more timely in a world of paranoia the movies take on terrorism is especially prophetic, and hilarious, Brazil confused audiences in 1. Unlike that novel, Brazil sees its ending as a happy one, owing to a frequent theme in all Gilliams work crazy people are the happiest in the world The Fountain. Darren Aronofsky puzzled audiences and critics alike with his enigmatic The Fountain. Viewers were divided in their opinions of the film, regarding it as a modern masterpiece or a bombastic work of ego. In truth, its probably both. Regardless, The Fountain holds a special distinction among modern sci fi, as it doesnt feature superheroes, space battles, or aliens. Instead of venturing into far outer space though it does feature scenes in space, it probes human history and the depths of the human spirit. Set in three separate time periods, it features conquistadors searching for the fountain of youth, a man mourning his dying wife, and a bald guy eating a tree in space. Its that kind of movie. Whats really going on here Are the couples reincarnations of one anotherParallel lives lived in parallel universes The dreams of one anotherLike the visual poetry of 2. A Space Odyssey or Mulholland Drive, just when The Fountain seems poised to reveal its secrets, it recoils into an enigma. Cube. This little seen sci fi thriller became an instant cult film when it debuted in 1. Shot on a single set with a group of unknown actors, Cube finds its characters kidnapped and held in a giant series of connecting cube rooms. How did they get thereWhat is the function of the cube And how can they escape Cube adds tension to the proceedings by introducing a group of unstable characters, any of whom could end up dead at any time. The lack of stars in the cast only underlines that anything goes quality. A higher profile film with big name actors in the leads would telegraph to the audience that their characters would live through, at the very least, most of the movie. Director Vincenzo Natali crafts a latter day masterpiece using a simple sci fi premise and building a mystery as frightening as it is captivating. The film also proves that even sci fi movies dont need ridiculous budgets or special effects to achieve greatness. Contact. Audiences that saw Robert Zemeckis Contact in 1. The film did well at the box office but, though Oscar buzzed, he didnt grant the film any major nominations. Maybe viewers accustomed to bloated space operas couldnt stomach the films subtlety. Based on the novel by astronomer Carl Sagan, Contact follows a brilliant scientist obsessed with discovering alien life. She discovers an ominous radio signal containing instructions to a mega machine and the world goes nuts. What does the machine do What do the aliens want And how can humanity adapt to knowing that it is not alone in the universeContact takes a realistic examination of the current state of civilization, and asks stark questions about how man would react to contact with aliens. In a post War on Terror world, certain developments that seemed ridiculous in 1. Thoughtful, endlessly provocative, and utterly captivating, Contact deserves mention alongside classics like 2. Close Encounters of the Third Kind as a seminal sci fi masterpiece. Dark City. Viewers who have taken in Alex Proyas Dark City know that the Wachowskis, along with just about anyone else in Hollywood to make a sci fi blockbuster in the past 2. Little seen in its day but widely influential, Dark City deserves the same reverence and classification as Blade Runner. Both are overlooked masterpieces of sci fi cinema. Also, like Blade Runner, Dark City takes the neo noir approach to sci fi. In a city that never sees a sunrise, a group of bald, mysterious men wander about drugging its inhabitants and manipulating their memories. Just what do they want, and how does an anxious scientist played by Kiefer Sutherland in a marvelous, pre 2. Watch Full Destino 2002. Dark City raises questions about how memories affect our emotions and how our minds create our own reality. The incredible art direction of the movie, employing lots of scarlet lips, black leather trench coats, fedoras, and strange clockwork machines should have won an Oscar and gets rehashed just about everywhere today. For a stroke of moviemaking brilliance, take a visit to Dark City. AI Artificial Intelligence. This long in development collaboration between Steven Spielberg and Stanley Kubrick hit theatres in 2. Boasting a remarkable cast, lead by Hayley Joel Osment, it left audiences frustrated and confused. Beautifully photographed and with two great performances by Osment and Jude Law, it offered a look into a technologically advanced world populated by companion robots. But what, if anything, was it trying to say about all of itAudiences puzzled over the last 1. Osments robot protagonist David interacting with even more highly advanced robots, and scenes in which his human mother is cloned. After fifteen years of debate, the perhaps overly subtle meaning has started to become clear. The robots of the future are programmed to love humans, which have long gone extinct. David actually knew humans, and therefore is a kind of cybernetic messiah to these sentient toasters. Taken in that way, the film examines the responsibility of humanity to its own creations. The movie might have been an instant classic upon its release had Spielberg focused more on the emotional attachments of humans to machines. But the director made a more unusual choice instead. Does that subtlety, or the focus on the plight of, well, A. I., make the film any less of a classic No way 9. The Dark Crystal. Now heres a film that is totally, utterly, unique. The Dark Crystal served as Muppet mastermind Jim Hensons attempt to branch off into more serious and fantastic filmmaking. The movie tells its story with just puppets no humans ever appear on the screen. The puppetry, and the choice to tell a dark sci fifantasy story put off audiences who were expecting the whimsy and slapstick of the Muppets. After doing moderate box office numbers and receiving mixed critical response, The Dark Crystal fell by the wayside. But the movie wouldnt go away.
