Since HBO only gave us 4 minutes of Cregan Stark this season, and we likely will have to wait at least 2 years, if not all 4, to see him again, I'd like to bring to your attention some facts from canon to remind you just how BADASS canon Cregan is.

Fought his own usurper uncle for control of the North at the age of 16 and WON.

Fought the best sword of the 7 Kingdoms at that time, Dragonknight Aemon Targaryen to a DRAW and got praised by Aemon as the "finest swordsman Aemon has ever faced".

Marched South to uphold an oath he gave to a man he only saw once in his life to restore the monarchy- even though the said monarchy didn't give any help or care when his own seat was usurped by his uncle.

Installed so much fear of his own and his men's ferocity in battle in everyone south of Trident that when his main forces finally crossed the Riverlands, the Greens panicked and offed Aegon just to sue for peace.

Got pissed that by the time he reached Crownlands, the war was almost over. Took Kings Landing, wanted to go and take Castely Rock, Storm's End and Old Town (in no particular order). When Lord Tully rightfully mentioned that Cregan's men would die if he goes on to attack other kingdoms, Cregan replied " They died the day we marched, boy."

Became the Hand of the King and de-facto the ruler of the Seven Kingdoms for 2 weeks.

Dispensed judgment upon traitors, both the greens and the blacks. Hacked a few heads himself with his ancestral sword Ice, sent the rest to the Wall.

When Baela Targaryen begged him to show mercy to men who freed her from captivity, he refused. Not even the tears of a dragon could melt the frozen heart of Cregan Stark. But when lady Baela brandished a sword and declared she would cut off a head of any man who thought to harm the men who saved her, the Wolf of Winterfell smiled for all to see, and allowed that if her ladyship is so fond of those dogs, he'll permit her to keep them.

Made sure the new king is safe and sound.

Seeing that there was no Targaryen bride to take back to Winterfell to fulfill the Pact of Ice and Fire, released the Throne from the Pact and got himself a new bride.

Resigned his station and went back to the North, leaving half of his men to repopulate the South.

All of that at the ripe age of 23.

Another Emmy awards down - our second this year, as the collective strikes pushed 2023's Emmys to earlier this year.

No big surprises or watercolor moments. To me the biggest upset was Lamorne Morris of FARGO winning in the Best Supporting Actor for Limited. Even with Robert Downey Jr. (THE SYMPATHIZER) in the mix, I was sure it would go to Jonathan Bailey (FELLOW TRAVELERS; though I was pulling for either him or Tom Goodman-Hill (BABY REINDEER). Larmorne was the dark horse.

Who are 2024 Emmy winners (and not 2023/2024, but 2024 for realz winners).

Best Drama Series Shōgun *Shōgun broke records by winning the most Emmys in its inaugural season - 18 in total (14 at the Creative Emmys and four at the Primetime Emmys).

Best Actress in a Drama Series Anna Sawai *Anna made history by being the first Japanese actress to win Lead.

Best Actor in a Drama Series Hiroyuki Sanada

*While Cosmo Jarvis wasn't nominated, he was there and celebrated with the cast this weekend at various events like the BAFTA dinner.

With his WARFARE costars Michael Gandolfini and the Emmy nominated D'Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai.

D'Pharaoh's red hand print across his mouth brings attention to crisis of missing and murdered Indigenous women.

For the show itself, I liked that on top of the reunions, they joined genres, bringing together actors from cop shows, medical shows, law shows. Cute. The only bit that didn't work was that bit of in-show promotion for whatever booze that had Taylor Zakhar Perez and Ebon Moss-Bachrach shill. I hope the liquor goes down smoother than the transition from that bit announcing the category. On a very selfish level, I would have wanted Taylor to be a part of the honour of Greg Berlanti - he

Who do I have to sell my soul to to get a braime spinoff starring nikolaj and gwendoline? I know it would be a big hit for hbo like the richonne show is for amc

IKR? People loved seeing Gwen and Nik's chemistry on and offscreen. The fact they haven't been cast in something together is still crazy to think about.

Anything that would fix D&D's poor writing would be a monster success I'm sure! The fans would welcome it with open arms BUT reality is HBO would never allow a Game of Thrones spinoff or prequel that would undo Dumb and Dumber's hack job because they still stubbornly believe the huge fan backlash was due to the fans not wanting the show to end rather than the crap writing. So yeah a J/B spinoff where Larry comes back to life and turns into book Jaime and he and Bri have sexy adventures will never ever happen. HBO is so out of touch with their audience. Despite J/B's popularity, they always chose to showcase Twincest instead which bit them in the ass since J/C never became this profitable, fan beloved relationship Dumb and Dumber/HBO desperately wanted them to be.

I'm so happy "The Ones Who Live" is getting so much love all around! Danai Gurira and Andrew Lincoln were able to do the Richonne spinoff and be involved with the creative process because they had full support from AMC and The Walking Dead showrunners. AMC actually listened to their actors and the fanbase and now they have a record breaking hit! Take note HBO!

I don't think we'll ever see Gwen and Nik play J/B ever again. The best we could hope for is seeing them work together on a different project but who knows if that will ever happen...never say never though lol but still I'm just glad Gwen's post GOT career is doing great and I will never stop saying it lol.

HOTD possible spoiler (as well as some Fire and Blood ones) under the cut:

The person who posted the initial rumor/leak/spoiler is clarifying/sticking to it.

I've already talked about my problems with how this show has handled its black characters here (wrt Laena) and here when this Nettles rumor/leak first happened a few days ago.

Honestly, if this rumor really is true, I will pretty much be done with the show. Because aside from the racist angle the show just falls right into by doing something like this, it's also just lazy AF writing.

If the show wanted to make Rhaena a more active participant in the war that very easily can be done without making her a dragon rider. They could have her play a bigger role in helping in the survival of her family members, seeing that she, her sister, and her two little half-brothers are the only ones who do so (along with Corlys). Let her become the more politically savvy twin, using her status as a princess and such to form alliances, keep the Vale on the side of The Blacks, and things like that. Maybe even leading up to things like having her take the lead in ensuring that Corlys doesn't get executed for treason after the war is over.

But nope. Just make her a dragon rider during the conflict too. And hey, since she's black now, just have her replace the only book-canon black character in the story of the Dance, who was already speculated by some to be Daemon's bastard daughter anyway. Because all black people are just interchangeable anyway, right? 🙄 (That is if we're even bothering to give them character and story arcs in the first place; especially in comparison to their originally white book counterparts *cough*Laena*cough*).

So yeah, NGL I was already growing apathetic about the show before this, given how Leana, Rhaena, and Baela's characters were all handled in Season 1. Cutting out Nettles and just having Rhaena take her place? When the two characters are nothing alike, personality-wise?

Yeah, if this really is true then no thank you. I'll check out clips of the big moments -- Rook's Rest, Blood and Cheese, and whenever The Battle Above the God's Eye happens in some later season -- on YouTube or something. But actively watch episodes in full? Nope.

Again, I'll wait to full-out rant on this when it's 100% confirmed in some way. (And yes, such a rant very likely would include talking about how color-conscious casting & writing > > > > > > color-blind casting & writing; and using that to properly world build -- because yes that is possible even wrt a fantasy world like Westeros, which already has established places in its world where black people prominently lived and originated from.) Maybe waiting to do so is just me being in denial, IDK. But I'm kind of having deja vu wrt how I felt about the rumors circulating about Season 8 of GOT again. I just couldn't believe the writers were going to be that level of hack-lazy. And yet . . . .

I really had hopes that HBO had learned from that mistake and that the writing team and showrunners for this show wouldn't do something similar. But ever since I saw what happened to Laena's character, (and how her role in Rhaenrya's life -- when they were young -- was basically given to Alicent), I've been questioning if they really have . . . . or ever did. 🤷🏾‍♀️

Sister: (sigh) He was too attractive for this show anyway...

Me: Everyone’s meeting with their lawyer in the visiting room today… Sister: They’re having a convention at the Marriott so they thought they'd swing by.

Sister: Why’s he so tan? Me: ...Probably because they don’t actually live here.

Sister: Hmm… Well, since Egg Man is dead, guess he can be the new eye candy. They keep sending them all away, though, so I bet he’s going to die soon anyway…

Sister: Tendeth? That’s what [Sister] does. Adds an -eth on the end of words!

Sister: (gasp) The cast of monte carlo…. The cask of… amontadillo… What is it? The cast… the cask… of amonte… amontypython?

Sister: Going to start saying this when anyone tries to talk to me on the toilet.

Sister: (perks up) Oh, are we going to end Solitary confinement? (pause) Nah… He doesn’t have the brain power to make that connection… He just wants the delusions to end so he can stick him back in Solitary.

Sister: Not this again. [Sister] doesn’t want to watch this…

Sister: Yeah, he killed like four people! Me: He didn’t kill anyone. Sister: The guy in the TV? Me: Oh right. Well, before, though. He just stabbed McManus, he didn’t kill anyone. Sister: He stabbed your guy, too! Me: (laughing) Oh yeah… He didn’t stab anyone else, though. Just McManus. He attacked the reporter guy but didn’t stab him. Sister: (pained sigh) You have selective memory just because you find him amusing… He’s like a troublesome little dinosaur to me. Gotta keep my eye on him…

Sister: I can’t even remember it and I’ve been watching this every Saturday for months...

Sister: (suddenly turning to me) Question for the community: why hasn’t anyone noticed yet that the church guy is missing?

Sister: He’s not out?! Oughhhhhhhhhhhhhhh….

Sister: You know, when they say they’re hardened criminals, you don’t expect them to have, like, turtle plates… The hacks die so easily… It’s because they don’t have osteoderms like the prisoners… The doctor’s going to do another unethical medical trial and discover all the prisoners are turtle people.

Sister: Um.. they don’t really believe in you, though. They got, like, weak minds… And you constantly bamboozle them…

Sister: So embarrassing…. No boom?

Stray Thoughts

Prisoner named Hardin who works bedpans

Penis count: 1

Old man butt: 1

Sister was suspicious of Tobias’s entire release sequence due to how ominous she found the outdoors; she kept thinking Beecher would get killed

The J&B whiskey bottle looks pretty much exactly like Chinese black vinegar bottles which makes it funny to see characters like Glynn with the bottle on their desk

Spotted another Chico lip lick during the scene they finally get HBO in Oz lol

[thephantomcasebook]

I really hate the way the show adapted Aegon, and everytime that I think about it my blood boils. Alicent, Rhaenyra, Viserys, hell even Otto is more whitewashed in the show, but Aegon got the worst treatment. I personally LOVE show!Aemond but I absolutely don't like him in the books (most of the greens defeats were his fault), and he was the best adapted from the books (especially his love for Helaena, and this is gonna conquer people's hearts next season, clone number 2's death being acidental, his guilt from his nephew death in Blood and Cheese, his persual for vengeance next season for Daemon for hurting the woman he loves 😭).

But Aegon? What the hell Sara Hess was thinking? Ryan Condal loves Aemond (actually he whole production seems to really love the character), and I saw him talking about Aegon, and he says that he likes the character too, but WFT he let them ruined him like that? Why waste Tom Glynn Carney talents like that? The way he talks about the character and even was worried about that *ape scene. I know Rhaenyra is to HBO an "apology" for Dany, what I find hilarious since in the book is very clear that she never was a good person ☠️

A good script and TGC's talent, and his love for Sunfyre and his family, Aegon would be a absolute favorite, but NAH let's turn the Dance of Dragons (a story about how Targaryen exceptionalism *ucked them up), about sexism. I hate Hollywood.

What I'm finding out through deep dive and asking questions seems to be that nobody took "House of the Dragon" seriously when making it. Everyone believed that it was going to fail and that there wasn't an audience left for it after Season 8 of "Game of Thrones"

Sapochnik did not want to come back to the ASoIaF Universe - which he hated - and made a caviot that he (and his wife) would be able to have creative control over the story which HBO granted despite GRRM's Protests.

There's a very - VERY - Good video done by Razorfist that really puts context what I'm about to postulate.

Essentially, after the cascading failure of Season 8 of "Game of Thrones", to get HOTD green lit they went all in on the ESG corporate structure and luxury politics in order to shield the show and get the money necessary to make HOTD in the first place.

So what you have is hiring an actress to play Rhaenyra whose very mid and couldn't hack it for years in the industry ... but she has "They/Them" as pronouns which will up their ESG score. They took GRRM and Condal's scripts and changed them on the fly to make it about "The evils of Patriarchy" and how powerful men keep women down, which is absolutely not what the "Dance of the Dragons" was about, but it will up their score for ESG money. They basically told the cast not to read nor heed the source material and that Sapochnik and his wife were the arbiters of the story they wanted to tell, which had nothing to do with GRRM's story and everything to do with both Sapochnik and his wife's ambitions.

Warner and HBO were hemorrhaging money - were in 50 Billion Dollars in debt - and so "House of the Dragon" was supposed to be their ticket to ESG seed money to keep the company afloat. And part of that was saying and doing all the things absolutely necessary to get the recognition for the "Woke" points that would allow them to get access to that corporate hedge money to continue on.

Any writer worth their salt or in their right mind would tell Sara Hess "Absolutely not" when she proposed all the dumb shit she did. But, because, Sara Hess is part of the LGBT community and because she shares the luxury political beliefs of the corporation and Sapochnik's wife, she got to do what she wanted.

If you watch the behind the scene stuff - notice how they talk about how much of 1x09 was rewritten very close to shooting. The Massacre at the Dragon Pit during the Coronation and Aegon being a rapist was literally changes done at the last minute by Hess, and what I've gathered from Glynn-Carney interviews and the Director that stuff was not in the original script for 1x09 and that Hess basically changed the entire course of the story, because, she wanted to put her ideological bent on the show.

It is an arrogance coming from both the belief that no one cared about ASoIaF anymore and that she and Sapochnik were in charge of the show - Condal and GRRM were basically the nerds in the corner doing their homework for them. They drew the images for Sapochnik and Hess's coloring books. That way Sapochnik and Hess can show HBO "Their art work" to put up on the ESG fridge even though all they did was color in the lines with Rainbow flags.

Make no mistake the people in charge of Season 1's production did not give a shit about the story nor the characters, they cared about getting their own messages across and hedge fund money. It is a testament to Condal's scripts and the professionalism to actors like Ewan Mitchell and Tom Glynn-Carney, that cared about these characters when no else did. Even with the shocking irreverence shown the source material. Season 1 still shined through based on the dedication of professionals both from the crew and certain key actors.
