What are your thoughts on GRRM new post ?

https://georgerrmartin.com/notablog/2024/07/05/blood-cheese-and-grief/

GRRM expresses that he enjoyed the episode's drama and Helaena's/Phia's performance of grief, the dog, excuses Cheese' confusion...but he doesn't actually commend the decision to make Maelor absent, which means he probably has issues with the actual event and interaction of the B&C event/Helaena's lack of Sophie's Choice. And what Maelor's nonexistence means for later events.

He talks around the actual thing itself--Helaena confronted by B&C-- only features of the main event that this episode was written for/around. I think that is very telling.

First, Helaena:

As I mentioned in this post, I already thought that Helaena would likely have ridden Dreamfyre often but what most interests me is his point that she was "adored" by the smallfolk. If so, he succeeded in not really conveying that with evidence because those same smallfolk still tried to kill the same girl's dragon and the Shepherd's contrasting her supposed "purity" to Rhaenyra's "evil" licentuousness provides more evidence as to why she'd be so "adored". Bec in this propaganda book, you'd think that there'd be more actual evidence for how she & Alicent was "adored" or "beloved" BEFORE the Dance like how there is for Alysanne and Rhaenys But we'll take it for now, since his intent in this post is to share his positive reaction to the first 2 episodes alone for the season.

Like what he said about how Viserys was written, he likes how Helaena here is given more "complexity":

Saban’s performance is especially noteworthy; very little of what she brings to the part was in my source material. Last season HOUSE OF THE DRAGON essentially recreated King Viserys, giving him a much different backstory and far more depth than the jolly party-loving king I created for FIRE & BLOOD. I talked about that last year, so I won’t repeat myself, save to say it was very well done, and DAMN but Paddy Considine was glorious in the role.   (He should have won an Emmy). The HotD team have done the same thing here with Helaena.  In the book, she is a plump, pleasant, and happy young woman, cheerful and kindly, adored by the smallfolk. A dragonrider since the age of twelve, Helaena’s greatest joy in life is to take to the skies on the back of her dragon Dreamfyre.  None of the strangeness she displays in the show was in evidence in the book, nor is her gift for prophecy. Those were born in the writers’ room… but once I met the show’s version of Helaena, I could hardly take issue. Phia Saban’s Helaena is a richer and more fascinating character than the one I created in FIRE & BLOOD, and in “Rhaenyra the Cruel” you can scarcely take your eyes off her.

It's...very interesting that he doesn't mention episode 3...which was nearly universally hated or treated as a "funny" or comedic episode...strange since a death of a child is supposed to hang around for a little longer and tensions are supposed to accumulate into unbearable levels but I digress 😐. I bring this up bc apparently, it is the same episode where you see Helaena express little of that grief he praises the show for making her express through Phia's performance (I agree w/GRRM--the grief factor alone of that performance was good) AND the show takes the time to say she "forgives" Alicent for apparently being inattentive for her kid's death to happen...meanwhile she's supposed to be so lost in grief that's it's unlikely she actually has the time or energy to even care abt Alicent OR to feel like she can forgive her bc her kids is gone forever...

So, this part:

And Phia Saban gave a wrenching, powerful, heart-breaking performance as Helaena Targaryen, Aegon’s doomed, haunted queen and mother to his children.

Is funny as hell. Undermines all of the 1st 2 episodes he liked.

As I said in previous show!Helaena criticisms, it was inevitable that show!Helaena was going to be a "rounder" character than the book...precisely bc she is not mentioned often besides that descr GRRM gave above, B&C, her going mad, and her death/Dreamfyre's cry. She's given more...but I maintain that the "more" is self contradictory and we haven't actually explored her life or her "visions", which are just shown as "feelings" rather than dreams. The characterization, is still flatter than show!Viserys, who we actually still explore and see outside of Rhaenyra, Alicent, Otto even. Thereby, Helaena show-wise is still an aesthetic of grief rather than a character and if you enjoy her being an aesthetic of the grief GRRM, I don't really understand how you aren't disappointed with how they ruined even that in epi 3.

 I have visited real castles that did not look half as imposing as the Red Keep and Dragonstone did.  And they were HUGE.  I could easily have gotten lost, just like Blood and Cheese did.

I once said that it was weird they got lost:

bk!Cheese was very knowledgaeble abt where to go and how, which tunels to use…which is why he was chosen in the first place and why his "job "profession" (ratcatcher) is so important, bc these guys know where to lay traps in hidden places for rats -

GRRM is not a medieval ratcatcher who consistently works at a specific castle he's been to many times and he never was/can be one, but sure we'll take his word of enjoyment for it. Would have been better argument if he brought in historical evidence of ratcatchers getting lost and how frequently they did. In the episode, Cheese said he never went up to the upper rooms like some other catchers...why? there's a hierarchy of "professional" ratcatchers, now? This was never shown. IDK, sometimes I think only a few people in this fandom actually care abt world building.

Me, I felt that it was an unnecessary thing to add bc how how limited they were in run time, the plausibility issue I speak of, and bc how this weird thing is used as a way for the writers to infuse more confusion and an element of dream like chaos into the episode. Which, sure....but then its a weird question of perspective that we're not really supposed to have when this is not a vision, but that's another digression. You could have had him be more sure and knowledgeable, or be as he was and we could have given more space for Helaena, but what do I know, I'm not the author.

He says some stuff about the dog. I liked the dog, too, and yes I wished he had included the dog.

Finally, and most intriguingly, he says this:

The only part of the show that is drawing criticism [from watchers] is the conclusion of the Blood and Cheese storyline.   Which ending was powerful, I thought… a gut punch, especially for viewers who had never read FIRE & BLOOD.   For those who had read the book, however… Well, there’s  a lot of be said about that, but this is not the place for me to say it.   The issues are too complicated.   Somewhere down the line, I will do a separate post about all the issues raised by Blood and Cheese… and Maelor the Missing.  There’s a lot to say.

Hehe.

Like I said above, it appears he has some issues for how they will or won't include Maelor's death AND how Helaena's Sophie's choice--arguably the biggest and most important and plot-defining action she ever took aside from her suicide (that will be used against Rhaenyra later), which only happens bc of this event--was rewritten and handled.

I guess I'll be on the watch out for that new post he's writing AND for his reaction on episode 3.

Welcome to the Shadow of the Eclipse

October 4-31, 2023

Some introductory notes

The “shadow of the eclipse” is a time period lasting from 10 days before the first eclipse, to three days after the final eclipse. It is recommended not to start anything new, or schedule anything important, during these days - as usual I refer everyone to the 1981 wedding of Lady Diana Spencer to the Prince of Wales, as an example.

Of course we live in a place/time which scoffs at letting astrology help with the timing of events - therefore don’t lose hope if something falls unavoidably within the eclipse shadow. Just be prepared.

I wanted to take a more thorough approach to delineation, this time. I hope it’s helpful.

South Node Solar Eclipse

A solar eclipse happens when the New Moon lies close (in the Zodiac) to either the North Lunar Node, or to the South one. It occurred to me to do a little research on whether which Node is involved, makes any difference - and yes, it does.

Astrologers call the South Node “the dragon’s tail” - Steven Forrest calls the South Node, “the dragon’s butt” - because here we are “pooping out” what we don’t need and can’t use. (One person’s poop, however, is another person’s fertilizer.)

Eclipses conjunct the South Lunar Node, like the October 14 one, have an outflowing (outpooping?) of energy. They tend to feature external events which we have to “rise up to.”

If you’d like to note how these have affected you in the past (always a good idea to check “what happened last time”), here is a list of the previous South Node solar eclipses in this century:

December 14, 2001, 22°56’ Sagittarius

December 4, 2002, 11°58’ Sagittarius

November 23, 2003, 1°14’ Sagittarius

October 14, 2004, 21°06’ Libra

October 3, 2005, 10°19’ Libra

September 22, 2006, 29°20’ Virgo

September 11, 2007, 18°25’ Virgo

August 1, 2008, 9°32’ Leo

July 22, 2009, 29°27’ Cancer

July 11, 2010, 19°24’ Cancer

June 1, 2011, 11°02’ Gemini

July 1, 2011, 9°12’ Cancer

May 20, 2012, 0°21’ Gemini

May 10, 2013, 19°31’ Taurus

April 29, 2014, 8°52’ Taurus

March 20, 2015, 29°27’ Pisces

March 9, 2016, 18°56’ Pisces

February 26, 2017, 8°12’ Pisces

February 15, 2018, 27°08’ Aquarius

January 6, 2019, 15°25’ Capricorn

December 26, 2019, 4°07’ Capricorn

December 14, 2020, 23°08’ Sagittarius

December 4, 2021, 12°22’ Sagittarius

October 25, 2022, 2°00’ Scorpio

October 14, 2023, 21°08’ Libra

Going down that list was a very uncomfortable trip down memory lane for me. When those South Node eclipses affected me, it was generally a harbinger of some difficult “external event” which I had little to no control over - which is not the same thing as saying “it wasn’t my fault.” I brought some of it on myself due to bad decisions. Some karma chickens coming home to roost, in other words. Not all of them were dire, though. One in particular gave me something of a respite from what had been happening in my life - it was conjunct my natal 12th House cusp.

Saros Series “7 South”

This eclipse is part of Saros Series “7 South.” Bernadette Brady writes,

The individual experiencing this series will find that huge obstacles will suddenly and easily clear or, on the negative side, a pending potential crisis will suddenly manifest and move through his or her life very rapidly. Either way the individual will feel that everything is moving at great speed. (The Eagle and the Lark)

Previous Saros “7 South” eclipses in Ms M’s lifetime:

September 11, 1969, 18°53’ Virgo

September 23, 1987, 29°34’ Virgo

October 3, 2005, 10°19’ Libra

Not quite as depressing for me personally.

Whatever Shall We Do?

1) Determine which of your natal houses this eclipse falls in.

2) Determine whether the eclipse makes an aspect to anything in your chart. Use a 1° orb. In my case, the conjunctions, squares, sesquiquads (135°), inconjuncts, and oppositions made the most obvious impacts.

3) If there is a close aspect to a planet, check to see which house(s) that planet rules. One South Node eclipse was conjunct the ruler of my natal 4th House, and I moved three months later.

4) Avoid strenuously negative thoughts. If you put a lot of energy into anticipating that something is going to be horrible and painful and disastrous, well, guess what - that’s exactly what’s going to happen. If you catch yourself falling into a panic, try to refocus the energy into “the best possible outcome.”

🚨🚨CASTING NEWS🚨🚨

Greame McKnight has been cast as 'Paxter Strong' in House of the Dragon season 2.

There is no character named Paxter Strong in George R.R. Martin’s Fire and Blood, so he’s rather a show invention. Or perhaps more likely one of Simon Strong‘s (Simon Russell Beale) grandsons, who were never given names in the books. Thus, half an invention, half based on the books.

He will be Alys Rivers, Larys Strong and the late Harwin Strong's cousin.

Mouse House shuffle-up...

Nothing animation-related for the time being, at least an animated movie as we typically know it.

Live-action LILO & STITCH with an animated Stitch has now taken the 5/23/2025 slot Disney had on their calendar for a little while. Funnily enough, as pointed out by my critic pal Mr. Coat... This opens the same day as MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE 8. LILO & STITCH, the original animated classic, opened the same day as the Tom Cruise-starring MINORITY REPORT. Hah!

It also shares the month with THUNDERBOLTS*. Sometimes that near-Memorial Day weekend does Disney wonders, like with ALADDIN Remake and MALEFICENT, and sometimes it does not: SOLO and TOMORROWLAND would like a word.

This also puts it mere weeks before Universal's live-action HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON movie, should that stay in place, the same weekend as Pixar's ELIO. Chris Sanders and Dean DeBlois directed LILO & STITCH and the first HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON together, DeBlois went on to direct the next two HTTYD films and this remake... So we have live-action takes on stories that are within the Sanders/DeBlois wheelhouse... I still think, however, that either DRAGON or ELIO evacuates June... I'm thinking it'll be DRAGON Live-Action. Pixar usually doesn't give up their prime summer slot.

Elsewhere, FREAKIER FRIDAY takes the 8/8/2025 slot.

So now, our 2025 Disney slate looks like:

02/14/2025 - CAPTAIN AMERICA: BRAVE NEW WORLD (Marvel)

03/21/2025 - SNOW WHITE (Disney)

04/11/2025 - THE AMATEUR (20th)

05/02/2025 - THUNDERBOLTS* (Marvel)

05/23/2025 - LILO & STITCH (Disney)

06/13/2025 - ELIO (Pixar)

07/25/2025 - THE FANTASTIC 4: FIRST STEPS (Marvel)

08/08/2025 - FREAKIER FRIDAY (Disney)

09/12/2025 - Undetermined

10/10/2025 - TRON: ARES (Disney)

11/07/2025 - BLADE (Marvel)

11/26/2025 - ZOOTOPIA 2 (WDAS)

12/19/2025 - AVATAR: FIRE AND ASH (20th)

I still think BLADE is moving, as it seems like no movement has been made on it whatsoever. They can't ANT-MAN this at last minute, I reckon... I wouldn't be surprised if FIRST STEPS boots it out of November, *or* Disney uses November for a 20th/Searchlight possible awards darling. Andrew Stanton's live-action sci-fi IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE remains slot-less. As does a film called ELLA MCCAY, and a few other assorted titles...

We shall see...
