I rewatched the scene with the ghosts. The ghosts started chasing the group right after this barrier thing has been set up. So basically it works like a demon trap, the ghosts who are trapped aren‘t able to use their powers anymore, and can‘t teleport anymore.
Otherwise it wouldn‘t even make any sense to set up that barrier, because if the ghosts would still be able to use their powers, then they would also be able to teleport out of the trap.
But demons in a circle of Solomon can use their powers. I refer you “Sin City,” where the demons cracks the circle from inside. She couldn’t teleport out but she could still use other powers. There’s nothing in the episode that in anyway indicates that they could not teleport around while inside the town. If that’s what they wanted us to know, then they needed to indicate it. It’s not as if they abhor exposition normally, is it?
We should not have to write the episodes for them or come up with exclamations that it’s their obligation to give us.

Yes, please let Emily Swallow write the rest of the season! At least SHE'D treat Dean like he deserves. And she also perfectly expressed my confusion/fury over Chuck randomly ruining the creation that he'd defended and betrayed her for.
One of us! One of us!
Yep. She totally recognizes Dean as a Virile Manifestation of the Divine! 😉

Ahrtee, I was thinking about the same commercial! Very funny, up to and including the last line, “Let’s hide in the cemetery.” 😄
About the episode: there is something to be said for low expectations. It ended up not being as bad as I feared it would be. I realize that this is “damning with faint praise,“ but I suspect that this is about as as good as my praise is going to get this season. Unfortunately.
I agree that they ”chase” scene was ridiculous. I understand that for a number of years now the show has been “LOLcanon” but this was violating canon they’d just shown us earlier in the episode, that is, that the ghosts, even having taken bodies, can still teleport (Or, as some posters have noticed, apparate). Why, then, would ghosts who were clearly not wearing Olympic sprinters decide to turn it into a foot race?
IMO, No one came off looking good in that race, including Sam. It was just filmed so weirdly that it verged on looking like a Benny Hill episode!
Count me in as someone who would much prefer to have Demon!Jack over Nougat!Jack, a character that in his entire time on the show has failed to acquire any actual character (or characterization) and who has remained boring and one-note, and who has not shown any growth.
As for who is Demon!Jack really, I am, despite my history of being wrong 99.99% of the time, leaning towards Alastair. DJ said that he really hadn’t wanted to leave Hell, that he enjoyed his work torturing demons. This is exactly what Alastair said. He liked and admired his skills at the rack. And he had a sense of humor. Gets my vote!

I have never had a problem with embedded links on this site, seems very random when and who they don't work for.Thanks! I’ll look him up.

When this opens on my phone, I just get the video against another white black background. I don’t get the name of the person who made the video the “channel” it’s on or anything like that. Can someone please tell me who this guy is, so that I can look up other reviews he’s done?
Thanks

I agree, everybody should be responsible for his actions, and Jack's actions got him killed in the end.
How? He wasn’t taken out by God because of anything he did; Chuck wasn’t punishing him for his sins or selfishness. Chuck seemed more interested in manipulating the brothers, especially Dean. He certainly wasn’t afraid of Jack, since he disposed of the latter very easily.
And apparently, he’s going to be forgiven pretty quickly next year.

This is not how it works. What do S/D/C's actions have to do with Jack's own actions? A person needs to be judged on their own merit, not by comparison with others. Because comparison is nothing but an excuse. Jack has done his fair share of crap that needs to be addressed and dealt with instead of swept under the rug. And the blame should not be placed on someone else or excused with age or inexperience.
Can I like this 3,000?
Jack has not learned anything since he’s been on the show nor has he really tried to. But he’s been given a free pass for everything, so there’s really been no incentive for him to learn or mature.
Nothing Dabb has said so far about season 15 gives me any hope that the character will improve in any way either

I saw a tweet that attributed Jensen with saying that s15 was "Badass".
I hope that he's talking about his own character and I want to think that he is.
But frankly, I'm still concerned about the ending of it all.🤨
Just because the showrunner basically said “If you thought GOT’s ending was bad, wait ‘til you see this!”? I can’t imagine why that would concern anyone. [/sarcasm] 🙄🤬

and I very willingly give him a pass because that desire to always see the good in everyone is one of the things I love most about Sam
Unless their name is Benny. Or they’re Dean’s daughter. Or...

I'm more bothered about the fact that we saw him when nobody else was around and he was having a headache and he was drunk.
Not to mention, he called a brothel for $20,000 (I think the figure was) of prostitutes, when there was no one there to hear it except the audience. Really, Dabb?

It's kind of odd how candid they are obviously allowed to be. I mean, Jensen didn't go into super-specifics but Jared named several very specific scenarios he didn't like and didn't want and then "without giving anything away..." that he loves the ending.
Obviously, the producers didn't okay them giving the ending away ad verbatim but do they seriously think people are too stupid to extrapolate? If someone told me they, out of numbers 1-5, they hated the numbers 1, 2, 3 and 5 and then said "without giving anything away" they loved the number that was picked? It takes the IQ of broccoli to figure it out.
I’m not reading the interviews so could someone be kind enough to set out what JP indicated were endings he wouldn’t like? Thanks!

I’m voting for the ending for the brothers in Lyra_wing’s “Dust in the Wind.”

. Also, it is a stretch that no one mentioned in that council that Jon was the heir/king because that should have been taken in account.
I know. Especially with Sam's insistence earlier in the season that Jon should be king. All of a sudden (starting in Ep. 4), he's fine with everything and has no interest in telling anyone anything. Yet another dramatic moment/possible story thread that went nowhere.

Jon - I think he got a great ending for him. There's totally no "NightWatch" anymore. He's off to bed some nice wilding woman and make broody children.
I don't know about the broody part. I saw a definite hint of a smile on his face as he rode away from the empty CB and into the wilderness. 😉

1) Who knows what might happen some day? The evil north of the Wall has been beaten in the past and yet returned.
2) Viseron only blew a hole in it near Eastport. The vast majority of the wall is fine.
3) The NW will be (as, let's face it -- it pretty much was a lot of the time) a penal colony and a place to ship off troublesome members of the family.1. That's because previously the NK was defeated and/or retreated back to the Land of Always Winter when the real Long Night, the one in Essos in which Azor Ahai was involved, ended. He was not killed, as he was here. (We saw in the flashback that the current NK is same person the CoTF turned--or there was no point to that flashback.)
2. The majority of the Wall is standing, but the majority of the castles have deteriorated.
3. Yeah, it was used as an alternative to more severe punishments--by the now-six kingdoms. Now it's the northern border of a very large and totally independent kingdom that has no reason or intention of taking the South's rejects.
The Wall is now, at best, the border between the North and the real North.

They've established a system where a king (or queen) is appointed by the ruling families - not inherited by birthright.
Who get their power by--wait for it--birthright. And with no intention of sharing that power with the smallfolk or expanding the circle. And if you don't think that when Bran finally gets a motorized wheelchair and zooms back off to live in a weirwood tree house ("No Gɹils Allowed") there won't be a power struggle that will end up with another version of a monarchy, I have a great bridge to sell you.

Although not a full democracy, they are heading that way. More of a Parliamentary style government with the Lords/Ladies choosing the King/Queen which I would imagine would eventually include more and more people in the decision making process.
I have to respectfully disagree. They aren't remotely headed toward a democracy. They've always had a small council. And since Bran will probably be mostly hands-off, it's really an oligarchy.
And that's Newton's Fourth Law; "An oligarchy stays an oligarchy unless acted upon by an outside force storming the Bastille."

I don't think so. That's why we had the shot of his turning around and watching the gate close. There still is no Nights Watch. I think the two men with Jon were there to pacify Greyworm, who probably wanted to know if Jon definitely went there.
I don't think Tyrion ever believe Jon would stay at the totally empty Castle Black. I also think he (or Bran) sent word to Tormund. Because there was no reason for the Free Folk to be at CB. They didn't need it, or want to live there, before the NK, and they have no reason to want it now.
That's why we had a hint of a smile on Jon's face at the end. He was finally free.

So Jon was sentenced to the Nightswatch but got to go free to the North?
Because there is no Nights Watch. There's nothing to guard against anymore.

Worse, even though Dany correctly pointed out to Jon that Sansa betrayed him she will get away with it because she was "right" about Dany. Doesn't matter that he should no longer trust her....what she did set some of this in motion. With 80 minutes and having to kill Dany, crown Bran, and whatever other craziness is going on they won't have time to discuss her
I agree about Sansa, but it wouldn't matter how much time they had: D&D absolutely lo-v-e Sansa, so she will get everything she wanted despite the sheer stupidity of her behavior on any number of occasions, and the fact that she betrayed a member of her family more than once, as well as all the wildlings who died because she wanted to be Queen of the May.
That's a big factor in my dissatisfaction with what I've read about the ending. D&D appear to have dumped the entire NK/WW story, all the prophecies, the whole history that went into the elements of that story (including Rhaegar's obsession with it)--and with it, marginalized Jon--to make the political squabbling over power the be all and end all of the show. Which is exactly the opposite of the point that Martin appears to be making: that the political intrigue is stupid and useless when an Apocalypse is brewing. It seems, tho, that D&D never liked the supernatural elements at all; only the intrigue appealed to them.
Based on the spoilers (and the eps to date this season), this was the wrong story for them to get involved in.
I wonder if Sansa will even care that her entire family will now scatter and leave her alone. I also wonder if anyone will consider her behavior treacherous and will avoid allying with her. If there were any justice, that would be the case.

Yep, I remember that session in 2011; a friend and I had won seats in the auction. He was so nervous; it was adorable. 😀😍
I especially loved their version of “Hallelujah.”
(I also remember Jensen saying that when it was first suggested that he and Jason Mann do this, he said he couldn’t figure out why anybody would pay any money to attend it – – oh, Jensen, that’s so cute! 😍😉—and when he saw the auction bids rising, he rushed for the phone and called JM and basically said, “We’re in trouble!” 😄)
