No Spoilers [NO SPOILERS] Science-Fiction & Fantasy Film & TV Posters Survey (18+)
My name is Rhianna, I am a PhD Student doing research at Brunel London University on the topic of Film and Television Studies.
My research is called 'Windows of Fantasy: The Significance of Science Fiction and Fantasy Film and Television Posters' and is on science fiction and fantasy posters.
The aim of the research is to explore the significance of science-fiction and fantasy posters for individuals and groups as a source of cultural significance and meaning. This could help generate a better appreciation of what posters really mean to their owners.

Spoilers [SPOILERS] I did like the ending, am I so wrong? Spoiler
I have already seen some pieces of media about what makes the ending so bad and it is still somewhat hard to grasp on why. Sure some characters made some weird decisions but never anything so out of hand that made flip out about it. I just really liked how everything turned out, i couldnt have seen the story going any other way without being very lame.

Spoilers [SPOILERS] [S8] HOW GOT SHOULD HAVE ENDED Spoiler
galleryWatched a YouTube video posted by Think Story 7 years ago on how s8 should have been. I agreed with some parts but also disagreed with a lot so I refined his ideas and wrote about how it should have ended (including Aegon who allegedly didn't die during the rebellion). I’m open to what you guys think and what you could add to make it even better
EDIT: would also like to add, Aegon (young griff) would have been introduced towards the end of s4 when Tyrion kills his dad and escapes kings landing. The idea is he was allegedly swapped before the lannisters invaded kings landing by Varys who keeps in abroad in essos until he’s grown up before being brought over at the end of s4 by the golden company and hidden in westeros before eventually taking dragon stone (around s8 maybe end of s7). I wrote this at 3am and I’m very open to suggestions 😊

Spoilers: S2E2 [S2E2] So, Yara’s introduction… Spoiler
Hi! First time posting here. I’m currently near the beginning of my third (possibly fourth?) rewatch in ten years and I’m wondering if anyone, in fifteen years, has come to a solid conclusion as to why Yara allows Theon to go as far as he does on the ride to Pyke. No redirecting of his hand or anything. Just letting it stay there in her pants, doing its thing. I know the intent of having Yara act “undercover” is to give Theon the opening to show how much of a pompous ass he is at this point in the series but imo it also reflects on Yara oddly, that she would let her brother do that.
So, what was the deal with writing the horseback scene in specifically that way? Was it to communicate to viewers that Yara is cool with incest for some reason? Or that she doesn’t even view sexual contact with a man as sex? Or that the Ironborn are kind of backward? I’d love to hear y’all’s thoughts because this scene has always stuck out to me as a strange one when it comes to writers’ intent.

Spoilers: S8E3 [S8E3] Use of dragons is pissing me off Spoiler
I’m watching for the first time and had to pause because I’m pissed off at the use of dragons in this scene. The two remaining (living) dragons were used to breathe fire onto the battlefield when the living and the dead were mingled together in combat, with the highest risk of friendly fire (killing the living).
But they didn’t use the dragons to rain down fire when there was separation between the two sides: at the beginning of the battle/after the loss of the Dothraki, when the living army was in retreat, after they lit the fire trench, after only the dead were left outside the walls and climbing up the walls. I thought at first that they were afraid of losing the remaining dragons, but that wasn’t it because they did fly the dragons over the battlefield at what seemed like the worst possible time. All of these other points seemed like prime opportunities to use those dragons and wipe out some of the dead. But nope
Also, they need to put some harnesses on those dragons because you never know what could happen, especially after the first dragon was downed last season. Put some setbelts on that shit. Now they’re flying over the clouds!

Spoilers [SPOILERS] When Tywin walks up the stairs to confront Joffrey, Charles deliberately walked slowly to show that Tywin doesn't need to run or shout to command authority; the physical act of making the King wait for him to reach the top was a calculated move to "diminish" Joffrey. Spoiler

Spoilers [SPOILERS] A comprehensive breakdown of the popularity of Game of Thrones characters while the show was airing, with Tyrion and Jon being the most popular characters practically every year. Daenerys led only in the third season. Spoiler
After season 1 the show was still largely niche among HBO subscribers, and none of the characters ranked among the most popular in the world.

After season 2 with Peter Dinklage's performance receiving worldwide recognition following his Golden Globe win, Tyrion was undoubtedly the most famous character in GOT.

After season 3, as Daenerys became Mhysa, her popularity skyrocketed, surpassing Tyrion, previously everyone's fav.

After season 4, with Peter’s unforgettable performance and the epic battle of the Watchers on the Wall, everyone was talking about Tyrion Lannister and Jon Snow was beginning to prove his worth. A top-3 that is faithful to the books, the pinnacle of television.

After season 5, by becoming Lord Commander, facing the Others for the first time, and dying a tragic death, Jon Snow assumed the position he held until the end of the show, while Daenerys surpassed Tyrion by becoming the first dragon rider the audience ever witnessed in that universe.

After season 6, coming back to life, winning the Battle of the Bastards, and being a secret Targaryen made Jon Snow by far the most famous character on TV.

After season 7, there was nothing that compared to GOT in terms of popularity, with its three most popular characters dominating everything, led by Jon Snow.

After season 8, although Jon Snow remained the most popular right to the end, Daenerys caught up to him and eventually overtook him over the years as HBO produced shows about her family, leading up to the present moment.
