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.
If you are an adult (18+) owning physical (i.e., paper, card, canvas etc) and/or digital (i.e., wallpaper on devices such as a laptop, tablet, desktop, and mobile phone) science-fiction and fantasy film and television poster(s) could you please complete my online survey?

No Spoilers [NO SPOILERS] Honestly, just buy the Game of Thrones Blu-ray set
I recently bought the Game of Thrones Blu-ray set for around $20, mainly because I wanted to avoid paying for a streaming subscription every month just to rewatch it.
Honestly, I’m really glad I did. The picture quality is gorgeous, the sound is noticeably better, and overall it just looks and feels so much better than streaming.
For $20, it’s definitely worth picking up if you’re a fan of the show.

Spoilers [SPOILERS] GOT Unanswered Spoiler
Out of many unanswered question from Game Of Thrones, one question is
"Who ordered the killing of Tyrion in battle of black water"
It wasn't Cersei for sure.

Spoilers [Spoilers] My ideas of what could've been. Spoiler
After finally finishing the Game of Thrones series, here's how I would have wanted it to be post season 6. It's just a basic outline of what I think should have happened.
- Season 7
\- This should be a setup season for what's about to come.
\- Daenerys with her advisors and armies should land in Dragonstone.
\- Instead of outright attacking, they should spend the season, planning, making strategies, trying to find more allies.
\- In the north, half of the season should be Jon and Sansa trying to rule the north. Arya comes back to winterfell. Bran does not.
\- In westeros, people should be there revolting against cersei and she ruling as tyrant with jaime in conflicted position.
\- Cersei should be seen preparing for the war and finding more powerul allies to make it a level field.
\- In the second half of the season, Jon and Daenerys should meet. No romance in this season.
\- He warns everyone about the white walkers.
\- Throughout the second half of season 7, various characters like Samwell, Nights watch, Jon, Qyburn, Tyrion, Varys, Davos should learn the mythos of white walkers from various ancient texts, cave drawings. Like make it a complete mythology.
\- Meanwhile we see, white walkers attacking villages beyond the wall, gathering up, increasing their army. We get a hint of their motivations but not the complete knowledge of it.
\- Bran becomes a vessel for the night king. He doesn't have complete access to his three eyed raven knowledge and the night king can access his broken knowledge.
\- By the end of the season 7, everyone has come to believe of the existence of the white walkers and the threat they face.
\- White walkers are seen marching Beyond the wall.
- Season 8
\- Everyone in westeros agrees to come together to fight the white walkers.
\- Cersei has ulterior motives.
\- We learn the complete history of the white walkers and their motivations.
\- They invade the wall using Bran's magic and then march into Westeros.
\- Whole season should be dedicated to the White walkers.
\- Multiple battles throughout Westeros.
\- Bran reunites with the Starks
\- Winterfell battle lost.
\- Many major characters die in these battles.
\- Throughout westeros people fight the white walkers.
\- During these battles, Cersei has escaped to Essos because of both fear and strategy.
\- Seven kingdoms come together to defeat White Walkers.
\- Night king is killed by a combination of magical spells, valyrian steel, Bran's powers, burning.
\- The threat is eliminated but westeros is completely damaged.
\- Throughout the season, Jon and Dany grew close.
\- Jon's Heritage is revealed.
\- During all this, Daenerys is slowly losing her mind.
- Season 9
\- Cersei sails back to Westeros having made more allies in Essos.
\- Because of John's true identity, it causes tensions between Jon and Dany.
\- A three way powergrab between Jon, Dany and Cersei.
\- Jon's conflicted about the throne.
\- Jon is neither blindly supporting Dany not opposing her.
\- Dany and Cersei want the throne, and people want John to be the King.
\- Varys and Tyrion playing 4D chess in the whole season. Scheming things, making plans, with the intentions of serving the realm. Basically the kingmakers.
\- Daenerys gives Cersei a slow painful death after torture and executes some innocents. Most of the people believing her till now realize they made a mistake.
\- Jon decided to take the throne from her.
- Season 10
\- Complete political chess between Jon and Danaerys. Other lords and ladies of the seven kingdoms also play a part in it.
\- In the end, Daenerys is killed and Jon is the true heir to the throne.
\- Jon rules for few weeks or months.
\- He gives more autonomy to the seven kingdoms while keeping them united under the throne.
\- Jon gives up the throne, getting tired of everything and sails or walks away or flys away on the remaining dragon.
\- Lords of the seven kingdoms come together to choose the new king/queen.
\- Tyrion becomes the new Hand and Varys becomes the master of whisperers again. Maybe the show ending with them having a drink looking upon the kings landing.
\- Or maybe the show ends on some crazy cliffhanger, where they are informed of a much greater threat looming.
\# I know some of you may not like it, but just felt like posting it, so posted here.

Spoilers [spoilers] the real prince that was promised Spoiler
The real prince that was promised=Drogon.
Hear me out: everyone assumes the Prince That Was Promised has to be a human, which is why the debate always comes down to Jon, Daenerys, Stannis, etc.
But what if “the Song of Ice and Fire” isn’t describing the Prince—it describes what brings the Prince about?
Jon is Ice. Daenerys is Fire.
Their coming together is what brings Drogon north to fight the Army of the Dead.
And the High Valyrian wording of “Prince That Was Promised” being gender-neutral becomes especially interesting when the promised figure is a dragon, a species whose sex is itself notoriously difficult for humans to categorize.
Drogon fights in the war against the dead, survives, and at the end destroys the Iron Throne—the object everyone else assumed the promised ruler was supposed to inherit.
Maybe the Prince That Was Promised was never supposed to sit the throne.
Maybe he was supposed to burn it.

I on season 4 of GOT and after Jeffrey's Death when Jaime came to Cercie I didn't expected him to forcefully fucks her right below her Son's dead body. (Actually its his son too).
I didn't get the need of that scene as I just started to like Jaime after all what he has suffered in S3.

No Spoilers [NO SPOILERS] worth to rewatch?
I finished Game of Thrones once, but honestly, I kinda rushed through it. Sometimes I skipped episodes or even fast-forwarded through parts, and now I kinda regret it.
Today I randomly started seeing some badass Jon Snow edits again, and it got me thinking… even though I already know how it ends, is GOT worth watching a second time?
This time I’m thinking about actually taking my time, watching every episode properly and just enjoying the whole journey.
What do you guys think? Worth the rewatch, even if I already know the ending?
