Cersei Lannister the Night's Queen

One of the promos for the latest season of Game of Thrones has something in it I want to talk about. The icy breath Queen Cersei Lannister breathes at the end might just be a hint of what is to come with her character. It might be a hint that she will become the Night's Queen.

Before all of you start telling me that isn't going to happen, I'm going to agree with you. This theory is insane and probably won't happen. However, it's one that is interesting to me. One of the reasons being that it'll extend Cersei's time on the show.

I admit I can't hate her character if only because Lena Headey is so awesome.

A Quickie: Bryan Fuller has Done it Again (American Gods)

I have been waiting for this show since it was announced. So, yes, before the first trailer aired I was already excited. It has been some time since I've read the book but with Bryan Fuller behind this adaptation, there was reason for excitement.

The premiere episode was...wow...not enough words to describe it. Suffice it to say it took a good full day for me to get my thoughts figured out about it.

I need to re-read the book as there is a bunch I've forgotten. But, for the parts I do remember, I won't be spoiling on this post.

Crossing the Divide 52

"Grey Worm?" I asked.

"Missandei?" He said weakly. "No. Daenerys had her killed."

"Grey Worm, can you stand up? Me and Arya will get you back to camp."

"What does it matter? Missandei is dead!"

The pain and hurt in his face and voice made me shiver. It reminded me of how I had felt when my children had died. There seemed to be no point anymore and yet I had kept moving. I kept going on for reasons I couldn't explain. I had thought Grey Worm dead by Daenerys' hands. It didn't occur to me that she would allow someone with such anger against her to live. Or maybe she had been sane enough to realize that he would be in too much pain to go against her. Because I had assumed the actions she would take, I hadn't thought anything of it when he wasn't in the Dragonpit.

"I know." I replied. "But there is a reason you are still alive. Maybe it's a need of vengeance."

Grey Worm finally relented and allowed himself to be guided back to camp. The dragons breathed their flames twice before we entered the camp. When a few of my men saw me there was a rush to get me into a tent. Lei was in it and stood up to look at the injured man. Her face was in so much sorrow at the sight of him. She had such a kind heart that most of the Lannisters seemed to lack. Even Tyrion didn't have her purity.

Travels of Artictress: Rin of the Alola Region Entry #1 (Moon)

Entry #1: Starting a New Life

My name is Rin and I just arrived in the Alola Region not that long ago. Heck, Mom still hasn't finished unpacking and most of our stuff is still in boxes. Lots of boxes. I'm surprised so many fit inside our small little house.

A Quickie: The Flaws of the Jedi (Star Wars)

The Jedi Order has existed for millennia. For time without end, it seems, they have been the bringers of light to a chaotic universe. When I first watched the movies I saw them as the good guys. There could be problems within the Order but the flaws could always be fixed. Right?

I am not sure where the origins of the Jedi Order are in the new canon and I don't want to accidentally give out some now defunct canon information. It's been awhile since I've kept up with the Expanded Universe (EU) as all the information overwhelmed me. Need to catch up but with my never ending 'to read list'...might be awhile.

So if anything new has been revealed in the EU and I don't mention it, that's why.

Crossing the Divide 51

I heard footsteps that sounded like all the other footsteps except to my bloodsense. With that innate Kaari ability I could easily tell that this woman wasn't a clone. This was the woman I hadn't seen since I had helped Alex escape.

"Alice Abernathy." I said simply as I met her eyes.

There was silence as we both looked at the other. In her mind I was a traitor that had helped one of her biggest enemies escape. In her mind I should be killed for what I had done. She was right that I had committed many sins that I should be punished for. However, I had done my best to right as many of my past wrongs as I could. Even though we were now enemies, I pitied her. It was a cruel joke of the gods that she was but a plaything for them. More so than other humans.

"Rin Isaacs." Alice finally said.

She had drawn out saying Isaacs more than she had to. It was a verbal reminder of how much I had hurt her. When we had met I had gone by the alia Ray Raqus. Starting the Mormonts I had wanted to distance myself from my then estranged husband. I didn't want my recruits to connect me to Umbrella, not right away at least. While some Mormonts had known of my connection to Alex, it wasn't until after I returned with my husband that the truth had quickly become common knowledge.

"We are fighting for the same reasons." I told the woman. "I am fighting to save the world. I am fighting so that humanity can reclaim its rightful place. I am fighting to destroy the Umbrella Corporation."
