![]() ![]() There’s no denying, though, the fun of seeing those dragons descending on the dead. The dragons, or the undead fire-wielding uncle, will always show up at exactly the right moment. The fuzziness with time just adds to the impression that this is a story driven by coincidence and expedience rather than logic. Still, it was hard to avoid a sense of whiplash when Gendry ran to send a raven and Dany flew her dragons north of the Wall within the space of a few minutes of screentime. Some pace-quickening is understandable, given how much story there is to get through. Like: Might not the wights build a bridge of bodies a la ants crossing water or World War Z’s undead scaling a wall? And didn’t any of them have projectiles-rocks, big chunks of ice, skulls, spears capable of killing dragons?Īlso: How long were our guys shivering on that island, anyway? Plenty has already been written about how Thrones has lately become more liberal in its use of the fast-forward button when it comes to travel. But the execution of this inherently far-fetched set-up forced some nagging, distracting questions as the action unfolded. In any case, the conceit of having the living end up besieged by the dead on an island in the middle of a lake was intriguing-a way to make this episode’s violent climax different from all the previous ones. It’s not like we need reminding of how cold it is out there. ![]() I’m curious why, though, the writers decided to have Thoros survive his initial wounds only to freeze later. (Well, him and the various expendable footmen who went strangely unacknowledged by any of the dialogue.) The fatal encounter with the rotted bear made for one of the spooky highlights of the night, easing both viewers and characters into the land of the dead. Nothing says a character is about to die in battle like them planning for a happy future.įortunately for Tormund fans, and sadly for Brotherhood Without Banners fans if such people exist, the sacrificial soldier of the group turned out to be Thoros. But when he spoke of making big babies with Brienne, I got worried. Tormund-dispensing advice about surviving both the cold and lack of mating material-was the star entertainer of the road trip. The scenes of chitchat between Jon, Gendry, Tormund, Thoros, Beric, Sandor, and Jorah felt like a remedial refresher on the backstories of some characters who’ve been out of the spotlight for some time. This was an extra-long episode, but it’s worth noting that it wouldn’t have been so extra-long with all the exposition foisted upon the snowy expedition. Like the Northern Lords that Sansa fretted about to Littlefinger, Khaleesi has become a weathervane. But the way she pings between trusting Tyrion’s cleverness and then questioning his motives before flying off to use her dragons to kill feels more determined by the needs of the overarching plot than anything we’ve come to understand about Dany herself. But if she really thought Jon’s mission was stupid, why did she sign off on it in the first place? We get it, she’s inwardly conflicted. Would-be heroes are always going off and doing stupid things, complained Dany (can I still call her that?). The show did try to acknowledge the insanity of the mission in the scene between Daenerys and Tyrion, the season’s umpteenth dissection of the tension between waging war with brutal effectiveness or righteous care. If Cersei’s going to cease hostilities with Daenerys, it’ll only be so she can stab her in the back, not because she’s been impressed by a screechy corpse in a bag. So should Tyrion and Jon, the architects of the plan. But by now, viewers know better than to expect a smidge of concern for the greater good from her. The plan to go grab a zombie and present it to Cersei relies on the notion that Cersei might well be persuaded to band with her enemies to fight a common foe. It didn’t help that the premise of the night’s big plot line was built on a foundation brittler than a frozen lake. bagged: trapped, disoriented, and frequently screaming in frustration. To be sure, the cinematography and effects did deliver the goods we’ve come to expect from the previous blow-outs like “Blackwater” and “Battle of the Bastards.” But sitting through the episode, it was hard not to relate to the wight that Jon & co. You could feel the strain throughout “Beyond the Wall,” this season’s battle-heavy blockbuster. But Benioff and Weiss’s emphasis on building the show primarily for payoffs is taking a toll on the quality of Game of Thrones in general-consistent logic seems to drive the action less than it once did. ![]()

![]() ![]() Influenced by New York animator Paul Terry’s spoofs of Aesop’s Fables, which had premiered in June 1920, Disney decided not only to parody fairy-tale classics but also to modernize them by having them playing off recent events. With the help of high school student Rudy Ising, who later cofounded the Warner Brothers and MGM cartoon studios, and other local would-be cartoonists, Disney worked for six months putting together his first fairy tale cartoon. ![]() Little Red Riding Hood is a Jazz Age pastiche featuring a wolfish city slicker who drives a magic car, a grandma off to see the movies, and a hero who rescues his sweetheart from a wing-flapping airplane. It is very much a beginner’s effort-simple sketches of characters posed in front of minimal backgrounds, the animation derived from the slash-and-tear technique Disney was learning from Edwin Lutz’s classic animation textbook, the Paul Terry Aesop’s Fables, and John Bray’s Krazy Kat cartoons he and his friends cadged from a local film exchange. Working at first out of his garage, Disney improvised even with his equipment. His Universal camera was mounted on a stand made by stretching a plank across four-by-fours.ĭisney made six more Laugh-O-grams in Kansas City, which all survive, thanks to the remarkable detective work of animation collectors and historians working in collaboration with the Walt Disney Archives, the Museum of Modern Art, and the Library of Congress. Simple and naïve, they also indicate a remarkable progression. Most apparent are the rapid advances Disney and his growing gang of collaborators were making from one cartoon to another in little over a year. In The Four Musicians of Bremen, made directly after Little Red Riding Hood, Disney, no longer content to sketch in a simple, unadorned story line, started creating ingenious gags-like luring jazz-crazy fish out of the water with jiving musical notes-and tried to build on them, creating smooth transitions from one to another. ![]() ![]() Even the cover was pretty and simple, I LOVED how it looked and sounded.

From Dover they crossed the worlds busiest shipping lane at the start of a 5,000km (3,100 miles) journey taking in eight different countries. Denver never thought in a million years he'd ask her out, but who is she to question this miracle of fate? RNLI Asset Sales Manager Adrian Frogley explains how it works: ‘The sale of decommissioned lifeboats is an income stream for the charity, bringing much-needed funds back into the RNLI pot. Why else would she dare to sneak into a Malibu beach party where she'd be surrounded by enemies?
