Rob Bricken. This week I’ve got a lot of Defenders questions (from one curious reader), a lot more Game of Thrones questions (from many curious readers), and I explain why you should only be slightly worried about the Captain Marvel more right now. Book Learning. Sean P. Stephenson: I’ve been following the HBO version of Go. T since the beginning, and have been toying with reading the books, but I had a multi- part question I feel only you can answer.
When Go. T concludes next year on HBO, do you think GRRM will incorporate any of the premises presented that have been shown on the small screen that he didn’t originally come up with, and do you think he will change anything he had already come up with because of what was already shown, as in “I thought that was a good idea, but having seen it played out, let’s go a different route.”It’s impossible to say. Sorry to defer the question, but George R. R. Martin is still writing The Winds of Winter, and has A Dream of Spring left to go (if not more—I still believe he’s going to end up writing three more books all told before he’s done). What he has planned today may change tomorrow, or next year, or the year after that.
Or the year after that… or the year after that. You see where I’m going with this. At some point, GRRM, David Benioff, and D. B. Weiss sat down to discuss the end of the story, both A Song of Ice and Fire and Game of Thrones. I sincerely doubt he told the showrunners everything he has planned, but there were definitely some story elements just too entrenched into the narrative for the show to skip, e. Hodor’s name. There may be a few others, but unless Weiss and Benioff ’fess up, we won’t know for sure until the books are out.
That said, the show will end up being vastly, vastly different from the books. Part of this is because the show has made its own changes to the narrative over its many years, which can’t help but affect the ending; part of it is because the series is ending in such a condensed timeframe (only this Sunday’s season finale and six more episodes to go!); and part of it is likely Benioff and Weiss’ respect for GRRM, and their desire not to trample on what he has in mind for the books’ ending. But mostly because the books have so many more elements at play than the TV series: the Fake Aegon, Lady Stoneheart, Victarion Greyjoy, Jeyne Poole (whom Ramsay Bolton marries and claims is Arya), and more. Maybe Martin has something planned that the show is doing that, after seeing it, he’ll change his mind about. But we can’t possibly know until he writes it. The Defense Rests.
Jess D.: Dear Postman, I have some Defenders questions. A lot of Defenders questions. Watch War, Inc. Mojoboxoffice. Why is there the remains of a giant dragon underneath New York City? How did the monks of Kun- lun get over to North America to build a door that only the Iron Fist could open?
If the Substance was so dangerous, why not leave the door locked permanently? Or better yet why not destroy it? Why didn’t the Hand just dig around the door? There was a huge cavern down there. Couldn’t they have dug to any other area and gotten in? Why would removing the Substance destroy NYC? If the Hand wanted to get back to Kun- lun, like they said all the time, why did they only seem interested in getting to that underground place that we know wasn’t Kun- lun from Iron Fist?
I can give you answers to all of these, as long as you don’t mind that The Defenders TV series in no way supports or confirms any of them. In ancient times giant dragons roamed the earth, and died like any other creature.
The monks tasked themselves with protecting the Substance left behind by these dragons to prevent evil people from getting ahold of it. They traveled by boats to North America, and then used their mystical powers both to push the bones deep, deep underground and to create a magic shield all the way around the cavern that now housed them, leaving a door as the only access point. The monks did this instead of destroying the Substance, because they could foresee a time when they were so desperate they might need the Substance themselves, and thus made the key the Iron Fist, who would always be a protector of K’un- Lun… until Danny Rand fucked it up. Oh, and then the mystical energies of these dragons subconsciously led humans to build cities on top of them. Although, the Hand clearly got to the Substance under Pompeii and Chernobyl, because they said they destroyed them… hmm… the dragon under New York City was the biggest dragon and had the most substance, which made it the one that most needed to be denied to the Hand, and is why New York City is a much, much more major city than Chernobyl or Pompeii. More dragon, more mystical energy, more Substance, more city. And after so many millennia, the Substance became part of the essence of the Earth itself—mystically—and thus removing would effectively cause a cataclysm in the location it was housed.
As for your last question, it’s because… uh… by sealing the area off, the Monks effectively made it part of K’un- Lun, even though it was thousands of miles from the actual mystical city. So Sigourney Weaver and the rest were speaking metaphorically. Yeah. The Jon Con. W: I feel there hasn’t been enough discussion about the legitimate reveal that Jon is in fact the legitimate son of Rhaegar and the entire dynamic this imposes on Jon- Dany hook up believers.
He is in the direct succession to the iron throne. I honestly cannot see how these two would work if this gets exposed to the whole world. Even if it is after she may or may not get pregnant with a mini incest royalty baby, I cannot visualize a way for the plot to just make this situation okay with Jon. I can realistically see Dany dying after all this simply because Jon will in fact always know nothing. Dany cannot possible just stop her quest for total dominance of Westeros just because Jon gets revealed to be the true heir (at least let’s hope the show writers don’t take the easy way out). It’s not going to get exposed to the whole world.
When Jon finds out—if Jon finds out, he could probably fulfill whatever prophecy Rhaegar heard that made him seek out Lyanna Stark and marry her and throw all of Westeros into civil war without ever knowing—he’s not going to broadcast it. He’ll likely tell Dany, who also won’t tell anybody, for obvious reasons. And Jon will be fine with that, because there is no one who wants to sit on the Iron Throne less than Jon Snow. Also Jon is absolutely not going to live through the series finale. The Lord of Light brought him back for a purpose; when that purpose is fulfilled, he isn’t going to be rewarded with a vacation. That’s not how the world of Westeros works.
The End Is Not Nigh. James M.: Game of Thrones has already surpassed its source material and will possibly finish the entire saga before we even get the penultimate volume in book form. Kingkiller Chronicles is already spinning off televison, movies and video games while we await the concluding volume with bated breath. Stormlight Archive has been greenlit for movie adaptions and realistically the series will not conclude for another 2. We have so many wonderful finished works that remain unadapted. Why are we rushing so much to make film and television of works in progress?
Because TV and movie studios need to make money constantly, and to do that they need to make content. They look for what’s hot right now, not what’s finished.
That’s a problem for later, and it’s for the creators and directors and screenwriters and so forth—not the studios. This is true just about anywhere, to be clear.
Anime does this a fair amount. Fullmetal Alchemist is the biggest example I can think of—it had a TV show long before the manga was finished, and then just made up its own ending, just like Game of Thrones.

Furter, unveiling his new creation, a sort of Frankenstein- style monster in the form of an artificially made, fully grown, physically perfect muscle man named Rocky Horror, complete "with blond hair and a tan".
Produced and directed by Jim Sharman, the original London production of the musical premiered at the Royal Court Theatre (Upstairs) on 1. June 1. 97. 3 (after two previews on 1. June 1. 97. 3) before moving to several other locations in London and closing on 1. September 1. 98. 0, running for a total of 2,9. Evening Standard Theatre Award for Best Musical.
Its 1. 97. 4 debut in the US in Los Angeles had a successful nine- month run but its 1. Broadway debut at the Belasco Theatre lasted only three previews and forty five showings despite earning one Tony nomination and three Drama Desk nominations. Watch Planet Hulk Online Etonline.
Various international productions have since spanned across six continents as well as West End and Broadway revivals and eight UK tours. Actor Tim Curry, who originated the role of Dr Frank N. Furter in the original London production, became particularly associated with the musical. The musical was adapted into the 1. The Rocky Horror Picture Show, starring O'Brien as Riff Raff, with Curry also reprising his role; the film has the longest- running release in film history.

Original programme of the musical from the Theatre Upstairs. As an out- of- work actor in London in the early 1. Richard O'Brien wrote The Rocky Horror Show to keep himself busy on winter evenings.
Since his youth, O'Brien had developed a passion for science fiction and B horror movies; he wanted to combine elements of the unintentional humour of B horror movies, portentous dialogue of schlock- horror, Steve Reeves muscle flicks and fifties rock and roll into The Rocky Horror Show.[2] A major theme running throughout the musical is transvestitism, which according to O'Brien was not originally meant to be as prominent as it would end up being. O'Brien conceived and wrote the play set against the backdrop of the glam era that had manifested itself throughout British popular culture in the 1.
Allowing his concept to come into being, O'Brien states "glam rock allowed me to be myself more".[4]O'Brien took a small amount of his unfinished Rocky Horror to Australian director Jim Sharman, who decided he wanted to direct it at the small experimental space Upstairs at the Royal Court Theatre, Sloane Square, Chelsea, London, which was used as a project space for new work.[5] Sharman had received considerable local acclaim as the director of the original Australian productions of Hair and Jesus Christ Superstar. He went to London to direct the first British stage production of Superstar, during which he met O'Brien, who had played King Herod for just one performance. Sharman brought in fellow Australians Nell Campbell and long- time scenic designer partner Brian Thomson to the production. Star Tim Curry recalled his first encounter with the script: I'd heard about the play because I lived on Paddington Street, off Baker Street, and there was an old gym a few doors away. I saw Richard O'Brien in the street, and he said he'd just been to the gym to see if he could find a muscleman who could sing. I said, "Why do you need him to sing?" [laughs] And he told me that his musical was going to be done, and I should talk to Jim Sharman. He gave me the script, and I thought, "Boy, if this works, it's going to be a smash."[6]The original creative team was then rounded out by costume designer Sue Blane and musical director Richard Hartley, although Pete Moss would later take over as musical director.
Michael White was also brought in to produce Rocky Horror. As the musical went into rehearsal, the working title for it became They Came from Denton High, but it was changed just before previews at the suggestion of Sharman to The Rocky Horror Show.[5][7]After two previews, the show premiered – without an interval – at the Royal Court's 6.
Theatre Upstairs on 1. June 1. 97. 3 and ran until 2. July 1. 97. 3. The cast included Tim Curry, who had decided that Dr Frank N. Furter shouldn't just be a queen, he should speak like the Queen of England, extravagantly posh,[4]Patricia Quinn, Nell Campbell (billed as Little Nell), Julie Covington, and O'Brien, who made the production, which was all- out camp, a creative triumph and a critical and commercial success.[8] Record producer Jonathan King saw it on the second night and signed the cast to make the original cast recording over a long weekend that was rushed out on his UK Records label. King was involved heavily in the initial promotion for the show as well as being the minority backer of it financially with White having a majority share. The impact at the Royal Court Upstairs allowed the production be transferred to the 2.

At the new venue, Rocky Horror required some restaging as it was the first theatre that the musical had played at with a traditional proscenium arch stage. For the first time, the musical was also broken into two acts with an interval. It finished its run there on 1. September 1. 98. 0. Synopsis[edit]The Usherette, sometimes referred to as "Trixie", who works in a derelict cinema, introduces tonight's "film" in a song ("Science Fiction/Double Feature"), with masked Phantoms providing the backing vocals. After attending the wedding of his best friend since high school (Ralph Hapschatt, now married to Janet Weiss' friend Betty Munroe), Brad Majors confesses his love to Janet Weiss ("Dammit Janet") and the two become engaged.
The Narrator appears and explains that Brad and Janet are leaving Denton to visit Dr Everett Scott, their former science tutor, while driving into a rainstorm. During the trip, their car has a flat tire and they are forced to walk through the rain to seek a telephone in an old castle ("There's A Light"). The Narrator explains that Brad and Janet are feeling "apprehensive and uneasy," but must accept any help that they are offered. As Brad and Janet arrive, Riff Raff, the hunchbacked handyman and live- in butler, greets them, and his sister Magenta, the maid, appears. Riff Raff, Magenta and Columbia (a groupie) speak briefly of an unlucky delivery boy named Eddie who fell victim to unfortunate circumstances because he botched a delivery, before performing the show's signature dance number ("The Time Warp"*).
Brad and Janet try to leave at this point, but are stopped when Dr Frank N. Furter, a pansexual, cross- dressingmad scientist, arrives. He introduces himself as "a sweet transvestite from Transsexual, Transylvania" and invites Brad and Janet up to his laboratory ("Sweet Transvestite"). As he goes up, Brad and Janet are stripped to their underwear to dry off. Brad and Janet enter the laboratory, where Frank N. Furter gives them laboratory coats to wear. Frank announces that he has discovered the secret to life itself.
He unveils his creation, a blond, well- built man named Rocky Horror, who is brought to life.
