II don't know why I didn't put CD in my first post, I had a prediction for it written down for Baumers game. And I'm not sure if this should be counted since it is so far past the normal deadline, but its your call KayuChernobyl Diaries - 7.63
But how does keeping the ranking really change anything. If it was announced in April that GI Joe wasn't coming out, wouldn't most people have just shifted their rankings up one anyway? How many drastic changes would people have made in the order of their top 12s if we knew about this earlier? I can't see too many people being upset about reordering the top 12 because they originally had a film like SWATH at #8 and don't want it to move up now that Joe is gone. But maybe that is just me.
I think going with a top 11 is the best option. The whole point of the top 12 is to test early predictions so I don't think we should get to revise anything after we've had another month of buzz and current trends.
But it wasn't listed as horror at the deadline, which is what matters, so you need to hope Abe Lincoln breaks out if you don't want to lose points. I'm glad I abstained
I haven't had a problem with most of the changes they've made from the books, but I think some of the changes to Jon's story are going to cause problems later on. It seems like they just cut all the parts with Halfhand out, so I'm not sure how they are going to justify some of Jon' s upcoming decisions without really changing his character
I forgot how long it takes to answer all those preseason questions, but I finally got them done. Hopefully I don't have a repeat of last summer and manage to play every week this year.

SOTM 1
Prometheus, 10 days, 152
I really liked the scenes they added this week. Like people have already said, the new Margery and Arya scenes really help deepen their characters. I also thought the scene where Theon confronts his father for giving him away was well done
