I just don’t like the writing of her being so stupid (walking around in broad daylight) and getting stabbed so many times if she was just going to miraculously recover and beat the Waif one-on-one. Since the end was going to be a sword fight in the dark that she wins, then a) her waltzing around seemed out of

I’m not sure it’s great writing to set up a character as acting really unusually brash (after having established them as in careful hiding the week before) to the extent of seemingly making themselves into a target and then having the only pay off being to drag the story out an extra week with an overlong (and frankly

I’d argue that the reason people came up with crackpot theories in this particular instance is due to the fact that the alternative is a sloppy plot-armor-ridden and inconsistent characterization of Arya. No one wanted to believe it was due to fanfic level writing.

“When the writers go off book, the gods toss a coin in the air and the world holds its breath to see how it will land. Will it be Dorne or Hardhome?”

Me all this week: God I can’t wait to find out what the deal was with Arya, was she really Arya? Was it Jaquen testing the Waif? Was Arya actually laying a trap? Syrio Forel somehow (it is the season of ressurections!)? Whatever it is it’ll be great.

I was pissed at this episode. I know there were a lot of tinfoil hat theories going around about whether or not the Waif had really stabbed Arya (or a bag of pig blood or even Jaqen wearing Arya’s face) and it turned out that yes, the Waif had stabbed Arya in what seems like either a trap that backfired or

The Arya storyline ended up being incredibly stupid.

I didn’t really like the theories that Arya wasn’t Arya, but I liked them better than the alternative - that Arya had been handed the idiot ball in order to advance the plot. That plus the very visible plot armor is extremely poor writing, and I’m pretty disappointed.

Me: Damn babe, the Waif is like the damn T-2000!

I have found that most people who are easily bored are usually quite boring.

“Sir, you can’t sleep out in this lot again tonight, move along.”

Come on Patrick everyone knows this was the defining pic of the Vancouver riots:

“Hey! What are you doing!? Let go of me!”

Hey! He was a TALL 12 year old, okay? And he was openly carrying what looked like a real gun which obviously indicates illegal activity and danger!

Can’t wait for his college lecture series: “guys, it’s not worth it. If you’re going to rape an unconscious girl, make sure you take her into a room with a good solid lock on it. Out back next to the dumpster is JUST TOO RISKY. Even if you can swim real fast.”

He’s sick and absolutely will re-offend. He’s exactly the kind of person prisons were built for.

2016 America: Where a 12-year old boy is shot and killed by the police for playing with a toy and it’s his fault because he should have “known” that people would see him as a threat, while a full-grown adult who rapes an unconscious woman and tries to flee should only have to endure a couple months of jail because

I would eliminate automatic first downs for defensive contact fouls. I mean, I get why the NFL does it, but it so unnecessarily stacks the deck in favor of offenses that it makes the game hard(er) to watch.

Plastic and styrofoam thrown straight into the trash at every fast food restaurant is vastly, vastly more wasteful than this small percentage of people who use K cups.

While I despise those machines, landfill space is a poor argument to make for this, or pretty much any other recycling effort. The amount of empty space in this country is almost inconceivably huge. we could bury the whole world’s trash, for a thousand years, in a landfill the size of a big city/small county. Like, if
