It's a great tribute to the actor—that he inspires so much hate. And he is one of the most interesting characters on the series—a very Machiavellian type character that's always fascinating to watch.

Damn—and I found the entire scene between Greyworm and his lady love very tender and loving. Where else in this series can you find this?

And Jon will have a Tyrion and Varys once he joins up with Dany, which I believe he will.

That so right—no comedy—just painful and encouraging us to identify with Jorah. And I believe we're encouraged because Jorah will play a part in Dany's war efforts (and victory I hope).

More likes to those who don't make unwarrented assumptions about others and take on a superior tone. I remember what I learned in college about the word Assume. It makes an ass out of you and me. Ass-u-me.

Wow—thank you! What you've written is so excellent, it makes me want to read the books. You've gained so much depth of understanding the series by having done so.

HAHAHA. Thanks, I needed a good laugh this morning. Yes, they're evil but why directed at humans is the question. Seems strange that major war efforts are being planned and no one really knows what the White Walkers' motives are for an attack.

Yes, thank you. This coincides with what I read on GoT Wiki, when I tried to find the reason there. When you say, "we don't know if they are weapons that rebelled…", makes sense. We simply have not been given that information…yet. Thanks again for confirming this, as I was so certain I had missed hearing the

I haven't read the books, sorry to say. But can someone tell me why the White Walkers want to destroy humans? Maybe this was answered early on in S1, but I don't seem to remember what was said about that.

Thank you! That makes sense—what a thoughtful response and I appreciate it. There's something about him that haunts me as well.

So the original statement made by someone was that, as people grow older, they become more bigoted, stereotyping and hateful. I was arguing the case that it depends on the education that folks have had (not necessarily college—could be self-education) that makes the difference and not merely age. All of the educated

I'm not at all familiar with the comics, or source material that Preacher is based on. I just have no idea what this character contributes to the series. What is this character supposed to represent—what idea—what's the point? Makes absolutely no sense to me.

Well, the elements of this discussion were never professed to be scientific. Indeed, it was clearly stated as experiential or anecdotal. However the stats I volunteered were based on study:
Trump’s margin among whites without a college degree is the largest among any candidate in exit polls since 1980. Two-thirds

Yes, and I've also noticed this, particularly in older white males, as you say. But they don't typically have college or graduate level educations. Higher education encourages a desire to understand issues at a deeper level, and really this becomes a lifelong habit. I think the stats from the Trump election will

I wish I could understand why the character, Eugene, exists at all. He just seems like an empty, shallow kid to me who contributes nothing to the overall story.

This comment only serves to add fuel to the stereotypes in our culture about older folks. Having been raised in a racist environment, influences like college, graduate school, relationships with people from other races and cultures, and experiences in life, definitely reverses earlier racist attitudes. And from my

So true. The only comfort I get is being involved in the Resistance and Bernie's Revolution. Oh, and incredible relief from Real Time with Bill Maher on HBO—the only show that makes me LOL at Dump! Hope you watch.

The Vox link is excellent, as was the one on Mercer. Mercer's statements leave you almost speechless, as Burgle was after hearing them from Varga. But no surprise of his close ties to the Orange sphincter. Again, this worldview is terrifying, to say the least. Having said that. MSNBC continues to report tonight

It resonates so deeply with me that the "world isn't what you thought it was". First really huge realization was that so many could vote for, what they observed in campaign rallies, a truly vicious man. Still can't believe this. And then the continued support of a sexual predator who is vulgar and moronic. Gasp.
