I am so pumped for this. Mahnke lives a town over (we both live in towns that used to be part of Salem, MA), and he does so many great local stories. The animation looks beautiful so far too.

What I feel separates Lore from other paranormal/strange history non-fiction is how very little speculation Mahnke does. The show is basically “a bunch of people saw some extremely weird shit go down and we don’t know what happened and we probably never will due to there not being enough evidence or said people being…

MICHELLE WOULD HAVE WORN SNEAKERS. Or a flat or duck boots or anything else a normal person would wear. GOD I hope 45 has a heart attack on top of her in bed and she’s trapped for several hours.

Dressed for tragedy! Fuck-me pumps and Chinese gimme caps.

The lords of the North named him King because he has Stark blood, but mostly because he took back Winterfel. So when they are find out that he has legitimate Stark blood and is about to marry (most likely) a queen with dragons they are going to be angry why? The Lannisters have done more to injure the Starks in a few…

Okay, I need to vent about the Arya/Sansa/Littlefinger plot.

So Rhaegar Targaryen dumped his wife and left her and their kids for a 15(?) year old, started a civil war and named his second son Aegon just like his first? Dude’s a real for father/husband of the year material, isn’t he.

I share your frustration. I hought it was cheap that one ice dragon could bring the Wall down so easily. It underscored how Jon’s mission beyond the Wall was contrived to conveniently give the White Walkers exactly what they needed. I mean, what was their plan before they got the dragon. Were they just going to knock?

So you are perfectly cool with something this is as big and as heavy as a sperm whale wearing steel armor yet is nimble enough to hover like a hummingbird, spew fire from its stomach without burning itself that was born when a petrified egg was placed in a bonfire with a woman who apparently can’t be burned. You are…

“The magic creature that breathes magic fire, that died and was dragged out of the water by chains from nowhere, that was reanimated by the ice zombie commander was all fine, but lost me when it used it’s magic fire breath to take down a magic wall to allow the zombie army through.”

My son loves this show and we watch it together. that song has been stuck in my head since I first heard it and my son and I will sing it at random moments where we are together.

When you realized that had the Dragons not gone north of the wall, the White Walkers and their dead would never have made it past the wall, you were like... ?

It wasn’t ice. It wasn’t fire. It was magic. The wall was raised by magic. The Night King was created by magic. Dragons are a product of magic. Magic raised the wall, and magic razed the wall.

Odds on a wight baby clawing out of her dead body?

Someone else can correct me, but I do think Theon/Reek only lost the twig. He’s clearly still got his berries.

It’s also really convenient that the guy that hasn’t had any type of real conversation with anyone all season decides to have a pow-wow with Sam, the ONE GUY IN ALL OF WESTEROS that would be able to point out that Jon isn’t actually a bastard. How convenient for the plot!!!

After Teen Titans Go! originally aired the song, I was playing it for everyone I know. That was the first (and undoubtedly the last) time I’ve been ahead of the curve on anything.

my point wasn’t that climate change caused the storm, so much as it intensified it to make it already one of the worst in recorded history in the US. And the fact that we’ve had 3 of them in the past 12 years is itself pretty crummy.

Is it me or is the hook of The Night Begins To Shine pretty darn similar to the bridge of Blondie’s “Call Me” (just after the first key change)? That might be why some people wonder if they’ve heard it before.

Because they are people.
