She doesn’t know when Dany is coming. And she doesn’t hold any sway over Euron.

You picked the two sequences that I had the biggest problem with. There’s no way Dragonstone would just be empty for her to throw open the doors and be like ‘it’s nice to be back home.’ She hasn’t been there for 20+ years. It’s barely even dusty...

Go back to kindergarten, you moron. Learn to read.

This is an instance where I’d prefer the market decide. Who says what an offensive gender stereotype is? Over time, aren’t you now just creating new gender stereotypes?

but for fuck’s sake, we just elected a black guy who completely revamped healthcare. OF COURSE there was gonna be a backlash.

Democrats who have wielded power for many years: America is sick of your bullshit. Maybe let the grass roots give it a shot for once. You suck.

Whoa whoa whoa. LeBron has every right to lobby for what he wants - what he wants is the best team surrounding him in any given season. The front office has the responsibility to balance that against future seasons, or other concerns. Second, comparing anyone but a handful of players to Kevin Durant is very unfair.…

You know what kind of asshole you have to be to not own a team, look at the NFL and say to yourself “now that’s how you treat labor”.

a city like Oakland that faces major crises with education, housing, and crime does not need to even entertain the idea that a new baseball stadium is any kind of public issue.

that Golden State(and Miami, etc) aren’t winning “legitimately” the way Jordan did.

We have seen many conversations where rulers have been questioned by an advisor and no one bats an eyelash. But Sansa has a different opinion than Jon and suddenly it’s all OMG BE QUIET, LEARN YOUR PLACE, UGH.

Lady Mormont has done shit all in terms of defending her lands. She’s awesome and kickass, but she isn’t out there sword in hand. Like Sansa, it can be inferred that she delegates the actual tactics and strategies and preparedness to competent subordinates. Which is exactly what you would expect to happen with the…

Exactly. The writers are addicted to the Red Wedding moment, or Ned Stark beheading momen - the scene that blows up the internet and is full of visceral emotion and (maybe tragic) beauty. The problem with that is that the victims of the Red Wedding and Ned Stark were character(s) that we cared about and had invested…

Every time Jon has an idea Sansa should immediately issue orders that everyone do the exact goddamned opposite as quickly as possible.

PLUS don’t you want more able and experienced defenders at those castles?!

Jon Snow is doing fine at leadership as ever but frankly he needs to listen to Sansa more—his dismissal of her warnings about Ramsay Bolton ended up in near-defeat

Yes, but Bernard of Italy was effectively legitimated by Charlemagne when he was allowed to inherit Pepin II’s kingdom, and William of Normandy won England through right of conquest, not truly inheriting it. His claim was pretty weak.

name one example of that. A bastard has to be legitimized, as you say. Only a king has the right to do that. Which means, Jon is not legitimate. He is a bastard, with no inheritance rights.

I read a clever solution somewhere a few years back. Once you are eliminated from the playoffs (mathematically), you start a new “season” and the team with the highest winning percentage or most games won in that new “season” (maybe minimum five games or something) gets the first pick, and so on down the line. This…

Actually, they win. Because the Knights of the Vale are a win button. The only case to be made is Ramsay wouldn’t have left Winterfell in the face of such a force, and tried to win a siege.
