I think he was enthralled, but also I think he saw no possible future for himself: he had failed his mother, he had failed his wife, his only ally was the late high sparrow — a smarter, braver kid than Tommen would have trouble seeing a way forward.

I want to watch that series.

That’s definitely fun!

I’m not CineCraft, nor am I defending her. I DID criticize you, not because I think Cinecraft to be right but because I believe you to be wrong in a different way.

No. I don’t think you needed to pat cinecraft on the back. Why would I suggest you do any such thing? It’s clear that you disagree with her position. Obviously, you have every right to tell her what you think.

You are an outstanding writer.

I think almost everyone has some kind of mental illness, whether it’s been diagnosed or not. Good luck managing yours!

Hey, slow down there. CineCraft’s remark was certainly unsympathetic, but I think your response is way overblown. Tolerance works in multiple directions, you know?

You’re so right. But I must say, I don’t think you were particularly nice to CineCraft just now. S/he DIDN’T seem prepared to give other people a break, and that’s not ideal — but your response definitely kicked things up a notch. If she was unsympathetic, you were actually snarky. Just saying.

That story just made my day. I wish I were a nurse! I have lupus, so I’ve spent my fair share of time in hospitals, and nurses fucking ROCK. Tell your sister I said thank you for her service!

Because she’s still very young, and she has had just enough success to allow her to preserve her exceptionalism. She’s not a governor. She’s a visionary. Not all that different from Melisandre, except she’s her own god.

I agree. Also, suppose she did deliberately sacrifice a bunch of people? She’s learned what her father refused to accept: “You win or you die."

I agree that’s not what he meant, but I still think she is pregnant.

Yes, but that would make her choice to deny the kid’s father more remarkable and dramatic. If there is a kid.

Right? Especially when we also had to flash back to poor Shireen.

I hope not. I guess I really meant, "RIP a lot of Bear Islanders."

Kettle’s on! Kitten doesn’t want to play, though. She has a cupboard to watch. (She’s been watching it for a week, apparently convinced there’s a mouse in there.)

Yeah, that felt a bit unnecessary.

Yeah, I wanted her to tell Ramsay that his kid was going to be raised a Snow, or a Baelish, or whatever, just to mess with him.

Please, please be wrong.
