Re: Osha/Cannibals. The Thenns were cannibals as well, and much more likely for her to have seen them at this point than to have ever reached Skagos.

Worked in the hospitality industry for years. Was given X amount of vacation a year. Took X amount of vacation a year.

Another factor, too, is that if you’re company is large enough, your individual department’s culture might matter more. I look at co-workers in other departments in the company I work for, and am very happy I am where I am :)

Oh I hear you; I was just kvetching at the idea that seems to persist out there that /r/asoiaf is the only place where GoT theories come from, tinfoil or not.

Oh, I see what you mean. He has agency now, but only because of his last name, and not his first.

Oh wow, I guess I had that wrong. I always figured they were closer in age to Bran.

Yea, totally looked too small.

Superfluous? He’ll take the place of Fake-Arya, and be the motivation that gets Jon to attack. That’s the exact opposite of superfluous :)

Meet George R. R. Martin.

Meaning Meera and Jon are the same age, and I don’t really believe that, either in the books or the show.

Oh, I found that spot on. Not as stoic as we’re used to seeing him, but he’s young and rescuing a family member, so it worked for me.

That theory has been around longer than Reddit :).

I’d argue it’s not the first 30-40 minutes, because the first 10-15 minutes are an INCREDIBLE opening action sequence.

Perhaps I enjoyed it more because it was my introduction to some of these characters. I can’t be bothered by “... Tony’s maddeningly quick descent into assholery” because to me, he was just an asshole from the start.

Not that I should be surprised that I disagree with a post at io9 these days — or that I’ll likely find myself in the minority — but I liked Civil War. It was the first comic series I read cover-to-cover including many of the other books that included story arc off-shoots.

Hey, Danny D: I’d argue that there are many of these angry types writing for this site, not just those in the comments section.

As long as you remove Quentyn from the scope, perhaps...

An autorefresh plugin for m.twitter.com would be great. I love having the minimal version up on my screen.

I think Singer has said that Jubilee was mostly cut from the film.

Because the writers on io9 have made calling it the Murderverse the cool thing to do.
