No.

The dragons aren’t really the bad guys are they? They don’t conquer, they don’t hoard wealth, they don’t commit genocide. They generally mind their own business but can be convinced to work for the actual bad guys. The problem is the actual bad guys have trained the dragons to do horrible shit and keep putting the…

I didn’t see it as an “oops my bad” on Aemond’s part and more of a reflection that dragons - especially a very large and very old dragon like Vhagar - have minds of their own and that it’s an illusion that the Targaryens can control them. I haven’t read the books, but I’m going to take a guess that this won’t be the…

At least it was interesting. Maybe I’m not up on the dragon lore in this universe, but showing us that dragons can go rogue and disobey their riders wasn’t something I expected. But that gets back to my feeling about this series that the most interesting characters in it are the dragons. 

Otto has been the worst since the very first episode when he sends Alicent in to comfort the king.

Untrue! It added some depth to his character, that he’s not simply a dumb, bloodthirsty dumbass. He’s kind of shown that in the past by basically not killing his brother when he could, and complaining about how he’s the thoughtful one, the educated one, the one that truly deserves the throne. I think this was played…

I will say at least over the last 2 episodes they've established someone to root against. I'm still not sure I'm rooting for The Blacks (eek this is pretty terrible) but I'm strongly against the Greens. Also could Otto Hightower have any stronger plot armor? Any other character and they'd be a dragon snack. Also color…

GRRM is married now, but lived with his current wife for a long time (I think over a decade or two) prior to getting officially hitched. I think his negative experience with a previous marriage may have turned him against them.

I know, as soon as I hit the publish button I remembered but it was too late.

Yep. We knew/know a lot of people. There’s a period in your mid-late 20's when everyone gets hitched. We went to a lot more than 17, that was just the record for a single 12 month period. We were aghast. This was back in the roaring 90's. 

I’ve been told my wedding was the most fun a lot of people had but I barely remember it.  I do remember the frantic weeks before it and the stress of the damn thing and my bank account remembers the money I spent, even 15 years later.   We should have eloped and used that money to go towards a house down payment

My wife and I went to 17 weddings in one year. I was in 6 of them, she was in 4. They were not all local.

I loved Sandman but what impressed me the most was that they managed to squeeze about 15-16 issues into a single season. Stuff actually happened! I was really happy they didn’t drag things out, with “Preludes & Nocturnes” (my least favorite arc) taking up an entire season. They covered so much ground and did a great…

You think GAA was reee-dic-u-lous? I still remember watching a film strip in third grade (Google it kids) in which a girl jumped off a roof cuz she was high...high on what you ask? High on the reefer.

I think this also comes down to the practicality of replacing a human with a host. Hale mentioned that it’s not practical to replace everyone and I don’t think it’s so much a time issue as it is a space issue as well. If you need to keep the human around for fidelity and to prevent degradation then you’d run out of…

Why not both? I’m thinking also maybe they need him for “fidelity”. If you tried to recreate Dolores he knew her best from spending the most time in the park. So he might be able to “verify” a Dolores reconstruction in the same way Dolores was used to check fidelity on Bernard.

it’s one of two things.

1. Hale hasn’t perfected the copying of a human mind into a host body like they’re implying and they need the real version in order to make a baseline of the host until it degrades. Or it’s necessary to keep the real body alive in order to copy the host indefinitely without degradation.

I think Dolores is actually in NYC. I think Hale is using what’s left of Dolores, and other hosts, to help write the “storylines” for humans. Effectively she turned NYC into it’s own version of Westworld where the roles are flipped.

The other thing to note is that nobody can see the tower, except that one homeless man…

Michelle Yeoh is a treasure. Loved her in ST: Discovery. I usually don’t like ST mirror universe episodes because it feels like a lazy writer’s plot device. But in Disco’s case, it meant Yeoh coming back to the show, so plus one for the mirror universe. 

Yep, I’m definitely in that Straighty, cissy, Whitey Maley(TM) camp.
