The chamber maid’s appearance serving at dinner later in the episode also confirmed that the oh-so comforting tea that Alicent all but forced the girl to drink wasn’t poison.

You bring up an excellent point about what does a parent do when their child is a bad person? One must be torn between love, the urge to still protect them, and wondering how did such an asshole come from me?

I’ve been fan of Olivia Cooke ever since “Me and Earl and the Dying Girl”. Alicent is a hard part to play, but she’s doing a great job .

Tip #6 for Jordan: If you’re worried about people thinking you’re a sexist asshole, maybe don’t go on The Piers Morgan Show to make your pitch.

Beyond that, there is something that just really gets to the core of me about the fact that this girl was betrayed so badly by, not only people she admired, but the people put in place to ostensibly prevent this type of behavior (i.e. crime) from happening.

It just kept piling on. A child who lost most of the adults in her family, but found a steady adult role model in a friendly police officer. It’s a nice feel good story— like Eleven meeting Hopper.

Agreed. As I have become increasingly aware of how terrible cops are, this one in particular struck me for reasons I cannot articulate.

But don’t worry. They never be cops in that town again. Another town, sure, but something something BLUE LIBES MaDDER!

Americans IN GENERAL have a very “all or nothing” mentality about...well, everything.  Consistently let Perfect be the enemy of Good, and are very quick to put ideological purity tests on anyone and everyone to make sure everything matches exactly.  Both sides of the aisle do this to at least some extent here, but at…

Nobody in the LGBTQ community is sexualizing kids you fucking dweeb we’re normalizing those of us who are attracted to other adults of same gender, nonbinary people or everyone of age. You openly admitted that there *are* republicans in your midst that do wanna fuck kids. The hell out of here with these bad faith…

All I’m hearing from the post is “I’m mad that this woman rightly called out republicans on their shitty behavior, so I’m gonna shit on the gays”. The fuck out of here you nerd.

Sweet, I live right on the corner of Pop that dick out your mouth and Go fuck yourself.  Pretty sure murder only applies to people, which conservatives certainly are not. It’d be more akin to pest control than a civil war. 

LMAO. A bonafide real life internet tough guy (TM) here ladies and gents! Pretty sure murder violates people’s bodily autonomy chief! Sure, really though, give me your address, baby twatmonger. I’ll be right over. LMAO.

We’re not all peaceniks skippy. Bring it on

Oh, I see that they have their perverted priorities straight. Let me guess, their schools and infrastructure are perfect?

They're really, really pissed off they can't just outwardly fuck kids aren't they?

Tennessee is trying to get rid of the minimum marriage age. 

“One of their deepest fears (a phobia among incels in particular) is that, left to our own devices, women will mate with stronger, more primally appealing men (some will say the quiet part aloud: They mean Black men), despoil ourselves... ”

fuck this.
