I think you’re misreading or misstating it. Approximately half of people cheat at some point. The majority of people are cheated on at some point. But that doesn’t mean half of relationships involve cheating. Most people have several relationships, and just because someone cheats in one doesn’t mean they do in all of…

Studies have shown again and again that the vast majority of monogamous relationships have cheating at one point or another.

That doesn’t sound very Whedonesque. 

I think the white savior narrative in Slaver’s Bay is part of that too. Especially if the show never addresses what happens after she leaves and assumes that stuff will be fine with Daario in charge of things.

The show also seems to gloss over things in an effort to make Dany look better. Like the fact that she can’t…

Shouldn’t they be easier to get with that conservative boycott?

What bothers me about her is that she believes her family name entitles her to the Seven Kingdoms, but does not require her to atone for her father’s sins. I’d say it’s a package deal.

Does that mean the Northern lords were right to choose Jon ahead of Sansa, since she doesn’t know anything about warfare?

Since the Dornish have the eldest child inherit, do they train all their daughters in warfare as well, or do they allow them to delegate?

In the unlikely event they had to fight Dorne again (or more likely event had troops levied), Sam almost certainly would have appointed Dickson or someone else to lead the troops.

It was a kind act, sure. He’s still an asshole overall.

You wouldn’t be bothered by Sam’s own father murdering him just for being weak?

Dany tortures people too. Crucifixion springs to mind.

He very well might have murdered Sam if he had refused to take the black. And once Sam took the vows Randall had achieved removing him from succession. I doubt harboring a single wildling is much of a risk for a lord as powerful as him.

He’s not a complete monster, but there’s plenty of room between “monster” and…

Threatening to murder your son and then say it was a hunting accident is disgraceful IRL *and* in Westeros.

Yeah, I don’t think I’d go as far as Cherith and call her definitely worse than Robert.

Robert does have have the advantage that rebelling was the only way to protect himself (and Ned) against the Mad King. After Robert died, Dany could have just minded her own business in Essos rather than invading Westeros.

One of her dragons kills a kid near Meereen. That’s why she locks the two of them (Drogon being MIA) up until Tyrion lets them out.

She has no reason to be confident they won’t also kill innocents in Westeros.

No. White Walkers and wights are different things. White Walkers are living beings created from changing the babies people like Crastor offer them.

White Walkers have the ability to raise nearby corpses as wights, who seem relatively mindless and lacking in free will. The only ability wights have is being harder to…

Where are they going to find more Valyrian steel to reforge? For any other forging, I’m sure the smiths in Winterfell are perfectly capable.

Why is it that in fantasy novels vague prophecies are never just straight up bullshit?

How dare you. Qyburn has nothing to do with anything as superstitious as “demons”. He’s advancing legitimate (albeit cutting edge) science.

Well, anyone attacking the US or Russia would be committing suicide. Anyone attacking another nuclear power would still likely be incurring enormous death and destruction to their own population and infrastructure.

Fair enough, that’s not what she was initially advocating. But she does advocate the government actively suppressing a religion (she’s clear that she’s talking about the entirety of Islam as it currently exists) by curtailing civil liberties.

She’s also vague about what “stopping the infiltration of Islam in the…
