Virtue always had to be its own reward. You have to be decent, because being an asshole is too easy.

Just because you're poly doesn't mean you're going to have mad game and/or no standards. I'm single, and have no one to make demands on me with regard to sexual exclusivity, but that doesn't mean that I'm hooking up left and right.

But no one is mad about all the skittles - we're just not going to autmatically assume that all the skittles are safe and act accordingly. Sorting out the toxic from the non-toxic ones takes a while. Problems arise when the skittles get all huffy about not getting instant blanket benefit of the doubt under all…

But Jews don't have quite the same tendency to think that they're less susceptible to misogyny merely by virtue of being Jewish.

I think he's going to be absolutely crucial for coordinating the various last defenders of humanity in the War for Dawn via Weirwood network.

It happens as fast as it can under the circumstances. Sticking her neck out too far would be very stupid in her current situation. I'm always here for the slow burn, but I understand why it's frustrating for many readers.

Well, that's the comforting thing about all GOT discussions. Arguments might get heated in all regards, but fans will always find common ground in that.

A feast learner, obviously.

But he might have easily fallen. Point is they both disobeyed their parents and took stupid risks, without malicious intent and paid a horrible price for it.

She was a thirteen year old kid at that point and she has learned a lot since then. Bran's climbing action was pretty reckless as well. Kids do stupid shit.

Oh, there's some feminist outrage in there anyway, because I don't object to book deviations on principle. Not that book!Shae was was a triumph of feminism or something, but at least in the books the whole affair is framed as a proper fall from grace for Tyrion. I'm just not here for the whitewashing, you know.

Oh, he can learn to do it, if he has to. But he won't choose to, if there are other options. I predict that the moment the crisis is over, Jon will gladly hand over the reins to someone to whom the whole thing comes more naturally.

Sansa is very perceptive, can keep her wits in stressful situations (eg. guiding an epileptic Sweet Robin down the dangerous mountain path; calming the other ladies during the Siege of King's Landing; talking down the Houndfrom the ledge at the height of his nervous breakdown) and is a pretty good manipulator. She…

Warning: I have many feelings about this:

Correction appreciated. Made me reflect on what's the cowardly animal in German. I guess it'd be rabbit as well. (Angsthase rather than Angsthuhn). Although you don't hear that a lot anymore; I think in German I'd call Victor a "Hosenscheißer" (someone who shits in his pants. Can't go wrong with scatology in German.)

Yeah, I just looked it up myself after posting. Memo for the future: first wikipedia, then comment section.

I resent the gendered invective, but can't disagree with the spirit of the message. Victor knows he has no chance against Caliban on his own, and getting help would involve fessing up to what he did, for which he is too chicken-shit as well.

Not Hades (I don't even remember any story where they're particularly antagonistic; Zeus has more quarrels with his wife than with Hades, I think.) But maybe his dad?

I'm inordinately fond of this show, but I come here to read criticism. Surely the show is not above it?

Yeah, the show really botched Shae. I'm pretty bitter about it.
