Unfortunately, she’ll never get past that misstep. She is too easy for Trump to lambaste with the vulgar “Pocahontas” and gives off Hillary vibes that the Democratic Party can’t risk this cycle. She has great ideas and it is nice to see a candidate speak about specific policy proposals rather than “hope and change”,…

This feels like some forewarning that a lot of people are going to be pissed about the ending, to be honest.

I really like the little hints from this episode and season 7 that Dany might become Dark!Dany. It would be interesting to see a character that started out as good and just wanting to have a home to have an arch where through their actions (How she kept power in the East, how she seems more and more comfortable with…

I don’t like the direction they’re taking with Dany and Jon. I agree: she should catch on to the fact that he can ride a dragon = he’s got Targaryen blood, but she’s got too big of a puss-on to think straight. It feels as if the editors are trying to lay the Dany/Jon romance on thick for the sake of the fans, and I’m…

Exactly. Some of the big moments in this ep were weirdly underplayed. This one, of course. And the reveal of Jon’s parentage (which i09 pointed out got the same screen time and Bronn’s little menage a quatre). Seriously?

Right? That entire thing was so weirdly casual, it didn’t make any sense. After seven seasons of Dany-and-HER-dragons, suddenly she’s all, “Sure, hop on, take him for spin”? It always seemed like Jon finally riding a dragon (and confirming his Targaryen-ness) would be this big pivotal moment, and instead it was like…

I did like her grasp of side eye, subtle burns and of course the stare.

Sansa has a really interesting arc from a naive girl who believed in fairy tales to a cynical woman.

That ending with Jamie and Bran:

Beric and Tormund see the Umber boy/wight at Last Hearth, the Umber home and the closest castle to the Wall. It means (as I think it was Beric or maybe Dolorous Edd pointed out) that the group is now stuck behind the army of the dead as they march to Winterfell.

I thought I saw Brienne in the Winterfell group meeting scene, when Lady Mormont called out Jon? Maybe it was in the recap instead.

ha! Melania is no prisoner - or Leia....

Tormund and Me. 

Normally I say like who you like and I won’t judge, but I will never understand the Bronn is hot crew! He’s just sleazy. And I’ve seen enough scenes with his grizzled mug leering at barely 18 year old naked women to last a lifetime. No, thank you.

I know they hate each other but Brienne and The Hound would be kind of hot, no? Basically an entire episode should be dedicated to Brienne getting to fuck anyone and everyone she wants, including and beyond Jaime, Tormund, and the Hound.

The Hound and me.

supporting israel on its face certainly isn’t allegiance to a foreign power. but taking money from pro-israel groups and then pushing legislation (texas HB 89, to be more specific) that punishes anti-israel speech & boycotts—what is that, exactly? what do you call a law that prioritizes the economic well-being of a…

For real! If Omar’s comments are anti-Semitic (which they are not), then the attacks on her are definitely Islamophobic (which, in reality, is probably what they’re rooted in).

No one is claiming there is no antisemitism on the left — there certainly is, just as there is homophobia, racism, misogyny, classism etc.; we live in a culture built on those things and it’s absurd to think the left would magically be exempt from them — but allowing plainly disingenuous Republicans (and their…
