She can't have spent all those hours in the keep sewing with her nana for nothing.

Yes, that's an odd read to me of Sansa's character as well. Jon's presence is such a major source of her security in that scene, she's fairly brimming with it. Like you, I think she valued the info over the source and did not want to (as she would have seen it) distract anyone by naming him. Maybe they meant that,…

Btw, are Jon and co ignoring the fact that this eventual army to retake Winterfell will involve Wildlings having to fight with Northern men? I feel like that's gonna be a hard sell, if not proven by what happened by the Wall, then certainly with Umber's move.

If she had gotten it right first time out then she'd be a Mary Sue, some faux feminist cipher. I can't with these kind of comments *eye roll*.

Aaahh, and that explains why the Priestess went directly for his weak spot and ground her heel in it so effectively. I don't like her at all. We've got two realms working with some religious group and I'm not fond of either of them.

Yeah. I don't think there are enough beatings to get rid of how that play made her feel and what it reminded her of. Still, she seems committed to the task so far (even with all her questions).

It wasn't even a dick in a desirable context…it was presented in a manner meant to inspire some level of revulsion or distaste — the exact opposite of almost every other instance of female nudity. Why did any of this even need to be explained…

At least I have an explanation for why that young assassin holds such disdain for Arya — she's not fond of the aristocracy and I can't blame her. I am curious about how much of a No One Arya really is. Enough, apparently, to not die when she drank the poison, but enough to remain unaffected by the play. I didn't even…

Surely, artists exist in the place, and do likenesses. And while the story was close there were departures that makes sense as the gossip develops the further away it gets from the source.

He seems like another Robert Baratheon to me. I almost felt pity for him as he waxed on about how he was gonna seduce Daenarys and take over the world. All right sweetie, you go on ahead, sweep her off her feet with your dick and ships. Yara would definitely be the better option for that plan. I hope she and Theon…

In the Mereen scene it was said that two weeks had passed since they struck the deal with the Sons of Harpy funders. That may explain LF reaching the Wall so quickly…not that familiar with the geography to say either way.

Unfortunately, I suspect that their plan to take Winterfell will be all but impossible without her having to return to Littlefinger to make an alliance for the sake of that army. I am also reaaaaallly curious about the emphasis Littlefinger placed on Jon being her half-brother. I'm worried about how he may already be…

But the Raven said that Bran wasn't ready. I surmised that it was time for him to be replaced because his imminent death became inevitable after Bran fucked up and got marked by the Night King (or whatever his title is). Bran could leave — he could not. So Westeros has a new Raven who barely knows Jack Shit. It oughta…

That's what I thought! Did the direwolf really need to die? His death was utterly pointless as a stall or…whatever. Ugh!

I cried so much :'(. It's the first moment this season that made me weep. God damn it.

:-O

Idk man. Just because a society doesn't think it "tolerates open racism" makes it so. There isn't a single former or current colonial or neocolonial world power in which its society would describe itself as racist. Examine its systems from the halls of power down to the local school board, survey its marginalised…

Thanks! I really appreciated your comments too.

I am sorry to say that persons make all kinds of fucked up remarks in front of black folk all the time, to our face. I am made fun of, openly (even by other black folk), for my hair. My Trini friend, the other day, was complimented for being mixed (and it wasn't the African bit the guy was impressed by, I can tell you…

I tried to tap dance around this because I hate the Who Has it Worst Olympics these kind of discussions can devolve into. I do think it's a case where less "acceptable" prejudices simply get encoded or appear differently. We do not have "yellow face" happen much any more, but the alternative is a near invisibility in…
