The Guardian has been careful in calling it "sexual assault" unlike the American media I've seen so far — and it is because the Stanford perpetrator was convicted on assault with attempt to rape and similar charges.

That's what I worried about when Margaery pushed for her grandmother to leave — that it would prove that she is not as devoted as she claims. Perhaps he will take it as an acceptable one to have, for now, esp if he hears she gets into the future baby making as soon as possible.

I assumed that was just geography — at the Wall it was more likely the raven might pass through Winterfell or thereabouts. From a new position such a possibility is less likely.

It's strange how folk seem to expect her to be firing on all cylinders when this is her first time attempting any of it. Jon has had way more experience than her and if he hadn't died he wouldn't even have convinced the Free Folk. It won't be much of a character arc if she doesn't suck at things first…

How does Jon get so many points? He only convinced the Free Folk with major assists and flopped everywhere else looking mopey.

He would talk about that with Margaery because that's what the Upstandings do, secular or religious — everyone likes to be seen as wonderful morally and they use the poor to do it.

Her make up this episode was so distracting…

Haven't seen any of that covered in the show —not a single commoner brought up on any kind of charge or any implication that any sparrow is acting in the role of magistrate to the citizenry. There is no evidence that the High Sparrow has any direct involvement in city administration. And if it were happening it ought…

The only Lannister claim to the throne is through a fake Baratheon - Tommen. Without him, it's up for grabs. Whatever noble house could manage it, I suppose.

You know, it is possible for characters to be something more than a villain/hero. That's what GoT's been exploring for a few seasons now. Margaery may not aspire to Stark levels of nobility and sacrifice, but she does her best to manoeuvre her team into the best position without maliciously causing destruction to or…

Hence the need for the backbone — not a septic one like Cersei, but one who already has a good reputation with the people, and is likely to be all for social good yet unlikely to threaten the poor with imprisonment if they don't talk/drink/fuck the way she likes it.

I can't help thinking that Jamie is going to fuck it up for the Lannisters, somehow. His high handed "I'm the Lord" attitude will only garner obedience until the Freys figure out a way to fuck him over, I bet. He is no Tywin and definitely not a Tyrion. He is used to his sword arm and name getting him everything, when…

He stated that he sent her a personal apology beyond this public one, and I imagine she acknowledged that one.

It's hard for me to bring to mind any of the highly regarded, in-demand actresses from both USA and Europe who *doesn't* have a formal relationship with a fashion house.

That's how I remember it too, but the praise for it here in comments is making me consider rewatching it.

Ah, I wondered about Allen, before I commented. Thanks for the correction.

And that's why David O. Russell keeps getting hired…? Or Bryan Singer is so beloved? Woody Allen doesn't get bad press…? Which part of the system do these people work in, precisely…they must have to step through a mirror or fall down a rabbit hole to get there.

After I watched Age of Ultron I still wasn't entirely sure about what a Vision was. I may be Avengers-proof. I only have enough geek energy for Tolkien.

That may count for all of the Marvel series. I just watched/rewatched (not sure, honestly) the first Avengers the other day and realised that part of the reason I was so disengaged from Age of Ultron is that a lot of it flew over my head. The sceptre stuff and everything connected to it. Black Widow and Hulk. Has…
