I feel the same. To be fair, though, I can understand why she didn't want to return to the sept. I wouldn't have trusted the High Sparrow to let her back out regardless of how any trial went.

And all the holy folks were gonna go right along with it until the Mountain zombie ripped one of their heads off. Enlightenment arrived just in time!

I disagree on the question of Joffrey's weakness. His entire reign was a series of vicious tantrums because he lacked any strength to speak of. All his power came from his title. Anyone could have mushed him without it. It just has a different appearance to Tommen's — and as annoying as it is I'd take Tommen's over…

Did Drogon really fly off when there's an attack on Mereen? Tell me that the next episode has the dragons roasting those ships.

At all. I found it so gross when many condemned her for not dropping to her knees in gratitude that he was the Nice Lannister who didn't rape her. After what she's been through I actually find most of the ships for her gross. I just want her to be safe somewhere for a good long while.

I love it. I don't even care if she fucks over Tommen. In this episode I actually felt some umbrage on her behalf when it came to him. This woman has pretty much burnt down the world for him and he can't even look her in the face as he shivs her. If he were doing it due to his own unique motivation I'd swing with him,…

You mean this decision didn't spring from Divine Inspiration? But the High Sparrow is such a holy man who just wants equality and justice for everyone! Oh, the humanity etc. I can't stand Cersei but this feckin pope is making me somewhat sympathetic. I don't like it. I'd honestly prefer if he just stabbed her in the…

So with one night of rest after being stabbed to hell that fall and roll didn't bust her stitches wide open…!? I found that entire bit unbelievable. I can't even buy my own rationalisations about that entire Assassin House story line being worth the # of eps it got.

I never forgot. I still don't understand how he got his own fan club. Maybe when I do my rewatch…

Right? It's just mean to keep arguing with them at that point. Too easy.

Idk. I fell asleep during Frozen. Maybe I'll hold my nose and watch whatever else they've managed.

Who was dodging it? And I thought they had only seen ISIS sympathisers stating any support so far? And can any American reaaaaaallly get high handed about ISIS these days considering what allowed that group to form in the first place? Reeeeaaaaaalllllly?

Do you truly think that USA goes running to the rescue every time an ally is worried about a nearby dictator? You truly think the USA *cares* about things like dictatorships when a country like Saudia Arabia is a major ally?

Except that it didn't start on 9/11 either. Look, that act was absolutely fucked up, without question. People from my country died in that building. But I haaaaaate it when you Anglo/Euro powers suffer from these dastardly attacks and act as if they came out of nowhere. It's a miracle, frankly, with what US foreign…

Remember when Pixar was firmly *against* doing sequels and Disney had to hold em by the balls to get all the Toy Story films? Sigh.

I did the same thing myself so when I drift back to second season I'll let you know. Hehe.

My HS chemistry teacher was Irish and often said something similar (without the liquor comparisons, of course).

Jamaica. The distance did not, alas, diminish in anyway, that unholy mess.

Aah. That bit about Churchill is a nice tip as I catch up with my Peaky Blinders.

Thanks very much for this comment. I am still motivated enough to do some research on this particular part of Irish history, but the description of the IRA as "terrorists" during this time period confused the hell out of me. I couldn't really fathom what kind of "sympathetic portrayal" the British could possibly have…
