“stanning” is not a good thing. it’s being an unthinking, uncritical absorber of pop culture.

When you look at the titles from all episodes, the ones with the sigils of two houses or mascots of two people, we had “The Lion and the Wolf” about two houses about to go to war; “The Lion and the Rose” about a wedding; “The Mountain and the Viper” about two warriors in combat, and now, “The Dragon and the Wolf”…

whhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat the fuuuuuuuuucccck was that?

Its so sad that this (new money) was my first thought as well. I wish we had the old oligarchs, who knew better.

Have they even touched on the bankrupt Secret Service yet? I refuse to watch, google or follow anything from that network.

I completely agree that the execution of this storyline was bunk. It seems incredibly obvious that it happened because they need the Night King to have a dragon zombie. Might have been more believable if Jon and Davos had been able to convince Dany about the army of the dead, and she had gone up there to actually…

Couple things. I think the White Walkers knew this mission was happening, and set a trap for a dragon, because they need a dragon to get beyond the wall. Why bother walking further toward the wall when you need this convenient canyon where you can trap the idiots and lure a dragon to help them? Just wait it out.

I’ve kind of gone off about this over at the AV Club, but at a certain point, the end of a story has to make some sense in connection with the beginning and middle. Or else, it’s not really a story. At this point in a story, we should know the characters well enough to “predict” what they will do in a given…

and THANK FUCKING GOD for that.

straight to the show. the books aren’t done and never will be. they are filled with tangents and detours that won’t matter.

oooo what is your tattoo like??

If you believe any of the prophesies about the Prince Who was Promised, and about the witch’s curse on Dany after Drogo died, the Prince Who was Promised forged his sword, the weapon that can take down the Night’s King, and had to cool it by stabbing his beloved wife in the heart. (Hey, don’t look at me, I didn’t…

I love that section of the show, when Sansa almost kills Joff and the Hound stops her, becuase he knows even if it killed Joffrey, it would go badly for Sansa. He was always so complex.

to some extent, I’m here for the show, knowing that it will be meticulously curated.

Also the tour was the “look at all my friends” tour so it got lots of media coverage of “You’ll never believe who joined Taylor on stage last night in Jones-Smith-Ville-Burg” and literally every time it was “yes, I believe it. It was a bunch of skinny white bitches and a token dude.”

Or you know, come out and say “It’s not cool to brag about sexual assault”

So I can keep typing while I eat, without nutella on my fingers. duh.

as a white woman in a white state with a comfortable white life with the exception of an increasingly crippling depression about the news these days, i watched this, laughed in recognition that this is what i have been doing for almost a year, and yes, those feelings of guilt and inadequacy are real and i am not doing…

I literally bought a jar of nutella the other day to keep in my desk drawer with a spoon for my afternoon Jezebel/Twitter despression

Yeah, I took this as a reminder that the nagging feelings a of guilt about doing literally this - eating my feelings, worrying, complaining and screaming into a pastry - are legit and I should feel bad about it.
