yes. yes all of this. :( Hope it’s better now, even though there may be less of it?

It’s like, way more depressing than scary, imo. I end every episode looking sadly at my phone, knowing that it is the beginning of the end of mankind.

GOOD GOD. This is a horror story that should be shared on Halloween.

Eh. I was itching to lose it (at 17, in 01, so, right in line with this film) and it was just like, a thing to get out of the way.

I remember that too, though I am a show-only fan, albeit with extensive internet information about the books. So, yeah, i dont know which medium had that tidbit in it, but I’m with you, I thought it was pretty cool of him to be responsible that way in a repressive society - taking equal ownership of the situation that…

YES, with a nod or even just a look dead in the eyes, this would have actually added to the movie. the “thank you” is a major misstep.

wow, that is terrible.

Thank you - I was like, “WHAHhhaaaaat? No no no no no no”

Don’t most people arrested for illegal immigration come by air though, and just overstay their visas?

I may just be in a bad mood today, but I’m predicting more like Bobbi Kristina than not. :/ #debbiedowner

Yup. With you. Definitely. We are the pack that will survive.

There are subtle things I’m clinging to that are allowing me to maintain this interpretation: When Sansa is poking around Arya’s room, Arya shows up completely silently. So she is able to do that, but chooses to pick a lock, noisily, and open a door, loudly, when Littlefinger is watching?

Also, I think the game of assume the worst revealed Arya’s true intentions to Sansa. If the game said Arya’s out to get her, motivated by a desire to be Lady of Winterfell, then Arya is not actually out to get her because that motivation makes no sense. It’s the only thing Sansa really knows about her sister, and…

I regularly grapple with the evil, white hot joy I take in how thin and lifeless her hair is. I fucking love how shitty her hair is. She’s going fucking bald. I love it. I hate myself for loving it, but I cannot help it.

He should have been named Aemon, it was a mistake to name him anything else, and I won’t hear otherwise. Done.

it implies that she will be infertile until the other things in the curse happen.

It seemed to me like he knew the dragons would come. So the only plot hole is whether he can see the future or the past/present the way Bran can.

Loads of women die in childbirth. Human women, with human children. It’s a storytelling trope, and a real-world tragedy. I’m afraid you’re inventing the significance of this, my friend.

For all the talk about Martin subverting tropes in storytelling, this is a very old one that he fell into, over and over again.

Agreed. I try to stay away from pedantry, and this was always my most pedantic issue. Your explanation makes great sense and I’m going with that.
