Since I’ve never lived there, I can’t comment with first hand knowledge, but going off the conversation between Tyrion and Varys about the topic, it wasn’t a common occurrence in the north. But who knows, maybe those two were wrong, and it was more common.

The bells didn’t make her lose it, she was already gone. I don’t think she ever had any intention of upholding her word to not attack if the bells rang, she just said yes to make everyone shut up about it. I do think they made her descent in to madness a bit too quick, but here have been hints of it all along. She did…

I HATE that they took a character who grew from an underestimated small player—moving pieces behind the scenes—to a ruthless leader and ended with her crying about her unborn child. The writers have always relied on her relationship to her children to humanize her and to develop her character, which is such a naive…

Dany literally said to Jon, when he pulled away and it was clear their romance was over, that she was choosing fear. The bells were marking that finality of that decision. I still don’t think it was truly earned, personally. While they planted the seeds for madness and all the ingredients were there, I think the…

Are people really this dense. You did get that several times it was said that ringing the bells meant they were surrendering right? That was the point

Sansa saw through Daenery’s right from the beginning. She knew she’d end up being a brutal dictator. Why not? She comes from a long line of incestuous relationships that feature madness.

Probably because every outsider who’s acted friendly towards her has ended up being someone who’d betray her. She trusted the Tyrells and they used her to murder Joffrey, she trusted Littlefinger and... yeah let’s not even talk about what the show decided to do with her then.

It’s not she’s skeptical, she downright doesn’t want a foreign ruler. She doesn’t trust anyone else in power, especially someone, a Targaryen she doesn’t know. She’s playing Littlefinger’s little game in her head, and doesn’t believe Daenerys to be any better than the other options besides Jon, a family member. We…

I dunno. I took Danaerys’ snapping to mean “Shit, they rang the fucking bells. They rang the bells! They took away my pretext!” I think she wanted to burn this shit to the ground from the get go and blamed Cersei for chickening out and depriving her (Dany) of the ass-beating she (Cersei, at Dany’s hands) deserved. I…

The bells didn’t make her go crazy. It alerted her to a choice:

Thank you so much. This has been so clearly Dany’s arc since early on. She was ready in Season 1 to take King’s Landing with the Dothraki horde and she’s seen first-hand what happens when Dothraki attack a city, and her only contribution is “don’t rape so much.” Her insistence on reminding everyone how big her army…

It seems I’m one of the only people who still likes this show now, because apparently the idea that a show whose only long-running theme that rulership by birth is destructive at best and when led by ill rulers is horrifying in totality, ending with yet another ill-ruler with a longstanding history of…

I COMPLETELY disagree with your Brianne take. That shit was totally plausible, and after harboring big feeling for Jamie for years, to finally have him come to you like you always wanted, only to have him leave like that? I would be upset if she hadn’t burst into tears.

Sansa doesn’t want Dany. She straight-up used a Littlefinger tactic, telling Tyrion the truth because she knew he’d run and tell Varys. Hell, she planted the seed of Dany’s demise that nullifies her claim to the throne.

I mean yes she’s very strong, but look at the entirety of her character since the beginning. She literally has not valued herself from the very start. The only reason she’s even involved with the Starks was because of her love for Renly. Everything she has done in the show was the bizarre extension of a promise she…

I like this version:

Idk, but I’m sure that, eventually, every 3rd article on Jez will be about him...

... but wasn’t taken seriously by doctors.

Chris Pratt sullies the legacy of Andy Dwyer and dishonors the service of Burt Macklin.

This is a regional thing so I’ll forgive the total lack of mention or recognition in the article or comments: The strange, falsetto live-action Snow White, along with the dancers with elaborate, bowl shaped headdresses are from Beach Blanket Babylon, a satirical musical review that began in San Francisco in 1974, and…
