No one said anything about forgiveness.

Yes, I understand the logic, but the phrase doesn't communicate any notion of goodness. Spanish-speakers really need to get with the program.

That's a lot to elide. In particular, it makes no mention of goodness or deliciousness: why isn't it [chicken so messy] or [napkins so lacking]?

Right, it doesn't even say "good" which is the main word in the English slogan. Does Spanish not have particple constructions like that?

When I became a vegetarian, it was the last meat I ate (until I stopped being a vegetarian over 15 years later). Like two weeks after making the switch, I had a KFC urge, satisfied it, and that was it.

Boring yet complicated: welcome to the law.

I suppose it's not a movement, but that started for me soon after seeing the movie. Repetitive, unnecessary and self-consciously manipulative in a way that cheapens its pathos.

Yeah we really have no idea about Drogo. But dude never lost a fight.

Yeah but it's my state so there you go. And no one picked Ser Barristan.

It may be that Rickon-as-Reek-Jr. is Lord of Winterfell now.

I get what you're saying but Ramsay is the opposite of a character who forgoes his personal hungers for any notion of greater good.

I felt like that was transparent bullshit—in fact, I thought that was a lie that would reveal we weren't watching Arya; failing that, that it was a ruse of Arya's somehow. But the resolution to her arc in Braavos was such a dum clusterfuck that I don't even know now. I'm still reeling from the stupid, and waiting for

Did you forget Euron Greyjoy?

"Giant's blood"

It's a tough question but this is my answer. I don't know any other movie that works on so many levels at once: action comedy, action parody, buddy cop movie, parody of buddy cop movie, etc.

Almost everything about the resolution of Arya's storyline in Braavos— and I was pretty happy with it up until then—was just… a clusterfuck.

I kind of liked the horse thing. I kind of like it better than the actual thing.

They were the Voice beyond the fire. The Secret of the world of ice and fire is that Varys's twig and berries are now interdimensional genitals capable of raising people from the dead.

There's a narrative need to stop with all the resurrections (in Westeros) now, so really, Mel and Thoros both have to go.

I agree, and given the setup I think if Sandor fights Frankenmountain it won't be as part of a trial by combat for the Faith. And won't necessarily happen soon—they're running out of season anyway.
