Sadly. The dogs will realistically need to be put down after this. You can't reclaim an animal that has become trained to think humans are food

Yeah, it was weird. I kept waiting for the other shoe to drop but there was zero subversion in this episode. It was shockingly… Straightforward?

All you have to do is watch Spartacus to know Lawless has some serious acting chops.

The studio might have been wary of the LGBT subtext but the writers and directors sure weren't. I did a rewatch of the whole series two years ago and by season two they are barely even making an effort to be coy about it.

Yup. Smalljon will bite it but as Jon takes Winterfell we will get the equivalent of "Sorry but Ramsey is in another castle"

CW right now is in that rare sweet spot where they still have that newbie "fuck it we'll try anything" attitude, but they've also had just enough success that they can affford decent production values.

Well, the "tall, dark and handsome" thing IS indicative of a lingering "blond = upper class, perhaps a bit effete" perception as opposed to "dark hair = rugged manliness" perception for males. It's not really in the mass consciousness in modern times but the echos of it are still bouncing around. See: Daniel Craig's…

I have a theory that the Jim Gordon thing is a misdirect and Simmons will be Darkseid. Probably far fetched but maybe?

Wait. Jaqen H'ghar isn't a real bet. It's a null concept.

*shrug* He clearly went through a period of severe "alcoholism weight gain" so hes probably sensitive about it all. But rhe better long term strategy would be to just.let it go and, ya know, focus on getting back to making relevant music.

Tonaly, they are basically 180 degrees from each other.

"I think everyone should go a little easier on the faith militant."

This may be the only time I ever say something nice about Trump but props to him for holding the eagle at all. I've done it and those things are stone cold terrifying. And I didn't even have something that looked like a dead rodent on my head to further get the birds blood flowing.

Easier to CGI orderly ranks of Lawful Neutral legions than masses of Chaotic Neutral hordes.

Even if that isn't a major factor going forward, it should be. The Waif, as portrayed in the show, is arguably further from the path of a Faceless Man than Arya.

Um, you can be a liberal and still think this story line is fucking stupid.

You lost me at "It makes perfect sense"

Are you suggesting an equivalency between Emilia Clarke's aesthetically majestic bosom and a wart encrusted cock? Because if so sir I may have to ask you to step outside!

Technically I guess it would be a "predestination paradox". That is, Bran would never had made it to the Tree if Hodor wasn't Hodor. But Hodor is only Hodor because of what Bran did at the Tree.

Maybe there is a difference between the "original batch" made by the Children of the Forest and the flash frozen baby variety? Like they are more powerful or th leaders?
