Sarah wasting away in her house is the best and the saddest example of your first line. In a show filled with darkness and savagery, it still hits hard.

My most charitable reading is Lynch is saying this is how the show would have turned out if it were made per fan expectations. You can never go back, the old gang is not going to do the same charming quirky things 25 years later. But as you said, there's always a possibility he thinks Rogaine James weeping into his…

I'm not going to let you stand here all by your lonely self. When you take off the fan glasses, this sounds like a reasonable take.

Quibble 2: If they can invent new languages, can they not stylize the carvings properly? These looked like, "Hey storyboard artist, sketch some shit on these walls."

I think this episode was shown from the Lannister army's pov. They're just soldiers following orders and not necessarily as shitty as their bosses. So kinda hard to cheer them getting flambéed.

"You suck LIttlefinger, no one sends regards."

Nah, Nymeria has a great taste in music. He's dead.

What do the other two dragons do, boil tea?

He sees another low-born making it big and feels uncle-like vibes is all.

I gave a side eye to Dany because burning down food was a dick move. Horsey stakes for the winning Dothraki hordes I guess.

Littlefinger giving a sleazy eye to everyone at Winterfell, I wonder if the recipients of his gaze have to take many hot baths to wipe off the stink.

J Lannister has made a habit of losing battles.

I'm getting confused. How do you tell a racist lying blonde woman Kellyanne Conway from a somewhat similarly named racist lying blonde woman Kayleigh McEnany?

Your last point, succinct and reasonable,

I'm more evil than all of you so here's my wish. I hope he serves a long sentence, every day filled with mind-numbing dullness. All his money gone, no headlines, no notoriety, just a dreary life of a poor person in and out of the joint.

He's been tone deaf on women's issues elsewhere too and I'm pretty ok with him getting shit for it. Major side eye to the "economic anxiety" comment too. Like poor black and brown folk don't have that in addition to other grief? No politician is perfect, I like him up to a point where he's trying to wake up the dem…

"This most recent Gallup poll was particularly useful because it broke down abortion attitudes by partisan affiliation, revealing some fascinating historical trends. Interestingly, the percentage of Democrats identifying as “pro-choice” has increased from 56 percent to 71 percent since 2001. Similarly, a Pew Research…

At least he's modest.

I'm specifically referring to democrat women. They form a large block. Pissing them off for the "heartland" voters is dumb as fuck.

Dem women voted for Trump?
ETA: I'm also being hard-headed here. Pissing off your biggest group of supporters is not a bright idea.
