That's not what ret-conning is. Nothing is being changed. The hints of Jon's parentage have been there since episode 1.

How much you wanna bet I could throw a severed head over that Wall?

Well it also hints that he's a long-foretold prince/warrior that will lead the fight against darkness and winter.

Loved seeing his stupid face drained of all its life force.

If they'd only give us the chance

Loved how so much of it was in a wide shot too, like "Yeah these guys are doing this with no effects trickery at all."

RIP Shaggydog, the shittiest named of the direwolves.

"Ful Stop" is amazing

Green Room, fuckers. Pure ownage. Best of 2016 so far.

Uggh I am trying to figure out the acceptable amount of time to blow off Mother's Day obligation to try to download and listen. Guessing 2 PM EST will be a bit of a shitshow.

I hate all of this

Well they sell out large venues worldwide so that's a pretty shit theory.

Yeah when all the rumors started up about a new album soon I was kind of sad by how little I cared, but after these 2 songs I am fully on board again.

THASSA GOOD SAWNG

She's in 2 and 3 but she's a much stronger presence in 2. Which is the best game anyway.

I did the same thing with the sequence where he traverses the broken bridge over the waterfall. That was mind-blowing to me back in 2008 or whatever.

Ha, I'm doing the same thing but I'm really busy next week so I have to wait a week or so to play it. Gonna be tough to avoid spoilers.

Favorite Decemberists song.

I picked up Sarah Waters' The Night Watch pretty much blindly at the library last week, and unfortunately it has turned out to be yet another fucking WWII novel. I'm only maybe 25% of the way through but that's still enough to feel obliged to finish it. It's good though, just enough already.
