I've been listening to the Shapeshifter remix of their track "We Are The People" almost non-stop for awhile now.

Yeah, he was entirely endearing to a modern viewer, not at all the douchebag who bragged about bedding thousands of women.

I am totally on board with Cersei changing. Its just that the reasons she gave in the scene didn't make sense to me. When she said "my husband died!" in defense and Jaime pointed out that that was surely something she enjoyed/caused…I felt like he was reading my mind. If she had just said something like "you come back…

Where did I insist on fidelity? I just noted things that jumped out at me, I didn't say all them things were bad.

"- Was there a mentioned reason why the woods near the tavern had burnt, other than "war"?"

Assorted thoughts from someone who needs to be carried:

The point of the religious discussion with Grace is to show the nihilism/religion debate as wrong on both ends. There is no meaning given down to us from on high - the "call from beyond" can never be knowable. But that lack of determined meaning does not end in nihilism - it ends in showing Alicia that she has to make…

Also slash wounds!

There's one obvious way for her to rejoin the events of the rest of the book, and that is being sent to assassinate Dany. Being a Westerosi girl allows her to get much closer than anyone else (why a more senior Faceless Wo/man would not be sent).

ITS LIKE A SAPPHIRE DANGLING FROM THE NECK OF A MUMMY!

To be fair, if that chapter was set from the perspective of a real character, that'd just mean there'd be more internal monologue added to it. Having the occasional furniture-esque observer character can be handy.

I am SO relieved this episode got such an uncommonly high grade. I happened to watch this episode last night after 3+ seasons of not watching Modern Family, and I was like "oh fuck, were my assumptions about the quality of this show way, way off base? Do I have to start watching it now?!?"

It was the best of times, it was the Doge head of times?!?

Well, to be fair, you just made it up that "a pop at" is something real people say.

Josh Holloway is too busy having the entire internet in his mind….like a modern day Johnny Mnemonic.

He isn't arrogant enough to direct episodes himself. He IS arrogant enough to cast his personal dungeon master as Annie's brother….but that's a level of arrogance I can get on board with.

She didn't leave the firm because of men; she left them because her honed instinct is to sacrifice her self as a means of protecting her children. An instinct developed because it is the opposite of what her mother did.

"Wow, bummer that that fictional character died. On a lighter note, that actor with Parkinsons had his real-life comeback hopes dashed, right??"

I feel ya. I say the same thing when people keep comparing the current Crimea crisis to the Cold War. I tell them "Don't be dumb, the Cold War wasn't an important event or meaningful cultural touchstone. It was just some American and Russian teenagers throwing snowballs at each other randomly." Granted I have no…

Character regression is realistic, though. I regress 3, 4 times/day. It is a strange artifice for a character to move along a linear path.
