Then again, Dothraki horses somehow ride through…

She did see her brother burn to death, so probably? Honestly, hot as the dragon flames are, I would guess the agony isn't long.

Question of the Week: I don't judge Daenerys harshly for her decision as a leader. I think this is foreshadowing of her upcoming descent (temporary or permanent, it's unclear) into madness. She will have something bad happen and be tempted to torture or kill like her dad.

Wut?

Daenerys Targaryen = Sherman? Burning slaveholders alive… man, you finally made me like Daenerys!

In his defense, she was being super annoying until that point.

Do showwatchers even know about the Warhammer? I can't recall them making much of a deal of it on the show.

I feel even more certain that Cersei is going to sabotage the war against the Night King. She will either destroy the Wall (with Euron, maybe) or cause a massive disaster in a campaign that messes with Daenerys.

There's still a few hours left in the day, but I assume the reference was to the rally.

What is this, Horseville? Because I'm surrounded by naysayers. Wordplay!

Is everything "failing" if you don't like it?

Fair. I guess my point is that the news should never have employed people like Lord, Lahren, Lewandowski, etc. Not because they have horrible views (they do) but because they're really not effective communicators and they hamper any legitimate purposes of news programs.

I mean, I kinda agree with him. He should never have been on the air for other reasons - mainly, he's a really intellectually useless shill of a morally and philosophically bankrupt administration. Also, he lacks the ability to engage in thoughtful debate when pressed.

That's fair. My only counter is that the very nature of how TV is produced and sold makes this likely. (Movies and books too, to a lesser extent.) Ultimately, a great show has a long game vision and lots of character exploration. But you're selling to a group of people who may not care about or believe in your…

I definitely have fantasized about DJT taking himself out if his polls get too low or Mueller gets into something troubling.

Regarding your first paragraph: I can't believe I'm saying this but I'd like to read your fan fiction.

Agreed entirely. But there's more to explore in both of the characters and I'm sure we'll see it.

I see both of your points. But I think we should just call it for what it is - it was a very aggressive device aimed at the pilot. That pilot HAD to end with an aggressive wrestling match that shows the emotions of the characters transferred into the ring. And it did that. The only way to address McGillicuddy's…

Things 2017 Makes You Think:

YES! There are two moments near the end of season 1 (at the fundraiser) where she does that sudden shifting. Once when she's talking to Bash's mom and gets insulted stealthily. You see her processing it as a compliment, realizing what happened, wanting to get upset, then just getting sad. In seconds. And then her…
