Yes, though how many depends on your cutoff. Elise Stefanik (R-NY, b. 1984), Mike Gallagher (R-WI, b. 1984), Trey Hollingsworth (R-IN, b. 1983), Matt Gaetz (R-FL, b. 1982), Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI, b. 1981) and then like eight born 1980 (3 D, 5 R, if you're curious). Weird that Republicans are over-represented, though

I'm 34 and I think the major takeaway from any of these discussions of generation naming should be that the whole thing is a fucking sham invented by advertisers and should be disregarded as such.

I guess it's less interesting to watch or something. I'm just happy that the outcome was correct even if the staging was thoughtless.

I'm pretty sure that happened at least in the books, and probably in the show, but I'm okay with that, too, because the fire was destroying the sword. At least, that's what we're told in the books. Thoros's sword was always ruined after every melee (because he'd light it on fire) and he'd have to buy a new one.

Lannister gets her the Westerlands, which she'll already get from Tyrion without marrying him. Dorne was already hoping for a Targaryen restoration (unless they cut that from the show, I don't even remember anymore) and the Reach should be pre-disposed to her since Cersei pretty much openly slaughtered their entire

I mean, agreed that the books strongly imply that a significant problem in Westeros is that feudalism is a shitty form of government, but I don't think GRRM is necessarily engineering the French Revolution over here and I doubt that D&D have anything of the sort in mind either. Dany is the best you're going to get

Sloppy writing and thinking. Bran's defenestration wasn't planned by anyone, and any news of his fall would have suggested that he was not long for this world. For Littlefinger to have ordered it, he would have had to have gotten word immediately (thousands of miles away), sent word back to have someone steal an

She didn't torch "the food," she torched "some food," and by doing so she blocked the route for the rest of the food to escape during the battle and its aftermath. They literally set up that point during the funny flogging bit where Tarly rides up and announces the danger of a bottleneck at this point preventing them

It's all in the books, and Tyrion also figured out in the show that it was Joffrey and made a thinly-veiled reference to that fact at one event or another when he was drunk and Joff was fucking with him. I'm pretty sure the thing with the dagger was also included in the show, because Littlefinger lied to Catelyn

Dany is Aerys's daughter, which makes her Rhaegar's sister. Jon would be her nephew, and thus junior even if he were physically older.

Jon is her nephew though. It's not physical age that makes an heir, it's lineage. I think women are disqualified from inheriting titles in every one of the Seven Kingdoms except for Dorne, though, so even if he were an infant he'd still outrank her in succession terms.

More "meh-watching" that hate-watching, but yeah, it's gone downhill since they ran out of books to adapt.

He stole it from his step-dad, Robert, who won it from Littlefinger by betting on Loras Tyrell against Jaime Lannister at a joust. Robert had loads of toys, and Joffrey correctly assumed he wouldn't miss that one. Joff was also too dumb to think about the potential consequences of a highly identifiable dagger being

She's a generation up from him. The real threat to her throne is Tyrion, if he's actually a secret Targ, since he's both older and male. I'm not sure Jon has a superior claim even if Tyrion isn't a Targ, because of the generational thing. It depends on what kind of primogeniture the Iron Throne adheres to, I guess.

That look on his face in the long shot where he's in the background. You can just hear him silently yelling "FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU…" in his head.

She torched wagons on the road near a choke point, preventing anyone from moving the other supplies from the Reach to Kings Landing. it bothered me how much time she spent blowing up wagons instead of focusing on the lines of still-unsurrendered men-at-arms right next to them, but it's not as senseless as it

I mean, they're boring if you view the battle against Cersei as a main course, but one of the main points of GoT/ASoIaF is that the civil war is a sideshow of small importance in the scheme of things.

Having a horizontal range of 400 meters is not the same as having a vertical range of 400 meters. Firing up at flying dragons would seriously impair the range of a ballista.

Fair point, though scorpions were not a new invention at the point where they were "mass produced" in Rome. The technology had existed for hundreds of years by the time ballista use became standard for Roman legions.
