I also just felt so happy for their marriage that he could finally tell her what was going on, and they could both be open to working through it. Marriage has rough patches.

When I realized the cheery empowerment pop was actually a Cheerful Al version of “Head Like A Hole,” my brain kind of broke, in a very enjoyable way. Just, “Miley Cyrus is singing NIN but as a pop song, this is fucking gonzo, I am in love.”

Do you mean Slings and Arrows? It’s a TV show. And yeah I disagree with their analysis; the words in Ophelia’s songs had barely-veiled meanings in Shakespeare’s day, and basically Ophelia is PISSED.

Plus Helen Mirren in RED taught me that a spy shooting a spy only works when it’s in the head; anything less is basically a love letter.

Hypothetical, non-existent person: Who’s your favorite First Lady?
Me, forever: Annette Splett.

I dunno I liked the “married to Bill Erickson” curve ball.

I thought it was all the birds, evoking the idea of ravens carrying news of Jon’s parentage (like they oncedid of Joffrey’s). But that might be too generous--I just remember the birds seemed really prominent, to the point that for a second I thought they were dragons.

I was glad they undid his arc, because I thought people were overly impressed by his “redemption.”

He came to care about Brienne in some way, despite finding her ugly??? Well who cares that he was willing to catapult a child over the walls of Riverrun, this man is redeemed!

Nah. He liked Brienne; he loved Cersei; he’s…

I think you meant to respond to a different comment.

God I love how nuanced the trailer version of Will’s backstory is. It’s not JUST gangs, or guns, or his character specifics, or even the cops—it’s all of it leading to one fateful moment. Cooper is a fucking excellent director to convey all of that in a few shots.

I’d love for this specific project to go further, but…

Yeah, this was a confession. Not the same thing as an apology.

Way, this cartoonist really valued bigotry over parsability here. Can anyone explain why Trump has a yarmulke on, or why the Bibi dog is so so long?

We’re talking about it, so yeah, probably.

I felt the same way, but it’s worth it for the interviewer. The nice part about the format is that the reasonable person’s words are in bold, so it’s easy to skim!

Don’t we learn in this episode that Tormund is specifically NOT pansexual? “No, it’s pussy for me” is pretty definitive. 

Even the phrase “loot train attack” apparently makes something in me flutter.

The Starks had more kids! You have to in the North--who knows how many will survive? The Tyrells were too comfy down in Highgarden. 

...That’s exactly my point. Dany has an air force.

Yeah but Stannis wouldn’t, and didn’t, allow that. Not because of a theoretical belief in Rules, but because he believed he himself should be king—and the rules backed him up, so why on EARTH would be step down aside for yet another idiot brother? 

Yeah, which is why Stannis makes more sense in the books. (I haven’t read them, but I’ve read ABOUT them.) In the books he’s not a believer, he doesn’t know about the shadow baby, he doesn’t kill Shireen, and he’s still alive, harboring the fake Arya Stark after Theon helps her escape Ramsay. The Iron Bank guy (whom…
