The Iron Bank would have paid the faceless men to assassinate Cersei, then through an impostor wearing her face, order that all debts to the bank be repaid. And/or, the Tyrells have an army and a lot of money. Olenna would have paid to spread dissension among the masses, who were already fond of Margery and hated…

Great, now I’m going to have to waste even more money buying those NECA Yeager dolls. For my son, of course. For my son.

Forget the wall between us and Mexico, can we just wall off Florida to keep the alligators, pythons, and crazies from spreading?

Sansa: We have to take Winterfell.

She begged him to wait? That was AFTER she told him they had to fight to save Rickon, and she told Jon SHE WOULD DO IT HERSELF IF HE DIDN’T HELP HER. That’s what people mean when they say “No good deed goes unpunished.” Jon did this because Sansa INSISTED on it, and then she said, “no wait, don’t do that.” And when…

Cersei and Sansa are both focused on the petty game. Jon (and Davos, and Tormund) know the game doesn’t matter in the face of the White Walkers, but Sansa hasn’t been exposed to that particular threat . . . yet. And there is a nice parallel happening in King’s Landing, where Cersei is so focused on her own game that…

“It was not adjusting to the issues and events on hand” — Jon is the one who sees the real threat for what it is, not Sansa. Sansa is still playing the game. But Jon, Davos, Tormund — THEY know the game doesn’t matter anymore. But once Bran arrives, I think Sansa will change. I think she will trust Bran in a way…

For f-’s sake, Sansa did not “save” Jon at the battle. She lied to Jon from the start. Getting someone into trouble by lying to them, doesn’t mean you “save” them later. She lied about where her knowledge of Riverrun came from. She insisted Jon immediately prepare to battle Ramsey when he had just been brought…

Yeah, a part of me thinks she couldn’t possibly have been serious in what she suggested. That’s what happened to Winterfell, after all (taken from the Starks and given to the Boltons for their loyalty to King’s Landing), and didn’t they JUST finish taking Winterfell back?

When Jon asked the houses to fight with him, it was NOT for the individual glory or power of Winterfell or House Stark. He expressly told everyone the real battle was against the White Walkers (and we, the viewers, know this to be true). The whole point of taking Winterfell was only because they needed a united…

I don’t have a problem with Sansa questioning Jon (even though I think she’s wrong) because it has a “good cop/bad cop” vibe that I like (i.e., they better appreciate good cop Jon, because bad cop Sansa won’t be so easy on them). But she effed up the battle with Ramsey from the beginning — SHE’S the one who insisted…

I can only hope these two despicable assholes knock each other out.

Yeah, if the tennis racquets don’t get them, the pool skimmers will. 

Nice drawing . . yours?

Yes, but you’re getting mad at the wrong person. Do you know who caused pain to those friends and family? The deceased woman. It was HER action that caused her family the most pain, not some random, anonymous, bored person posting on an internet site. The deceased woman deserves criticism because her stupid and…

So two despicable assholes are going to make millions of dollars for a few minutes of fighting. Ain’t sports great. My only hope is that they mutually knock each out and on their asses.

I agree it does NOT release the second parent from their duty to care for the child. My point is that the FIRST parent to abandon a child gets very little repercussion, if any, while the second parent gets ALL the responsibility. A parent who abandons a child should face consequences when something bad happens to…

Ok, you convinced me with the Trump reference! I didn’t think it could ever happen in real life, so I suppose it could happen in fiction.

“unless they go completely off the grid” — nope, just, for example (one that I’ve seen with my own eyes), work as a mechanic on a “cash only” basis. It’s very easy to shirk any responsibility. 

I’m looking forward to it, but the one thing that diminishes it for me it that Lena Headey is just too good of an actress. That’s a problem because the show, the audience, and the producers love her, and will keep building her character up as a result — even though, realistically, that character should be long gone,…
