They’re trying to get better, but it’s too little, too late. The Girl Scouts, on the other hand, are wonderful!

It’s a mixed bag. As far as the national organization goes, the Mormon church has managed to exert a lot of influence and is the driving force behind all the homophobic policies that they’re just finally emerging from.

Tyrion did not mention them in his battle plans only when he talked about them not attacking Kings Landing with eh Unsullied.

A tainted glove? Now I’ve got to (do-do) run away!

I think it was Joffery in the show. I think it was implied that he overheard Cersei complaining about Bran and he decided to make them proud. It was also the explanation for why you would pay an assassin with a weapon that leads, more or less, straight to you.

My feeling is that the line is Arya saying goodbye to Nymeria. Arya wants Nym to go back to Winterfell and be her Direwolf again.

Nym declines. Arya agrees with Nym’s decision by saying “(you’re right) that’s not you.”

In the books the other Greyjoy brother, Victarion, has an evolutionary experience where his arm is given to the lord of light, and burns from within. Euron’s whole thing is finding some mystic power and artifacts in the Doom of Old Valeria, and I got the impression from the explicitly numerous wounds in this battle…

It’s not the risk to the patient, but to the doctor.

It’s not that the suffering is too much for the person with the grayscale — the people in this show aren’t overly burdened with sympathy.

My mileage was varying and not because of the many impure thoughts Nathalie Emmanuel inspires. It was a sensitive scene with two wounded people seeking solace with each other and with the man far more afraid than the woman.

My favorite parts were Tyrion and Jon commenting on each other. Seeing Tyrion’s face light up on hearing that Jon was King in the North was just priceless, kind of reminded me of Thor’s “We know each other!” And vice versa, part of Jon’s justification for going South was that he trusts Tyrion, and even Sansa…

Arya is becoming like The Hound.

Samwell Tarly is clearly going to write a history book titled A Game of Thrones,

Nymeria was left alone too long, and no longer has any connection to the Stark family.

So was anyone else super disappointed that mad scientist Qyburn’s super secret dragon killing weapon was a freakin’ ballista? I was really expecting some awesome alchemy mumbo jumbo. Ignoring the logistics of hitting a dragon in flight with a ballista (I really hope he’s planning to make a lot more than one of them),…

Kristen Ritter/Jessica Jones is a blessing to the MCU and Netflix street level side. I laughed so hard when the elevator door hit her.

Seriously. Marvel’s best films involved a man dressed like a flag, another in flying red & yellow armor and another with talking raccoon & his best friend a talking tree. But somehow Iron Fist wearing ceremonial garb is where they draw the line. WTF!?!

Bucks County, for when you absolutely can’t make it down to Florida.
