Asshole.

GRRM has said he wished the show could go on longer. I imagine some of what he would have addressed in another season or two includes this kind of thing.

I liked Bran’s words to Theon too. He rarely gives compliments.

I feel like an anthem should be easily singable, especially by a crowd, like in a church or a stadium. This anthem has to be sung by experts to really work.

I don’t know, but they don’t get paid nearly enough.

Apparently it’s a myth that you can’t get pregnant if you are breastfeeding.

Did anyone else love Tormund’s desperate attempts to impress Brienne? The whole giant’s milk thing, I think he totally pulled that out of his ass.

Ideal anthem: This Land is Your Land!

I think there’s a rule somewhere that the American flag must never be displayed lower than any other flag. But what happens when other countries have the same rule? Do they fight it out?

Holy crap! I don’t know what I was expecting, but I didn’t think it would be THAT bad. And the shots of the poor orphans who didn’t seem to be much cheered up by the song...

It’s not pedantry. It’s correct, despite the fact that lots of people use the word wrong.

Chemicals make the world go around!

It does you no favors to insist on using a popular but incorrect belief about what a chemical actually is.
