I’m not certain I’m following the sidebar, but as I mentioned above, the dragonglass as a blade against a wight is just a somewhat better blade...and the problem wasn’t killing individual wights.  They made all those blades only for the White Walkers.  Then there was the Giant...which was apparently a White Walker…

Dear Jesus, I remember those stupid suction cup clip boards and other accessories. In the late 80's they were everywhere! People suddenly had car phones and bag phones, and for some reason it seemed like having something to write down notes upon was of critical importance. Whether or not you actually had a phone!

I loved Aemon’s death and funeral. For me it was in the background of Jon’s final season arc and why his ultimate fate felt right. Aemon showed him how a Targaryen could die peacefully of old age (the only character we saw do so) without anyone starting wars on his behalf.

Then what did they need Gendry’s smithing abilities for if they were casting/forging iron or whatever?

I do think it was poor writing in that episode for major characters to seem like they’re about to die, but just remain alive for no particular reason, while all those untold numbers of redshirts around them die. But then the Dothraki & Unsullied re-appeared somehow to attack King’s Landing.

And now the story of a story of a warring kingdom, and the producers who had no choice but to keep it together

I would just like to say that your attempt to compare a rich white fan/owner shoving a player, who had zero interaction with him or his family, because he felt entitled to do so, to a well known black GM being stopped by a cop, supposedly because his visible credentials weren’t visible enough, and then allegedly being…

I can tell you how this is gonna play out now. He’s probably already back in Canada, so he’s out of their jurisdiction. And the Canadians won’t extradite one of their own. But Batman has no jurisdiction.

Also people are once again only grasping on the surface level details. GOT was never just “That show where anyone can die at any time. Isn’t that amazing?!”. Besides, none of the major character deaths were just for the sake of killing a major character, as some seem to think. Ned’s death was a direct result of his…

Yeah, I can’t help but get the impression that David and Dan rubbed a lot of creative talent the wrong way. Martin seems to have distanced himself from them, and doesn’t seem to have had much, if any, input after Season 4. And you’ve also got actors, even actors that they supposedly adored like Lena Headey, saying…

This actually was a problem with the “Battle of the Bastards” - Sapochnik took the script, figured out how long it would take to film, and came up with a 48-day shooting schedule, and he was told he had like a week and a half (ultimately it wound up being somewhere in between). B&W had an obsession with the idea of…

We gave Thrones a ton of benefit of the doubt over the years that it was leading somewhere, and that everything we saw that didn’t necessarily make sense at the time was part of a grander plan that would come together at the end.

just saying again, pissing in the wind...the dragonglass was never used for anything...because it was to kill White Walkers, and was only as effective as a really good sword against the Wights...the entire plot of them being on that island...which they apparently didn’t have any way to scout around for a giant fleet…

This is the correct take. The Warriors looked to be running out of steam in previous rounds. Their core players essentially added a sixth season’s worth of games in the process of their last five playoff runs. The Clippers and a completely dysfunctional Rockets team both took them to six games. There are no asterisks.…

“there comes a point when they dig in and you just don’t want to be there.”

He cites a scene between Cersei and Tommen that he shot through bars to indicate the idea that Tommen is, in his own way, imprisoned by the kingdom.

Hate to say it, but D&D made the right decision and maintained a holistic vision for the show’s ending. Excellent direction would have been jarring alongside piddle-poor writing.

First day of freshman year, I showed up for my mandatory meeting with my guidance counselor. I had tried out for the cheer team over the summer, made it, and was wearing my uniform. It was a thing. All the cheerleaders wore them on the first day of school. So Mr. Counselor asked me what my goals were. I said I wanted…

My guidance counselor cost me acceptance to motherfuckin’ Yale. I had a really good GPA, a surprisingly high SAT, and extra curriculars out the wazoo. I applied at a few Kudzu league schools, a few back ups and decided “ what the hell. Send an application on to Yale for shits and giggles”. Somehow my SAT AND ACT scores…

The Guidance office at my high school was useless. They fucked up my senior year schedule and put me in a class that I didn’t have the prerequisite for, and when I tried to get out of the class, they said they couldn’t take me out of it.  So I ended up taking JROTC 3 & 4 concurrently, which in turn, pissed off the…
