I think Israel fucked up and did exactly what Hamas wanted it to do when it retaliated for the terrorism and rapes and murders. I think Bibi should be fired into the sun.

I hope he survives the movie and runs again.

Step in what? Israel’s right to exisr?

Hard same. I don’t know why but I’ve been calling them kitties since GoT and it doesn’t help any.

Makes me hope they actually do show the Cannibal at some point when they finally get to the feral dragons, since he’s supposed to be at least as big.

The deviations from the source material are so much better on this show than on Game of Thrones, where they were almost always bad.

I love how every time they show Vhagar taking flight, it’s like a kaiju monster rather than “just” a dragon. Makes me hope they actually do show the Cannibal at some point when they finally get to the feral dragons, since he’s supposed to be at least as big.

I am older now (obviously) than when I watched GoT - more emotional instead of more cynical, though.

Story-wise, it would end the war too soon if he died now. And his dragon isn’t dead. 

Those poor dragons. All that crying and shrieking as they’re forced to fight, terrible. Dragons should be free and loved.

I suspect that when GRRM decided to pull the trigger on that joke, he never in a thousand years suspected they would have to call actors in a full goddamn HBO prestige drama those names. It’s sort of like when Games Workshop named a bunch of throw away background character stupid nonsense, and then a decade later…

Parenting grades for the episode:

“I wonder if she knows that Cole and Rhaenyra had their own regrettable night of passion once upon a time.”

I get having in jokes, but I don’t know this one falls flat to me.

Yes as I learned last week and after rereading the book, the Tullys are all named after Muppets, Grover, Elmo etc. No I do not understand why he did this. I understand this as much as when in the original Game of Thrones book, three Valesmen help Catlyn Stark and they are named Moe Larry and Curly with slightly…

Kevin Bacon told this story on Graham Norton years ago. FWIW, it’s a pretty funny story the way he tells it:

Just want to point out that the new Kinja AVClub way of putting another article under the first decides that this headline, after talking about David Crosby’s sperm, would be this

Was he as good on “The Sarah Silverman Project” as he was on “The Sarah Silverman Program?”

“Where was Helaena this episode? We got one teeny glimpse at her”

To any non-book readers, no, you didn’t just forget that Alicent and Viserys had a fourth child. One of the weirder adaptation choices in Season 1 was that Daeron was never even mentioned once, and we only had a statement from the producers to let us know he hadn’t just been cut completely and was in Oldtown.
