Couldn’t Bran have warged into the horse and sent it there? (And I’m sorry if that’s already been mentioned. I’m so burnt out right now and hungry, so I’m thick as a whale omelet.)

Yes.

I’ve heard people talking for years about the possibility of Gendry becoming king, and I thought it was bizarre and completely out of left field. It made zero sense to me.

I still think it’s bizarre, but now I’m thinking, who knows? Half the shit that’s happened recently hasn’t made any sense whatsoever anyway.

No, I agree with you. She’d understand 100%. I think it’s worth bearing in mind that Jaime doesn’t know relationships or women. He’s only known Cersei. She’s literally the second person he’s ever slept with, and he has no idea how to navigate it. If we’re to buy the whole “Jaime/Brienne” romance thing (which I don’t,…

Yeah, Balerion was the only dragon to have come from Valyria with the Targarians (12 years before the Doom). Vhagar and Meraxes were hatched on Dragonstone. So he was well over twice the age of Dany’s dragons, and much larger.

Agreed. Bronn showed up basically completely willing to kill him, making him realize that even after all they’ve been through with the NK, nobody he cares about will ever be safe as long as Cersei is alive. Suddenly he goes from planning to stay at Winterfell to going back to King’s Landing. There’s no way he’s not…

Agreed. I generally have had few complaints about the series as a whole (yes, even the past few seasons that outpaced the books), but last night’s episode disappointed me in so many ways.

The scene where Dany was being ignored was one of the only things that DIDN’T disappoint, for exactly the reasons you listed. At…

Robyn’s probably still at the Vale, but you can see a lot of Vale soldiers in the battle. They are the ones with the falcon and crescent moon painted on their shields.

Exactly. ASOIAF is based on the War of the Roses. That war ended partially because Richard III was killed, but also because Henry VII married the Elizabeth of York, the daughter of Richard’s older dead king brother, Edward IV, and united the houses. We’ll likely see a Dany/Jon marriage do the same, but if you remember…

I agree. Young girl Sansa thought that way, and she looks back on herself at that time as foolish. I don’t have strong feelings one way or the other about them ending up together, but I don’t think it’s outside the realm of possibility that she’d choose the guy that treated her well and protected her as best as he…

I got mixed feelings about it. I wouldn’t necessarily call the moment “romantic”, but I think that there was a definite moment where she looked at him through the eyes of a grown woman and realized how much worse things could have been (and were). If anything, it was anti-romantic, which brings Sansa full circle. I…

I will say, though, I feel a little ripped off that we didn’t see Ned Stark’s bones hop back together and join the rest of the long-dead Starks in their terrorizing. 

I didn’t find it hard to watch or too dark at all. Certainly, it was a bit darker than usual- but I thought that made it effective. Everything about this episode was meant to put the audience in the heat of the battle, at the same level as the people fighting. Dark, confusing, loud, disorientating, chaotic. I found it…

I loved this episode. Maybe it’s not “perfect”, but I think it’s weird that we’d expect perfection. Nothing is perfect.

And I’m not responding to the article in itself, per se. Just the overall attitude of people not liking the episode or feeling it was lacking or not good enough. I think that watching this episode…

I can see how Bran would see Jaime as an “old friend”, if only for the reason that Bran can how see everything that was, is, and will be. Bran is capable of understanding Jaime more than anyone else (including all the things that made people had him.

Plus, if not for Jaime, Bran wouldn’t be the Three Eyed Raven. Bran…

Yeah, I like the direction they took the character, if only because they made Batman and Superman so deadly serious and dry that it’s become critical they inject a bit of levity into the series.

I love comic books, and I love comic book movies (a lot of the time). I think it helps if you completely pretend that they’re not remotely connected in any way; otherwise it’s easy to nitpick to death.

That said, I haven’t been overly impressed with the DC superhero movies at all, yet. I really, really want to love…

Isn’t that the guy from “This is Us”? Or am I totally drunk?

Everyone on Smallville looked like that, though. Boring.

See, I don’t think the ‘dude-bro’ label applies to Momoa in the least. Dude-bros are the guys who think they’re cool shit, get drunk, rev one another up, then feel up women without their consent. Dude-bros are really only appealing to men. Momoa is absolutely laid-back in a trickster/DGAF/comedian sort of way; he is…

I know he was a little slow to get this, but I’ve gotta tell you that I thought this was fucking hilarious.
