Plus, who are the Starks’ trusted advisors at this point? These used to be named, recognizable characters. “This guy with badass sideburns is Podrick Cassell, who served as your father’s and brother’s military advisor to House Forrestor. He’s returned to advise you.” 

Well, a few episodes back they crammed everything into a montage instead of pacing it out.

It’s not that “twists” are inherently interesting; I’m watching for good actors to convey complex, believable emotions. The look on NCW’s face when he thought the Mountain was going to kill him is worth sitting through a full season of Dexter to watch.

That was his destiny: he plotted and schemed with an empty deck instead of building alliances through valor.

They backed him in as much as feudal law and custom required them to back him, but the moment a great house they respected took to undermining his rule, they allowed it to happen.

It would have been cool if Bran had revealed all of sorts of things that only Littlefinger could know: “You allowed the redheaded woman from the North to be killed by King Joffrey. You did this, this, this, and this.” And just have his mind blown.

Having not read the books, I’m not a GRRM fanboy, but based on watching the show, he created a complex world with real life historical analogies. D&D and the writers seems to watch a lot of lower tier cable dramas.

What the fuck is Varys’ role, now, anyway?

He he, “thrust.”

Just to be clear here, we’re still waiting to be able to merge “legacy” accounts with Kinja, right?

I thought there was magic in the wall, also, that prevented the undead from moving though. The magic is attached to the physical infrastructure?

I’ll have to show my nephew.

I installed the Kinjaprove addon to Chrome, and I just figured out you have to hit the green button on each article to activate it; they’re so much more readable now!

First I thought you had written “Fuck Square One,” I was like ??????????

You ever ride in a car with Jew? They’ll point out each and every road sign that directs UN forces to invade while kvetching about their mother-in-law’s Seder matzo.

But the entire time Arya was training, we saw her hold onto pieces of herself; that was the whole point of her story. Now, suddenly, she’s fundamentally changed on a dime.

Maybe she should have been out in front of this before the election. I’m sure that most women have had men in their lives that they perhaps even trusted and then suddenly, CREEP. The idea the she went to his wedding, and their kids are somewhat friendly, therefore, he’s not a creep, women live in a different world…

That’d be so disingenuous. They’re both point of view characters, for us to not witness that crucial moment in their character arcs just to to “wow” to viewer would be terrible.

The focus of the campaign was, “Here’s Trump in action... You be the judge.” The voters on the fence don’t care about those things, they care about sticking it to people. If you ran ads about his failed businesses, then, voters could stick it to Trump supporters.

The end game is to aggregate the comments and sell them in blocks to advertisers, which makes it a roaring success.
