Yeah, there was a great post this morning on Reddit (I know!) where they pointed out that there was an easy way to fix this episode and make it far more narratively cohesive: instead of killing Rhaegal last episode and just kinda letting that death sit there, have Cersei fake a surrender as a last-ditch gambit, ambush…

She didn’t have to spare Cersei. She could have happily gone full dragon queen on her alone.

God. This show. It’s like they’re doing things just to do them. Forbes had a good article up about how things happen on this show just because. There’s no real rhyme or reason to a lot of the characters’ actions. Jamie’s whole redemption arc was for nothing. He wound up back in Cersei’s arms. What was the point in her…

The funny thing is, I thought she had beelined straight for the keep! We see her getting angrier, then a long shot of the red keep, then Drogon takes off, ostensibly in the direction of what is driving her.

That’s my problem with the ep, in a nutshell. I don’t hate where the characters ended up, but there’s a distinct lack of connective tissue to explain why.

Yes! I completely agree with where they took Dany’s arc, but they needed to build up to it better so it didn’t just seem like her being really f-ing stupid when she’s essentially already won the war. It seems like the writers focused on getting to their endpoints without bothering about continuing character…

Thing is, it was so telegraphed for so long, I was about as surprised as Varys about his death. I think I didn’t question the fact that she only killed him for it because a) she still needs Jon (and his Northerners) and b) she thinks she can use Tyrion the showrunners still have a plot point for Tyrion somewhere and…

Yeesh, if you actually read my original comment, it’s plain as day that I’m not blindsided by the notion of Dany’s Targareyn madness, but rather disappointed by the show’s execution in illustrating that madness.

I’m crossing the aisle to Team “Fuck This Show”.

Hang in there. It sucks. My mom had either a heart attack or stroke at 62—I wasn’t prepared, she was “fine” earlier that day. She had a nice woman who came to clean the house every so often—that’s who found her. Painful shock, I was so lucky to have her—she was Just a really special, loving, classy lady. Just before…

Daeny should have had a snickers.

Would people jut fucking read the play before they propose this shit? The women of Athens didn’t just cut off sex, they also seized the treasury, cutting the men off from the funds they needed for the war. I’m down for the don’t fuck ‘em and start robbing legislatures plan, but it’s a flop without that last part.

Let’s not discount the potential effect of this idea. If we get 100% buy-in from all of the empowered pro-choice feminists who happen to be the primary sexual partners of anti-abortion lawmakers, we could be talking about threes or even fours of people.

No ragrets?

I am sorry you get hate mail for misspelling a word. Life is far too short for that noncence ;)

To be fair, that’s not the greatest photo of Ed. I’ll just leave this here, as this is one of many that makes it difficult to tell who’s who.

I still can’t believe that the weird-looking kid from About a Boy turned out so smoking hot. 

Her hair is fucking INCREDIBLE. As a flat, mousy-haired lady I will never not stare in awe at that spectacular mane.

But SHE’S a cheerleader!

I find myself being a forever cheerleader for Natasha. Forever.
