"wiped both Dorne and the Tyrells off the map entirely"
The Tyrells, yes, but not necessarily the Dornish. Euron's fleet attacked when Ellaria was on the way to Dorne to collect the Dornish army to join Dany. Seems to me that there is still a Dornish army, which now would have even more reason to hate Cersei. If…

For the employee, sure, but I'm talking about the rest of the world. However big of an asshole Rahm Emanuel is in the workplace is one thing—acting that way on TV or in an interview is another.

There's a big difference between carrying on & cussing up a blue streak behind closed doors & doing it on the record with a reporter. I'm a teacher & swear all the time, but not in front of a classroom full of kids.

I don't think racism was the ONLY reason—party over country is indeed part of it—but I do think it was a pretty fucking big reason for far more Americans than we would like to think.

I heard he even put his feet up on the Oval Office desk from time to time!

Especially if the headline emphasizes—at it should—Scaramucci's use of vulgarity. If the media balks at using the word The Mooch himself usde, it would be better for them to print it as "[expletive deleted]-blocking" or "c***-blocking" rather than just omitting it. Scaramucci's language—and the mentality behind his…

Seems like a lot of people, Littlefinger included, have been pointing out how he saved Jon & Co. at the Battle of the Bastards. But you're conveniently forgetting that Littlefinger is the reason there was a Battle of the Bastards in the first place. Not only was Baelish the one who sold Sansa out to Ramsay Bolton,…

Nope—that final nail was hammered in at the beginning of the season premiere. Zombie Cat's whole raison d'être is killing Freys. Once Arya does that in the cold open, any need for LS disappears. The Nymeria scene is maybe the fully grown grass over the long-covered grave of the LS story line.

So great, right? Really delightful. Plus isn't it good to see a fundamentally decent person surviving, even thriving, in the midst of everything? Too often on GoT nice guys get butchered, so it's gratifying to see Hot Pie is OK. And that parting line—"I can't believe I thought you were a boy—you're pretty!"—was…

Let's not discount the emotional aspect, either. She's really, deeply in love with him, & that makes a big difference. (Also, I'm not sure we were supposed to think she was having an orgasm right then, that fast. He'd just gotten started—her reaction was pretty strong, but not necessarily orgasm-strong.)

Yup, one of the dragons will be killed by a ballista (I assume Qyburn intends to build more than one?), but it won't be Drogon.

It seems at least possible that she could have puppies, though, right? Kinda like how Hagrid is half-giant? But yeah, we were meant to see the rest of her pack as regular, like in the books.

I dunno. For starters, Sansa is the only full sibling she still has, as far as she knows. Also, Sansa's experiences have brought her a long way, & have proven Arya right about the world. If their reunion involves Sansa apologizes for being the "stupid girl" she was at the beginning of the show, Arya will at least…

My memory is that Arya & Jon only warg in their dreams—i.e., they're not in control of it, & they might not even realize they're more than dreams. That's how Bran started, too, until Jojen Reed taught him how to consciously master it.

I thought that they mostly filmed real wolves & then embiggened via VFX? I don't think the wolves are completely built from scratch like the dragons are.

They were specifically shown having died by their own weapons—Speary Snake was impaled on her spears, & Whippy Snake was hanging from her whip.

Also, as half Stark & half Targaryen, Jon Snow literally & physically embodies the whole "song of ice & fire". That said, there's been much made of a "three-headed dragon", so I'm assuming they'll team up (though not necessarily hook up). Tyrion makes the third head, as he, too, could very well be half Targaryen, &…

I thought the Jim Broadbent maester said he was writing a history of what has happened SINCE Robert's rebellion? In other words, not that book, but a sequel to it, of sorts. So that really would be the stories of the Song of Ice & Fire series.

Also, that's how it started with Bran, before Jojen Reed taught him how to control it.

I watch via Comcast (xfinity) on my laptop, where I can shut the door, put in earbuds, & not be interrupted. (Also, I have kids, who are too young to watch, so that way they can't see/hear it.) Anyways, it's available from xfinity at the same time as HBO airs it, & the "next time on…" & "Inside the Episode" stuff…
