Maybe the fact people get bored of it should be a revelation that people don’t really find it particularly important?

The biggest issue with the season was the absolute breakneck speed in which things that should matter were simply cut off abruptly at the knees.

Episode 5 did us no favors by giving us no clue as to why Dany chose to burn the city at that moment; fairly enough, a lot of people assumed she snapped. Then episode 6 showed that she hadn’t gone stark-raving mad, but it still didn’t explain why she chose to massacre a bunch of civilians for no specific reason.

The embryo can’t live without her body.

If parents are largely legally responsible for their children up to a certain age, then why can’t the mother be responsible for the ultimate fate of the embryo?

Trump not mocking reporters is also offensive.

The fact you think human offspring and cancer are comparable highlights your diseased mental state.

Excuse me, Trump mocking the disabled is offensive.

Perhaps I’m missing a big piece of the puzzle here, but if the general line of reasoning is that Natives would be better off without the western world having come here, why aren’t Natives fixing their own problems? You don’t need the US government here, you don’t need non-native citizens here, but you seem to be…

The problem isn’t the definition of “life”, the problem is the definition of “person”, because it is with “personhood” that you’re suddenly bestowed the right to not be killed by other people. But “person” is a fairly empty legal term, not a scientific one. The Wanganui River is a “person”, so you can see how…

How about the opposite? If women are the sole decider in whether they have a kid, why not pass laws that disallow them seeking child support?  If they conceive, and choose to go ahead with the pregnancy, then that’s squarely on them, right?  Or are we arguing that it takes one to tango when the choice is to abort, and…

Just to play Devil’s advocate here, but how is this comparable?

I call crack pipe on that wine simply because there is no way it is worth it. I don’t care how fine it is aged, it might be good, but there’s no way it is $5,000 good. Anyone willing to spend that much money on a drink is an unhinged lunatic, and needs to be institutionalized.

The thing is, the more I examine Dany as a character, the more her “turn” make sense, because I’m starting to understand it wasn’t a turn at all.

I think the thing about Dany is that she didn’t descend into madness, because she’s always been mad. We just never had an opportunity to understand the breadth of it before, because her madness always managed to coincide with events or justifications that obfuscated it with a veneer of goodness.

I suppose the argument could be made that nobody is forcing you to have a baby anymore than someone forces you to have a cold.

I get it that she was always set up to be this. It’s just not anticipated that she kills innocent civilians for nothing.

Episode 1 was good. Episode 2 was good. Episode 3 was pure trash. Episode 4 was fair, except the idiotic way Rhaegal’s death was written. Episode 5 was fair, except Dany’s turn didn’t feel justified enough.

It really isn’t THAT sudden though. Yes, I’ll agree, the moment feels off, but perhaps the moment was always going to feel off, because the show has always wanted to play Dany as a good person. It is hard to accept the moment where she isn’t. But hell, even last season, Dany was like “Hey... maybe I can burn people…

Dany wanted vengeance against Cersei for killing Missandei. Dany was angry at the people of King’s Landing for not adoring and exalting her as the “Breaker of Chains” savior she was admired as during her entire tenure in Essos. For all her illusions of compassion in previous seasons, Dany has always been about making…
