That’s a good point. I was trying to make it obvious that he was doing the old “I’m sorry everyone got so upset,” without actually apologizing for anything, but I probably should have made it clear that he did not walk back his original statement. I’ll update it to add that now.

the headline was a joke

You don’t remember that conversation between Bronn, Tyrion, and Jaime like 3 episodes ago where they said that all the great houses were founded by sellswords?

The Rally was admittedly a mirroring of S3? when she first acquired the Unsullied as her army but agree the turnaround was ridiculous.

I knew that goddamned bunny was beating a war drum.

There isn't a war with brown people that right leaning individuals haven't cheered on. They may regret their choices in hindsight after decades have passed, but new war is like the beginning stages of falling in love for conservatives. 

Cant say what GRRM is going to do, but the show has made a point that prophecies are 10% truth, 40% coincidence, and 50% garbage. They are meant to entice our characters (Stannis, Dany) or trap them (Cersei).

Euron can sense main characters from 100 miles away. It’s one of his powers that he has.

I call Shenanigans on this! Door Dash has operations going pretty much 24/7 across the entire USA & Canada including Hawaii Not to mention they are currently in operational tests in Australia. If they don’t already have a operational 24/7 war room to deal with their fly by night contractors (Dasher dashes right into a…

Hmm.. You know, I bet all it took to put Graham in Trump’s pocket was Trump asking Graham if he really wanted to get in a pissing match and have Trump publicly questioning his sexuality day in and day out.

I live in SC and have yet to meet a conservative (aside from the clearly sheltered and naive home-school types) who doesn't assume Graham is in the closet. None of them seem to care at all. The religious ones are just happy he keeps it quiet.

“This report is a total exoneration”

Public discourse is all well and good, but that’s not what you get from Meghan McCain. She just attacks you and then plays the victim. She’s not interested in debating two sides of an argument because debate requires you to actually listen to someone and reasonably accept what they’re saying. McCain doesn’t listen to…

I would argue the execution of the Tarlys was the right thing. By standing strong in that moment, she may prevent a lot of other deaths as people are now aware it isn’t worth trying to test her or count on her being some weak little girl they can manipulate. Sometimes a display of strength early prevents having to use…

Nnnnope. Theon was taking over Winterfell to prove he was a big man and make his father love him. His father ordered the invasion for power and his own pride. Daenerys is trying to take the seven kingdoms to end tyrannical rulership and destroy an unjust, cruel system. She is justified, he was not. She executes people…

Being an outsider with a bad family history doesn’t require you to be a tyrant. It is why she has to hit the enemy army so hard and fierce; to prove herself. That isn’t tyrannical behavior, it’s commanding the respect of your opponent. She can earn the faith and trust of the people after she defeats her enemies, but…

Basically “the good guys” (pretty much everyone who was at Winterfell at the start of episode 4) have every conceivable thing they need to simply win against the bad guys (Cersei+goons), but for sake of story they made people act stupid as hell.

SPOILED?! She was raised a slave, sold into sexual servitude, and treated like property most of her life. She had literally nothing. She endured abuse after abuse for at least 17 years until she began finding ways to claw some semblance of control back for herself.

Except it is. She gave them every opportunity not to get executed and they refused. It was their choice. By following through, she sent a message that she means business, and will likely prevent scores more deaths.

Something that bothered me was Arya’s decision. The writers had an opportunity to have a beautiful callback to Ned’s prediction for Arya’s future in the first season. And it would have made sense for Arya to abandon her childhood idea of being a loner after all of the heartache, hardships, and terrifying encounters…
