I'm saying it *does* make sense given her (stupid teen) mindset. Like, the action logically follows but that doesn't require the character to have "depth" in the sense of maturity or complexity.

The point is not that she has depth (she's a dumb teen) but rather that the decision made sense in context of her characterization.

My movie tastes are a bit unconventional. I only watch movies that refer to the actual form of media in the title, like The Emoji Movie, Scooby-Doo: The Movie, A Serbian Film, etc.

Kevin, thank you so much for picking The Assassin. I like beautiful, glacial arthouse movies as much as the next nerd, but this movie was excruciatingly dull and I was struggling to "get" why everyone adored it so much while I was watching it. I'd advise a viewing of Curse of the Golden Flower for someone who wants…

You may want to sit down for this: other critics work there.

I think Littlefinger knows exactly how far to push to put his targets off-balance without being killed. He was fairly confident that Jon wouldn't outright kill him, because Jon is bound by his sense of honor. LF is a verbal manipulator, after all.

I was always a fan of the idea that the game of thrones has really always been Littlefinger vs the Spider, up until the very end.

It's a Ren Fair.

Part of me would love to believe the public squabbling is at least partly a show to lead LF into a trap. But unfortunately we've already been shown a scene between them where they are really just not good at business meetings.

I think people would be more chill about it if they weren't so cagey in the show about how it all worked.

See, adding this kind of stuff would have made the direwolves' narrative purpose much clearer and more interesting in the show to me. Although I guess the CGI was too expensive and they made a choice to just make them cool pets.

I have to doubt that Arya would kill an innocent serving girl. I imagine that the hall of faces is there for any Faceless Man to use and possibly reuse convenient faces, so she must have…. stocked up with some useful ones before she left?

I feel like I don't understand everyone's fascination with the direwolves. Are they supposed to portend something particularly interesting? Is it just because they're slightly big dogs and people do the most for pets? Because so far all they've been doing to me is popping in and out of the show, only sticking around…

I honestly think it's a style at this point to entertain those with nano attention spans. Jenna Marbles used to be one of the worst offenders of this, but she appears perfectly able to form multiple sentences in her podcasts.

I think it's clear he saw an actual mountain, but the double meaning of the phrase was a wink to the fans. Otherwise there are surely other features that could have been the actual line, that wouldn't have had this double meaning.

A castle is actually a pretty rough place to try to squat; no servants and a deliberately remote location without easy access to food or merchandise. If you're poor it makes more sense to squat near town, and if you have enough wherewithal to make squatting in a castle comfortable then you probably don't need to squat.

It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is an Uber to escape the spoon factory

I love how he threw that in to sound relatable but it just sounds godawful

They're really lucky little bastards. One of them grew up 'just loving' sushi, whereas I didn't even get to try sushi until I turned 16. I'm honestly a little jealous they will grow up with such a great palate— it took me a long time to figure out how to enjoy a lot of healthy/diverse food.

Where I live, the average Indian restaurant dishes are like $5-10 more expensive than dishes at a comparable Chinese/Thai place. So people are just less used to it.
