It's probably easiest to just chalk it up to inconsistent writing, but a real-world explanation could be that the armor of a wealthy nobleman/knight like Jorah would be a much higher quality than that given to an average foot soldier.

Anyone think Jaime actually ends up dead here?

Maybe Arya is Azar Ahai? She's apparently the best warrior in Westeros, and back home in the north. Maybe she'll be a badass white walker killer.

AFAIK it was a kind of an accident, brought on by him being given drugged wine. So he actually did die fighting a boar, but probably would have been able to handle the boar just fine if he wasn't drunk/drugged. So he died in a "hunting accident" that was engineered by Cersei.

I went through a period of online-dating like that, where everyone flaked at the last minute, stopped responding to texts as we were in the middle of making plans, etc. Total bullshit.

He's a northerner, and spent pretty much his entire life either in Winterfell or at the wall. None of the northerners are really known for their guile (see: Ned Stark) - that's just not how they operate. It's probably seen as dishonorable or some such thing.

Speaking of reinstating the draft, it's a good idea for anti-war types to volunteer for their local selective service board.

I love how the baptism scene mirrors the earlier scene when Daniel and Eli are fighting and Daniel "baptizes" Eli in the oily mud puddle.

Yeah, I figured that was the case but I wanted to make the joke anyway :)

Is his friend with a yacht Tevfik Arif? Because Trump telling a story to some boy scouts about his friend who was arrested on a yacht for running a prostitution ring sounds like something Trump would do.

A preference for dijon mustard was a scandal for Obama.

upvoted for "meat wallet"

He might be safe from a backstabbing death, but they could still capture/imprison him, or give him a death that's harder to wake up from (like if he was chewed up and in the belly of a dragon.)

Season 8, episode 6, 75 minutes into the episode, a representative from the Iron Bank shows up on Westeros to collect on the debt and finds the entire continent burned and/or covered in ice and wonders what the fuck just happened.

>>We don't see Grey Worm's dick

Wrong.

The "stars and bars" was the name of the first national flag of the Confederacy.
It's not the "rebel flag" that racist dumbasses all around the country continue to fly.

Hot take: the western countries usually are the "bad guys" in these situations.

Counterpoint: slavery is at least nominally illegal, yet still exists today because it's economically viable, and forcing someone to labor for free is cheaper than paying them.

From my limited internet research, shipbuilding records from the 1700s show it would take England & the Netherlands about a year or two to complete a ship, but those ships were larger and more technologically complex than whatever the Ironborn are sailing. Apparently the Arsenal in Venice had a huge industrialized…
