Daughter before an uncle. But again, the problem is that it doesn't work that way. Robert's claim comes from a non-Baratheon, so to trace it back through the Baratheon line doesn't work.

That's ridiculous. She doesn't have fame or talent on their level. It's not like all the nameless white male standups are getting Louis CK money.

While Bamford can absolutely match him in quality, I'd be shocked if she had viewership numbers anywhere near his.

Sure, but Netflix should then respond with "nope".

Yeah, I'd be surprised if she has Sarah Silverman numbers, let alone Chapelle.

Sure, but then if they ask for too much we make fun of them and no one gets mad. Netflix knows if it pays Schumer less it can lead to waves of complaining thinkpieces and potential bad PR, while no one is going to be bothered if they pay Theo Von in half-eaten sandwiches.

She wants lords to bend the knee as she becomes a monarch, so I would assume not.

And so the less popular/famous comedian got the same amount of money for a worse special. Progress?

Sure, why not. Show them walking the ocean floor to grab it from a boat or something, I don't know.

For "random goon Other", not "Night's King who one-shotted a dragon".

The chain wasn't made of ice, it was metal. So "where'd he get it" is a legitimate question. Boats? I can't imagine the wights operate forges and smelt metal.

Well, sure. Good effects don't fix bad writing.

Kevan could have *maybe* seized the throne, but he's definitely not the rightful heir.

Really? I think Essos sounds like an nicer place to live if you're not a slave or being raided by the Dothraki. And even then, the difference between being a slave in Meereen and a Westerosi serf isn't the biggest.

The problem is that the Baratheon claim comes from the Targaryen blood, not the Baratheon part. Tracing it back to the Baratheons is like if they made Kevan the new king after Tommen's death, they just married in.

Hey, it makes as much sense as the Sand Snakes conquering Dorne.

I never said he was just a guy who made a mistake, I just don't think it's hypocrisy or gaslighting.

In terms of "both are a radical change to the character's appearance that couldn't just be glossed over"? Yes. But the pregnancy is in some ways worse, because if they wrote action-heavy scenes for her she'd be unable to do them, while the piercings wouldn't affect Pete's occasional slapstick. And most sources I've…

Or just regular lying. Not everything is gaslighting, that term has become ridiculously overused recently.

She made a decision that massively interfered with the show, and then didn't tell anyone until way too late. Imagine if Vincent Kartheiser showed up on the Mad Men set one day with a face covered in piercings that couldn't be removed. Do you think they would write in a plotline of "Pete gets super into piercings at a…
