what would be the absolute worst, most depressing "all hope is lost" scenario? perhaps that he was close to death and survives? that he gets fucking resurrected like Beric Dondarrion?

the mere fact that Dany brought it up this episode means he probably kept the shaft, but at the very least he's lost the balls

if he weren't the masturbatory aid of choice among tweens in north america his career would be over. He pretty much knows this too, he'll probably post pictures of him making out with a black groupie to make up for it perhaps.

the actual part that gets me is the first punch that knocks his whole teeth out, holy fuck.

now there's only bad guys to kill off, am I right?

ok ok, so the actress is 18, the character is considerably younger though and to sexualize her would still be to sexualize the depiction of a minor, the age of consent in Westeros would be irrelevant to us, child brides don't become legal in the west just because their marriages happen elsewhere.

I didn't miss grade school science class, I get that. But that is my point exactly, once the balls are removed the endocrine response in the body changes permanently, you're not simply not producing cum, your thoughts are different than they would have been at most times, your sex drive is massively reduced, etc. The…

he didn't win, Oberyn was brain dead way earlier and the Mountain dealt the last blow, he wins by every interpretation possible

only Walder Frey's ever broken the laws of the Seven so far. Even the judiciary seems to be secular, so perjury isn't an affront to the gods. But trial by combat seems to be some sort of religious vestigial custom, to the point where it's Pycelle who introduces the match.

he considers himself commander of the Queensguard, he forfeited his right to own property

I kind of see where she's coming from, considering the total amount of time where the THINKS Jorah had been deceiving her to the time she fires him. She feels personally disappointed and there's really little anyone can do to stop that.

the kid was slow, he wasn't obsessed.

this is pretty blatant

I didn't like the close ups, not because they don't serve any purpose (they did), but just because I found them aesthetically jarring

It's fantasy, I guess there's some magic poison that has enough potency to kill with an application of the few microliters that could ever be put in contact from a blade against the several hundred pounds of flesh and bone the Mountain has.

I couldn't read Crossed because of that. Although it never really piqued my interest really. The thing with Game of Thrones is that if you dissect every storyline, not much happens each season, this one in particular, the main story so far is… Tyrion's trial. Then, Stannis secures a loan, Kelly C. is mayor for a week,…

Martin's purple prose is probably the first thing people mention about the actual books. It wouldn't bother me if it didn't impact the volume of the whole thing. I only read the first one because of it, but even that one could have been a hundred pages shorter, given better composition.

the books are long, people are taught since childhood that reading a long book has more value over a short one through volume. So…

nobody fights without headgear, except maybe if you were dueling with a smallsword. It's not about whether the helmet could have saved his life, the mountain has a huge one he loses in the middle of the fight anyways. The thing is that in a duel, nobody would ever do that and it makes it obvious the only reason why…

the actress alone is like 16, the character in the book is about 12 and in the show she's about 15.
