Considering humanity’s track record with inventing new technologies, Bostrom’s option 1 seems much, much more likely than the others.

I beat both Dragon’s Lair and Space Ace. Took a lot of time and money. And needless to say, I was not one of the cool kids.

They’re called the “reformers”, not the “outsiders”.

Will one of the endings be a B-52 strike, I wonder?

I’m with you on this. Looper can only be considered good by people who haven’t actually thought it through.

All I can say is...

I think that’s a line from Dr Strangelove. ;)

I think they put a horn in that stash, but didn’t call attention to it, because they wanted to leave their options open. Now it seems they’ve dumped that thread. And no non-reader noticed anything.

Exactly. The natural interpretation is that the title simply refers to Jon's actual parentage coming to light.

Throwaway line of the episode: when Sam says Bran was north of the wall for "years".

I sincerely hope that Arya won't just announce her presence at the gates of Winterfell. She benefits enormously from being thought dead.

"The biggest question I had in this episode as a book reader: has the show spoiled George’s plans for the Nymeria reunion?"

"Ancient libraries used chains to make books difficult to remove. "

The chains are there because someone half-remembered that some medieval libraries had them, but couldn't be arsed to look up what they were actually for: locking the damn books in place.

"He said that actors sometimes have to say something is “a great movie” or “a great experience” even though they don’t really mean it, but Infinity War “is the opposite.”"

That, too. :)

IIRC the Lannisters do retake Dragonstone in the books. At a great cost, though.

@Kumagoro They were wearing Lannister armor. King's Landing has no "troops" of its own, just the goldcloaks.

You ask where the "armada" went.

Who run Bartertown?
