I like to imagine the ice skating date was laughing at him, not with him.

I heard one theory that he’s actually Lyanna Mormont’s biological father and will also be given Last Hearth when it’s all over. 

It behooves the show to give him a purpose if they’ve kept him alive, but they’d have to invent that purpose because Beric is already dead in the books. He sacrifices his final life to revive Catelyn Stark’s corpse after the Red Wedding. I’m pretty sure the character only exists to let Melisandre know that it’s…

I’m pro chest trimming. Not shaving or waxing, mind you, but trimming.

Vogue described their shower as large enough for a basketball team, so you most definitely would not feel squeezed in there.

I don’t necessarily see the merits of jail time, but there are so many poor women of color in prison for lying about their address to give their children access to a better public school district, so I feel a certain satisfaction and parity of justice in seeing the same punishment applied to a wealthy white woman.

This question gets asked on every article, as if there’s some bias at play. It’s because there’s not enough evidence regarding Macy’s involvement. It’s clearly not a gender issue if Mossimo is also facing jail time. 

Oh, this is definitely happening.

Her child with Robert was stillborn. Either this one will be as well, or she will miscarry, or simply die pregnant. Three children means three children, not four, or five.

Are we supposed to sing the headline in this cadence? Because I sang the headline in this cadence.

The flayed man makes sense! Thank you.

That explanation for the astrolabe makes me relax a little, but I’m still a little concerned about that White Walker with the severed head.

I think Cersei’s prophey will play out more literally, with Jaime or Arya the most likely candidates to kill her, perhaps while still pregnant. If anyone dies in childbirth, it’ll be Dany while birthing her child with Jon. It makes far more literary sense since both their mothers died in childbirth and it calls back…

• Can a woman inherit lands and titles ahead of a man? The answer to that question in most of Westeros is “no,” but it’s “yes” in Dorne.

I’m not sure about blowing up Winterfell, but I did notice that the frieze in the opening credits which previously depicted Robert’s Rebellion —a dragon being slain by a stag, lion, and wolf, then later all the animals/sigils bowing to a crowned stag— now shows a dragon flanking a White Walker who is holding the…

I loved (read: gasped out loud) the change to the opening credits. For the earlier seasons, the geography of Westeros/Essos was crucial to understanding the scope of these intersecting plots. The new title sequence brings us inside the castles to let us know that the interior blueprints of Winterfell and the Red Keep…

You’re the second person to point to Cersei’s drinking as a reason she’s not actually pregnant which strikes me as odd reasoning for a show based in the quasi-Middle Ages given that alcohol wasn’t categorized as a birth risk until 1981.

The witch’s prophecy, which has borne out in every other way, stated that Cersei would have only three children. So either she’s entered menopause, which I doubt because Qyburn examined her, or this child will die in the womb.

He cared about his brother. You could see he was half ready to shrug it off if it had just been his dad.
