On rewatch, I noted an interesting detail. When sentencing Varys, she gives her title as only “Breaker of Chains and Mother of Dragons,” with none of the sovereign titles she’d previously claimed. It’s subtle —too subtle— but it does suggest that, in her despair, she’s resigned to a begrudging understanding that the…

I think it could’ve been clearer but I’d still argue it’s all there in the episode and recent seasons.

I’d pointed out elsewhere that the valonqar portion of the prophecy wasn’t show-canon and might therefore be skipped, but was met with a flurry of voices insisting that there’s no way D&D would alter the death of a major character since it would ruin Cersei’s narrative arc. I do have to say I found that death rather un…

Yeesh, if you actually read my original comment, it’s plain as day that I’m not blindsided by the notion of Dany’s Targareyn madness, but rather disappointed by the show’s execution in illustrating that madness.

Queen of the Ashes, huh? Was I the only New Yorker having 9/11 flashbacks?

Whoever took this fool out of the grey, does not deserve the power to take people out of the grey.

Remember that dad’s BBC interview that got interrupted by toddlers? Here’s the female version:

Lupita and Danai were. Janelle and Tessa were. Lupita and Janelle are.

The tea is that Janelle and Tessa were avoiding each other at the Met Gala, while Japita were super sensually touchy-feely at the afterparty.

All of this gossip news is meaningless! Lupita Nyong’o and Janelle Monae are dating! Did you hear me? I said, LUPITA AND JANELLE ARE A COUPLE! ALL HAIL JAPITA!

Honestly, she was such a saint in the wake of their divorce and Sheen’s later meltdown that I can’t help but think that’s really who she is. She probably put up with Charlie because she has such a high threshold for shenanigans. She strikes me as an incredibly laid back person with a weakness for bad boys. She’s…

Watching RHOBH, she seems like anything but a handful. She’s been nothing but kind, easygoing, low maintenance, and delightfully randy.

Plus since Cersei’s been so effective making the smallfolk fear this invading usurper more than they fear her, they could’ve also used that time to spread pro-Daenerys propaganda in advance of her arrival, sending a bard to sing songs of her dragons and the victory at Winterfell.

Yup. And she insists on this “all or nothing” route, then I hope she’s happy with nothing.

With these shoes!

If I could pick from any of the looks in the exhibit, I’d go with this one:

Also Howland Reed is a living witness to Jon’s birth and adoption.

I think Cersei’s aim in executing Missandei was just to piss Dany off and goad her into a frontal assault of Kings Landing so that she slaughters a bunch of smallfolk and looks like the bad guy. For the life of me, I don’t know why Dany doesn’t just try to repeat the same method she used to conquer Meereen.
