The unnamed Commander of the Golden Company was a more interesting and valuable character than Euron Greyjoy (aka Hot Topic Blackbeard, aka Lord Bam Margera of Westeros).

A lot of Game of Thrones fans aren’t A Song of Ice and Fire fans. They’re in it for the empowerment memes and “I drink and I know things” t-shirts. They call the show misogynistic for making Dany go nuts, as if Game of Thrones was supposed to end happily with Dany and her dragons smooching everyone and building wind…

Too often, people use GOT’s “trope subversion” to had-waive away bad writing. If they weren’t going to give Jaime a full redemption arc, then fine. But the way they progressed his story made no sense.

Hey, wouldn’t it be great if we sent scouts ahead for our ships? No? Okay. Well what about if we get Drogon to flank the enemy ships and burn their sails from behind. No? Okay yeah cool, good talk.

Sam: You’re the best friend I’ve ever had.

I guess they enabled Fast Build along with Fast Travel. 

If they had found a logical way to avoid all those character deaths, people would be ok with it. But setting up everyone in a series of ridiculously hopeless situations and then having all, and only, the principal characters inexplicably survive? That’s dissatisfying. It’s weird that people are ok wi...never mind,…

And Far Cry 3 came out in Nov of 2012.

This episode hit all my sweet spots.

Yeah...looks like an elephant made it to Westeros after all. And it was in the room with Jon and Dany.

Shut up, jerk!  (pushes up glasses)

Barry is that asshole who joins a guild and begs for help gearing up 24/7, who, after gaining intermediate status, will immediately rage quit if his pug has a noob in it, because Barry doesn’t DO explanations.

This is the third comment that seems to equate a dragon ride-along with being a dragon master. Not the same. Not the same at all.

Technical Boy and Media may only be as old as the worship of those things.

I feel like last season missed an opportunity to SHOW Sansa outsmarting Littlefinger to justify Arya’s claim that her wisdom has grown. Because while Sansa has had a lot of formative experiences, I just don’t believe we’ve seen enough successful scheming on her part to give credence to her being anywhere in the same st…

Random thoughts -

On Dany and her lost child: “Strange not to get any kind of sense of Daenerys’ emotional reaction to realizing that Viserion is a wight now? She receives the news, and then we just move onto the meeting.” This a recurring pattern with either her acting or the director’s choice because she barely showed any emotion…

I am beginning to enjoy Bran’s devotion to making everything as awkward as possible.

Well at the risk of further stating the obvious... you made that comment under an article that was whining about how American Gods has not “earned” the right to “depict” a real lynching, plus it included all that self-important bullshit about how the writer wouldn’t SHOW you the lynching, gosh no, but they would…

Did Mel Brooks get royalties for that line?
