Yeah Beric is a little meh, but he’d been resurrected 6 times for some reason.

Right now, Dany’s army is fighting in the north based on 3 essential assumptions.

The notion that Jon fought for the North? All the lords know it was Sansa who persuaded Jon to attack Winterfell. So far as fighting the White Walkers are concerned, why should Jon’s record of failure be so much more impressive than Daenerys’ armies and dragons?

But let’s say she believes them. What is she supposed to do in response to it? She brought her Dothraki and her Unsullied and her Dragons to the Seven Kingdoms specifically to capture the Iron Throne in her name. So if she is not the true queen of the Iron Throne, what is she asking all of these people to fight…

Thinking about it more, I think it’s that we saw Daenerys do the conquering routine many times. Conquering one city, then moving on to the next. Then backsliding to Dothraki hordes, being imprisoned, and destroying that too. I get that she did a fair amount of learning of her own limitations as well as tempering her…

Well thankfully I didn’t say that I don’t like the character and did qualify my statement with “to me” and “seems.” On first watch it all seems like it’s part of the story we’re given (because duh.. it is), but when going back to re-watch parts of an arc of seasons that I really liked, what happens with parts of the…

“It is something that feels right for the brand,”

That’s already happened, to some degree, for me at least. Last night I was scrolling through On Demand episodes to watch near the end of S4, beginning of S5. There was so much going on with Mereen and Sons of the Harpy that seems so completely inconsequential that I just skipped it all. The growth and journey of other…

Smart artists are realizing that there’s more to be gained by embracing the cover whether they hate it or not.

Quesadilla with a side of broccoli? 

Oh yeah, I agree with that, too.  It was just too long a scene for my taste.

Or many of them are just making jokes. That happens sometimes and I’m glad for it.

Benioff, Weiss, and now we know that only Targaryens can ride dragons, but that doesn’t mean that Jon or Dany do. But I thought that scene was stupid for other reasons; it was time-filler fluff.

Yeah you’re right.  I just went with what I could think of off the top of my head. A buddy that I grew up with went to Harvey Mudd so I learned a fair amount about that school and how good it really is.

Next time I’ll grab a list of every accredited college in the greater LA area + San Diego area when compiling, that way no one is left out though I was merely citing examples.

Yep! LMU as well.  But c’monnnn... they’re no USC!  /s

I agree.  I saw one ranking that someone else pointed out that had UCLA a few spots ahead of USC, for whatever that ranking’s criteria is worth.

Ha! Yeah it’s one of my favs too.
