I’m guessing a girl is probably pretty set, at this point, and can always pop in for a convention appearance or three per year if she wants some spending money. :)

Why is everyone so upset by the horse? That there was a horse there at all? That not *everything* had been burned to a crisp? That the horse was relatively clean? That Arya happened to find it? I mean, none of these things are that big a deal. I was in lower Manhattan when the towers fell down, and I will tell you…

OH NO EVERY SINGLE LITTLE THING WILL NOT BE EXPLAINED TO ME IN MINUTE DETAIL WHAT WILL I DO

MAISIE WILLIAMS: Thank Christ!

We’re both empaths...

God, the first movie is so good. Fantastically imaginative, just the right side of dark, full of digestible and entertainingly packaged philosophy (Aughra FTW), and centered around (SPOILERS FOR A MOVIE THAT CAME OUT 36 YEARS AND CHANGE AGO, I GUESS) a quest to *heal* the bad guys instead of destroy them.

I really don’t think rugby’s that unintuitive. The key thing is to think of a laster shooting out each end of the ball toward the sidelines at all times, and that it’s not cool to be on the other team’s side of that line. Then, you just have to know the difference between what merits a penalty vs. what merits a scrum…

I will forever be indebted to Rugby World Cup ‘95 on the SEGA Genesis for teaching me the rules of the sport when I dropped American football after two terrible years on a I-AA college team and took up union, instead. It’s actually not the easiest set of regulations to pick up right off the bat, especially for those…

Jesus, that yacht scene is phenomenal. It’s nice to watch that once in a while and be reminded what good directing is.

I’m really glad you put “Sorry” at the beginning of this headline, otherwise I would have taken great offense.

But that’s book canon, no? I don’t recall all that being explored on the show. Then again, show Euron was so gross, I may have blocked all that out from when he first appeared. 

I disagree that the ending is dumb. What it is, is *messy*. Like life.

>Where did Dany get that giant-ass House Targaryen sigil banner?

*poring

I dunno - Jon’s agony over his decision made perfect sense, to me. Keep in mind that this is a society that values its concept of honor and duty INCREDIBLY highly. Aerys Targaryen was a murderous tyrant who almost everyone knew needed to get got, but Jaime was still derided as Kingslayer - even by those who took part…

I once peed after David Byrne in a stall at Terminal 5 in New York City. I am happy to report that he flushed and, as the immaculate state of the floor attested, has impeccable aim. 

The exclusion from Johnny Utah from this list renders it entirely illegitimate. You’re going to call out some stupid meme over an absolute stone classic? Give me a break.

I am kind of over hearing hot takes on how “we” should be approaching this presidency from people who are so stupefyingly rich as to be insulated from most of its worst effects.

This The National record is beautiful, but I’ve been struggling with what to call it. It doesn’t really feel like a “rock” record. It’s hard to picture the band they are now writing something like “Mr. November” or “Available.” So, what do we call this style, beyond, say, “Sad dad music?”
