Or Ted Cruz.

I can see that too. He knew Ramsey was bad, but not that bad.

Yeah, but we don't see people like Ramsey every day in the real world - we do see righteous zealots who would prefer people like me be locked in a dungeon and have no problem manipulating people's sincere beliefs to get what they want. I do agree with you, show-wise, but our modern world informs a lot of the fan…

That's exactly how I read it. It's funny - so many comments bitching about Littlefinger's plan being 'stupid' or not making any sense, when it probably boils down to a mistake on his part. Heck, if he knew the psychological profile of a minor Bolton bastard, never seen until after the war and only recently made…

Dunno, doubt they'd switch sides to join an army with wildlings. Probably figure if Jon wins, he'll allow the wildlings to stay, but if Ramsey wins he'll drive them off.

Absolutely. And I think the TV show exacerbates the distortion to his story as well. If it was 15 years but the characters were in stasis, the distortion, while present, would be less.

I assume they skipped LSH in part because it would make resurrection too common. Jon's return has to be unique is some way to signify he's the chosen one (since you don't have pages and pages to explain the AA stuff in detail).

"Pfft…none of them even have a katana!"

Ha! Every time he entered, I keep thinking, "Claudius! Gandalf! Look out! That guy is evil, don't let him user your bathr….noooo!"

too soon

My guess is the Dorne plot line, in the books, will eventually boil down (in the larger arc) to "a war with the Lannisters" and the show figured they needed to show at least some reason why. Oberyn's death wasn't going to be enough to get Cersei to engage in said war, but Myrcella's death will. I'm not saying it's…

very generous

I'd say "exaggerating" instead of "lying", but I absolutely agree.

Reed Smoot was a prominent Mormon and, as US Senator, authored the Smoot-Hawley tariffs that essentially doubled down on the Great Depression (or caused it based on your particular brand of economic theory).

"The Post was lurid trash"

Aw, man, the old accusing someone of "fake outrage" when they call you on your preening narcissism. I mean, you took to time to wedge your hysterics into an unrelated discussion and everything, but taking time to reply to you is "fake". I thought you might be an actual person with opinions and such, but I'm…

Ah…a troll gimmick! NIce! Well, you can high five your fellow fart sniffing Williamsburg bros about how you totally stopped sexual assault forever because someone said they didn't like a comedian's show and you totally called them out as a rape supporter!

It's not every day you see someone hijack a reprehensible act like raping scores of women over decades and use those victims as a platform to make it all about them. I'm sure they'd be happy to know that their suffering allowed you to show the world just how Righteous you are. Perhaps you can find a way to make…

I've seen Buress a couple of times live and he is funny as fuck - too bad it translates better here on a dead end pilot than the show that was actually greenlighted.

Ah, of course, a snarky comment about a poorly performing (critically and commercially) show that suffers from numerous faults - aimlessness, an over-reliance on guest stars, failing to play heavily to the strengths of the Buress - is read into in such a way as to provide another poster the opportunity to let you know…
