    Maybe Gendry will row by and save him

    In the books they have more importance due to their connection to the Stark children & their magic abilities. They haven't shown it as much in the show probably due to partially to budget/working with animals issues/paring down the narratives. It's also their house's animal so it's doubly significant in that way.

    "The Years of Rice & Salt" by Kim Stanley Robinson indirectly deals with that b/c the premise is that the black plagues killed off most of europe, so they don't rise as a major colonial power throughout history. So the people who mostly interact with the americas are the chinese, which ends up leaving the native

    per the small amount of googling I did, it looks like they sometimes do for children about to undergo cancer treatments (they usually undergo a couple weeks of fertility treatments). However they can only extract them from girls who have already gone through puberty, for girls that haven't they freeze ovarian tissue

    I thought it might be a reference to Gaiman's short story "Nicholas Was" (which would be sort of great). Barring that, solstice is also a pagan festival that christianity co-opted in a lot of ways (as they did to pagan festivals of spring) so it might be a reference to that as well - since it occurs close to christmas.

    poor Piz, he was clearly the superior choice/nicer person, too bad Veronica was a bad Logan addict (they're both miles better than Duncan though)

    They were worried about the mandatory testing of Kira Rachel insisted on as terms for Sarah's release. So basically still Rachel/Dyad, because neither Sarah nor Mrs. S trusts her/them.

    She definitely seems to have drunk the most kool-aid too. Idk there just seemed something off about her (especially with the 170 year old reveal- is the rest of the camp older than they seem? what weird modifications have been made to them? i have questions)

    well we already sort of met the man bear, I assume he's the dude who attacked Sarah at her campfire? Maybe it's a jekyll/hyde type situation w/the 170 year old guy.

    Seriously. It was time last season, tbh. Or maybe the season before. I'm so sick of Jasper at this point, his death was a relief more than anything
    (though now that he has died, he's passed on the mantle of The Worst to Jaha, so we gotta get rid of him next).

    they don't have nipples though (they release the milk through pores in the skin and their babies suckle on the milk patches) and as I said, inside the pouch which these dragons clearly don't have.

    clitoral chimeras?

    ASOIAF dragons probably wouldn't based on what we know of their biology. They're ostensibly warm blooded and lay eggs so it's probably unlikely they have mammary glands tbh- more like monotremes (or birds) than placental mammals . Some monotremes have mammary glands (echidnas) and some don't, but they're usually

    That would be good too! Really anything to get Iris away from being damseled constantly (they need more badass ladies on this show in general, team flash/assorted villany is kind of a sausage fest).

    combine the two! dragons with tits!

    Maybe a spin-off with Bronn of the current cast (and then only if it's mostly him singing), or a prequel series from waay back in Westeros' history (Fall of Valyria, maybe something from the Age of Heroes or the Dawn Age even). The Dunk & Egg stories might be fun too. Or anything with Wargs or the weirder magic

    or like Parks and Rec style

    Considering the whole Manderly pie & Rat Cook song thing from the books, a ASOIAF cooking show would have dark connotations

    Man, that reveal was just the worst. I'd sort of guessed that it was future barry (b/c ofc?) but right before the reveal had started to hope that maaaybe it was some future version of Iris instead (just b/c it'd be an interesting twist and it would give her slightly more agency in this extremely boring arc).

    Why do they have to cure her? Can't they send her to someone who can teach her to use her powers already? I hate that having powers somehow automatically makes her evil, it's such a boring way to write her.
