The problem is that the show has a distinctly anti-incest tone (the Lannisters; the way Viserys treated Dany in episode 1; the overall legacy of the Targs), while the books are neutral about it (it’s an acceptable political power play). It’s just one of those things that came out in a slanted way when the showrunners…

You know it’s fantasy because the worst legacy of Targaryen inbreeding is improbably perfect hair.

As far as genetic ties go, it’s a terrible idea for them to have children:

That’s assuming that the aunt’s parents weren’t brother and sister, which Dany’s were. Someone calculated it and they should share about 44% of their DNA.

Added evidence: Robb getting himself and Cat killed, Rickon’s pee-wee football-grade evasive pattern, Sansa anywhere in the first two-to-three seasons...

The party can’t groom someone for office because that just gets called “DNC meddling”.

I’ve been hearing a lot of “wait until the young ‘uns grow up and start voting” recently. Young people are the ones who love trolling/memeing/shitposting for Trump/the alt-right and think the whole thing is fucking hilarious without caring about the consequences.

Jon and Dany share a buttload of DNA.

replies to comments seem to be broken for me on this one post for some reason, so: now that HarveyCapeguy points it out, Audrey being trapped in some parallel universe would explain a lot of what’s wrong with her situation right now. That would be pretty wild.

Excuse me, Cheryl, I believe you forgot someone.

I don’t recall where exactly I read this, but either Madchen Amick or Sherilyn Fenn (I think Amick) said in an interview that David Lynch told her that he’d be willing to do more Twin Peaks if people liked this season. And people seem to really like this season (I know I do) so I’m cautiously optimistic :)

The only reason I have a showtime subscription is for Twin Peaks. No Twin Peaks season 4; no money.

hasn’t been a ratings smash for Showtime. But it’s created a huge uptick in subscriptions

Please please please please please please please please please.

both are the emotionally traumatized subset of a larger group would probably be a better way to describe it

You have a weird view of what an atheist and feminist are. Where did you come up with those definitions?

Wow. Ok, then how about, “I don’t mind Asian people, as long as they don’t live in my country.”

No, you don’t get too involved with labels:

athiest exist because they are tired of religious individuals

Say what, now? I am both an atheist and a feminist, and call bullshit on your comment. Especially that last line.
