Well, I am not faulting him, no need to defend him, and I know that poem well, thanks! :) I did a whole university course on Kästner and on “Exilliteratur” during WW2 - both sides, the artists who left/fled and the ones who stayed - were convinced the other side had it soooo much easier. ‘Tis always the way, I guess.

THANK you! Sheez, Americans, your “original” is actually a copy of a German children’s classic, which - let me just be clear here - is vastly superior to any disneyfied American version, hmpfh!

Aren’t the costumes and the jewellery amazing???

I love Tormund but - I can’t help but ship Brienne and the Hound! Actually, I kind of want Brienne to end up with her own male harem of Jaime, Tormund and the Hound!

Oh my God, Turkish soaps ARE amazing! I am watching the shit out of Magnificent Century at the moment, and that modern-day 1001 Nights one (with the same actor who plays Suleyman). They are on German Netflix, but sadly only the first season each.

Also, how can a wight breathe fire when fire kills wights?

I actually presumed they were playing Littlefinger, but then got so confused by their convo alone in Sansa’s room, and by Arya being all hissy fitty over stupid things. That wasn’t some clever plotting by the writers, it was just bad, bad writing. None of it made sense!

I actually read about a German celebrity’s regression session and he found out he was a rural monk in Poland in the 1940s. I also read about someone finding out she lived in an Indian village and was a pretty simple farmer’s daughter (died young). It’s not true that people only see themselves as celebrities or “cool”…

I watched that too and Kylie really seems to be devoid of any emotion or motivation - it was so odd to watch! I felt kind of sorry for her. That scene where she went to the prom was...freaky.

I had to look at the pics after your comment and hot dayum those ARE really nice! Don’t care if they are fake or natural, they are a thing of beauty - if I had the money, I’d totally buy myself a pair like that as well.

Because he knows that what he is doing is morally corrupt and he hopes people won’t notice if it happens close to the weekend.

Actually I dislike her character quite a bit, but it’s totes cool that you are making sweeping assumptions because I don’t share your opinions about someone’s acting skills.

I take it you never read Anne McCaffrey’s Dragonrider books...?

THIS! They aren’t given much at all by the writers! I feel that Emilia Clarke in particular is acting up a storm to try and convey Dany having the hots for this dude she only just met. The writers are given them barely any real moments, just this whole bend the knee bullshit.

I don’t get how people can say she can’t act. She was acting up a storm in episode 6 to show how Dany is slowly falling for Jon! I really feel people just want to hate her, no matter what she does. She was throwing some serious fuck me eyes at Jon at that beach - I absolutely buy that she has the hots for him.

Personally, it’s just because it’s been too long since I’ve seen Kit Harrington naked.

He was also delightful in the GoT musical skit!

Pretty sure you’ve never read anything on Jezebel if you think that’s what the advice there would be. It’s literally the last thing any woman would advise a fellow woman to do, given what the known consequences of a bruised male ego can be. Hint: Margret Atwood has quite a popular quote on that topic.

I always appreciated Sansa precisely because of what you describe there: the fact that her “badassery” is coded as “feminine” - she doesn’t have to learn “badass” fighting techniques to survive, she uses the weapons she has as a “girly girl”, so to speak. I think season 2 shows this so incredibly well, how she defies…

That one was so weird! The Hound is one of THE most seasoned fighters on the show, and smart as fuck. Why let him do this bizarrely impulsive, dumb thing?! Ugh.
