Yeah, um, not having it that the doofus sitting next to her was the one asked to be ruler of Westeros. They should have nominated her and then she could have been all, yeah, I’m gonna stick with secession and ruling my one kingdom, thanks. Also, it’s interesting to me how the fans and audience who spent years loathing…

3 main takeaways:

Speaking of the Deadwood movie, which I was excited for until about an hour ago when I had this realization - so we all invested ten years into GOT to end up with a, at best, pretty unsatisfying ending. Deadwood’s movie has been over dozen years in the making (figuratively) since it’s cancellation. What if next…

So pardon me if I missed this - but IMDB has no casting listed for the voice of Iorek Byrnison nor Pantalaimon. Anyone hear who might be taking on these roles from other sources? Frankly, my love for the story was mostly dominated by Iorek and once he was no longer really a part of it, it waned for me. Definitely…

I used to work for a bookstore and scored the first volume of this as an extra books on tape. The Books on tape included a full BBC cast instead of just a narrator doing all the voices. I listened to it on a battery operated tape recorder during Hurricane Isabel and the days without electricity that fell after. It was…

I used it for the Seattle marches!

“Gonna drink a Diet Dr. Pepper, donate to an abortion fund, and call it a day.”

Seriously have been wondering the same for some time. Guess I should watch? It can’t be as disappointing as the wrapping up of Game of Thrones...right?

That’s what’s already making me so mad about the ending - obviously, they have to kill off Dany now. So what do they plan to do with Drogon? A)Kill him B)he becomes Jon’s dragon. I will be so equally pissed with both outcomes. This show made me watch for a world with dragons and now they are just going to have to kill…

You don’t think the politicians in Georgia et al. will be more than happy to arrest women of color for getting abortions? Again, it’s not about the fetuses at all. There’s plenty of white kids in foster care having school lunches taken away from them. Your theory makes sense in so far as they’ll be less likely to…

Right - he vocally told her that he’d call out her shit to her face when he thought she was going down the wrong path. Instead he’s conspiring behind her back because she said the same kind of posturing, hot-tempered shit (that she has proven she can be talked out of previously) that Robert, Joffrey, Tywin...did…

This makes me think about how they had signed on to do that alt history drama where slavery was still a thing. Yeah, definitely the two dipshits I trust to handle a saga with that kind of underlying theme and setting.

THIS. She is not acting any worse than any of the asshole rulers we’ve seen and she HAS tried to act in the best interest of the people she has freed/conquered many times even if she was naive when it came to going about it and often failed the first few tries. None of the other rulers we’ve seen have been good…

I just wrote a much less succinct version of why I’m totally with you on this on the other GOT recap thread. Last night’s episode was utter horse shit almost in its entirety.

I pretty much hated everything about this episode. I kinda hate Jon Snow and how stupid AND underserving of Dire Wolf companionship he is. I hate how they’re painting Dany like she’s a crazy person when she is acting no worse than any male would-be ruler ever has on this show (except Tommen, and actually much better…

Agreed on all points. Will add that folks’ puritanism about Arya’s getting it with Gendry is also a hot take that’s making my eyes roll out of my head. 

I literally woke up thinking about this gif this morning and wondering if it would return today. THANK YOU! YOU’VE LITERALLY FULFILLED MY HOPES AND DREAMS FOR THE DAY.

See! This speaks to my assertion that Scott was gaslighting us with Covenant - you had to literally go back to the beginning and question your senses on everything! And the crazier thing about all this is Scott kept saying he heard the criticisms leveled against Prometheus and was answering them with Covenant but what…

I was so hoping...so hoping...went to see it with another Alien fan and my husband who is a pseudo sci-fi fan and as the credits rolled we all just sat there dejected. I was actually really angry at how bad it was, particularly with all the articles coming out before hand about “Ridley Scott heard your Prometheus…

That is the best, most accurate one sentence review of a film I believe I’ve ever read. Brava.
