I’m surprised you even own a television to see him in anything at all.

He will be in Christopher Nolan’s next film, so he already fucked you there

Some have argued the show set up her descent into madness for years, but it’s just not true. She was repeatedly given that opportunity and she always stepped back from the edge of insanity.

Um, sure, but you don’t go and name your fucking children off of a character from a fictional TV show about dragons and incest.

I named my cat Tyrion (he’s a little lion).  I regret nothing, no matter what happens in the finale.

The show never portrayed Tywin as a villain.

Bud, I was addressing a specific column, not some blob of “you”.

No one who blindly pursues power because it’s their birthright is good. She was never a good person. She was always a spoiled, power-hungry child who had been raised to think that she should rule over the lives and fates of other people because of her blood.

“Either way, when you build someone up as dragon queen Abraham Lincoln...”

Lincoln’s goal in freeing American slaves wasn’t to use them to build an army to take over Europe. :P 

I genuinely think all that you needed was 1 more episode that was primarily Dany at Dragonstone and Cersei refusing to see how much of a threat she was. That would build in all of the logic behind their choices. Just seeing Dany as she refuses to sleep and eat, as Varys seemingly tries to poison her, as her paranoia,…

I also hope that it doesn’t result in you becoming a jerkass to the people that didn’t enjoy it until the end and would rather it have ended a different way.

This is the issue with having a show such as this. I have actually really enjoyed this season. However, if Dany did not do what she did, and to the awful extent that she did it, we would justify it in our heads. We would tell ourselves that Dany did what she had t do. IPeople did that with Stannis after he burned…

I do think that it oversteps to say she committed genocide. She did not target a particular type of person or the entire nation. It’s not like she went in and said “Kill all the Andals.” She sacked a city. She did it brutally and with mass number of deaths, but I think we’re throwing around the genocide word a little…

Why does everyone seek out a strategic reason, if she has gone Mad? Mad means irrational. She may not have been looking for a reason, and if she was, the reason was irrational.

“Any criticism of the show ... is dismissed as “but it was FORESHADOWED only idiots couldn’t see that.””

No, not any criticism. Just the one that’s based on people willfully ignoring the years of foreshadowing.

“(and there’s a LOT of it – the RT scores have tanked and that petition just cleared 400,000)“

Well, since GoT…

she specifically said “the people in meereen rose up against their masters as soon as i arrived.” the people in king’s landing didn’t! she found them complicit.

The issue stems from the general pacing of this crammed season which falls on D&D because they didn’t give time for the real paranoia and madness to breathe. This makes it seem like a random, snap decision. The “Previously On” segment honestly lays the groundwork for her decision to burn King’s Landing more than the…

Haha, nonsense, you’re spoiled children who are throwing tantrums because you didn’t like the way your bedtime story ended. People worked their ass off to deliver one of the most visually stunning pieces of television ever and it’s not perfect enough for your impossible standards. :P

...and I’ve noticed a real trend with a different brand of edgelord (which is one word, by the way,) who had strong feelings about how the show was going to go getting super upset when it didn’t go their way.

remember, the sword of the edgelord cuts both ways, my edgy friend. ;)

Remember the mailbag from a couple weeks ago when someone asked you this?
