This is so amazingly, 1000% true. The fact that 90% of her exposure to society is via 80's television is a genuinely important aspect of her psyche right now.

I hated Mike’s reaction to Max (way more than I hated Eleven’s, I think more logical, antipathy towards her—at least from her point of view). But I never actually read it as a mirror of Eleven’s feelings and how Max is replacing her.

Maybe. But that implies a level of societal gender-awareness that I don’t think it’s reasonable for Eleven to have given her upbringing.

I get this argument. I really do. I can see how, viewed through the right prism, it could fairly and critically be seen as playing into and tacitly supporting the stale, stupid, “women be crazy” trope.

Okay, I am 100% on board with the criticism that there are too few female lead and supporting characters in TV and movies. That’s undoubtedly true. Not necessarily for nefarious or willfully sexist reasons, but at some point the reasoning stops mattering. And we are probably well past that point.

I get where the authors coming from, and I’ve heard the argument before, but these events simple are not what we consider and catagorize as “mass shootings”.

Also, PR actually DOES have a major shortage of trained medical personnel. Doctors and nurses can just make much more on the mainland.

This is a ridiculous statement.

Nice was tragic, but as many have pointed out here guns do not effect and interface with society in the same way that cars do.

First of all, it’s intellectually dishonest to pretend that you don’t know I mean significantly further regulate the car industry, to the extent that the functional access to cars is reduced.

You’re ignoring the point, though.

That is an absolutely ridiculous statement.

Spoken like someone who has tits.

Can I be both?

But, but, but...she worked downstairs!

I’m personally a big fan of tits. Not so much the dragons.

You make a decent point about Ned’s cavalry experience. On the other hand, it’s honestly hard to say. Not only do we have Randyl Tarly as an example of a accomplished warrior using such a sword in battle, but there is also the unique properties of Valyrian steel to consider, that would have made such blades…

I feel like he almost certainly did in the Greyjoy Rebellion. But do we know the whereabouts of Ice during Robert’s Rebellion?

Really? I feel like Dany would make a TERRIBLE ruler.

I take a little issue with the idea that we should CARE about the sex of the killer/killee or that the viewer reaction should matter...but you’re probably right. God knows GoT has gone out of its way to try and “Girl Power” up the show post-Season 5 (with terrible results—Sansa, Elaria, Asha—I mean Yara—and Arya have…
