It’s not so much that you don’t want him out until 5am all the time.

It's like watching Aerys at the tourney at Harrenhal.

It’s for the primaries, and whether you have to register by party and whether or not that limits which primary you can vote in varies by state. Some states are open. You can be any party or none and vote in any primary. Some you can only vote if you’re registered with that party and only in their primary. Some you can…

I see Lady Lyanna Mormont grew up and became a judge.

In fact, there is a story that has been posted frequently abut a 20-yo intern for some state legislature somewhere whose middle aged male boss told her she was not allowed to go fritter away time in the bathroom because he knew women just used their periods as an excuse to not work. She explained that if she did not…

It is so damn hot here in South Florida, I bought a portable unit to enhance my central A/C and ceiling fan + box fan setup so I can sleep at night.

Every day, and I don’t have any problems with it. I live in Florida, there is no way I could stand a sweaty head drying off and spanning multiple days and getting sweaty again like...*no*.

The only acceptable excuse is that he’s directing all of season 8, Cary Fukunaga-style.

Interesting. I’d say that the female-penned articles in question are not even vaguely interested in providing a comfortable location for identification by the reader. The male-penned ones, you think, are there to allow the assumed male reader to slip into the narrator’s perspective? So, the more of a non-entity the…

Oh, he could certainly die. But that’s true for anyone.

Well, the point was internally within the ep, to set up some tension over who was going to be Lord/Lady of Winterfell.

But two things, though.

The same spoiler source who accurately spoiled the rest of the finale - most of it - said there was a Littlefinger/Jon/Ghost scene immediately after LF got done with Sansa @ the heart tree. Jon threatens him with Ghost, basically a “leave Sansa alone” thing, and LF responds that he can give him information about his…

Well, if Tyrion is a good adviser, he’ll recommend a raven be sent to Jon. But it won’t come to pass because they’ll discover his parentage. Tbqh, the other two contenders are Jaime, who Tyrion has been defending to Dany on the daily, and Tyrion himself. The latter is the best choice, since a fairly strong situation…

But the Starks do intermarry. Ned’s parents were first cousins. It is established that first cousins marrying is common throughout Westeros, including the north, including Starks. The Old Gods seem to have the same opinion our own world held for millennia. Incest is siblings, parent-child, and…

First cousins marrying is legal even in our world, for the most part. In Westeros, it is common. Tywin and Joanna Lannister were first cousins. Sansa’s grandparents were first cousins. First cousins isn't incest in Westeros.

How is first cousins marrying different from siblings or aunts and nephew marrying? Well, it’s different in that it’s not frowned upon in Westeros, for one thing. Joanna and Tywin Lannister were first cousins. First cousins marrying has always been common, and it remains common and legal in much of the world today.…

She didn't look pissed at all. She was smiling. She looked wary because Littlefinger was pissed, but she was fine before that.

But the Targs raised their kids soaking in normalization of incest. The North follows the old gods and they prohibit incest specifically. It’s up there with kinslaying and violating guest right. So Jon wouldn’t think it was ok.

Shh, you’re ruining the elaborate fantasy I’ve built around the personal lives of these total strangers.
