This is 100% true, and is a position that organizations are pushing DA’s to take around the country—not sure what is so astounding about this concept.

I’m so happy for Hoda.  She seems like such a wonderful mother. 

It’s a whole thing in very insular Orthodox communities, just like it is in gentile communities. Some vaccines can contain gelatin but the kosher limitations do not apply to injections. the Jewish value pikuach nefesh obligates Jews to put the health and safety of their community before any individual preference, and…

Re: Dragon riding. Given that it’s widely accepted fact that dragons only accept Targaryans, why is nothing occurring to Dany? Jon might have missed that in his lessons, but Dany? Her spidey sense should have been going off from the minute Rhaegon let Jon touch him.

The Golden Company utilizes elephants in their ranks. I think Cersei thinks that if they have dragons, she will have elephants? But it’s a bit of a book Easter Egg, yeah.

You’re the second person to point to Cersei’s drinking as a reason she’s not actually pregnant which strikes me as odd reasoning for a show based in the quasi-Middle Ages given that alcohol wasn’t categorized as a birth risk until 1981.

In regards to the whole “riding the dragon” thing, am I the only one that laughed their ass off at Drogon giving the stink-eye as Jon was making out with Dany? 

“Idiots! I said severed arms placed every 25 degrees, not 30! Why are you trying to sabotage my vision?”

I was imagining an arts and crafts section for ice zombies of particular talents, led by a woman who yells at them incomprehensibly, preferably in Russian.

Still don’t get how people thought Tormund and Beric were dead when they’re clearly shown alive at the end of S7.

Brienne is at the first council scene in Winterfell. She’s sitting in the first row and doesn’t do anything, but she’s definitely there

Jerome Flynn said people would come to hate Bronn this season.

Seriously. The Bronn move is to go to Jaime and Tyrion and say, Cersei’s paying me this much, you just pay me more and I’m good! The only way he’d go through with it is if Cersei clearly won and he needed to do it for his own survival in which case 1) everyone’s going to be killed by the White Walkers anyway; and 2)…

I don’t think Beric and crew will be stuck—the trailer for the next episode shows them at Winterfell telling Jon about the army coming.

I’m not so sure about that. Her instruction was to kill them if they manage to survive the war. So that gives him a bit of time to work with them, in the war and make his decision in the moment. I suspect that if the North is significantly weakened by the war, Cece will be Bronn’s best hope for survival and he will…

Regarding the “Last Hearth” wall art...

I’m pretty sure Bran didn’t move for the entire episode. He had 4 things to do and all of them involved him sitting in the same spot for a day and a half or so.

“With so little time left, it honestly shouldn’t be that surprising the show is having to pick and choose those moments when it’s going to try to blow our minds (presumably with the VFX war-extravaganza later in the season).”

Pretty much this, it was a 6/10 episode. Too bad S7 and this one feel so rushed, but what can you do. It’s now about hitting fan service moments as quick as possible. Even if they didn’t have the last books to mine from, each season having 10 episodes as the previous ones would have made a huge difference. I hope the…

C’mon now, everybody knows the black people are chilling out on the Summer Isles, staying way the hell out of all these wypipo problems. The last one we saw noped the fuck out of there when boats started blowing up.
