I really hope they're able to plan things out better and expand the budget for future Netflix Marvel shows. Iron Fist and Defenders just feel like shows they had to push out because it was part of a contract. They're pretty much just ignoring all the set up Daredevil had for the Hand.

Scorsese is just using this as an excuse to do a King of Comedy remake.

Paul Ryan simply ignores all the teachings of Christianity that are against Ayn Rand. Just like how he ignores all the teachings of Ayn Rand that are against Christianity.

They already had Ellaria murder the Martells, so she could get revenge for the Martells killed by the Lannisters? And magically take over with no protest from any of the other Dornish lords even though people love the Martells and she has absolutely no claim over Dorne.

The point of the book is about all the unforeseen consequences of war and how even when there's a "justified" reason to fight, the peasants are always going to get screwed over by the conflicts of the nobility.

Trump can now brag about how he got into a staring contest with the sun and the sun blinked first.

Madame Gao said that they blinded themselves. That explanation was much more interesting. In fact, Madame Gao was way cooler when you didn't know who or what she was before they decided to make her a member of the Hand.

It's a comic book trope. Super villain groups always have characters with diverse powers. Like the Legion of Doom, Injustice League, Sinister Six, Masters of Evil, Hellfire Club, Horsemen of Apocalypse, etc.

The Hand is such a disappointment. They build up the Hand's leaders as being ancient and powerful, but they suck.

A lot of the wights are bare skeletons, that means the Night King can bring back things that have been dead for a long time. So he should be able to assemble the dragon skeletons in King's Landing to make more dragon wights.

Benjen: "The magic of the wall prevents wights from passing through."
Jon: "But our mission was to bring a wight past the wall."
Benjen: "You know nothing, you dumb aunt fucker."

The White Walkers had a permit, did you know that? The Night's Watch didn't.

Jessica is the best. I loved how they show Daredevil doing parkour up the stairs to get to the top floor, and when he arrives, Jessica just casually strolls out of the elevator.

I didn't say Varys started the wars. He contributed to the downfall of Robert's rule by intentionally not doing his job and keeping pretty vital information from Robert.

Varys tells Littlefinger Catelyn was coming to King's Landing. He examines the dagger with Littlefinger and doesn't refute Littlefinger's claim that the dagger belongs to Tyrion.

In the books, Littlefinger's plan would ensure he's the most powerful one standing when peace time comes. He's hoarding food in the Vale. He's buying up all the debt from the other lords. He has some kind of weird plan for Harrenhal, which used to be one of the most powerful castles in Westeros since it ruled over

She's also right about giving the Vale Lords lands from the disloyal northern houses. Because there's zero incentive for the Vale men to be there. Why should they fight and die for someone else's war? But if they were given land, they'd have a reason to stay and fight to preserve their property and wealth.

Varys' excuse about serving the common people was such bullshit. Robert wasn't a good king and racked up a lot of debt, although a lot of it was probably embezzled by Littlefinger, but he ruled over years of peace and prosperity.

The character interactions were great and easily the highlight of the whole show, but the plot was pretty meh.

Steve Bannon looked into the Ark of the Covenant, and the Ark melted.
