I think you are right that it has been extra nasty lately. A few weeks ago there was a series of hit pieces on Pete Buttigieg and I decided to stop reading for a while. I don’t know if the time away made me more sensitive or if Jez has simply gotten worse, but when I came back I couldn’t believe how mean and negative…

And probably, “This is my wife and how I deal with her is none of your concern.”

Odds that he said, “Don’t you know who I am?” when the police arrived?

Considering where the writers went with this, the ending wasn’t bad. There was no way that Jon was going to be left to roam free in Westros as the “Danny Driller’n Killer.” A Bastard And His Dog Dire Wolf.

Well, better than the screen getting all wavy and we see a top down view of Hodor waking up, realizing it was all a dream and then laughing, “HAHAHA HODOR!”.

After the bells, i didn’t know how this last episode would go but it was a much better finale than i expected. Poor Drogon, at least he got revenge on the thing that really killed his mom, The Iron Throne. Now all Bran needs is an Iron wheel chair. I do kinda wish he fond Drogon as an after credit scene.

That scene with the mistress was breathtaking, I had to rewind and rewatch.

It was a gorgeously done finale even if it did feel sped up. The Richard Splett ascent has been so delightful to watch. The writers went full throttle dark, but any good sadist knows you have to throw in a bit of pleasure/light. 

How is no one talking about the return of Sue?!?  Sure it was brief, but I gasped when I saw her.  I loved her character and missed her as the years went on.  It was awesome to see her and her deadpan delivery and continued disdain for everyone around her.  

Eh, I disagree, but for a specific reason—her rage was all about catharsis. She tried the best she could to follow what she thought was her destiny. She did all the things, she sacrificed everything to get to where she was—she even let herself love Jon (I guess). But then she couldn’t have the love. She said it…

It seems I’m one of the only people who still likes this show now, because apparently the idea that a show whose only long-running theme that rulership by birth is destructive at best and when led by ill rulers is horrifying in totality, ending with yet another ill-ruler with a longstanding history of…

“What is dead may never die”

I said in another comment that I think it’s hypocritical and gross that the women on this show (and men, FWIW) talk down to her like they don’t pull the same idiotic shit she does. Just because they’re in their early 30s doesn’t mean they’ve grown out of the terrible relationship behavior that someone as young as…

I’m happy that Ghost lived and I don’t even mind that they are sending him beyond the wall—the animal population up there will need to be restored after all—but couldn’t Jon have at least patted him on the head and said ‘good dog’ or something at least ONCE?

I don’t have HBO. I just hope everyone has a nice time and does their best.

It’s also not a huge sign of growth that she insisted on drinking even though she was told by her doctor that it’s destroying her stomach. How is it possible to make Jax the voice of reason in any situation?

I honestly enjoy that Arya is the one who saves the world. It feels like an arbitrary choice

The Night King couldn’t pass the wall due to magic, and didn’t have the means to destroy it until he had a dragon. If Dany hadn’t gone up and saved Jon the Night King would likely still be trapped north of the wall. At bare minimum, he would have had to assault the wall manually which would have seriously depleted his…

Yeah, that was a nice little moment. It goes back to when she was playing the “game” with Jaquen. She said the Hound was on her list, Jaquen hit her. Something like “you lie to yourself” or something. Even he knew (from her body language/gestures) that she didn’t want him dead.

I’m so excited to see how this all plays out for TYRONE
