Amen. Gendry ending up with Sansa rather than Arya would be too fucked up even for GoT. Arya doesn’t even have to marry him and “settle down.” They can just run around the world being badass and adorable together.

I’m a little worried about Theon sitting the throne at the end, too.

Pep: Up late last night, partner? I thought the Christian Science Reading Room closed at 10.

Nah, I think that it’s going to be mostly a happy ending. Success against the White Walkers, Cersei dead, Danny and Jon Targaryan happily married, etc. The thing is that he has a pretty simple plot theme that runs throughout the books: Strong are destroyed, honorable are deceived, weak become kings/queens and the

It’s ironic that 30 years later, the most unrealistic thing about Robocop is that some corporation would want to take over Detroit.

I would like to point out that Amazon Women on the Moon came out while it was technically still summer and would easily be my number one over anything on this list.

I would swap Robocop and Predator.

I’ll buy that for a dollar.

Reminds me of how I felt about reading Brave New World recently. It just didn’t seem that bizarrely dystopian anymore.

Shit, real Detroit today is way, way worse than the fictional dystopian Detroit of depicted in Robocop.

Robocop may still hold up as a great movie, but the problem is that it’s just not FUNNY any more. All its sarcasm has come true in the past 30 years.

Robocop is #1

Arya kills and replaces Littlefinger, if she hasn’t done it already.

Oh no, she and Qyburn definitely have a plan to try to kill everybody at this diplomatic meeting.

Is that a laden or unladen raven?

Yeah zombie ice dragon is cool and all, but I crawled up my fucking couch in horror when I thought Tormund was going to die without making giant babies to rule the world with Brienne.

Fuck the night king with his fucking icicle spear.
