Totally. Which is why, according to my foot and marrying for love, Arya will definitely live to the end.

Does Ramsay need the whole dried and preserved fuss of taxidermy? Wouldn't a little necrosis suit him? And can you just let me make "stuffed and mounted" into an even dumber darker fuck joke?

YES, but OTOOH, if said author knows that every one of his throw away remarks spawns a billion new fan theories, maybe implying that Arya can't be killed lets savvy fans think she can, WHICH MEANS SHE REALLY CAN'T.

For Ramsay, there's a redundancy in "stuffed and mounted," no? I mean: taxidermy'd? That's an awful lot of work.

YES. It's unbearable. And Ross's "cute" shtick = whiny.

The outrage of this scenario—Diane Keaton choosing Jack I've-been-banging-your-daughter Nicholson over the adoring Doctor Keanu—popped into my mind out of the clear blue nowhere on Tuesday morning. It is one of the most infuriating conceits in Hollywood history.

Wait a minute, really?! So I saw it on demand / cable a year or so after it came out and just watched it again a couple days ago with my son. (He's on an Edgar Wright kick after Baby Driver.) I was REALLY surprised that Scott ended up with Ramona because I thought Scott and Knives ended up together. I remember liking…

It absolutely should not work. If I described it out loud, I would have to stop at "a plan to get his ex-wife back." I wouldn't get close to "meets a sexy but vulnerable widow" because I would have gagged on "hardcore Eagles fans." But I love that movie. I can't turn it off.

Hey, those pants were polyester and she took the time to be sewn into them!

20 years?! Willikers!

Obviously. Touché.

Wait, what? Are you saying I missed Batman in the books?! I don't always pick up the clues in GRRM's famous 3-step reveals and I read through A Feast for Crows pretty quickly (sorry, Dorne), but surely I would've noticed Batman lurking around.

Not if that one guy who's rumored to have it really does have it. But he probably doesn't.

Don't you fucking dare.

What do you suggest: a nocturnal orphan of Casterly Rock with an overly fond steward and a thing for unusual weaponry?

Whoa: The DBZ + The SORKIN = walking down hallways and taking turns monolguing in rapid fire but WITHOUT talking over each other?

Which he? Wednesday? Or Fuller?

Agreed. I thought most of the scene suffered a tiny bit from the Dragon Ball Z effect, that is, where they all stand around monologuing at each other.

"In your satin tights, fighting for our rights. And the old Red, White, and BLUE"

Oh, wow! So glad to hear you enjoyed it! I'm going to counterpoint some of your points, not because I think you're wrong, but because it's fun to discuss.
