I call those people “serial monogamists.”

No. In the books, it seems quite clear that Robert had never slept with her (according to Cersei, he was in love with something he’d never touched or had). Even if he had, the timing is off: Lyanna dies in her “bed of blood” which suggests in childbirth, and she was kidnapped over 12 and more like 18 months before the…

If you look at how Ned’s shown in Season 1, his hair was a dark brown. Here, the light’s surely giving it a lighter hue, but I thought it was spot on.

But again, he didn’t do that. Nor was he like “Howland, stab him from behind!” It wasn’t an honorable way to dispatch a foe, but that was not the fault of Ned Stark.

These flashbacks just reinforce what I felt reading the books, and watching the show up to this point. I would much, MUCH rather read/watch the story of previous generation(s), and see how Westeros reached it’s present state. Robert’s Rebellion, the Reign of the Mad King, the Dance of Dragons, Rise & Fall of…

Yeah, but why kill the direwolf? That’s always the Stark’s ace in the hole. There could be a conspiracy, but Rickon is not in on it.

I thought the same thing but I doubt it. And maybe Rickon’s actor got to keep his role because he won’t have to do much acting. I’d really rather not see anymore Starks die.

Except they killed Shaggy. That’s pretty damned awful. I am not filled with hope for Rickon Stark. I think he’s going to end up inside-out on a pole somewhere. :(

What play could he POSSIBLY be making though? He knows what will happen to Rickon amd Osha. Even if he was going to ally with Bolton, why would anyone but a Frey hand over a Stark child to Bolton instead of just sending them off to hide or giving them a quick death. Or keeping them as an ace in the hole?

I’m hoping for this too but the hoops the show will have to jump through for a fake Shaggydog head would be pretty ridiculous.

You get a star just for giving us “Flayers gonna flay flay flay flay flay”.

Wanna know the "fridge horror" I get after reading this story? They never have just one person go through the scenario. And that means they catfished a whole bunch of other people too. They always run the scenario at least three or four times, so they can get some reactions that they can contrast with one another, and…

How does one begin to do that? That works regularly in scripted tv shows/movies, but whenever I see a beautiful woman and contemplate that wonderfully stupid scenario where she is totally accepting and open to a complete stranger hitting on her in the produce section, it goes like this in my head:

I really like this, because I’ve also seen the concept creep going on regarding bullying (no, making fun of a bigot isn’t bullying the bigot), and I also see a lot of power in breaking down when and why internet hate and harassment is distinct from bullying (or ‘cyberbullying’ which is just the same thing but with a…

Damn, that last one. ...Damn. That’s like the hot scruffy man of my dreams that I want to purchase a brownstone with and have adorable hipster babies with and start a backyard spice garden with

I think we need to be as frank as possible when it comes to suicide. Get it out there, instead of couching it in terminology. How many suicides are described as having “died unexpectedly,” or are mentioned in almost pleasant terms such as “took their own life,” “ended their own life.” Maybe a few more stories about…

Sad for her family. That one tweet though.. “I didn’t know her, but she was beautiful”... sums up that stupid show.
