The boob eyes might be a reference to the boob eyes in Ken Russell’s “Gothic,” which were based on a boob eye nightmare Percy Shelley had (about boob eyes). But somehow I doubt this boob eye information will make the boob eye scene make more sense.

You: “Aren’t you scared of the MS-13?”

Honestly Caliban and the Witch is extremely overrated. Federici isn’t a historian, and admits in the preface that she started with a conclusion and then looked for evidence to support it. It’s riddled with factual errors and correlation/causation problems. Much of its current-day popularity is as an academic fig leaf…

I wonder what a “good ruler” during the Middle Ages means anyway. Extracting taxes from peasants while hoarding obscene amounts of inherited wealth and power, but in a friendly way?

This is why I’ve always thought “Funny Games” was overrated. And “Spec Ops: The Line,” for that matter. People with enough power in their industry to spend millions of dollars on ironic violence are telling people who just consume it that they’re the asshole.

Jared summarized the TV Tropes article for him while he was on the toilet.

Nah

Maybe something like “The Trip” with Picard and Q.

Thank u for sticking up for oligarchy king luv u bb

See if he had done that, I’d understand how he got re-elected.

She comes from a place where people with no property have no political power. Presented with the suggestion that people with no property should have political power, she understandably scoffed at it. I think we just have a fundamental disagreement over whether a brutal oligarchy could be said to be democratic to any…

Didn’t miss it at all. The kingsmoot is decided by captains, i.e. people with power earned through violence and control of resources. Not the masses. It’s an oligarchy much like the Six Kingdoms ended up with, which is why she scoffed at democracy and was fine with the oligarchy.

She’s always been George W. Bush. Meereen was Iraq and the pyramid was the Green Zone. 

He’s a panopticon though, that’ll probably be useful.

The Iron Islands are a brutal slavocracy (oh pardon me, it’s “thralls,” not slaves). The idea of commoners having control over their own lives would be just as if not more absurd to her than the others. 

No sympathy for imperialist invaders. He should have been executed.

So many people died because of Jon’s selfish refusal to do incest. I will never make that mistake.

He said that right after Brienne guessed that he had been married before Sansa. I don’t know if he thought Brienne knew about Tysha or not, but I can understand him momentarily lashing out after being reminded of that experience.

No clown Tetris, the clownputer doesn’t have any games.

Most people’s mothers and grandmothers had normal, non-con artist jobs so that seems unlikely.
