At first I was like Gendry quit stalling and man up and then I was like please stop this is weird

I’m concerned about Pod more than anybody. 

Tormund, Tyrion, Jamie, Pod, Brienne, and Davos all sitting in a room drinking wine shooting the shit. It’s like they wrote that scene just for me. And then they knighted Brienne!?!? Hit me right in the feels. I’m starting to tear up again just thinking about it.

The absolute gall to use two of the final 6 episodes to simply let our favorite characters chill at Winterfell — and to somehow turn out one of the show’s finest hours in the process. I was worried that the buildup to the Night Attack would crumble in the face of the attack itself. Now, the entire narrative is better…

Don’t know if it helps but I’m about 99% sure that was not Maisie Williams’ body. But either way, I’m probably more uncomfortable about seeing Arya Stark sex it up than I am Maisie Williams.

Jaime is (or...was, I guess) a human trash can but gah, I just love him so much. Especially in his scenes with Brienne tonight. She makes me so happy.

I hope this isn’t too much book-context, but so much of the story’s soul and moral standing comes from Jaime’s internal journey. Davos is already there. Brienne has a pure heart but she’s kind of on another planet. But we follow Jaime as he changes and there are long stretches where his redemption is the only thing…

Listen, all those characters, spare 3 or 4, will be dead in a week or two. Let’s enjoy every moment we have left with them, please?

Finally, a Ghost sighting!  

The important thing is, we got like 10 seconds of Ghost.

I was disappointed that we actually had Jorah Mormont and Lyanna Mormont in one place, in one episode and we got... nothing. Come on! Are you telling me Lyanna doesn’t have any snide, cutting remark for the long-lost disgraced cousin that she’s never known? Does she not feel the need to smack him around a little and…

Those dragons would have feasted on roasted elephants for weeks! Would go from the size of a 747 to a Saturn 5 rocket.

A very solid episode of reconnecting characters, echoing the start, and establishing where things are going to stand.

Rightwingers only care about murdered women when they can score political points. If her killer had been white they’d be saying she shouldn’t have gone running alone.

The right doesn’t give a single flying fuck about the actual woman who got killed. They only care about her inasmuch as they can use her as a pawn.

Their killer is too.... pale for their murder to be suitable for a reichwing politician’s purposes.

Now, let’s make a parallel that the right wing racist asshats would never make.

The other murder that’s taking over the headlines this week is Mollie Tibbetts. In Mollie’s case, politicians are coming out of the woodwork to decry illegal border crossings and sign on to new legislation supposedly designed to protect women from violence. I have yet to see any politician come out with a strong…

No such thing happened, she just got scared into vaccinating her children. Fear is not a substitute for intellectual reasoning. 

This is my rage about anti-vaxxers.
