I'm guessing they spent most of their time in Fleabottom, which has always been a horrible slum.

My assumption on Dragonstone was that at least half the fighting-age men of Westeros are dead, and so they're only manning castles where they're expecting an attack. And they didn't know Dany was heading there, apparently.

I don't know, but his army has been on the march since about season 2 and does not seem to have actually got anywhere.

Me too. I was just wondering why he was talking about his hands and not his dick.

Only for longer. And to be fair, better.

Shouldn't he be Mr Wheels?

I thought that too, but Cersei doesn't have much of an army at the moment, and apparently she didn't realise where Dany was heading until it was too late. I think the crucial point is that quite a high proportion of fighting-age Westeros men have been killed over the last few years.

I was all 'where do I know this guy from? was he in the Hobbit?'

We had trouble getting our stream working, and initially I was all 'ah, don't worry, it's just the previouslies'. So glad that we went back to the start when it started working properly.

Yes, which you have to assume would have made life difficult for him over the last few years.

What was Jon's stupid mistake? Letting the wildlings through? I agree that didn't end well for him, but I'd argue the stupid mistake was on the part of the people who killed him.

I thought the Middle East was so fucked up partly because the Ottomans got owned in WWI and the allies carved the area up with a pencil and ruler? How would Wilson getting involved have helped? (This is a genuine question, not a passive-aggressive way of telling you that you're wrong.)

Oh, you're Australian. That makes (marginally) more sense now. Still impressive - most NZers wouldn't be able to do that off the top of their heads. Hell, I used to be a historian, and the only Australian PMs before Hawke I can name without looking it up are Holt and Whitlam, both for obvious reasons, and maybe

"except be prohibitively expensive to some"

Communist!

"Uh, do you think we're assuming too much knowledge of early 20th century American foreign relations in this poster?"
"Don't be silly."

Congratulations. Was it the ponytail-pulling thing? I gather that's what he's mostly known for in other countries.
