So was Jaime’s whole character arc a Möbius strip then?  What was the point of any of that?

I think there’s room for Arya to consider what’s next for her after bagging the ultimate kill. I could even see the Hound being the one to show Arya the perils of letting revenge consume you. Of course, none of that narrative work actually happened on screen.

Well, there’s a lot about this episode that had me throw my hands up in frustration.

Why were they assigned rooms? Can these people not be trusted to work out who gets what room in a fair and civilized manner amongst themselves?

I love that 100% of Savage Love comment boards include someone saying, “Based on this guy’s brief description of this woman’s behavior, I think this woman is being deceptive.”

The whole point is that she’s Michael Phelps or Usain Bolt or similar. She’s a woman who has a condition that in it of itself does not confer on her any specific advantage. Why some genetics are considered in the realm of “normal” and others aren’t is stupid, and the science is clear on that. Unless you are creating…

It’s so gross. She has serious issues, motherfuckers. So serious we all watched her meltdown in public, so imagine the shit that’s gone on in private.

I groaned when I read this too. I wonder if she’s so precious she feels “unsafe” when people use  upper case to spell her name?

“...directed by adult performer jessica drake, who uses the lower case...”

“Sansa’s on top.”

Ask and ye shall receive:

I can fully understand how something like this happened from a production standpoint. Somebody leaves a coffee cup lying around, nobody notices it, it happens.

But what the everloving fuck were the editors doing? How did they not notice this? And if they did, you’re telling me this show has an effects budget…

“Daenerys with a “y””

It’s not paranoia though when everyone, including all of her most trusted advisors, are in fact conspiring to put Jon on the throne. She’s having a completely rational reaction to everyone losing their damn minds in the home stretch.

I really wish that Missandei had said “Valar Morghulis” and jumped off the battlements just to not give Cersei the satisfaction of having executed her.

I am so pleased they are giving Gwendoline Christie a story arc this season where she really shines.  She is proving the MVP this season with Maisie Williams

Ugh, I never wanted them to go down the Dany Mad Queen route, as it undermines literally 8 years of her story, but I guess that’s what we’re doing.

You know a writer is struggling for takes when she begins attacking the idea of a book....

Exactly. And people who have idyllic childhoods also grow up to be murderers sometimes. I mean, look at Ted Bundy, there was nothing nightmarish about how he grew up and he also had the reputed charisma, but that didn’t change his murderous impulses.

The reason Fromme didn’t get as much screen time as you might think probably has to do with her presenting the manson cult as very much an ongoing thing - She’s still in love with him and still presents the members as being independent -what she’s saying could easily spark something in someone who identifies with her…
