From the title I was seriously expecting that they cast a blonde white lady in the role.

The spin I didn't have a problem with. The part where he steps out into nothingness? That, I had a helluva hard time watching.

Seriously. Like yeah, she was bratty and whatnot, but I didn't really register as anything more than bratty. Now that I've finished the books, and see what an amazing, gentle and clever girl was there the whole time, I'm re-reading them and that stuff was definitely there from the beginning. She comes across as a…

In my opinion, Arya, Jon, and Dany end up being favorites because they fit into the type of fantasy characters we all are used to. Or at least fit as close as GRRM's characters allow. I feel that Jaime and Sansa are different though. Whenever I talk about ASoIaF, Jaime is one of my main arguments about GRRM's skill in…

Wow, really? You didn't stop for one second to think, "Gee on an article about being sensitive to trans narratives written by a trans woman, this comment might be a bad idea" before you posted that?

That's the thing about her character- if she was Arya, she would have been killed in a day or two. But Sansa manages to navigate her horrible, horrible situation (and I always felt that she had the toughest guy out of all the characters) simply by knowing the only way to survive it to fall on all of her training and…

She was also like, 12? I think I can forgive her for being naive in book one and weak and self serving in two. I just think there are a lot bigger targets to hate in the series before you get down to Sansa Stark.

I am so frustrated with the people who bitch and moan about Sansa; I'm beginning to think they're basing their entire argument on the first few episodes of season 1 or the first of the books. I totally agree that she started out as a disrespectful, lovesick child who had no one but herself to blame for the situation…

Hating Sansa is so first season. Now we should all admire her ability to survive among the Lannisters. She does a damn good job of it, too. She's not a swashbuckling sassypants like Aria, but that would have gotten her killed. She's very clever and had to learn how to navigate the politics of King's Landing real fast.

The book fandom has always been all over the place, though. All love and sunshine for Dany, then DwD comes out and everyone goes to hating her.

People who hate Sansa are universally terrible just so you know. Science fact.

Take that, thigh gap!

Ooo. Is Kyosuke becoming a main-pager? Awesome.

My coworker brought up the excellent point that the original piece in the Dallas Morning news was written by a man and edited by two men. WHO'S SURPRISED?

The term is inb4. Not cue.

Not a Texan and I don't live there, but I married a Texan (which if you know Texans means I'm a Texan by marriage). We both have a lot of family there and I feel invested in what happens there. I love Wendy, I've donated to her campaign, promoted her like mad to everyone I know. Our Texas families are mainly…

Dear Texans:

We are. Houston is now a blue city and it is largely because of women voters. Houston.....good 'ole boy central is now blue. Let that sink in a bit and then cheer for progress!!

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. If you legitimately want to "cleanse" your digestive track, do the prep for a colonoscopy. About 72 hours on a clear liquid diet, followed by an assortment of laxatives (the specific combination varies depending on the gastroenterologist). You will spend hours on the toilet,…
