The Family is only connected by holding The Twins and existing as an extension of Walder's obsession with consolidating his power. It's been established that if/when Walder dies and power transfers to his eldest son, the family will be split into 2/3 factions, and that's the best case scenario. And since Arya killed…

The Tyrells are game-changers at this point, right? Dany has varied land forces, but none particularly great for sieging castles. I can't see Littlefinger switching to Cersei's side, I'd say he might jump ship from the Starks when Dany comes around, and someone with some sense will convince Dany to kill him. And I…

Maybe Zombie Mountain has that Ghost Rider power and Unella was having flashbacks to how fucking boring Westerosi Catholic school is.

LL Cool Jew, obviously.

The Westerosi Magna Carta would lessen the king/queen's power over nobles and only incidentally establish basic rights for commenfolk. Increasing feudal conflict would be an ironic outcome for the woman who wanted to "Break the Wheel."

Declaring Jon a king does bring up questions of his mortality. Is he still aging? Can people rely on him to lead a faction without becoming disengaged with the world, or just straight-up keeling over when the LoL is done with him?

-Sam's Oldtown subplot should just become the Pagemaster. The Pagemaester. Sam the Pagemaester.

Or Aladdin, the Prince of Thieves!

It's hard to be pessimistic about Breath of the Wild when you look at Nintendo's history of updating Zelda gameplay. There was immense doubt surrounding Ocarina of Time's 3D adaptation, but it turned out exquisite. Wind Waker's navigation system was controversial, but ultimately one of the most functional open worlds…

Just like Tyrion said, though, burning down A CITY is different than burning a couple of administrators in one building. Hundreds and thousands of innocent victims, and all.

Ramsay's whole worldview was based on fear and malice. His self-worth, his only way of 'reaching' other people was inflicting terror. It made sense for his character, in the end, to take solace in the fact that Sansa's morality was permanently distorted by his actions, because that's the only effect on the world he…

I think Ramsay's plan was to sacrifice his initial frontline by hailing arrows over the entire skirmish. Made sense when you consider his numerical advantage, but it did seem like a shitty thing for a Lord Paramount to do, didn't it? Like, even if he kept the Umber troops separate, that means he slaughtered hundreds…

As much as the Meereen story was awkwardly fast-forwarded here, the place where the show chose to press play goes beyond bringing characters together in new and exciting ways and actually articulates why that’s important and what type of thematic work they see that convergence building to in the future.

-I knew that guy Jon picked up was getting an arrow in his face, but I was surprised at how quickly it happened. Jon couldn't get a word in.

In the books, Edmure is a very sensitive, principled person. He goes above-and-beyond to help his smallfolk, and other nobles constantly give him shit for it.

It used to be so easy to plant Dinklage in dense plotlines and let his charm shine through. In the first two seasons, he antagonizes Joffrey/The Hound, mentors Jon, aids Bran, gets caught up in Tully lady drama, befriends Bronn, negotiates with mountain men, becomes the Hand, mentors Pod, plays politics with Varys,…

-I was waiting for Arya to break out some Water Dancer moves on the Waif, and then when she did, it was turning the lights out. That's playing right into the Faceless Men's skillset.

As someone active in a local comedy scene, I've seen a few challenges specific to female comics. Given the casually fraternal vibe of open mics, it can be tough for women to organize shows when they're dealing with open mic-ers (largely lazy dudes), which leads to more female comedians 'playing' the Type A role just…

I got the impression that his injury prevented him from pulling the ax over his shoulder and establishing a rhythm. I also got the impression that it didn't particularly matter how efficient Sandor's swings were, because he's just that fucking big and chopping wood allowed him to exercise his violent tendencies while…

Seemed unnecessarily low-key. It's not as if anyone would mind if she openly gutted Arya in the street. It's Braavos, she can just say "THIS IS A DUEL" and everyone moves on.
