I think that is an excellent point; the arc is very clear if her entire journey is fresh in mind. People tend to forget what they don’t want to remember, and so if they’ve decided they like Daenerys they are going to slowly de-emphasize in their heads all the batshit crazy murderous stuff she’s done, and how…

I feel like the audience has taken crazy pills, if the comments here (and over at GoT/Experts, even moreso) are any indication.

The Spice King says, “...Qarth.”

I’d rather not applaud the complete monster in lieu of the person fumbling inconsistently towards some small measure of humanity. Neither of them deserve applause, but he definitely is much further from the line. Consistency in itself is a pretty garbage “value” anyway in the messy casuistic world we inhabit; it is…

Now imagine if he only got the eyebrows.

Everyone always glosses over the part where, after conquering a city by violence, she crucifies an entire class of people.

It seems you could either watch more shows or stop watching TV entirely.

Seasons 1-7 establish one thing very clearly: Both politics and ice zombies can kill the shit out of people. Both are existential threats to the continuity of the civilization under discussion. Both are the “real” threat.

Mirri Maz Duur plays a mean long game.

Omnibus hominibus moriendum.

The Thomas Jefferson Society calls that first quote spurious, and can find no reliable source for it in his known words, either spoken or written. Thomas Jefferson also played no role in the drafting of the US Constitution.

The draggiest part that doesn’t need to be is the whole bunker sequence w/ compu!Zola. There are other bits that slow the movie down (Cap visiting Peggy, Cap at the VA) but are thematically necessary.

Only crime, really.

Unlike her predecessors (esp. Aerys II and Viserys), though, she listens to counsel, even if reluctantly, even if she really doesn’t like what they’re saying. Mostly, she’s just insecure and has trust issues, and that may be enough to doom her by acting imperious and dumb, but she is no mad king.

Yeah, I still think they end up, for maximum irony, as Lady and Lord of Winterfell. Or dead, but I’m trying to keep things upbeat. Sansa ends up on the Iron Throne, if it still exists at the end. Jon and Daenerys are dead meat.

Er, no. In really-real history, there are many cases of old deposed families that get reinstated to the crown after a successor or usurper family gets played out. In the English Monarchy alone, you have the House of Wessex and House of Denmark (Knýtlinga) trade back and forth a total of three times due to changing…

Warren is a senator, so consequently she has no role in either drafting impeachment articles or in invoking the 25th.

Since when is that a rule in the show (or, for that matter, the books)? The wildlings have taken to burning their dead no matter what, and they heavily imply that the WW can raise pretty much any corpse that hasn’t already been physically unmade.

He’s the Sansa Stark of the MCU.
