See, I read the House of the Undying sequence as evidence that Aegon is genuine. Otherwise, what’s the point of foreshadowing him?

Yeah, it’s open to interpretation, and mine may well be wrong. But the distinction I’d make is that there’s what Rhaegar thought and then there’s what Daenerys saw. Rhaegar definitely though the heads were going to be his own three children, but in Dany’s vision he only mentioned Aegon. If Aegon wasn’t important, why…

I think it’s possible that Aegon was planned as one of the Three Heads of the Dragon (along with Daenerys and Jon) in the books. Evidence: in the House of the Undying, the vision Daenerys sees in which Rhaegar says “the dragon has three heads” also explicitly names Aegon, the real Aegon, as one of them. And if Rhaegar…

No more than leaving out Arianne leads credence to the idea that she was a fake.

They could build it on the Great Pacific garbage patch! Everyone wins!

I’m pretty sure that Bran’s fate is to eventually warg himself back in time and become Bran the Builder.

Is it really patriotism if it’s not your own country, though? It sounds more like enforced politeness, which I can totally see Canadians getting behind.

Jehovah’s Witnesses refuse blood transfusions, but to my knowledge they don’t have a problem with other medical treatments (I was raised as one).

Worrying about spoilers is futile and counterproductive. Your enjoyment of a work is not affected by knowing something about it in advance. I knew about every plot twist before I read the books or saw the show. I routinely read series out of order, as they become available to me. You’re making yourself miserable for…

He did! He got better.

The analogy gets strange when you realize that Marvel Comics, the company, exists within the Marvel Universe. Except in their universe, Marvel publishes comics based on the lives of real people. So people in the Marvel Universe treat superheroes the same way we treat superheroes (they have fans, conventions, comics,…

Copious amounts of alcohol.

Hey, fortune cookie, no one said anyone wasn’t allowed to do anything. Displayname is allowed to “take issue with” whatever he likes, and every other person is allowed to “take issue” with his awful red herring/hasty generalization argument. You can take issue with King Candy and I can take issue with you, and we can…

Her crime was looking at her cell phone. Presumably, cell phones are banned so that students pay attention to the teacher instead of their phones, but if you’re dragging them out of class, that seems counter to the ostensible purpose of the rule, doesn’t it? I think we should be using our creativity to figure out ways…

If she wants to sit on the floor for the whole class, fucking let her. Force is never justified against a non-violent student. What is it about a student remaining in a classroom that frightens you so much? That she might get the education you’re trying to deny her over a bullshit rules infraction?

Old Jim Gordon, as he was before Flashpoint, had white hair. This is the younger, post-Flashpoint red-haired Jim Gordon, the same as the strapping, bunny-suited Jim. The difference is that post-Flashpoint it’s only been about five or six years since Batman first put on the suit, whereas in the old post-Crisis era it’s…

The word ‘racist’ has a lot of different meanings, but since it’s impossible to know what’s in someone else’s heart the most useful definition describes a system of racial supremacy, beyond what any individual might think or do. By pursuing compensation for having the wrong color baby she’s, at the very least, being…

This just happened to me. I bought a new pair of jeans, and the next day my legs are covered in rashes. They’re only starting to heal a week later.
