HOW COULD I FORGET BLOODY MARY!

The annulment stuff basically confirmed to me that Rhaegar was the biggest dick in the history of Westeros, and that everyone's memories of him as this untouchable paragon of human goodness and sensitivity are colored by personal bias.

IT'S ALL ABOUT CLEGANE
AND HOW YOU PLAY IT

-It's so extraordinarily fucking surreal to see Jorah at the Wall. Unrelated, but Jorah's hairstyle makes him look like a grown-up Charlie Bucket.

And to think, he had a MUCH easier time of it than Henry VIII, who hadn't even fathered any children by the marriage he was trying to annul!

They didn't find the burnt remains of his plot armor on the battlefield.

In a different show, we would have gotten a Westerosi version of "The Mango" episode of Seinfeld.

I just love how the show is like, "Sorry George, we know you like travelogues, but we haven't seen our families in seven years, so we're just giving every character a jetpack to get around so we can hurry this the fuck up."

I'd be scared to meet ONE of those motherless fucks in a dark alley. But ALL of them? Call me a direwolf, cuz I'd be ghost.

I love how there was speculation that Dickon would have a larger role in the season because they had recast the part. But nope. Just that.

Now I'm even madder that GRRM didn't get the books out in time so I could read that shit first. But honestly, I'm relieved to have the show at all.

Dany on Jon Snow: Sploosh

Seven seasons in, and I STILL can't get over how extraordinary it is that we're getting something like this on television every week. Like, holy shit, dude. Television is LIFE.

I just assumed he was telling him the secret Krabby Patty formula.

I felt like I was watching The Desolation of Smaug, except good and with something resembling a proper ending.

Congratulations, Lady Mormont. You're the Queen of Thorns now.

That's a good explanation of why Euron doesn't work, for me. The book Euron actually felt more vivid and distinctive as a character, whereas this guy just feels like another garden variety psychopath.

Jon: "Do you even believe me anymore?"
Tyrion: "Of course I do!"
Jon: "Well you didn't before!"

Same. And for me, it's mostly because there really is no reason for him to even be there anymore but for the stupidity of the people with whom he's allied. He's so transparently self-serving that it beggars all belief that Jon wouldn't have just beheaded him already.

The only Auntie I'm bending the knee for is the one who makes delicious pretzels at my local mall.
