Forced before he was ready? Absolutely. He was propositioned with a 12 year old, and a 15 year old just happened to be goaded by her father to “befriend” the grieving king. Viserys would have been expected to marry at some point- choosing Alicent was his way of saying “at least I know her.”

Tried it; there’s a textural issue with the crumbles in anything where it feels like eating rubber. The burgers, nuggets, etc at least are bold in what they are so you can prepare to the taste. The crumbles always felt like if Subway buns actually were yoga mats.

Rhaenys’s motivation is clear as day, and she lays it out painfully literally earlier in the episode. This is a woman, a warrior and a dragonrider that in a just world would have inherited the rule she was far more fit to have than her cousin.

I think Paddy put it best when he said that when Aemma died, so did Viserys. His illness was a lifelong penance walk for how she died, and he was essentially forced into his second marriage. He got his sons, but at the cost of losing one of the only two people he ever loved and of alienating the other.

That’s why I particularly liked episodes 3, 4, 7, and last week’s episode. So far, they’ve been the better examples of pacing when the show slows down when it needs to. Particularly, Laena’s funeral party and everything after it was perfect- it really captured the awkwardness of this dysfunctional family being forced…

Agreed, I'm confused about all the Rings of Power, Walking Dead and She-Hulk reviews as well.

Not really.

Eve Best is such a wonderful actress and while she’s been great all season, I’ve been praying for her to have a pre-Rook’s Rest badass moment and BAM there it was.

Helena Bonham Carter was also pregnant during the filming of Half Blood Prince- it’s pretty easy to spot in retrospect. Ironically, Helen McCrory turned down the role of Bellatrix because she was pregnant when they would have filmed Order of the Phoenix.

Not only that, but Leach was dead wrong regarding the volume of television targeted to that demographic at that time.

I think I beat Fire Giant the first time before a patch came through- I had him rotted before he transformed and the rot carried over so when he executed his opening move he lost over half of his remaining health and fell in two shots.

This concept already exists and is built in much the same way that you describe. It’s basically a light box with floating shelves.

Thay will continue to be true as long as 600 lb individuals are barely mobile and unable to deal with the strain of a two hour day under heavy makeup and heat, let alone a 12 hour one.

Not really; it’s not exactly a balanced documentary in that regard. What I found interesting is that when you watch docuseries or read content on the legacy of television like Sesame Street, Mr. Rogers, James L. Brook’s sitcoms, HBO prestige TV, etc, there’s a treasure trove of testimonials and documentation as to how…

The “backlash” was largely genuine critique that there was a multitude of children’s entertainment that taught far more complex lessons in far more engaging and meaningful ways. Barney was the equivalent of giving Pixie Stix and Red Bull to a child pageant contestant: All sugar, zero focus and utilized by people too…

I mean, “basic reproductive freedom for 50% of the human population“ is not even remotely the same as Reaganomics, and it’s pretty disingenuous that a certain cohort of progressives LOVE to portray it as such. That shit affects everyone, even and especially the folks that get omitted from intersectional diatribes.

Honestly, he was like this in 2016 as well, had multiple suits regarding the treatment and pay of his female staff, a wife with a golden parachute, has a history of saying reproductive rights “aren’t the big picture” and of endorsing white, male candidates that are antiabortion. He’s ALWAYS been this way, and when a…

It’s a bit more than that, though- especially with younger (usually white) women. Hathaway and Lawrence were actively pitted against each other, where the former was a “try hard with a curated personality” and the latter was “SO down to Earth.” Then the blogosphere decided Lawrence was a “try hard with a curated…

My family and social circle is heavily Indian as well, and the general preference has been either Indian/ American Indian OR their specific Band for many of the reasons you cited. And if you go for the Band, you better know the district.

You make a pretty solid point- one this site really sidesteps.
