Not to mention the groaningly obvious “the book this was based on is written in-world” thing ACTUALLY HAPPENED after we joked about it being too stupid last week.

What the hell is Gendry’s claim, really? “I was legitimized by a lady whose only claim to the throne is that she considered herself Queen for like an hour.”

Pretty sure Brienne and Pod already had ravens on their armor. The city’s still on fire and we just figured out clean water was important, but first let’s get right to embossing the gold armor that will never be used in battle.

In 50 years everyone will be in a nursing home muttering, “Bad writing” in a corner facing a wall.

For all the talk of changing the face of fantasy, Game of Thrones resolved the Night King via a dimestore version of the Witch King’s defeat in Lord of the Rings and resolved the Iron Throne question via a dimestore version of Leto II’s ascension in Children of Dune (complete with Mad Queen Regent Alia).

I would actually watch a show where Buzz goes around and punches conspiracy theorists in the face. Even at 89 years old he still is probably ready to put a fist in their face.

I’m sure there’s plenty of “military veterans” that aren’t terribly intimidating... But the first astronauts we’re mostly test pilots for dangerous experimental aircrafts, and they were signing up to strap their asses onto the top of a gigantic rocket, which realistically, had a VERY HIGH chance of of straight blowing…

I read it in Arnold’s voice (as I do with everything - sometimes it gets weird when reading my wife’s texts but that’s another matter) and got the reference immediately.

Hey that guy should be happy. Buzz sent him to the moon for free.

I think I would almost be honored to have BUZZ ALDRIN punch me. But then I would feel so bad that I had provoked him, because I’m not a delusional, Bible-humping fuckstain (is that the kind of phrasing that the kids are using nowadays?).

OW ME BACK

What’s the second lady doing down there? It can’t be too much of a mystery: she’s playing with his balls.

Now, that’s a loveseat!

Nah, not knocking you in particular. More the overall take of “Warriors = Patriots therefore we have to piss on them at every turn.”

I’m just in it to finally get to hear Dany and Jon sing the Song of Ice and Fire. I hope it tops James Taylor’s “Fire and Rain.”

Actually I feel like they’re a good fit for Star Wars.

I laughed sadly while shaking my head at Eric Gordon getting T’d up after passing up an open lane to the bucket in favour of throwing up an off balance one hander from 25 feet because he wanted a foul called on Bogut from contact a good 2 steps earlier and blew a gasket when it didn’t get called. This is what…

It’s like you’re trying to serve as an illustration of the exact fucking point.

I have to say that, as a Deadspin reader and non GoT watcher, my favorite thing about this cultural phenomenon is how fucking stupid it seems and how, no matter what I’m doing, I feel like I must be spending my time better than if I were watching it.
