At least she has shown that she's willing to listen to her advisors. She knows when it's time to climb down from her high horse.

Right? I was prepared for gruesome torture and fast-forwarding, but it wasn't too bad.

She probably won't believe it. This might be the beginning of the rift between Jaime and Cersei that we've been waiting for.

That's the problem with oracle-types. They don't just say out loud in words exactly what you need to hear. They say a bunch of stuff that you're required to puzzle out. I guess it's to be more sporting or something.

Because it would be creepy? And you don't want potential new allies thinking you're creepy?

A Targaryen reveal would explain why he was the smartest of his so-called siblings.

Milk of the poppy is laudanum. Fatal in large doses but effective for pain relief is smaller doses.

So he's officially an idiot and Maisie isn't. Nice to know.

I used to know a woman who was faking being pregnant and among her tools of deception was putting ranch dressing on literally everything she ate, including spaghetti.

You work for a company too cheap to put Office on its Windows machines? You need to find a different company.

Huh. Maybe what I'm thinking of is even older.

Meh. I do both and I don't really notice that much of a difference. Excel actually has a leg up since I spend about 100 times more time in it than in Word.

There's a lot of fan service going on right now. Hot Pie, for instance. That wasn't necessary to the story - they did it for us. And, as long as it doesn't actively interfere with the story, I don't mind.
