Well, the 'nobody believes' trope is pretty common in horror movies but the three camps that are usually not believed are women, children, and people who are already perceived as mentally unstable. So the fact that fully grown women are often perceived to be as credible/rational as children or the "mentally ill" in…

Silent Hill 2 had REALLY GOOD character art for 2001, YOU SHUT YOUR MOUTH. :(

Katya's commercial was 100% pure undistilled genius, but what the hell was up with her lipsynch outfit? Those shoes, girl? No. I was waiting for her to take off that ugly dress and do a reveal but…no. I don't know what she was thinking there. But I was so happy that Katya knew to file the workroom critique away as…

I was excited to see this song come up as a hate-song because I missed this song completely when it came out because I didn't have any jobs where I didn't have control over the radio. Now I have one, and this song plays every other day at least and I could never tell if the lyrics said 'Marry her anyway' or 'Marry YOU…

Oh my god that's not what an ungulate is AT ALL I can't even read the rest of this interview. IT'S ANY HOOFED MAMMAL, MR NELSON. OFTEN DIVIDED INTO ODD AND EVEN TOED FOR TAXONOMIC CLASSIFICATIONS.

I was so excited that coldhands was in it, but then he is immediately just like "Hi, here's the WHOLE DEAL with my cool mysterious self." and it was kind of a let down. Still, watching him whack skeletons was pretty sweet. I am kind of hopeful for Lady Stoneheart now. She doesn't even have to be that important I just…

I guess, but would an eyepatch really be too much? The actor made a joke on twitter that an eyepatch would get in the way of all the killing Euron has to do, which seems a little ablist. I have the sneaking suspicion they didn't want to give tv Euron the 'crow's eye' nickname because there's already a black bird with…

I am annoyed that Euron does not have the horn and I am beyond annoyed that Euron does not have his eyepatch. I' m also sad he doesn't have his blue lips or his pet warlocks, but I can see where that might have been a bit too weird for tv viewers. But it would have been fun to have the warlocks from season 2 show up…

Dire Pomeranian. So cute.

I used to ship Brienne with Jamie but I could do Brienne and Tormund. Tormund's a cool guy and Jamie is back to being Circe's bitch anyway.

Just the books.

Most of the human body is fairly difficult to catch on fire and hair is very easy to catch on fire. Hair is basically dead tissue except for the hair follicle so I don't see why it would be ~magic~ except that she's less of a pretty pretty princess if her hair burns off.

It feels odd because with Ramsay's personality there's really no way he wouldn't have taken the opportunity to torture the shit out of her anyway. I feel like they killed her off quick just to try to shake some of the show's reputation as torture-porn.

I wish her hair would at least SINGE.

I really hope Dany ends up going full Aerys by the end of the series. It would be so satisfying to me if she did manage to take the Red Keep and then is like BURN EVERYTHING.

As a devotee of the "Rickon has just fucked off and gone completely feral" headcanon I'm disappointed they bothered to bring him back in if it's just going to be like this. I guess they just needed A Stark Hostage to replace Not-Arya from the books, but… I wish Ramsay had just sort of squinted and been like…

Sand Snakes are the new Darkstar.

I was initially very anti-Dinklage for that reason, but since he was immediately so good in the role I made justifications that being a dwarf at all by medieval standards would make him be seen as totally a freak and therefore hideous to the other people in Westeros. But man, that Blackwater scar leaves something to…

This is a good point, and it's about time chronologically for someone from the island islands to start heading over to propose to Dany. This gives that plot a lot more weight, although by now Dany has probably noticed the pattern that hooking up for ships hasn't been a successful strategy.

I really liked the end of this episode. It's cool to have an example of magic on the show that's both explicit and yet completely lacking in spectacle.
