It’s not even a big deal. Obviously if it wasn’t for the fact that Hollywood treats women as if you’re past your sell-by date once you hit 30, she probably wouldn’t even have bothered to lie. Not that it’s really anyone’s business what someone’s age is, anyway.

Ah, okay. That’s better.

Yeah, that quote came off really victim blamey. Gross.

I believe you, and thank you.

7 was okay, it was 6 that I really hated (minus the musical). Even so some of the crap we have now makes me nostalgic even for that one.

It’s been 12 years since the Buffy finale? God I’m old.

Huh, you learn something new everyday.

I like how you left it ambiguous as to which one.

What if it’s lying to you?????

As far as I know it’s still sold as common rat poison.

And then some supposed poisoning murders really are natural causes. Modern forensics recently solved the mystery of the Medici brother and his wife that everyone believed for 400 years had been murdered. Turned out it was just malaria.

There actually have been historical uses of hemlock as a medicine (in small doses) so you might actually get people who would buy it.

Well... they’re still right. Natural/organic poisons will kill you WAY better than any of your cheap, synthetic manufactured toxins!

If I recall right, what she was supposed to have said to Calico Jack was something along the lines of “maybe if you’d fought like a man then, you wouldn’t be hanged like a dog now.” Those girls were mean.

I hadn’t read it before now, but no, I don’t believe that’s an overreaction at all.

Ahhhh you’re right! Assuming then, that he already knows about those things she’s done, arresting Margaery could just be a ploy to try to gather more intel on Cersei and Tommen - if toppling the regime entirely is his ultimate goal. Very interesting.

It isn’t just about the fact that they made it happen to Sansa. If they had done it to Brienne, or Arya, or Myrcella, or any of the book characters who it expressly did not happen to I would be just as angry and feel that the writers had betrayed the source material just as badly. I’m not saying there should be no…

And I don’t believe that it is unreasonable to be angry that the show runners have *chosen* this. The show writers are the ones who put Sansa in Winterfell, who made the decision to transfer an entirely gratuitous and unnecessary storyline onto her, a character who is one of the POV characters in the books, just to…

Why do people keep bringing this up as if it justifies including ANY of it in the show? Yes, the entire Jeyne Poole storyline is horrific. And as a book reader and show viewer, it pisses me off that of all the plots they decided were completely integral and needed to be seen rather than dropped as extraneous, this was…

YES. Point 1, nail on head.
