That’s a crowded little rowboat.

But if there were some way to involve Cersei in that fight,<< To me, this is the primary piece.

Eh. They’s already made the decision to abort. I don’t think the fiction of having an out provides that much more shame.  Whether it’s there or not, these folks still think these women are babykillers.  

I pass my local Stop & Shop every morning and evening on my commute to and from work.

It wasn’t a sex scene. The camera cuts away before they have sex. Gendry was half naked when Arya starts to disrobe. Williams chose how much nudity there would be--it’s her agency as well as Arya’s in that scene. Plus Gendry still having his pants on gives us the set-up for one of the greatest one-liners from a queen…

I’d highly recommend that Entertainment Weekly interview to any fan of the show, but especially anyone who had an issue (for whatever reason) with the Arya/Gendry scene. Williams talks about how, yes, it was her on screen, no she didn’t feel pressured to do it (Benioff and Weiss told her that the scene would have only…

“So many white walkers” ... I said it on another thread, but I think the NK will pull a move like Rob from Season 1. I think winterfell will get attached with like 1/3 of the army (no dragon) and the main body will go rigth on around through westeros to King’s Landing to try to get a million more troops. Good guys…

Awesome. Where I live there are three Stop & Shop stores in the area and from what I understand, the locals stopped patronizing them in record numbers. I believe this after visiting the one local competition and it was packed with lines at every register spilling into various aisles. There was such a run on items at…

The whole episode reminded me of Shakespeare’s “Henry V,” when the king wanders among the soldiers the night before the battle. It’s that tension, the night before your big presentation, licensing exam, championship sports competition- whatever- and you can’t quiet your mind. Times a thousand.

I wept openly. Favourite character. SO PROUD.

Sure - like they didn’t know this was going on, and they fire the shlub at the bottom of the ladder. I guess in today’s amersica that passes as “taking responsibility”.

Someday he’ll meet his perfect match, and a few days later the local constabulary will find his headless body in a ditch.

This is the same system that ruled that teenage girls are too immature to decide to get an abortion (but not too immature to raise a child, I guess). Boggle away. Drink until you die.

Yeah, it’s great he likes it, but...why does he like it? What works well about the composition? What doesn’t? I’m not surprised the girl cried—This isn’t useful critique.

20 seconds in when Giannis gets up to hug the girl, the one cop gets all jittery like he’s going to have to shoot someone.

This one got me. My 10-year-old daughter does stuff like that. She’s always creating little crafts and drawings and letters and giving them to me. I mean, they suck because she’s 10, but I love them so much.

Yes. It means that, even though they already had an advantage, they (1) still weren’t strong prospects, and (2) even with the advantage they had, their parents were still willing to do more to ensure their child had a spot.

In addition to being confused (I’m being generous) about rights vs. privilege, Malcom Abbot went on to try to dismiss his parents’ accountability by citing their age as being something like 60 and therefore not “up to date with how stuff works”. Uh huh. Savvy enough to remember that pay offs work, yet too old to…

Betty Gabriel was great in Upgrade, which was the underrated gem of 2018.

I’ve found the IP makes Indian lentil dishes much easier - there’s no more babysitting the pot to stir/check the water level. Here’s one with red lentils (5 min pressure), garlic, tomato, spinach, cumin seeds, tumeric, salt/pepper, clarified butter (ghee) & dried curry leaves (optional but worth it)- my lentils…
