Samer, you said it best in your recent article on Boston radio dipshits: “Kirk Minihane is the rat that ratfuckers fuck.” That, sir, is poetry.

He has no point. He just wants her in a controlled environment (i.e. his own show). Also, she didn’t “write a horseshit columnn.” She wrote a feature using words that came out of Minihane’s own mouth and presented it in the context of the Red Sox’s long history of marginalizing large swaths of the city. This wasn’t…

Eh, that guy is the purest definition of a radio troll I’ve ever heard. I don’t blame her.

Tyrion: But then how do we attack King’s Landing?

why should she?

Given that the ballistas were introduced as a major plot device, we can probably assume that the dragons are vulnerable to it, and probably one will die. Otherwise, there was no point in introducing an ineffective weapon.

THEN THE NIGHT KING RAISES THE DEAD DRAGON

Patrick has been fired for not referencing the extensive real-world history of ballistas being used to kill flame-breathing magical lizards the size of 747s.

Building a trebuchet to launch the goddamn Mountain at the dragons would have been a better weapon.

This weapon is exactly how one of Aegon’s dragons was killed, so I would expect it to work and that they’ll manage to kill one of the dragons this way.

Sansa is awesome this season . She’s got major Cersci vibes going on and it’s obvious she’s a more competent ruler than John.

As Tyrion pointed out, Ellaria and the Sand Snakes murdered an innocent girl. Murdering innocent women and children is why Oberyn was so angry in the first place. They betrayed his legacy.

“ the Sand Snakes have consistently been some of the most interesting and compelling characters on the show,”

To point 2 — is saying “yuck” really that bad in the context of things? If he was dragging the guy through the ringer, thats one thing, but homering any bad stats under the rug seems worse to me as a fan.

Theon has PTSD.

After seven seasons, and my stalwart badassness that I pretend I have, this was the first episode of GoT where I legitimately felt like hurling. That greyscale procedure was more viscerally graphic and disgusting (and it’s a fake disease!) than any violence this show’s ever portrayed.

Seriously, who likes the Sand Snakes? That whole plotline bores me to tears. At risk of sounding like a “book snob”, I found them to be much more interesting in the novels, and more fully fleshed out as characters. I’m not shedding a single tear that some of them have been killed.

Wait, you like the Sandsnakes? I always thought they were the weakest part of the show- very one note, weird dialogue (“but you need the bad pussy!”) that doesn’t flow like anyone else’s lines, a plot that makes very little sense (so the people of Dorne are just going to entirely abandon House Martell and allow…

A couple things:

Sure, Eckersley doesn’t know how rough it is on pitchers today. David Price has completed 16 of his 259 career starts, and Eckersley completed 17.
