Yea, heaven forbid we like our fictional stories to be coherent and consistent. Fuck me, right? 

I don’t think she knew where all of it was?  I dunno.  The wildfire explosions seemed pretty random.

I could easily argue Sansa getting raped was worst. I will say, the golden army was pretty useless

I said to my wife when the bells started ringing, “What none of these idiots realize is that dragons hate bells.”

So sad to be right. :(

It’s like they were like, “Hey, so how can we show that we really don’t understand our characters but spend as much money as possible to close out the series?”

Utterly facile, meaningless nonsense.  I wish I’d gone with my initial plan to give up after the third episode. 

Euron’s fleet really symbolizes the insane logistics ass-pull they’ve been making these last few seasons.

“FMV were showy, but they ate up disk space and didn’t add much to the game beyond wow factor.”

Maybe they don’t look like that today, but that “wow” factor was HUGE back in the mid-to-late 90s, and many key games used them to break new ground in game narrative.

I would also be interested in seeing a piece about how gamers who live in places which the US Army has utterly ruined feel about their hobby being used to manipulate even more people into the business of ruining even more locations around the globe.

Hey now. Don’t you realize those guys are over there killing illiterate teenage goat herders and farmers so you have the freedom to post on the internet? If it wasn’t for our brave soldiers you’d be posting in Pashto!

And that changes things how?

horrible, awful, terrifying.

Lol yeah, because the “Gamer Gate” folks are the types of people they want to give the ability to kill.
