If it does, it won't be because of lack of religion.

Yeah, great point!! The script writers are worse than Stalin!!!!

Religion will exist as long as there is scarcity, and probably beyond that. If you imagine a post-scarcity world where even death is (barring accidents and murder) optional, it's hard to imagine that religion will play a major role in it, though naturally, there will always be those who seek to adhere to some kind of

Strange, I thought it was one of his best. The writers did an excellent job on this one.

Nope — that was the story that grew up around it, but guy from the Vapors who wrote says it never even crossed his mind.

She was singing off key? Sorry, I was too distracted to notice…

It was the hard cut.

Someone who can come back from the dead could be seen as a threat in Dany's eyes.

Yeah, sadly the best we can hope for is, whenever Trump leaves the presidency, that his reputation is in tatters and that the country isn't.

In a free society, an independent press is one of the most important institutions you can have. It's their job to question everything that comes out of government no matter who is in charge, and that is necessarily adversarial a lot of the time, since politicians aren't exactly know to be bastions of truth.

Seems to me, the magic of the Faceless Men is as much to do with having the right state of mind as much as anything else — i.e. losing their identity. That's what Arya's training was all about. Once she had achieved that, she was ready, whether it took a week of twenty years.

My prejudice against dragons has no bounds.

Yeah, but in an uplifting ending where Dany ascends the Iron Throne to unite the lands against a common foe, I don't see her having the ability to rule by consent when she has three full grown dragons by her side.

Not quite the same thing since ice ages were much longer, less frequent events, but certainly, life on Earth quickly finds ways to re-inhabit places that have been wiped clean by one type of natural disaster or another.

No idea, but I can't see the dragons surviving in such a world. Methinks they're going to die.
