I love it. His Series 8 look with the neatly cut hair actually looks really weird on him to me now. Almost dopey.

It was "A Chronicle of the Wars following the death of King Robert I"

I don't think that's the case here. Usually what you're saying is true because the kid actor is just there to be in the background, and they upgrade when they need them someone who an really deliver lines. In this case it's not because the actor Freddie Stroma (Cormac) wasn't good enough, it's because he chose to…

Trump is playing to the crowds for sure, but I don't think he's completely misrepresenting what he actually thinks of foreigners. He strikes my as someone who lies but then convinces themselves what they said must be true, because it came out of their own glorious mouth

I was actually impressed with Jaimie in that scene- I don't think he personally cares much about that "foreign threat" and is perfectly aware there's no such thing as Westerosi superiority, but he was smart enough to know that was the best angle to come at this crotchety old lords from.

I forget what writers this came from but they came up with this saying that "ships move at the speed of plot" (which applies to GOT too). In this case I guess it's "Ravens fly at the speed of plot"

I've felt like it would make the most sense for him to have some kind of Gollum style ending of some sort. but that works less now that he has moved out of the Reek mindset mostly.

I loved the little call back to the conversation in season 2 about a Knight being anyone who has armor.

Funniest line of the episode to me was "he won the Battle of the Bastards!" by Hot Pie. It was funny to me he used that name in general, but especially caused it sounded like was saying Jon had won the Super Bowl or some shit. But nice to see Hot Pie again, though that survivor line was concerning potential…

Could have been up to some shit in KL. Could have run in The Brotherhood again on the way South Again. Could have run into Arya again as she predicted she would. Could have been one of those seasons where's she completely off the map till the finale or something.

I would have guessed a Dany Melisandre meeting was likely to happen, but had no idea when such a thing would happen. There's other things she could have ended up doing this season.

That feels like kinda a big thing to reveal in a headline? Not particularly upset but surprised since the AV Club is usually very sensitive about doing their whole REDACTED thing with Game of Thrones.

I'm sorry, genuinely not sure what you mean by that

I'm definitely think the type of supporting roles the show casts colored actors in and the way those roles are written has been very questionable at times and seemingly motivated by racial stereotypes. But I still think it would betray the show's attempt to portray a dark, realistic medieval society to cast a Northern…

It's a show with dragons that's still clearly in large part based on actual European History. These things can exists. The fact that this real history and fantasy elements coexist within one show is part of the appeal.

Qyburn the Creepy Maester would totally throw Cersei under the bus and testify against her once Dany came. But yeah, trial seems unlikely

Most of the Westerosi Houses/Regions clearly have analogs in European Culture/History, thus it makes sense to sustain that connection since it's relevant to understanding how Game Of Thrones is meant to loosely mirror our own history. The characters listed above were not as strongly tied to any particular culture or…

I'm conflicted on Euron's gift. I won't buy him killing someone like the Sandsnakes being enough for Cersei. The only person who would be good enough is Tyrion, but it be ludicrous for Tyrion to just get killed off this early. The Dragon Binder makes the most sense, especially since it would pretty quickly even the…

She wasn't off completely since Cersei didn't want her to feel happy about going to meet her god, so she's just having the Mountain perpetually torture her. Still would be weird to revisit her since that there's not much left for her to do at this poit, though once Cersei is removed it might be a loose end for them to…

It felt to me like one of those categories where you immediately go "I know nothing about this subject, so I'm just going to zone out for five seconds" then you hear the answer and go "Oh wait that was actually really easy I could have gotten that if I had actually bothered tot think about the clue:
