By my referencing my relatives I was referring to their ability to completely beat me over the head with fact and historical references if I were to say something along the lines of what you did. And I have, trust me.

Religions are not ugly at their base, christian humanist and scholastic thinking are the roots of our modern secular humanist society. It can at least be very thoroughly argued as such, and is not easy to just dismiss. Trust me, I'm agnostic and grew up with a theologian Aunt and a parish priest who went to Harvard.…
Alright, I respect it. For some people it will always be too much.
While I respect your opinion, and the fact that rape is an abhorrent act that shouldn't be taken lightly, I disagree. Creating strong driving motivations is key to good story-telling. Having Sansa sunk in the depraved world of the Bolton's, abused and damaged, will only make her ultimate triumph that much more…
We won't be seeing a named character named Wyman Manderly scheme and plot. But does that mean that when the chips are down, Bolton's men don't turn on him? Does that mean that the spirit of what those Lord's did won't carry on into the series? Cause I think it will.
That would be a fantastic end to the arc. I do worry though, about having Cat reintroduced then IMMEDIATELY dying again. They'd have to do it right.
The sad thing is I've now watched this twice and can't remember. Had food poisoning this morning…
Yes, cause if there's one thing this show has demonstrated, married women carry immense power in this world. You may say Cersei but she only had the illusion of power and lost it the second another male relative came long.
I thought Ed had just collected everything into the bag when the zombies came in the roof? This wouldn't be the first time we've yelled at the characters to remember the damn dragon glass. Remember Sam running away with it lying on the ground? (though he apparently still had it in the end)
In the book there are skeletal zombies. At Hardhome you would think that would be all there is, as the dead were only recently resurrected with the return of the White Walkers, and the dead men at Hardhome were there for hundreds of years before (they were the dead from the originally bustling town that was…
Fires the only way to keep them dead, not sure if it doesn't disrupt them to hit them though.
Doesn't work with what we know of the history of Westeros though, the Children were allied with the First Men against the Walkers, and helped them build the Wall, etc.
Yes, to Robb it was sensible. To everyone advising him it was a terrible move. And it cost him access to his power-base in the north, which was probably all it took to end his reign, really.
The Church was really screwed over by the writers of this show imo. They should have gotten a lot more screen time leading up to the Sparrows. Quiet Island better be done right, is all I'm saying.
Very interesting. I agree Mel is probably the one, BUT season 5 episode 10 it was just revealed is called "Mother's Mercy". What is Lady Stoneheart helps take Winterfell? And what if Thoros is part of that group? And what if Jon is in a coma for alittle while, so Thoros could go save him while he's warged into Ghost?
I can't wait to find out the White Walker's motivation. Maybe it's turning the entire world to ice, but it feels so directed… I wouldn't be surprised if there were a mage or something with a motive behind them. A rogue priest at the House of Black and White maybe wants to bring about death's ultimate victory or…
They finally unveiled the name of episode 10… Mother's Mercy…
Yes, at this exact moment it does. But if you compare where the two arcs are going, the show arc has Sansa a momentary prisoner, but in a position that could very easily swing to one of immense personal strength. If she ends up opening the gates for Stannis or taking Winterfell with a group of loyalists, which I think…
I think the staring at food was supposed to link with the poison Arya was just given in the audience's mind. Maybe not necessarily a foreshadowing to a poisoning, but just making the audience think about a possible Ollie betrayal by linking the two scenes.
Yeah, but I think they're clearly setting up a larger betrayal by the Night's Watch. Sam's beating and the "you're losing all your friends" comment. I think Olly is a classic Brutus, remember: Brutus was Caesar's protege before he struck the first blow. But he believed in something Caesar was destroying, and he was…
