That definitely sounds like someone who is being way too overzealous and/or ignorant. The CDC only recommends waiting if you’ve been to an area with confirmed outbreaks. (And the people in SF who got it didn’t get it in SF, unless they had sex with someone who got it somewhere else.)

Is it just me, or did Needle get bigger? It was child-sized when Arya was smaller; it’s still smaller than a regular sword but seems more in proportion to Arya’s size as a teenager than it should be.

...And that’s how the kids got married!

Yup. All that has to happen is for Bran to say to Benjen, “in my visions I saw a mad king saying burn them all and throwing some glowing green stuff around.” Bran’s formal education may not have gotten to the point of learning that part of history, but Benjen must know what wildfire is.

So, she was struggling with the pressures of a rigorous academic program at an elite university, but she’s not returning to Columbia because she wants to focus on her modeling career? I mean, talk about an out of the frying pan, into the fire situation. Trying to make it as a model in NYC has to be at least as…

I’m not sure that Moving Comfort will work for you if you have that large a cup size - I’m a DD and I had to go up a band size to be able to fit into one. They’re great but don’t have as wide a range of cup sizes as some other bras.

Moving Comfort is good for this - the straps go where they do on non-sports bras, maybe a tiny bit further in.

Sister sizes that far apart make no sense to me. I mean, an F cup breast is just not going to be a B cup breast on a slightly larger woman. I’m a 34DD and occasionally I can get away with wearing a 36D depending on the brand, but no way could I ever wear a cup size smaller than that.

I used to be very shy and one day in the sixth grade I farted audibly during “quiet period” and it was the worst thing that ever happened to me. Even the teacher made a snarky comment. It happened on a Friday, the hardest thing I ever had to do was go back to school on Monday morning. I can still remember that feeling…

I love Jorah. Can’t he amputate his arm? I mean, that’s not awesome when you’re a knight, but Jaime seems to manage okay.

I know, I don’t know why it has to be so awkward. And don’t even get me started on the whole Uber thing. It seems so wrong to not tip, but Uber says you’re not supposed to, but I know the drivers sometimes think differently, ack.

I give my stylist five bucks and usually she's like, but why? I dunno, I feel like an ass not giving SOMETHING.

...is it possible you're thinking of Edward Furlong?

I’m sure he meant it well, but the whole “blossoming as a woman” thing is super-skeevy uncle territory.

Lots of stylists will do a free bang trim for you between haircuts! Just ask if your salon offers this. I finally got into the habit of scheduling a bang trim at the same time I schedule my next cut when I leave the salon, so I don’t flake out and end up doing it myself.

[Too late to edit my previous comment...I just saw Tyrion’s smugness described by the NYT recapper as “Lannisplaining,” which is fantastic.]

No, I agree. His tone was way too obviously “I totally know what I’m doing, let me show you how politics works.” It’s going to come back and bite him in the ass for sure. Just like it did for Daenerys. It’s not so easy to descend on a culture with a long, long history and completely change their belief system and…

The High Sparrow is totally that kid in college who never drank in high school, goes to one frat party and can’t handle it so he spends the next 6 months telling everyone that drinking is wrong. (Then he goes to Spain for the summer and changes his tune.)

I think it will be Brienne who kills Ramsay, to avenge Sansa (whom she has sworn to serve).

I’m interested that Arya was able to drink the water from the poison well without it killing her. It makes me think that perhaps the water itself isn’t poisonous, but something Jaqen H’ghar does is what kills people. He didn’t actually want her to die, he was just testing her, so therefore she didn’t die.
