Me too, until I realize that I am NOT a stick straight waif like she’s become. I can never starve myself this thin.

I thought he was more 13, and Joffrey was 16.

How did she disregard advice? One said kill them all, one said pardon them all, and Selmy said fair trial. She went with the latter.

Because it’s not as quick and efficient as a voice call.

I don’t think it’s a lack of technical expertise. If we have planes, we can have flying cars. The issue is more surrounding how to create roadways, stop signs, and stoplights in the air. And who has funding for that? Plus, who wants to be the first house under a ten car pileup?

It’s interesting when I read in SA that the PIs creating CRISPR instantly patented, incorporated, and made tens of millions in investments in about three seconds.

Prediction: Plastic semiconductors that make for flexible electronics.

The cost of existing solar panel technology has gone down drastically, and creative financing solutions pioneered by SolarCity had made residential solar a lot more appealing.

You’re insane. The other 99% of the show is people slicing each other to bits, insane violence, people screaming in pain, but what really bothers you is some boobs?

Did Melissandre’s hair get super dark, or is it my screen?

Exactly. She was so busy with intrigue and trying to get out of Crown debts that she didn’t realize she was masterminding her own downfall. This is why we have a billion comments of what an idiot Cersei is. She is, rather, but there are methods to her madness.

Tommen in the books is, what, nine? No one is cynical and brutal at nine. Well, unless you’re psycho Joffrey.

I think people are being way too harsh with Dany. Looking at history, just because the US freed slaves, didn’t mean that everyone made nice with each other about five seconds later. This is the growth process, and nothing she could have done would have altered the lingering animosity. The only thing that does it is…

I’ll be one of the few to say that the Lady Stoneheart storyline never made any sense to me, and appeared to be going nowhere. If anything, it was simply nostalgia for a character that made anyone like this plot device.

Yes, but they’ve portrayed Littlefinger as omniscient until now, until CONVENIENTLY he has no earthly knowledge of Ramsay Bolton flaying people alive up and down the North, publicly, going on hunts to maul little girls, and sending Theon’s genitals to his father in an elaborate box that made the Iron Isles come and…

Yes. Which means he’ll likely die a horrible death in George Martin’s next book.

I don’t think Melissandre knows about Jon’s possible “royal blood”. Rather, I wonder if she’s beginning to believe the fire prophecy, in which Jon’s face is the face she sees as the messianic warrior from the Lord of Light.

On the minus side, the only issue I’ve noticed with the show’s changes from the books is a much-increased reliance on coincidences — the fact that Brienne manages to find both Arya and Sansa seems to strain credulity a bit, for example.

3000 people a year? Where? In their natural habitat?

Yeah, I can no longer comment from my iPhone. I’m caught in an endless loop of signing in, getting accepted, pushing publish, having to sign in, etc etc.
