I'm hoping Sansa just convinces the Lords of the Vale to take up her cause. They have no loyalty to Baelish, and they're all aware that Robin is not exactly Lord material. That leaves them with Lady Stark, with blood ties to at least three of the seven kingdoms (the Vale itself, the Riverlands, and the North), plus…

In re: 1st paragraph - exactly. My mother is a survivor. Every relationship she's had with people has been dysfunctional and practically textbook social ripple effects - drug abuse, alcoholism, further abusive relationships, self-isolation.

There's that, but I think it's also in part that murder is over and done with. Those left behind may grieve for a long time, but the person who was murdered is no longer suffering.

Right, from what I remember, the initial bleeding happened much earlier, so there's an indication that it's a risky pregnancy well before the duel. I was surprised the two happened so close together in this episode.

I read that in a Canadian accent. It's just that polite.

Speculation enhanced by the Targaryens having a history of multiple wives.

'Shit biscuit' is possibly my favorite. I need more variety in my irritation-induced swearing vocabulary and Deadpool helps me achieve that.

When your employer only gives you one bucket of limited PTO for everything, that's actually how it feels.

Or Skrull. :D

There would be so many awkward silences in that movie, but it would be SO entertaining to watch them irritate each other like a pair of 8 year olds… well, stuck in a car together.

I think Cap's argument amounted to the fact the democracy =! morality. His particular point was that individuals have individual agendas, and what if they sign and then can't go where they ARE needed or are sent to further one of those individual agendas.

? When Tony is reading Steve's letter, it cuts to the Raft, where a bunch of personnel are shown unconscious. Then it shows Sam pacing in his cell, then looking at the door, then Steve (not as Cap) steps into the light.

I dunno, it's up against

I think it's hero's guilt that kept them quiet. Anybody whose job is to help people understands it on a gut level. Logically, as Cap points out to Wanda, you can only do so much, but you do your best to save as many as possible. But emotionally, you always *feel* like you could have done better, could have saved more…

Based on how many moths she's caught lately, she's feeling pretty good, given her age and health problems.

Treats. Wet food. Lap-time. Whatever works.

And now I'm thinking about k-pop and j-pop and how that very much IS how many fans think. Even the seemingly normal ones can turn on a dime, and agencies generally do absolutely nothing to discourage the behavior.

Much like cats, dragons can cram themselves into some surprisingly small spaces.

That's true, though I suspect it's likely to go the other way and they'll strip out some plotlines asap specifically to avoid those down-the-line expenses. I would honestly expect that there won't be 13 Forsaken, either. Some of them could easily be lumped together and their plots with them. They'll likely do the same…

With that setup plus Rand, it's somewhere between a telenovela and a korean drama.
