I don't think they let women rule. And he doesn't seem like a guy to play the political intrigue game. He's a guy who overtly stands for a specific set of values, and just kinda lets everyone underestimate him. He doesn't actively hide in the shadows, he hides in plain sight.

I'm not sure that him desperately trying to comfort Cersei at her moment of greatest tragedy by going back to what he knows works is necessarily the same as him losing years of his character arc.

What does the High Sparrow get out of it? If Tommen dies, that presumably just leaves another power vacuum that people will be fighting over and killing for. Doesn't really empower the common folk, which seems to be his ultimate goal.

Also, why did they wait to kill him until literally the very last minute? Like he had to have the actual letter in his hand? It wouldn't have been easier or less risky to do it at night in his sleep?

I think the answer is more tonal than logical. Brienne is one of the few truly heroic characters on this show, and they don't want to portray her chopping up dogs. People like dogs.

Between this and the actor who played Raven's boyfriend spontaneously vanishing for being an IRL racist, and the huge controversy with Lexa's death to the point where it sparked an apology, it seems like there's almost as much behind the scenes drama as on screen drama.

That's the opposite of irony.

They should bring him back next season for a two minute scene with Kelly Hu. Then they can both immediately die in a way that further increases everyone's survivor guilt.

What could be a better display of the shows rise in quality than the fact that they went from an Imagine Dragons song in the first season premiere to a Violent Femmes one in the third to score a big introductory scene?

There's enough comedy and interesting plot points in just doing a regular pacifist run to make it worthwhile. It's as much a game about friendship and loneliness as it is about regret.

Other critics have been more positive, so you might want to check a few more reviews before you write it off.

It's funny that you'd feel guilty for wandering around and not committing the major violent crimes that comprise most of the story missions.

Maybe Disney can tie it into the Marvel universe by having Black Panther beat the shit out of him at the end.

I remember doing a book report on the first one. It doesn't feel right that I've literally aged out of the demo for a trilogy before it's been completed.

This pretty much sums up Berkeley.

This is not very good folk punk. Am I folk-punk snob for saying that? Is that a thing that exists?
