Remember a few seasons back when the wildling mother was paralyzed, mid-combat, when faced by her child turned into a wight?

I didn't take it very seriously. This Sheeran fellow, he stirs up feelings!

Thank you for sayin'. I'm duly chastened, and will strive to be a better citizen of pop culture.

I had no idea who Ed Sheeran was before that episode, and still kinda don't. So, from my blinkered, uninformed perspective: it was a lovely bit of singing, and Arya's naturalistic (for this show) exchange with the soldiers was a lowkey highlight of season. But I'm trying very hard to retroactively hate it!

I imagined an insanely confusing and awesome war in which jedi and sith were murdered/double-crossed/impersonated by evil/good clones of themselves.

I've defended "champing at the bit" (which is the original phrase, even if you consider "chomping" correct, too) many a time. It's not fun! People are barbarians.

I've come to resent Mark the way you resent a handful of people in your entire life — the people you will literally cross the street to avoid because you find them so deeply unpleasant.

Whatever your opinion on their "fairness", I think it's pretty crazy to say the appearance-focused criticisms of her in this thread have nothing to do with her gender. But hey, I'm the troll. Have a great day. (I'm bailing.)

I explicitly acknowledged their hypocrisy. If she was black, would the GOP's normalization and exploitation of racism justify racially-charged remarks about her?

No, I didn't ignore your point. First, this is all in response to a thread which is quite definitely about how she looks for her age. Not her grooming, not her style. Second, your defense has been "well I agree in principle, but not in her case." And my point is that it isn't about her, it's about normalizing a…

My point has nothing to do with any regard for Kellyanne.

Her boss is a racist, too. I'd like to keep those bets on.

What she says, how she acts, the rot in her soul. Not whether she looks acceptable for her age.

It doesn't matter how awful she is. Trashing women for their lack of "beauty" damages a lot more than just the nominal target. (And c'mon, it's not so hard to mock everything else about her.)

Then focus on the inside. It's not rocket-surgery.

Well, I hope we make it to April.

I think going back for her daughter was simply her first real choice.

My guess is that most of the episode was probably already *animated* and that *that* constrained the changes possible to the story and script.

I'm a little mystified by the acclaim this show is getting. Yes, it's well-made, but as a piece of drama I simply cannot latch onto anything besides Wood's performance. Neither setting — the "real world" or the theme park — feels memorable or distinct (I realize that's semi-intentional in the latter case, but it's…

As a 13-year old Weird Al fan in 1989, I was desperately excited walking into the theater screening Young Einstein… and a bit baffled walking out. I think I'd probably enjoy it better now that I know a few Australians. Different wavelength.
