  1. Ian! I know he seems happy but I will miss him. I guess this is a good decision since he didn't really have much to do otherwise. I hope Rollo is happy there.

    What about the poor woman who was exiled? The Mohawk woman.

    Brianna is just annoying. I don't know if it's the horrible storyline for her or if it's just the actress. Roger is handsome and a better actor but...Jamie and Claire 2.0 they are not!

    Costume question that I can't find an answer to: what do those little ring pins signify? Ian had a few on his lapel and then the woman who got exiled had a bunch all over her coat.

    M and J...daaaaaaang, it got spicy 🙂 Love M lying in bed with his hair down and lookin all sexy-like to J. Ha!

    Jamie and Claire are so damn damp. No way they or their clothes got dry. Gag! 

    I keep thinking of what that wet wool smells like. Rollo prob smells better! 😉

  3. As a woman approaching 50, I am super excited about this. I've played almost all the HER Interactive games, had all the books growing up, used to pretend to be Nancy Drew when I was a kid (burying stuff in the park and then creating a mystery to solve)...

    I will hold judgement until I actually watch a few episodes. Maybe they can pull this off!

  4. Hubby and I just started this last night so we're only 3 episodes in. We're big history buffs but don't really mind all the inaccuracies. Eh, it's television so we expect that.

    Interesting that writers are choosing to portray Catherine as a scheming and not so modest woman. Makes for good TV but I find I don't really have any sympathy for her the way I do when I read about her historically.

    Jesus-fucking-Christ. That's all I could think to say as I stared at the TV, slack jawed, as the credits rolled. 

    Not only does Chernobyl deserve ALL the Emmy's, it deserves to steal the Game of Thrones Final Season thunder (and for that matter, Veep's Final season thunder, as well), and totally dominate at the awards. Riveting, infuriating, some of the best television I've ever watched. 

    Absolutely agree. My husband and I were saying it was incredible how riveting the entire series is. We have even been doing a rewatch up to the last series. Just want to see it all again. I would easily buy a dvd box set with extras and interviews...and hope they release one! Attn: TPTB!

    I was thinking about this exact chart when I was writing my last post -- shaking my head at how the same writers who couldn't think of anything to do with Cersei other than have stand at a window and drink wine are the ones who wrote this for her back in season 1:

    "You've always hated him."
    "Hated him? I worshiped him. Every girl in the Seven Kingdoms dreamed of him, but he was mine by oath. And when I finally saw him on our wedding day in the Sept of Balor, lean and fierce and black-bearded, it was the happiest moment of my life. Then that night he crawled on top of me, stinking of wine, and did what he did, what little he could do . . . and whispered in my ear 'Lyanna.' Your sister was a corpse and I was a living girl and he loved her more than me."

    And that's not something they cribbed from the book -- most of the ideas and most of the language are original to the show. What happened to that version of D&D's writing? I can't think of a single piece of dialogue from the past few seasons that comes close to being as interesting or as well composed.

    They simply didn't care. They stopped giving a shit, imo.

    I have to admit, this show is giving me a better appreciation for Russian fatalism and black humor.

    I'm glad someone mentioned this. I have been trying to describe fatalism to my husband and how that affects worldviews/humor/daily choices. I lived in Czech Republic for a bit over 8 years and Czechs also subscribe to this fatalist perspective.

    That film was called Citizen X and it was also produced for HBO! And it’s fantastic, albeit extremely grim viewing.

    I was just going to offer the same. Citizen X will break your heart.

  9. Oh I definitely had my husband fast-forward through the shooting animals parts. Those poor men having to do that 😞

    I am blown away by this series. I'd love it if it were longer but I appreciate the work that went into these few episodes. What a production! The cinematography, acting, incidental music: all stellar!

    That reminds me, you know the woman parking the trucks with the potty mouth?  

    I loved that woman. I've only been to diff parts of Ireland 5 times but was tickled by how much I heard that kind of swearing. LOVE it.

    I like how everyone is trying to make sense of this tripe. If we have to try and explain to each other and ourselves what was written, then it means D&D have failed at writing 101. 

    I think they just didn't give a shit anymore.

  12. all this talk of snow/ash reminds me: I loved that shot of Drogon shaking off the ashes and clearing Jon for entry. I'm guessing Drogon liked any heat left in the ground and snuggled down in there.

    Tyrion knew, Sansa knew, Arya knew, and Bran knew, so quite a few people sitting in that council deciding who would become king knew...and none of them said a word about it.

    I was thinking about this too. Did any of Varys' messages get out? We'll never know.

    If there's no Night's Watch who were all the black-clad men at Castle Black? And I don't see any part of the wheel actually broken just because the great houses elected a monarch. Things like the maesters and the Iron Islands/Dorne could easily have been better explained in an ep that was already 60+ minutes. And I'm honestly annoyed I have to mentally fill in the blanks on how the floppy fish lord returned to power just because Edmure was only allowed to speak to be interrupted as comic relief.

    Ah, I totally misunderstood. I wonder where the black IKEA-rug guys came from? (Edd last of the Watch died, right?) I'm a bit lost. But, eh. I felt like it was to fool Grey Worm? That Jon was going to go Beyond the Wall with the wildlings when Tormund decided it was OK for them to go back there. I completely misinterpreted that!

    And I agree. Not much is "broken" of the wheel that runs Westeros. Just that how they choose the king/queen is different. Shrug.

  15. Did I misunderstand? I thought there really isn't a Night Watch. That was just a way to get Grey Worm off the warpath for Jon's head. So if there's no Night Watch, breaking an oath to the Night Watch wouldn't matter anymore...so Sam is off the hook on that one, according to what I understood happening. As for being a Maester and having a wife and children, perhaps they've changed the rules about that? Another spoke of the wheel "broken?"

  16. And Brienne's new sigil on her armor. LOVED the colors but don't get why Bran was in dark blue, Tyrion in black, Brienne had yellow (?) bands...would have liked to have seen more of a uniformity. But perhaps that speaks to the immediacy of getting the realm back on track after upheaval?

    Sansa's coronation dress, I could talk about for days!!!

    Everyone else had voted by the time Sansa spoke up.  For future Kingsmoots, this would be a problem, but for this one, the North was not yet independent when they agreed to make Bran king.

    and after Sansa turned to Bran to say the North will be independent, she didn't say, "aye." She didn't technically give her vote.
