I don't place too much importance on understanding what's going on given the people behind the show, so that's not my complaint about this episode. I feel like we spent way too much time saying "Get on with it!!" In general I liked the season but these last two episodes have been a slog. Felix and Sylvester will bring Maeve and co back, so that's fine. But they killed Elsie stupidly. I'll watch the next season, but I'm not as excited as I was.

S03.E04: All Stars Snatch Game
roguetamlin replied to ElectricBoogaloo's topic in RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars
Potentially unpopular opinion. I don't like Trixie's drag. I feel like she's ridden Katya's hem and here on her own she's just not funny. Playing someone as over the top as RuPaul was WAY over her head. Generally this was a pretty boring Snatch Race. -

I think the big thing that annoys me about Lisette is that she seems to be a stand in for Mary to be the female foil against Foster. Like he can't be left alone without some woman keeping him sexually frustrated and fretful. I can't take Alice seriously. She's like Civil War Barbie Doll.

All that makes me wonder if Rhaegar is an intentional skewering of the Prince Charming/True Love trope.

So much of the plot of GoT revolves around two people that are barely on the show. There's a huge divide between what people who have read the books and those who haven't on the topic and a lot is left to guesswork. So using everything but season 7 spoilers (be good), let's try to find some answer. My question is: what was Rhaegar's plan? It could be assumed that the Tourney of Harranhall was all a setup to potentially overthrow The Mad King. Then Rhaegar gives Lyanna the wreath and a year later kidnaps her. Or they elope. Something. At the end of Robert's Rebellion, young Ned and his mates show up at the Tower of Joy and find Lyanna and newborn Jon Snow protected by Rhaegar (who is dead now)'s best soldiers and his bestfriend. So, back up a minute. What was Rhaegar planning to do with Lyanna if he won and got control of the crown? The loyalty of the Martells was critical to his success, did he think that he would just show up with his new family and they'd be ok with the cuckolding of their sister.

Season 7: Speculation and Spoilers Discussion
roguetamlin replied to Minneapple's topic in Game Of Thrones
Which topic would this covered by? -
I want closure on the Nebari plague plot. I NEED CLOSURE!!! I'm fine with no John and Aeryn, but they could totally do a whole new story on Moya.

Season 7: Speculation and Spoilers Discussion
roguetamlin replied to Minneapple's topic in Game Of Thrones
I understand all that, but what was his plan regarding Jon/Aegon and Lyanna? Was Rhaegar's desire to create Azor Ahai just a thread of several unconnected plans that all got tangled up, saving the kingdom from his insane father another? I suspect there isn't a real answer, that it just comes down to plot convenience. It just bugs me. -
Season 7: Speculation and Spoilers Discussion
roguetamlin replied to Minneapple's topic in Game Of Thrones
I totally agree with Rhaegar being a sh:t if he had Lyanna name Jon Aegon. He was dead before his kids were killed by the Mountain, he can't have known that he would lose. For me this brings up a bigger question that I suspect will never be answered: what the hell was Rhaegar's big plan? He hid Lyanna away to have this baby and then goes off to fight in the rebellion that he caused. Was he planning to just show up at court one day with Lyanna and Aegon2? -
It's a good mix between oh him/her and ..who's that? It doesn't matter, I'll love every episode and watch it repeatedly.

Season 7: Speculation and Spoilers Discussion
roguetamlin replied to Minneapple's topic in Game Of Thrones
I thought the unspoken agreement between Jon and Sansa about getting rid of Ramsay was part of the brutalization that has been so large a part of the stories of Jon, Sansa and Arya. Not sure if these are spoilers, but they are full of potential speculation fodder. -
I just realized Felix and Sylvester are also famous cartoon cats.
-
That's been my sense since Felix's bird experiment. Otherwise, their actions are just bizarre.

Season 7: Speculation and Spoilers Discussion

European History Degree here. The Stuarts were the descendants of Henry VIII's sister Margaret Tudor who was the Queen of Scotland. So the current queen is descended from Henry VII aka Henry Tudor, but not Henry VIII. The Stuarts were cousins of Mary, Edward and Elizabeth. -

Imagining THAT awkward conversation! Jorah: Hey I know that sword! -
Season 7: Speculation and Spoilers Discussion
roguetamlin replied to Minneapple's topic in Game Of Thrones
It's possible that she'll realize that the circumstances that led to Jon's conception are the same circumstances that led to the deaths that so scarred her family, Robert's rebellion, basically everything that happened afterwards (and yes it can be argued that the Mad King would have set off a rebellion eventually in any case, but bear with me). It also will give a new level of poison to LF's comments at Lyanna's tomb. After hearing of the evil Targaryans her whole life, suddenly the "runt" bastard brother is one and now has to go South (like Rickard, Bran 1, Eddard, Robb) to face Stark enemies and possibly now unite with HIS Targaryean relative. The Starks have already paid a high price for Targaryan folly, I can see Sansa being concerned about the next round of bloodletting. -
Season 7: Speculation and Spoilers Discussion
roguetamlin replied to Minneapple's topic in Game Of Thrones
Well now that I've been corrected TWICE, it doesn't make it feel any less out of character for Jon. I agree though, it's pretty clear to me that this is where things are pointing. Someone said upthread that it would be campy with the Wall collapsing sex and yes. Very Very Campy. -
Season 7: Speculation and Spoilers Discussion
roguetamlin replied to Minneapple's topic in Game Of Thrones
I'm really REALLY HOPING they don't go there. I mean I know that Targareyans are all about the incest, but given Jon's rather conflicted feelings/history with sex it feels very out of character. I mean yes he died, but it doesn't seem to have made him more open to Auntie Sex. Daenarys would probably be fine with it, though. Also, it feels like fan service and that would be very annoying. Having said that, I suspect we will get the literal "Ice and Fire" sex symbolism. It's been pretty clear from publicity since early on that Jon and Dany are a matched set of something. Blergh. -
S02.E08: All Stars Supergroup
roguetamlin replied to radishcake's topic in RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars
I haven't seen it yet, because for some reason iTunes delays releasing new episodes of Drag Race, but I think we all knew this was Alaska's win from day 1. Katya is my hometown girl so I was always Team Katya, I'm glad she's been able to get a lot of great publicity and new fans. -

So is that Pod or Joe Dempsie (Gendry) in the techy vest? They are similar looking and it says Joe Dempsie as Pod. Also, does anyone know what the purpose of the vest is?
