I once taught at an international school for little genius kids. It was very progressive and they always learned every country in the world.

The one 5 year old German kid absolute hated Denmark. He would refuse to draw the flag. He wouldn't put the Denmark piece into the puzzle. I asked him why.

I was just thinking to myself about how I was not looking forward to the Hot Take cycle whenever* we get Winds. Talking about any sort of media has become so reductive that you can't have a conversation about anything with regards to any sort of complexity and nuance. There's no discussion anymore it's just Thing Good or Thing Bad.

Lol that reminds me of another Netflix show, the Medici one. Much like GoT, it has lots of medieval weirdos running around hitting each other with swords and taking their shirts off. Not great, fine romp though.

But it has Robb Stark and Sean Bean as Cosimo de’Medici and Iacopo Pazzi, respectively. And surrounded by posh and italian actors they make no attempt to do anything but the exact same gruff northern sword man persona despite being supposedly these cunning scheming banker types. It’s really funny

Season One feels less like Cosimo biopic and more “Robb Stark goes to Firenze” isekai

Lol didn't even have to google to think that Sean Bean eats it here

:siren: SECRET PREVIEW: The Winds of Winter :siren:

Jon Starkgaryen Snow, Undead Warg Lord Commander of the Night's Watch, stood atop the Wall, despairing. The Others had come, and the pale pinpoints of their dead eyes filled the dark field below like a galaxy of stars.

To his left and right, the Wall's last stalwart defenders gave up all hope, and Jon wrinkled his nose at the stench as they loosed their bowels upon the ramparts. Hot brown sludge flowed like day-old cocoa down the legs of their black breeches, freezing in slippery pools upon the ice.

Jon raised Longclaw, an impotent gesture against the vast horde, but he would die with honor - just like the last time, and maybe the time before that.

Then he heard the sound, a deep thrumming like the sound of wind whipping through the banners over Winterfell's high towers. He looked up into the gray sky and saw them, three sets of leathery wings beating down. Dragons. One was larger than his brothers - a black nightmare that carried a slim woman with silvery hair.

The rumors of the dragon queen across the sea had reached Eastwatch months before, but Jon was shocked to see her here, at the Wall. She should have been in King's Landing.

The booming crack of ice breaking brought him back to the here and now. The black dragon had settled its great claws on the wall like an eagle perching on a pine bough, but Jon was startled to see it facing south, away from the oncoming horde of undead.

Then the dragon queen stood on the great beast's back. She looked longingly to the south, and Jon knew that her thoughts were of her birthright, the Iron Throne.

All had gone quiet upon the Wall. Jon's few remaining men simply gawked at the black dragon and his brothers circling far above. In the silence, Jon heard the dragon queen speak, her soft voice clear as silver bells in the crisp air. "To go south, I must first poo poo north."

Jon watched as she hiked her silk robe around her graceful, curving hips, exposing the pale, soft skin of her buttocks. She gave a little grunt, and a steaming torrent of viscous fluid shot out, arcing into the space beyond the wall.
The dragon staggered from the force of the blast, but held its ground. The hot brown liquid froze immediately in the fierce north wind, and as it plummeted toward the earth, the turds became razor sharp crystals of putrid ice. They tore into the ranks of the Others, shredding the cold, otherworldly knights.

Hope surged in Jon's chest, and he grinned madly and shouted at the dragon queen. Just then, another great beast landed on the wall and stared at Jon with its smouldering eyes. Rather than recoil in horror, Jon took two long strides, and without thinking, found himself at the dragon's side, climbing its cream-colored scales to its back.

Something hot moved within him, like a lamprey still wriggling in its pie. He turned his back to the Others, dropped his trousers and gave a great push...

To be continued in 2029 loving never.

started a rewatch of the show for unknown reasons, probably because I hate myself I guess. the first sign that the quality is about to go south in S4 was when Tanner started twirling his stupid daggers around like a dipshit. also beggar's belief how the show had the hound make a big point of Syrio getting offed because his opponent had armour and a bigger weapon, and then cut to Ramsay running around shirtless like some anime villain against several heavily armoured and armed soldiers.

We started rewatching but canceled HBO. I just have the first four seasons on DVD from when I wasn’t burned. Seems like a good place to end, with four being where the cracks start. Just gonna pretend it got canceled before Bad Pussy.

Are the commentary tracks any good? I’d like to hear from some actors and crew but not so much D&D

That entire season(s?) felt like somehow the guy who played Ramsay got let into the writers room by accident and just kept suggesting dumb poo poo like this and the real writers were too shy to shoot it down. The “twenty good men” thing was essentially the same, like the guy was a bad parody fanfic villain until it was time for him to die, before then he was untouchable
