the hound looking at the fire was like the laziest writing i've ever seen

if anyone could spend 5 seconds staring at a fire and see a huge in-depth vision I'm pretty sure those red priests would have basically taken over the world in a few weeks

Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.

As the red-headed priestess showed, sometimes their magic works and sometimes it doesn't. It's a crap shoot.

I've always thought they did a pretty good job casting Theon. The way they shoot him sure does make him look like the product of inbreeding. I haven't read the books, but I figure all the characters are supposed to be products of inbreeding, just not to the same level as the Lannister kids.

there have been 214 acts of rape in Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire book series, and 117 rape victims.

In contrast, on the show, there have been 50 acts of rape, and 29 victims. (A comparison between a 1,7770,000-word book series and just under 50 hours of TV might seem hard to make in some ways, but it is worth noting that, story-wise, by the end of season five both the books and the show will be at a similar point.)

George R. R. Martin posted:

 if you're going to write about war, and you just want to include all the cool battles and heroes killing a lot of orcs and things like that and you don't portray [sexual violence], then there's something fundamentally dishonest about that. Rape, unfortunately, is still a part of war today. It's not a strong testament to the human race, but I don't think we should pretend it doesn't exist. I want to portray struggle. Drama comes out of conflict. If you portray a utopia, then you probably wrote a pretty boring book.

He argued that the books, despite the fantasy elements,

quote:

reflect a patriarchal society based on the Middle Ages. The Middle Ages were not a time of sexual egalitarianism. It was very classist, dividing people into three classes. And they had strong ideas about the roles of women. One of the charges against Joan of Arc that got her burned at the stake was that she wore men’s clothing—that was not a small thing.

quote:

Most stories depict what I call the ‘Disneyland Middle Ages’—there are princes and princesses and knights in shining armor, but they didn’t want to show what those societies meant and how they functioned.

So yeah, dany got raped and so did loads of other women in the books and untold millions in the actual historical middle ages, get over it.

nah fam, it was the two sand snakes Euron wrecked. Each attached to the ship by their weapons of choice. I'm pretty sure Ellaria Sand and the other sand snake (maybe Yara as well, this one not too sure) will be given to the Mountain Cersei to do with as she pleases.
