Huh , apparently Iceland has a very successful eugenics program that's almost eliminated all births of persons who have downs syndrome

thats just a side effect of how they need to keep every other marriage from being between first cousins because there's about 40 icelanders

to such a degree people can't even really agree on why
i say it's from lowering pollution and having more tv and video james and computer's.

also because cop's finally figured out what a serial killer is

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

it's kind of bad actually because they've been just chopping away at all the side plots and tying loose ends which i would generally be in support of except they're doing it in a really clumsy and lazy way

like in the last episode it's clear that jon snow is completely unfit to be a leader because he keeps making the worst possible decisions but he has plot armor so he can't die or lose

Counter Point : resolving all the sub plots moves things forward


Also last loving episode was baller. Actually every episode has had a crazy awesome sequence. I like the reduced number of episodes cause poo poo happens.

yeah which is a good thing but it's kind of clear they dont really care about gracefully ending some of these subplots vs just chainsawing away big chunks

like the blackfish. yeah he was pretty much inconsequential but to give him some screen time and then just kill him off screen was lazy

or benjen showing up for a literal "no time to explain" rear end saving for no reason other than forced drama and to be like "btw this loose end? he's dead now"

i dont think thrones is like high art or even good prestige tv vs spectacle but it's obvious how little they care about anything but ending the show and firing up lower budget spinoffs

any writing which requires previously competent characters to act like total scrubs just to make action happen is lazy. like christ jon at least bring an emergency raven or something on your super dangerous mission which you didn't need to do anyway

I just see it as them saying " Well we got one more season so we need to wrap up every loose end".

there's a lot of stuff that bothers me in game of thrones but prly the most consistent thing is that major characters love hanging out at the very edge of windy precipices, like in the last ep as tyrion was watching dany depart with her dragons he was standing directly underneath them and their backblast at his fav brooding spot, at the edge of a thousand foot high cliff

the impossible nature of most of asoiaf's castles is the source of my pet theory that they were built by aliens who then became the wight walkers or children of the forest or whatever

impossible architecturally or as defensive works because that part has seemed plausibly fanciful to me with the exception of harrenhal

Nah it was pretty common to build castles like that. You can accomplish a lot if you have a labor force but don't care about their misery.





They obviously were not as big as GoT but building castles on top of a cliff or on top of a giant plateu was pretty common

That walkway they go up to Dany's new castle, whatever its called is 100% real just the castle is fake. There was a castle though there. Anyway yea, that walkway up from the shore is real.
