Randarkman posted:Not saying that the Templars weren't gay (everyone everywhere was gay) but I wouldn't put much stock in anythign in those trials representing anything close to reality. Those kinds of accusations and trials revolving around prohibited worship, sexual deviancy, and all that crap, were pretty much Phillip the Fair's modus operandi whenever he was going to take someone down because he wanted their poo poo and no one could really stop him, he did the same thing against at least one pope, an archbishop and I think several unruly vassals. Having read a few weighty tomes on the subject at one point, I would say there's a lot of academic debate on the veracity of the accusations, mostly because of the sheer volume of testimonies that have come down to us. So you get people who think that the Templars did spit on the cross, but as part of some hazing ritual that simulated capture, or that they didn't worship Baphomet (Mahomet) but had integrated Islamic ideas, and so on. But here is a concise overview on the subject of buggery for interested parties.

my bat mitzvah ROCKED posted:I never watched dexter or sopranos or other shows with notorious endings. How does this awful poo poo compare The GoT ending was just stupid and predictable, loaded with spectacle and characters acting inside their plotted arcs, even if, for most of them, it meant regressing right back to the start or skipping ahead to the end without any of the buildup. It's fun to poo poo on because of how disappointing it was compared to its earliest seasons, but its greatest crime is that of being dull. Dexter's ending lives on in infamy, because the show had cannoned right through dull and predictable and entered some kind of nigh-uncharted territory on the other side. The central character of the last season was a psychologist whose entire character was lifted from the autism advocacy movement, talking about how the neuro-atypical aren't people we need to ostracize or "cure," but instead accept them into polite society as they provide a different and beautiful perspective on the world whose loss would benefit no one. Except instead of autists, she advocated for serial killers. It's revealed that she's the psychologist who treated Dexter as a child and turned him into a serial killer, on the grounds that with his childhood trauma, there was no scenario in which he wouldn't grow up to murder people, so you might as well turn him into a responsible mass murderer. D&D shat out the lowest-effort turd they could while high on their own farts and coke or whatever the en vogue writers' room drug of choice is these days, but the Dexter people went somewhere amazing, and I think people are underselling it when they only ever talk about the last 20 minutes of the show.

Finished up season 1 again. That was a weird season finale. Lots of cutaways to random scenes of T&A which I appreciate, but I could do without watching Roz wipe Pycelle's stink dick out of her cooch and then see Pycelle hang dong. Littlefinger managed to comment on Varys lacking any balls in a manner that was almost poetic. Varys's gash indeed. And now Dany gets to walk across a desert for several episodes to get to the land of bad Arabian nights knockoffs

Dexter did only decide not to be a 90s comic book antihero because the outfit was impractical.

That shot was the one thing in the series that made me give an audible reaction - not Ned's execution, not the Red Wedding, that shot. Unfortunately the reaction was a snort of laughter and "oh my God, really?"

I don't care what the writers wanted, that dragon burnt that throne because he saw the knife stuck in his mom and decided it was the chair full of knives that killed her. The writers be damned, whoever first typed that made the real game of thrones story and I accept it as such for all conversations. After all the dragon can't read minds, it wasn't there to observe Jon do it, and it's always been pitbill-intelligence not Smaug-from-The-Hobbit-intelligence.

It could maybe explain why they lingered in the scene where the dragon stared at them making out at the cave or whatever. But really no I have no idea why we the audience just stared at the dragon right after their dialogue about their relationship. It goes loving no where! We don't know. We had so many characters die to poochie syndrome.

Jon was her mate, why would Jon kill her? The dragons being dumb animals may also explain why unmanned dragons get one-shotted, while a ridden dragon can dodge all day long. These are apex predators who didn't have an adult dragon show them how to dragon. Nothing has ever hurt them, so they fly around completely oblivious to danger. As a teenager Dany is also pretty oblivious and never bothered with any kind of combat drills for the dragons, but she is capable of recognising some types of danger the dragons aren't smart enough to put together, like ballistas.

There is just no defending the logic of the throne burning scene. There is no context in the story to explain it, it simply happens.
