Stannis will probably burn Shireen when the wall has fallen and Winterfell is surrounded by white walkers with no hope left besides sacrificing kings blood to wake a dragon. He'll do it and it'll fail and he'll die tragically because he isn't azor ahai. Which is to say he'll never burn Shireen because the next book is never coming out.

This sounds much more reasonable than what happened in the show - I'd buy it a lot more.

Maybe he'll finally stop listening to Melisandre and his fanatic wife will kill him and burn their daughter in a botched reverse gender azor azai attempt.

Lol, yeah Shangela is fine. She can stick to a character at least, which is more than you can say for someone like Milk. Drag was in a different place in the first couple seasons of drag race and it would be silly to judge shan based on that.

If you think that, along the way, you're not going to fail... you're blind.

There's no one I've ever met, no matter how successful they are, who hasn't said they had their failures along the way.

Milk seems extremely out there in a way that makes me wonder about their mental health.

I'll just stick to Kim Chi.

Vanity Fair has an article explaining how angry GRRM is that the show is ahead of him and ruining his twists by revealing them before he writes them.

At this point I think he is rewriting WoW to make it different since he is now mad about the show.

"GRRM has decided to 'change' things" isn't new though, he's been pissing and moaning things like that for the last couple years. Including that some character who died 2-3 seasons ago would have a different fate in the books (probably Dorian, or maybe Shireen given she isn't with Stannis) that he doesn't plan to write.

I never got the obsessive love for Stannis that a lot of people developed. Especially when all the signs in the books around him all but explicitly scream that this isn't the guy you should be rooting for.

Dying a miserable and inglorious death is the perfect end for Stannis Baratheon, a miserable and inglorious man to his core.

Stannis is an especially zealous born again Christian. It's also really clear that he might be 'fair' but he would be a theocratic puppet and tyrant while thinking he was doing the best for his people.

In an interview way back, Martin groused about the absence of Horror and Slobber in the show. I guess they were twins or something? Anyway, according to Martin, they have a part to play in future books. You've got to be loving kidding me. That's nearly as dumb as taking a racist elevator joke and turning it into a big reveal for Ho-de-do Hodor.

Between seasons he became a Marc Jacobs model and has been in a bunch of big fashion shows and I think it's gone to his head. He didn't exactly have a small sense of his art to begin with.

That's not really what the book Stannis is in his principles. He's essentially going along with the ride with R'hllor because exploiting Melisandre has been effective in many different ways.

Y'know I'm not knocking it because I haven't tried it. I just want to say that it is surreal to have gone to sleep and woken up in a world where Drag Race is not only a well-established, venerable franchise with multiple All-Star Seasons, but that it has taken over the GRRM thread without even trying.

Start with season 4 and go forward. If you end up liking it then go back and watch 1-3 realizing that they're not as strong or funny.

Lies and slander. 2-5 are all peak Drag Race in different ways.

Starting at 4 is a good idea, though. But I would watch 2 and 3 before moving to 5 personally. Just make sure to peep those seasons before watching 6-onward.

And make sure you're watching Untucked after each episode, as well.

Sorry you can't lump Architecture in the same "Fantasy schlock" category as say... watching Game of Thrones, collecting Unicorns, or vintage Oz books or whatever. I think you'll need a new category.
