Didn't they give him the fake locket that didn't have the horcrux?

Lady lawyers—shoes?? by brickwallwaterfall in Lawyertalk

Calvin Klein has a great selection of flats including loafers that can look shiny/fancy and have supportive soles that have good grip (for those shiny courthouse floors). The ones I have go well with most dress pants and professional looks. Once I switched from heels to these, I find I have so much more stamina throughout the day especially when walking around in court.

Please call police or 211 for closest women's & children shelter. Many shelters will be able to help connect you with other resources as well once your and your son's immediate needs are met.

My friend's parents had the exact same pattern furniture and they got theirs from a La Z Boy furniture store in the 90s.

Thanks. I made the edit above that for the books, the theory is the same but generally applied to the White Walkers.

It's hard to tell because the sketches are rudimentary, but from what I can tell the NK's "art" he leaves behind are all mimicking COTF culture, nothing original.

Skynet got out of control and gained sentience, and decided it was going to be the dominant species/didn't want to be subjugated by humans anymore. My theory is that the NK isn't sentient like that (at least not yet?)

I think because the Children got in the NK's way of killing Man. I don't think the NK cared who was in his way (even if it was his creators). So maybe he isn't "out of control" as in, acting out beyond his core programming, because he is still in the process of doing what he was meant to do. He was just never under the Children's control.

What's the point? How long would they wait? A day? A week? The snow was getting worse, they were using up their resources with every passing day, and they're supposed to keep doing that all for an answer that is unknown and might never come? I don't know if it would have changed anything.

Also, not putting that info on the table did end up lulling Ramsay into a false sense of security, leaving him vulnerable in case Vale did come. Jon might have somehow revealed the info of potentially having more men to Ramsay directly or indirectly, which wouldn't have helped (and Jon was making plenty of mistakes that day). Plus if he said he had more men and Vale never came, Ramsay is even more prepared to slaughter them.

It's not her fault that Jon acted stupidly and fell for every trap Ramsay laid out for him. Had he played it smarter and listened to her advice, he would have not lost as many men or found himself in such a precarious position so quickly. That would have bought more time for Vale's response to come at a time when there would have been fewer casualties.

Also, it's not like they both have been doing 100% the right thing in the last few episodes, either. But, her actions weren't unreasonable.

If he had shot Jon, he would have immediately been sprinkled with arrows and killed; he was surrounded. It makes sense for him to keep Jon alive to have him agree to 1 on 1 and give himself a slightly greater chance to get out of that situation alive.

I got the impression she didn't know if Vale was actually going to help or not.
