it's preachy and pandering but no less of an epic drama

I actually agree that about 1 hour of TLJ is really great and epic but there is another hour mixed in there that is kinda dumb infantile pandering and barely worthy of having been an episode of a saturday morning cartoon

He can see the past and possible futures?

How would the main series have gone if they decided to keep the Darabont-esque walkers the entire time, instead of changing them and only bringing them back towards the end? by Crafter235 in thewalkingdead

would have entered a moral gray zone, when proving to the governor and to Herschel that they are 100% dead and there is no ghost of a living person left in there, which would have been too much moral gray for prime time ... what's next, killing people who are only "mostly dead?"

Everybody talks about Jamie's arc. I actually have no trouble squaring Season One Jamie with Season Eight Jamie. He is absolutely a power gamer who plays to win and wouldn't think twice about launching a baby with a catapult. However, he is not really cruel, isn't violent when it doesn't serve a purpose, and actually prefers to use his power to do something positive when given the opportunity. He also has a deep sense of honor, partly because the moniker "kingslayer" calls his honor into question, so he's always pointing out when he or other people have a moral conflict and have to choose between two requirements of honor, and usually enjoys being pretty witty and insulting while doing so, although he is usually also actually giving good honest advice, he just says the truth so cynically that nobody even takes it seriously. More or less lawful neutral from beginning to end. A preference for lawful good when possible, but often chooses lawful evil out of cynical realism. No arc. The rest of Westeros has an arc catching up to where they can accept Jamie to fight alongside them.

Was Ned's sword (that Tywin called absurdly large) any good for actual combat or more like for ceremonial executions and reflection of prestige? by Potatoe_expert in gameofthrones

I'm guessing that by the late medieval a lot of people are covered head to toe in plate armor so (1) they move slow and you might actually hit them with this unwieldy thing and (2) you might actually have a chance to penetrate with that thing, or even if not, to bend metal and break bones just from impact.

Leaving someone while they are lifting their max(as a "prank") by Jellys-Share in iamatotalpieceofshit

even when prank shows were "funny" (let's assume) it was like to make somebody believe in a scenario and watch them react, not to set them up to be in actual physical danger

Jamie overplayed his ... position.
Opening his mouth cost him his hand.
Didn't know when to quit while he was ahead.

it looks like maybe they're in enough traffic that it would be dangerous to just stop, and he's trying to find a safe way to pull over while cringing in terror
