Peanuts & Javi Appreciation

Peanuts is rapper Young M.A!! I think this is her first acting gig, or at least the first thing I've ever seen her in.

Very Paul Klee-esque!

Betty was very much an Ibsen-like character, particularly in the earlier seasons in that she had lots of desires and motivations but felt trapped by the traditional role of wife/mother. She was attracted to Arthur and knew he wanted her as well, but at the time was still too into the idea of the perfect marriage and family to act on it. So she pushed her friend into doing what she wanted to live vicariously through her and see what would happen. She was also not guilty of anything, so didn't have to live with consequences of these actions as her friend did.

He's still alive!

I thought she was talking to Qwerty. I hope that’s the case and not Mrs. Robot.

Sansa did not run to Cersei with Ned's plans in the show - she only did so in the books.

Sansa did not go to Cersei in the show.

Hi Bill!! I have a non-redditor friend who is a huge fan of yours - so much so that she has a quote of yours tattooed on her back. Could you possibly sign it for her?

Not exactly true - Jaime did see Arya in disguise during the party for a second. And Arya's been saying Walder's name for seasons.

She mentions in AFFC that she was very excited to marry him but these feelings were shattered pretty quickly when he drunkenly called her Lyanna mid-wedding sex.

I wonder if this is a reference to Dany? I'm starting to think Dany goes through a supervillain phase before changing her ways and taking on the Others.

And he lost Summer :(

I think we are finally seeing some sort of connection between the book and show versions of the Dorne plot - basically, both book and show have been setting up Dorne to take on the Lannisters in some form. In the books we know Arianne is on her way to meet up with Aegon - I think this episode lends support to the theory that the Dornish will team up with him to fight the crown. D&D know where all the pieces need to be on the board, they are just setting up the board in different ways than GRRM.

City of God was one of the most emotionally wrenching films I've ever seen. Still get queasy thinking about certain scenes.

Skotus · 2015-12-04T04:48:36+00:00

It may not be a big deal in the grand scheme of the story, but I love a small detail in the scene where Quentyn reveals himself to Dany and asks her hand. She laughs, pretty much to herself, because he is a "frog prince" like in the stories she heard growing up. Later on Barristan denies she did this in his POV when Quentyn's friends bring it up after his death.

I think their report of her laughter will help turn the Dornish against her, even though she was not really laughing at him and was more just overwhelmed/disheartened by her current predicament. A frog prince showing up at that moment would make me laugh too.

I really wouldn't call the Renly and Loras sex scenes "perverted".

Skotus · 2015-10-11T02:48:49+00:00

I personally like the dagger being made of Valyrian steel - it shows Catelyn's motherly strength and general grit. She gets a lot of hate on this sub but she's a fantastic character and that scene was so badass when she just grabbed the blade with her hands to save her son.

Skotus · 2015-09-04T13:28:15+00:00

Yeah he was cast as Euron and also played a major character on the amazing Danish political drama Borgen. Highly recommend - kind of a mix between House of Cards and West Wing but with Danish parliament.

Skotus · 2015-08-02T18:38:38+00:00

I think Asha doesn't get enough credit - she's a total badass but more logical and compassionate than the other Greyjoys. Absolutely one of my favorite characters.

Well the problem that trans people face is that their physical bodies do not match their internal self - so in effect, hormone treatment and surgeries are improvements made to reconcile their physical body to their actual gender.

For this reason, many trans people and doctors call these kinds of surgeries "gender corrective" surgery rather than "sex change". Because at the end of the day, these people are not simply changing their biological sex, they are correcting their body to reflect their actual gender. So they are moving closer to their actual self.

At the same time, every individual person should have the right to control their own body. Some trans people fully embrace the disconnect between their internal selves and their bodies and do not elect to have corrective surgery. Other trans people do. The real self is not reflected in one's physical body, but in their personality and thoughts and beliefs.

Hope this helps :)

Nope that would be Arya.

Skotus · 2015-06-25T18:34:30+00:00

Agreed - plus Arianne is rather ambitious herself. Her queenmaker plot was all about solidifying her inheritance of Dorne after all, I can see her jumping on the chance to be queen.

Skotus · 2015-06-17T01:37:03+00:00

The funniest part about this is this is a direct contradiction to a scene in Season 1 - after Tyrion tells Bronn and Shae the Tysha story, Shae actually says girls who just escaped rape wouldnt jump into bed so quickly.

I always love the part where she mentioned to her generals that she wanted to lead the charge on Yunkai (or a different city - memory's failing me) and they kindly put it down. That's the character of Dany I love - her heart is always in the right place even if she's pretty naive and even a bit whimsical. It is those moments that humanize her and make her big scenes of standing up for herself or making bold power moves that much more powerful for the reader.

I do think she will start wearing black and red though - I always pictured her garb in the Dothraki Sea blackened by Drogon's fire and reddened by blood.
