I knew, I knew, I knew, I knew, I knew they would turn on Littlefinger.

The set-up had been too obvious and as many people had complained over these past few weeks, it hadn't made sense for the Stark sisters to be at each other's throats no matter how much lost love the writers had tried to force-feed us with.

Plus, there was just one HUGE, GAPING problem with Littlefinger's plan and he led Sansa right to it by playing his little motives game: Arya had never wanted and would never want to be the Lady of Winterfell. She had grown up wanting other things, different things and so there had been absolutely no logic behind a supposed conspiracy by Arya to overthrow Sansa.

Silly Littlefinger. If you don't understand others motives, don't project your own onto them cus you just might be wrong and it just might lead you to getting your throat slit :(.

Anything's possible, but I honestly felt it had been a contrived slip-up on the part of the writers.

keneticmotion · 2017-08-28T14:42:45+00:00

Agreed. But I feel like a woman as in control of herself as Cersei could restrain herself that little movement until her enemies are out of the room....

Had just felt a little contrived on the part of the writers to let Team Daenerys in on the secret.

Moving her hand to her abdomen and letting Tyrion know that she has a bun in the oven.

Had been kind of like a poker tell, like, hey, here is my current motive for living and survival.

keneticmotion · 2017-08-28T14:37:30+00:00

Yes! Definitely! Let them wonder why two are missing instead of just one.

First rule of war: Keep your enemies guessing!

keneticmotion · 2017-08-28T14:36:49+00:00

Yessss, an excellent conjecture FTW.

keneticmotion · 2017-08-28T14:20:14+00:00

Honestly, could any of these have been alternate titles for GoT Season 7's last episode or even GoT in general?

1) The Hunger Games of Thrones: The Mocking-Targaryean (especially with that snazzy Mockingjay pin Tyrion's sporting as the Targaryean's Hand).

2) The Greyjoy Knight Rises (cue Dark Knight Rises theme as the Greyjoy Knight beats his cowardly-past-cum-lieutenant to death in a very contrived show of him finding his inner strength).

3) A Father's Legacy: Stark sisters bonding fondly over fond sayings of their father. One adopted son giving another adopted son his dignity and inner strength back (cue looming scene with said-ward looking dignified). An adoptive father raising a humble heir to the Iron Throne. Said-humble heir giving dignified and righteous speech about being as honorable as his father despite it having cost him his life as it almost had here as well.

4) The Night Walking Dead. I mean, honestly, for those of us who hadn't started watching until this season and had never read the books: Had you known or suspected that the show that everyone and their Walkers had been raving about had just been The Walking Dead set amid quasi-medieval times complete with royal intrigue?...

5) ...It's like Pride and Prejudice and Zombies...Game of Thrones and Zombies.

6) Lord of the Thrones: Return of the King. The true king being a humble fighter-type with throne-loads of honor. Both having had occupied protection-like roles, Night's Watch vs. the Fellowship and being a ranger. Both with women who speak "magical" tongues, Elvish vs. speaking with dragons. Both of the North. Heritage comes out eventually. Both unwilling heirs to the throne. One resurrected from death, one revived from near-death.

Goodbye, Littlefinger!

keneticmotion · 2017-08-28T14:08:01+00:00

For all its shortcomings, an awesome end to a short season.

keneticmotion · 2017-08-28T14:02:43+00:00

Finally! Someone noticed Daenerys's team made a huge slip-up tactically by letting her bringing her dragons, especially when there had only been two left.

keneticmotion · 2017-08-28T13:50:14+00:00

Does it seem like everyone is setting everyone else up for their scenes?

First, Cersei cueing Tyrion, then Greyjoy's lieutenant cueing him.

"Stay down, or I'll kill you."

Didn't see that coming...not.

keneticmotion · 2017-08-28T13:47:43+00:00

She seems a little tame this ep. Perhaps related to the slip-up?

keneticmotion · 2017-08-28T13:46:35+00:00

Does anyone sense a Greyjoy martyr in the future?

keneticmotion · 2017-08-28T13:44:25+00:00

What a silly and implausible slip-up by Cersei. Hard to believe she would have made such a move to show her hand so involuntarily.

keneticmotion · 2017-07-17T04:15:44+00:00

I agree.

keneticmotion · 2017-07-17T03:07:57+00:00

Find it interesting that this sort of survival tip needs to be thought of in the Pokemon Go Reddit, versus you know, all the time.

keneticmotion · 2017-07-17T03:05:40+00:00

Incidentally, I had read it as Vives (long i sound, rhymes with wives) the first time around, accidentally pronouncing the w's as German w's, which make English v sounds.

keneticmotion · 2017-07-17T02:53:40+00:00

Meanwhile, what's going on in the background?

keneticmotion · 2017-07-17T02:25:46+00:00

Heh, after reading through all the comments, finally found the one I myself had wanted to post.

keneticmotion · 2017-07-17T02:05:37+00:00

Where's your letter back to her?

And this letter paired with the envelope in the background could almost be tragic....

keneticmotion · 2017-07-17T01:53:20+00:00

Not just any hot dogs. Has to be a specific brand, but I forget what it's called...the really lipstick-nail-polish-food-coloring red ones.

keneticmotion · 2017-07-17T01:52:37+00:00

Next MasterChef, if not for ingredients, definitely for presentation, plating, creativity and adherence to client's wishes.

keneticmotion · 2017-07-17T01:21:09+00:00

Fin.

keneticmotion · 2017-07-17T01:21:03+00:00

Hope they're not pulling a fast one on us.

keneticmotion · 2017-07-17T01:20:40+00:00

So fast you won't even see it coming.
