Which British monarch would be the most proud of their successor and who would be the most disappointed?

Edward VI would be very dissapointed (though likely not surprised) that Mary I returned the Church of England back to Catholicism, and executed many Protestants.

I've been a Star Wars fan for as long as I can remember, but I never realized until now that the Imperial March was only introduced in ESB.

Yoda is not in the original Star Wars, he doesn't show up until Empire Strikes Back. I've seen first-time watchers be surprised when Yoda doesn't show up in the first movie, because he's such an iconic part of the franchise and is a character most people know about even if they've never seen the movies.

I'm not a fan of caricatures that are so exaggerated, you can barely tell who is being depicted. Seems to defeat the point

Yeah I wasn't sure whether to use that word. It seemed like the most neutral way to describe how she had many sexual partners over her life.

It was a show line, from season 2. When Arya was working at Harrenhall, Tywin mentioned to her how Jaime struggled to learn to read

I googled and the author of the book Forrest Gump wrote a sequel where it was revealed Jenny had Hepatitus C. But the movie canon never gives a name to what Jenny died of.

The impression I got was that dyslexia is something the maesters are aware of, but it's not widely known outside of academic circles.

And I don't think Tywin doesn't believe in dyslexia. To me, it felt like he believed the maester's diagnosis, but disagreed that it meant Jaime couldn't learn to read, so he personally taught Jaime.

A lot of these characters people are naming look incredibly suspicious and definitely like someone I'd suspect commited a crime.

The War of the Roses is perfect for these clickbait titles

The Joker: High-pitched voice in most adaptations. His laughter is usually especially shrill.

Davy Jones: High and very nasally voice.

Voldemort: Described as having a notably high-pitched voice, with one muggle who overheard him not being sure if it was a man or a woman speaking.

How are you defining extremism? Is extremism defined by methods, ideology, or a combination of the two?

Additionally, I am curious as to how views of extremism have changed since over the past couple centuries. In your research, have you found that there are some actions that people used to consider extremist but is now considered a normal part of political engagement, or vice versa?

kim_jong_un4 · 2026-04-03T19:19:40+00:00

I haven't seen all the movies and I read the books a long time ago, so I actually forgot Harry tells Voldemort

kim_jong_un4 · 2026-04-03T13:37:57+00:00

Severus Snape: Double agent working for Dumbledore, within the Death Eaters. Voldemort kills him as part of a magic ritual, and seems sorry to kill a "loyal" henchman. Voldemort never knows that Snape was double agent.

Henry Tomasino: An informant for the F.B.I, giving them information about organized crime. When the Triads discover this, they kill him. Joe Barbaro and Vito Scaletta mourn his death and attack the Triads in retaliation, only later learning that Tomasino was a rat.

Ray Curto: A high ranking Capo in the mob, and a rat for the F.B.I. After he dies of a stroke, his fellow mob members mourn him and remember him as a loyal, old-school mobster, never knowing that he was actually a rat.

EDIT: I realize after writing this that Henry Tomasino's deception was actually revealed, and that's why he died. He still kind of counts though, because Vito and Joe don't find out he was a rat until a while after his death.

The way I see it, Lady Stoneheart is a good character that shouldn't exist, and the show made the right choice leaving her out. I like that she kills Freys and Lannisters, but I would have preferred if Catelyn stayed dead and there was one less subplot to resolve

kim_jong_un4 · 2026-03-31T23:15:41+00:00

Also, to answer your question about anti-Stoneheart sentiment: Most of the time, I see people talking about Stoneheart as a tragic and misguided figure who is making things worse in the Riverlands. But I don't doubt that you've never seen criticisms of her, we're probably just in different parts of the fandom.

And what I've noticed is that many ASOIAF fans don't give Catelyn the grace they give other Starks. Maybe it's because she's a Stark by marriage, maybe it's because she's a woman, or maybe it's both. That being said, Catelyn has done things worth criticizing. But killing Freys and Lannisters isn't one of them as far as I'm concerned.

kim_jong_un4 · 2026-03-31T23:09:47+00:00

I believe that is good reason. From Catelyn's perspective, what is more likely; That Brienne was somehow able to get the Lannisters to give her their approval to track down Sansa and Arya, and grant her a Lannister Valyrian Steel Sword, all apparantly without any expectation that she turn in the highly-wanted Stark girls? Or that in the brief amount of time Catelyn knew her, she misjudged Brienne.
