The scythe was awesome.
Ygritte's last line - kind of inevitable, wasn't it?
Nandi: I ain't her. Mal: Only people in this room is you and me.

As for Penny Dreadful - I hate Vanessa's backstory. Meh.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
she's earned it.
She brought up the cave in the first place. It seemed a petty way to go out with a guy you'd just been espousing warm sentiment for.
Someone on IO9 seemed to be talking from the book said that the giants are done--two was all they had. But I have no idea if that was true.
I did yell Oliphaunts! And then had Sam thoughts, although he doesn't really have a Frodo, then as he sat there with no concern for self-preservation with the guy Ygritte speared, I thought of him as a comfortador. And then he went badass--he's the Zeppo.
Oh.

Because books.
It seemed a petty way to go out with a guy you'd just been espousing warm sentiment for.
It came across as the kind of shorthand people in love sometimes have, not as an actual insult. For me, anyway.

To me it either sounded like a dispassioned reprimand or basically fanservice. Nothing organic about it at all.

Really? Sounded like an endearment sort of thing to me.

Enh, we disagree. I think it's so overused I only laugh when I hear it.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
So, in a fit of procrastination, I am doing a Bragging Rights Prediction Pool for the GoT finale.
By necessity, there are pretty major spoilers for the books.

Compassionately intolerant

I will be interested to see what others say about it over time, but I think I'm dropping Penny Dreadful. It's not creepy fun, it's just ugly.

Worse than that, it's boring. I assume we'll get back to the stories I find more interesting next week.
