Mr. Scola’s wardrobe by Botany 500

And, as this episode illustrates, Starks will keep their word way past the limits of common sense.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I'm not saying he would announce Jon was the heir, but surely he would be at least a little conflicted about telling Robert he has the best claim to the throne. He might even put Robert on the throne but he would justify it differently. Knowing there was a legit heir would eat him up. I just don't buy it.

Hey. New board.

- and even told him the baby's name! -- why wouldn't she have mentioned that she and the babydaddy were married, by the way?

She did. She said his last name was Targaryan, not Sand. That's means they were married.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

A scene was cut explaining the turnaround on Littlefinger. Apparently that wasn't playacting by Arya to fool Littlefinger. Pretty sloppy storytelling to leave this information out:

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

That cut scene is pretty lazy storytelling in itself.

Right? You've got an omniscient character in the room. That's kind of cheating.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

We watched 1.5 eps of American Gods and I kind of hate it. Will that change or is the season the same? And I love Ricky Whittle (Shadow Moon) and Ian McShane and was really excited for this show. Sigh.

Our wings are not tired.

Oh dear! Sad to hear that because I haven't watched yet and want to love it.

Also, holding off on watching the last 2 GoT episodes to delay season's end. I don't like to watch the last ones available often on series because then I don't have any more. It is irrational, but I seem to do it often. (and don't mind being spoiled at all)

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I don't know Glam. I loved it from the beginning. So, it's hard to say.
