What is even happening?

This Is Us creator Dan Fogelman posted a Twitter thread on an encounter with George RR Martin. It's pretty heartwarming. [link]

I watched the early seasons of GoT, but after a while I couldn't stomach the violence and sexual brutality, so I stopped. Dh kept watching, and I came back toward the end of last season.

I enjoyed last night's premiere, but somehow felt let down by the reveal of Jon Snow's parentage. Instead of burying the lede, they buried the lode, just to tease Bran and Jaime's reunion.

Our wings are not tired.

That really was a lovely heartwarming story, Cindy.

I read the books, but have watched only very little. I wasn't able to talk DH into watching with me. If I talk my sister into watching I'll binge it this summer. Violence and brutality aren't my thing, but easier to deal with in print. I should at least watch last season and this one. Still on the fence. Mostly I feel they did a glorious job with casting and aesthetics and I want to see more of it.

I have now achieved maximum nerd.

Remember when Jon B. went to theremin camp? You have now reached that level.

There were parts of this ep that dragged (like, dragons are cool and all, but that dragon ride went on forever and also felt hilariously Disney)

My feelings exactly. That time could have been used for more story!

Arya jumping into Jon's arms was adorable. Jon asking her if she's killed anyone with her sword had me cackling, because oh honey, your sister has probably hands-on killed more people than you.

Also, Arya's interaction with The Hound was note-perfect. I still want them to end up as friends, but who knows if that'll happen.

SANSA IS THE SMARTEST PERSON. I want the show to end with her on the Iron Throne.

Jon has 86 kills, while Sansa has 64.

Edit: That count includes Jon's killing of the undead, which I don't think is exactly fair.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

That was some impressive nerdage, Tom.

Scola with the answer! But yeah, I don't think the killing of the undead counts.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I found myself really really pretty over any and all Targaryen nonsense and am now firmly rooting for Sansa to win with Lady Mormont as her Hand.
