Walk of Punishment

netgirl_y2kI have fallen victim to an apocalyptic death cold, luckily I only really had two reactions to this week's Game of Thrones.
Obviously, the part of me that was prepared to fly to New Zealand and start punching people in the face if Eowyn's "I am no man" line was cut from Return of the King fucking adored Dany's "All men must die... but we are not men."
Dany's stuff is definitely proving to be a highlight for me this season. I get a bit fixated on Sansa sometimes and forget how much I love Dany too, and I think she's at her best when she's in full on unrepentant dragon queen mode. And this year she's doing things to me.
Congratulations, in the scene with Tyrion, Bronn, and Pod in the brothel you've created a scene so devoid of merit that not even the presence of Peter Dinklage could salvage anything from it. You'd get a prize for that except, ew, yuck, you deserve no prizes.
It was even more annoying coming on the back of the scene where the Lannister siblings are playing passive aggressive power games with furniture, proving that the show can do subtle character dynamics when it wants to.
And on that note, my germs and I are off to bed.

Booo, no Sansa or Margaery.

i was really impressed with the scenic stuff for Riverrun. they made it look really pretty, much more beautiful than i imagined in the book. and the Blackfish was perfect.
hope you feel better soon!
