what's the infatuation with incest by this guy?!

that's at least three different instances of it (Jaime/Ceirsie, Jon Snow and his sister, and now the uncle and his niece)

it's almost like watching a Woody Allen film about old schmuck dating hot young coeds in EVERY movie!


Don't ever look into the British royal family.
To be fair, while the royal houses in Europe went way further than you or I would ever want to, there weren't any straight up brother/sister marriages. In Britain there haven't been any uncle/niece marriages that I can think of.

But to put it into perspective, by the time WW1 broke out, the Heads of State of England, Germany and Russia were all first cousins.
I learned all about the Habsburgs, in European Military History. Best class I ever took at A&M.

Seipp was (is?) awesome. Took basically every class he offered.

Ah I was going to say I had a Euro history prof here. His class was 1500s-1800s European history but I can't recall his name and it wasn't Dr. Seipp, he's too young.

No one was triggered. It's just a bad look, watching a handful of Aggies publicly disparaging a woman's looks on the internet, in the year 2022, and a few of us noted as much. No one said you don't have the "right" to post your opinion, nor did anyone say you had to find her attractive, or agree with the way she chooses to express herself. We simply commented that it was somewhat cringeworthy to read, and expressed bewilderment at you becoming so unhinged over the matter, considering it affects your life in no way, shape, or form. That's it and that's all.
Agreed

this entire situation of messing up threads on TexAgs could have been averted if they had just cast a hotter "Old Ranayra"

if the idiots would have cast Keira Knightley- problem solved!




Sorry, my wife was tied up in other projects during casting and couldn't swing both. Kills us knowing how popular this show is too.

Truth. Last I saw, he was a Dean or something in the department.

Yea I need to rewatch the opening scene because i didn't quite catch what exactly happened with him. I thought they said he was like 'lost at sea'? but he's also sick?

I didn't really understand what his issue/status was. Like, did they know where he was, but unsure he's mentally well? or he was mentally unwell and is also now missing?


They said he fell overboard into the sea, not lost at Sea (from what I remember). I took it as he was wounded by the dagger, and then fell into the sea. The sea water caused the wound to get infected which spread (septic?). I didn't get the impression he was missing.

The Valeryon's being black never bothered me, because they stayed consistent with it. I also agree it makes the questionable parentage much more apparent, which helps for the show by highlighting how purposefully blind Viserys is. Also, the white dreads on darker complected skin is a cool and exotic look for a family we are introduced to who seems very removed from the rest of Westeros.

Definitely handled better than Rings of Power, where I'm still confused as to whether Nori's "mother" is actually her mother or her step-mother.

I'm hoping the Cowboys game gets out of hand enough to switch away and start HotD. Not sure if I'll be able to wait until tomorrow.

I have no idea who'd have seen it already but episode 9 currently has a 9.9 on IMDb.

Do you have to have seen it to post a review?

I'm sure it's just eager fanboys/girls or anticipatory book readers.

I'll post the same thing I posted last week when an IMDb rating was posted before the episode even aired…

TCTTS said:

I'm confused. Who has even seen the episode at this point, especially someone who would go and rate it on IMDb?

I don't know why people even report/rely on IMDb ratings. They're notoriously unreliable and pretty much a joke.


Might as well go to a zoo and ask all the animals what they thought of any given movie/episode. That's how irrelevant IMDb ratings are.

You talking before airing or in general? I find they're at least a good indicator of episodes that are very good.

She doesn't like Rhaenyra enough to be a kinslayer.

Edit to add: I feel like her support of Rhaenyra has more to do with her kind of vicariously living through another girl heir. Plus Corlys seems to be firmly camp Rhaenyra for his "grandsons"

I guess she was okay with killing hundreds of innocent people though.
