Prodigy: People died.

The fact that now Chapel is canonically bad at making plomeek soup makes TOS even funnier. Like he's not just throwing that soup against the wall because he's close to Pon Farr and is unable to control his aggression, it's that AND the soup SUCKS

I love Seven of Nine and I'm mostly pretty happy with how she was treated in Picard (its honestly better than how she was treated for much of Voyager), but I don't like the way they made her captain. I honestly think Liam Shaw was one of the best parts of the season and was a great contrast to a lot of the previous captain characters we've seen, and the fact that they killed him off so Seven could become captain felt really obvious and boring- even the way they did it felt super cheap and cliche (like I called the "he calls her Seven while dying and making her captain" beat EXACTLY several episodes before it happened). I would have loved to have seen him live AND her get promoted to Captain of a ship. I feel like both things could have happened, and instead they wasted a super interesting new character for the sake of a really trite plot beat. Also thought renaming the Titan the Enterprise at the end was kind of lame. We don't need that. Let it be its own ship.

I find it adorable how in SNW it's apparent that spock gets invited to girls' night out frequently, and he just sits there with them at the bar with his glass of luke warm water listening to them tell stories he absolutely doesn't understand, but he seems to enjoy being there nonetheless.

And it is also like a cute little continuety thing with TOS that tells us why he's so comfortable and friendly with Uhura, playing the lyre as she sings and allowing her to flirt with him in a friendly way.

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine - 7x04 Take Me Out to the Holo-Suite

Nearly all the Northern lore facts were wrong

Torrhen didn't bend the knee at the Wall, he bent the knee at the Neck. Jaehaerys didn't fly to the Wall, only Alysanne did. Jaehaerys was in KL for the first six months Alysanne was in the North. Rickon Stark didn't welcome Alysanne, Alaric Stark did. Rickon was Cregan's father, not Alaric.

Alaric Stark didn't go with Alysanne to the Wall, she went by herself. Alaric sent word ahead to the Night's Watch that she was on her way. Alysanne attempted to fly Silverwing beyond the wall twice, Silverwing turned her right around and went back.

Ryan, honey, are you sure you read the book?

The reason why the ‘choose your side’ discourse bothers me so much is because we’ve seen it before. We see it everywhere. Every single debate online wants you to choose a side and then engage by getting angry and argue with those who oppose you.

Nowadays, having people fight over something is the best way for corporations to garner attention. HBO/MAX/whatever they call themselves know this and chose this promotion tactic to make people talk about HotD by fighting over who’s the rightful heir. Can we ensure that the story will still be interesting if we’re continuously pushed to cheer for one side and despise the other? Will this cheap marketing ploy reflect on the storytelling?

You know why I love Fire and Blood? Because everyone’s problematic and toxic in their own way. That’s what makes the story interesting. ‘Choosing a side’ implies that there is a morally superior option and I hate that; it takes a compelling story and dumbs it down.

Just a reminder that the only reason Alicent Hightower survived the Dance of the Dragons is because her spiteful and ungrateful behind was touched by Rhaenyra’s mercy.

Alicent was supposed to be executed along with her snake of a father after the Blacks took King’s Landing.

Rhaenyra decided to spare Alicent because she knew how much Viserys loved his second wife. She honored her father by sparing this woman who bullied her since she was 8 years old and plotted to steal her throne.

That’s the definition of mercy.

And through Rhaenyra’s mercy, Alicent got an even better punishment than death: live long enough to watch everything she worked for blow up in her face while her entire line ended.
