Only guy in #GameofThrones who fights in another's stead and never lost a fight. Also always knew when not to fight. Took on a dragon and survived. Jumped from sellsword to knight to Lord of Highgarden, Paramount of the Reach, and Master of Coin. A hero.

#StarTrekLowerDecks and #StrangeNewWorlds did cliffhangers, contrary to what John Logan, Jonathan Frakes and Brent Spiner discussed on droppingnames, but there are problems trying to do #StarTrek cliffhangers in the streaming era. For Strange New Worlds especially. 🖖

I reread the chapters of Fire and Blood dealing with House of the Dragon's story, which is maybe the most sustained gory and grisly writing by GRRM in the Game of Thrones saga. It's most unpleasant to read. House of the Dragon season 4 could be a tough watch even if it blunts the carnage.

Absolutely incredible. When I first read Dunk and Egg, I hoped it would become adapted one day, but A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is better than I could have imagined. 105 was among the best episodes of #GameofThrones ever made.
