The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

How is any of that better than him never even leaving Kings Landing?
he has to leave Kings Landing, or his realm, actually.  Otherwise, Cersei's spies (Qyburn's, really) would know he won't fulfill the contract and he's a dead man walking.

That does not mean the way it was done was so great...
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

If Microsoft Excel decided to stop working overnight, the world would practically end.

Remember when this show was genuinely good?

The North remembers.
Person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV.

Speaking of butchered storylines that would have been easier and better-solved just by going for the consistency angle...

If they didn't know how to close some character's arcs they should have killed more of them!

You can genuinely feel the writer's utter disinterest in that Bronn scene  :D

Hopefully we get a reboot if Martin ever finishes the books. Seasons 7-8 are really really poorly written.

If the books are finished, and they are well-received, and the off-shoot shows are decent, I think it's entirely possible we'll get a reboot in 20-30 years.

I think it is optimistic to think the show would reboot only a few months after the last book is published.
