Vichan posted:I hated how inconsistent Varys became. "Robert's main problem was that he didn't want to rule" vs "Have you ever considered the best candidate is the one who does not want to rule?" only a season later. Not quite the same thing. Varys meant that a competent leader drafted into being king would work out as that leader wouldn't have ambition to cloud his judgement. This is different than Robert who didn't have the desire to be king or enough of a sense of responsibility to see to his duties anyway.

LoL that she slaughtered Kal Drogos horse on him as a "gently caress you."

I mean, Ridley Scott has a new movie opening up on the 15th about a duel being fought over a man being accused of raping his best friend's wife the movie looks to be better than all of GoT. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgUp8IPS7YA
