Today, 03:31 PMErrorname replied to a thread Works where you were surprised to learn you were in the minority of viewers in Media DiscussionsI really don't? Now admittedly, I take a much harsher view on a lot of Daenerys's suitors than you do. She grows to love Drogo but that is far...260 replies | 12621 view(s)

2024-05-26, 02:23 AMErrorname replied to a thread Works where you were surprised to learn you were in the minority of viewers in Media DiscussionsI can't speak to how effective it was a shock, and Daenerys as an endgame villain did exist as a theory prior to the show, but I still don't think it...260 replies | 12621 view(s)

2024-05-26, 02:06 AMSpace Dragon that grants wishes is honestly pretty self-explanatory, it's just unusual for the genre. Usually stories about shooting aliens in...58 replies | 2452 view(s)

2024-05-25, 06:12 PMErrorname replied to a thread Works where you were surprised to learn you were in the minority of viewers in Media DiscussionsI think Daenerys ultimately boils down to her being deliberately constructed as a high fantasy character in a very low fantasy setting.

2024-05-25, 01:47 PMErrorname replied to a thread Works where you were surprised to learn you were in the minority of viewers in Media DiscussionsI don't think that's really a fair assessment of how Daenerys' chapters go either.

2024-05-24, 09:07 AMErrorname replied to a thread Works where you were surprised to learn you were in the minority of viewers in Media DiscussionsThe " Sue" is such a useless lens for looking at fiction that I generally hate to use it.
