Just as an interesting aside ...

Oysters, Clams and Cockles podcast has a Patreon page...

10 bucks a month gets you 2 podcasts a week (1 members only, one free for everyone)

Their Patreon page has 2341 subscribers.....
First, I hope you and Ringo are doing OK.
When will Oysters, Clams and Cockles have a show on Episode 5.

Really long twitter thread about why this season feels different.

https://twitter.com/DSilvermint/status/1125856091261136896

Anthony Burgess used to talk about writers falling into two categories, A and B. A writers are interested in plot as a priority (Agatha Christie, for example) while B writers are interested in character (say, Tolstoy). Martin wants to be a B writer but he's not quite good enough and he's working in the A genre that has certain expectations about how things will turn out. The first book was good but then the series ran out of control and ended up frustrating a lot of people because they wanted to live in the A genre. That's why the TV show is such a mess, you have two irreconcilable points of view going on at the same time.

Which is a good point apart from the fact that the last two seasons have gone beyond the books, and GRRM stopped writing for the show then as well.

This series better not end with one of those "it was all a dream" things.

Perhaps this wouldn't have happened if Cersei had gotten elephants...
Time spent with cats is never wasted.

Perhaps a huge Pu pu platter of elephant appetizers?

Good one!
Thanks @Spookcat 
I wonder how George R. R. Martin would describe his thoughts on Season 8 with one word.  ::)

You think Arya will run back to Gendry?

What are you guys doing for the final ep?

I’ve got my sister coming over for a final simulcast viewing and pre party. Marital Unit is away for anti kidnap training (yes, really) next week so I need to be able to squeeze/cry etc with someone!
Give pees a chance.
