[Spoilers Main] I'm confused a bit about how Hoster Tully handled the Lysa Tully situation. If Lysa was already known to have been in a "soiled" state, why didn't he just allow her to birth her bastard child instead of aborting the babe?

Hot take, but does anyone else feel like the hate towards Benson Boone feels forced and contrived? I understand not liking the guy's music - you're entitled to like and dislike whatever you want - but I feel like the guy's getting way too much disproportionate hate online. His music is fine.

What are your opinions on The Doors? I personally adore them. I think honestly that regardless of your opinion of them - and they seem to be a pretty polarising band - most people can agree have one of the most unique and interesting sounds of any band. Very few bands sound like them.

In this early 80s interview with a KKK member, both the interviewer and the bigot's own words made him look like a clown. He wasn’t silenced - he was dismantled. This is why you let bigoted idiots speak publicly: to expose and destroy them. Censorship only fuels their mystique and false legitimacy.

It's a shame Jason didn't get the chance to sing more. He has a lovely voice. Very earthy and folky.

Sleep Token had an album bomb on the Hot 100 with their album Even in Arcadia, they're the first rock - let alone hard rock/metal- oriented band - to do so. The album debuted at No. 1 and had the largest streaming week for a hard rock/metal album. Do you think there is any significance to this?

We obviously shouldn’t focus on looks over music, but some artists just exude star power with just their look. Who are the coolest, best-looking musicians - past or present - who look like superstars? And who wasn’t conventionally attractive, but still had a striking, unforgettable presence?

Apparently Ryan Condal originally pitched HBO an adaptation of Dunk and Egg before a pitch about the Dance of the Dragons was approved. How do you think that would've turned out if he was the showrunner? Actually, also, how do you think he would've done a Robert's Rebellion show.

You shouldn't be mad at Studio A-Cat for the animation. Why? Because expecting good animation from them is like expecting Uwe Boll to make a good movie even from great material, or dropping a baby in a lion's den and expecting the lions to not eat the baby. Their track-record speaks for themselves.

I'm honestly surprised bands like The Smashing Pumpkins (and even Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, Red Hot Chilli Peppers and Soundgarden) were accepted by the alt-crowd because their sound has much more in common with hard rock/heavy metal/progressive rock than anything to do with alternative/indie

Just watched the premiere and it...honestly wasn't horrible? Maybe it was due to my low expectations - and I won't deny that the animation quality wasn't ideal - but it's nowhere near as bad as I was expecting. It's just...average. Disappointing but given the expectations not terrible.
