I, like the rest of the civilized and uncivilized world with televisions and an HBO subscription, am watching the end of “Game of Thrones” with great interest – and, now that we’re a third through this final season, questions. Who will win the Iron Throne? Why in the world did they make Arya straight? (Or, at least, straight curious…) Who actually thinks Sir Brienne of Tarth is not a lesbian? Is it OK to root for Cersei just because of residual warm and fuzzy feelings from “Imagine Me & You.” To be perfectly honest, I’m rooting for any of the women to finish atop the Iron Throne. Daenerys, Sansa, Arya, Brienne, Yara, Missandei, Gilly, Lyanna total badass Mormont, Melisandre (I mean, why not, she can raise the dead which seems – you know – helpful) and, yes, even Cersei fucking Lannister. Why? Because it’s about time women earn the respect – look at me work in the word of the day like a pro – they deserve by coming out the sole victor in a major science-fiction/fantasy franchise. Plus, we all know Cersei has a soft spot for muppets. Happy weekend, all.

Never watched GOT , Dorothy but love the muppets and this message.Have a good weekend.
I was so mad that Daenerys dedicates her whole life to get the Iron Throne and then Jon Snow swoops in last minute and gets it instead just because he is a dude. Ugh. Typical patriarchy
At least Ser Brienne of Tarth broke the glass ceiling of knights...
Oh and Arya did not look satisfied after sleeping with Gendry, maybe she was realizing she is gay after all.
A lot of online comments defending the Arya scene were about her age ("but, she's 18! It's okay!" or "it's great. She's taking charge.") My response was that the scene was awkward because it felt like friends have sex and not two people physically attracted to one another. Just didn't buy it.
I hate the fantasy genre so Ive never seen this program nor do I intend to. Lets stick to reviews of realistic shows on TV please.
