“If your boss wouldn’t be holding your balls with a forceps knife, would you really be his loyal follower” ?
That’s the question that will come up today, Monday at every water-cooler break. At the office. With GoT fans.
After watching Episode 5 of the last series of GoT, many Starbucks coffee cups holders came unhappy with their lady. The reason: The Mother of Dragons burned down the city state (or kingdom, what ever), even after they rang the bells (ringing the bells was supposed to signal surrender). A lot of destruction and carnage ensued since Danaerys continued to burn the city down.
I am not here to give anyone a blowjob. Or a dopamine hit.
I am here to give you the 10,000 feet perspective.
Danaerys is tough, and it appears the numbskulls (who make up 99% of the population) don’t really like that. It shows in their disapproval.
“She killed Varys as much as I did.” -Danaerys speaking of her execution of her advisor, Varys.
We need to see that Kingdom, King’s Landing, was led by fear (by Cersei). They weren’t used to anything else. When destruction came…how can rebirth come if not after the destruction of the old ? What rule were they expecting if not the rule of fear, the rule of the land ?
In other news, I have been repeatedly asked to post something like “Cool things of the Week/Month”. People have asked for a column like that. I am considering doing it. Meanwhile, we can start of this week with the Lumipod. The Lumipod came to me via The Manual.
“
“Built within a circular steel structure with a diameter of almost 18 feet and a ceiling height of over seven feet, the LumiPod is a spacious, but compact bedroom suite perfect for dispersed hotels, estate follies, or modern backyard guests accommodations, but really, the uses are as varied as your imaginings.
The best part of the LumiPod isn’t its sleek shape or its carefully considered interior, it’s the massive, curved sliding wall that can be retracted so the main part of the LumiPod blends seamlessly with nature, making it truly an indoor-outdoor living space.” -The Manual

How cool is that ?
Tyrion to Jamie:
“You were the only one who didn’t treat me like a monster.”
Hit me up,
Mother of Dragons.
No Dothraki ever said
Luke,
Do I know you ?
Weakness begets weakness.
The inhabitants of King’s Landing learned or so.
Well, how will GoT end ?
Care to share your predictions, Max.

Thanks,

By now some people will know how the show has ended, the faith of the various characters, etc. I don’t. Yet.
Instead of giving you offshoot answers: It will end however it has begun.
Like it or not.
At least that’s how it ends in real life. How it has begun.
Now concerning this penultimate episode No. 5, there are more lessons I have not pointed in my post. Examples:
1. How your heroine becomes a tyrant. Replace hero/heroine with what you will.
2. How Sandor (The Hound) could not take down Sir Gregor, who was his older brother, except by jumping over to their deaths.
I’ll be reviewing Ep. 6 as soon as I can.
