    It's fucking bullshit that Jack dies. There is plenty of room on that door. I am going to bed.

    Two things in this current climate shock me: revisionist understandings of slavery and people not vaccinating their kids such that cured diseases are making a comeback.

    I was recently at an event where someone said, basically, we have capitalism to thank for the end of slavery. My eyes almost fell out of my head. They were dead serious. I had no idea how to respond other than to say NOPE.

    Ahh yes. If there is any circumstance we need to consider with more nuance it’s slavery, where black people were brought here forcibly, tortured, raped, dehumanized and forced to work under brutal conditions without compensation, the repercussions of which, continue. Good take.

    Slave owners did many bad things, but each owner didn't do every single one.

    Guess what? In a show involving dragons and imaginary lands I don’t need a realistic understanding of the chaos of battle. This isn’t the History Channel. It’s made up.

    That’s the point. They can’t see so they’re showing the chaos and ambiguity of battle

    I know this is supposed to be a great episode but it’s an incoherent and invisible mess.

    In all seriousness what is the point of this elaborate battle when we can’t see anything? How are we supposed to connect?

    Let’s be real. They clearly took my note for 2 blessed minutes. Then they spited me again with this darkness.
