Why is Jon still alive?
Beric was brought back to life multiple times. His purpose was saving Arya, after which he died one last time. Melisandre served her purpose and died.
Lord of Light brought Jon back to life. Presumably, his purpose was to gather the army that would defend them against White Walkers. Wasn't his purpose fulfilled as well?
Every other plot related to Lord of Light ended in this episode. Yet when it looked like Jon was about to die, he just walked away.
The defense strategy looked dumb as fuck. It's like the writers never played a single strategy game in their life.
Dothrakis were sacrificed pretty stupidly (although that scene was epic), catapults were placed *in front* of the trenches and fired only once(!), and the archers were just chilling inside the castle while everyone in front died.
It will take some advanced time teavelling miracle from Bran to justify all the characters surviving the impossible.
The episode kept me in suspense, the music was spectacular, the end was wholesome, but the writing...
Holy fuck. I was convinced that Ghost is dead, as well as Brianne, Sam, and one of the dragons. Then I saw them all alive in the preview of the next episode.
What were the other White Walkers doing the entire time? What the fuck was that scene between Sansa and Tyrion when it looked like they're gonna kill themselves and then they just... walked away?
There's a person out there that made an Amazon-exclusive book available on a torrent site...
...and then added a file to that same torrent that's basically an ad for Audible with a referral link.
@cybeardjm The worst things is I really couldn't tell that it had trackers until after I've purchased and downloaded the theme.
I'm not saying I wouldn't purchase this same theme if I knew (I find it gorgeous, and removing trackers is a minor hassle), but if I were looking for a new one, I'd like a privacy-respecting store that @switchingsocial is looking for.
I've purchased a new theme (for Ghost, not WordPress) a few days ago. Here's what I had to do:
1. Self-host fonts from Google Fonts.
2. Remove Disqus comments (commented out, but I still didn't want it).
3. Self-host font-awesome and some random JS libraries loaded from CDNs (I'd be okay with leaving it at one CDN, but it connected to 3-4 CDNs).
~15 requests are now handled by the same server, instead of requesting stuff from 3rd parties.
