somniloquence

Hey, spoil away if you have info!! I am not only not averse to spoilers, I actively seek them. I'm one of those people who just has trouble watching certain things, and if I don't have an idea of what might happen, I sometimes can't deal. I asked SDWolfpup about a couple things because I was like, I can't keep watching this if I don't know what happens.

I had gotten the impression from things people said that J and B go their separate ways but still think about each other, so I guess I figured it was a lost cause (also, he has that thing with his sis!). He was a really hard sell for me. I just loathed him pretty much up until he said that you can't help who you love. It was finally something that made me kind of go, oh, OK, I see what people might see in him now. I'm still kind of...not sure, especially since I don't know what happens with him in the future, but I love that he sees something in her that allows him to stop acting like an ass long enough to let her see something in him. So all that made me ship them hard. ;-)

I can see the handwave of the "woman" comment. It's too bad the writers couldn't hew more to the books (based on some posts I saw on Tumblr, with her actual words) and bowed to the casual sexism that permeates HBO shows nowadays (hey, remember Rome and Deadwood, where guys got nekkid too, and it wasn't always women being abused and stripped and walking around with their bits on display for the mens, because we all know only mens watch TV? Ah, good times).

But I'm nervous about her story, I guess. Especially since the stories aren't finished! I am afraid of what will happen to her (and to Arya, and Dany, who are the characters I like most).
