Method of Madness:
Targaryen...did you mean "tire center"? :mrgreen:

Spell check is cool but grammar check really pisses me off. Yes, I get that I write things in the passive voice, you sometimes have to do that if you're writing an academic paper. Meanwhile if I'm writing anything that isn't a research paper, I don't need you pointing out every time I use a contraction. It gets especially annoying when I'm writing a script and it points out every time a sentence is too long, has a comma splice, or ends with a preposition. I'm TRYING to write the way people talk for fuck's sake. 

Anyway, I decided to try to put some ASOIAF names in Word:
The suggested correction for Targaryen was "margarine."
For Baratheon it was parathion
Greyjoy - Greyson.
Lannister - banister.

It accepted Stark Tully, Martell, and Tyrell without issue.

Cersei - Cerise
Joffrey - Jeffery
Tyrion - Tyron
Tommen - tom men
Oberyn - Obrien
Stannis - stannic, which means "of, relating to, or containing tin"
Daenerys - deaneries

In the category of "oddly fitting spell checks," Baelish was corrected to abolish and Varys was corrected to varies.

I was just thinking about how many damn titles/claims to titles Daenerys has amassed for herself at this point in the show.

"Daenerys Stormborn of House Targaryen, the First of Her Name. Queen of the Andals and the First Men, Lady of the Seven Kingdoms, Protector of the Realm, Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea, Queen of Meereen, Breaker of Chains and Mother of Dragons."

I'm reminded of Skyrim where you just become leader of everything except Skyrim itself, or how the Pope's full title is "His Holiness Francis I, Bishop of Rome, Vicar of Jesus Christ, Successor of the Prince of the Apostles, Supreme Pontiff of the Universal Church, Primate of Italy, Archbishop and Metropolitan of the Roman Province, Sovereign of the Vatican City State, Servant of the servants of God."

Thrillho:
I literally checked my watch during that shit.

'Okay, she has titles, JESUS.'

Also this week's episode was the best one in well over a season.

P.S. dear showrunners, stop trying to make Jaime into an antihero, he raped his sister and pushed a child out a window KTHXBAI
