Imagine how it was for the researchers:

- Hey, where are you going?
- To work. I have a blood detection questionnaire to finish. And a human-animal blood perception test to run.
- So that's why you're carrying that bag with blood vials.
- Yeah.
- What do you do again?
- Philosophy.

Yeah, she's funny.

Related to one of the ideas for Aftermath Reborn, I found this on Wikipedia:

"In the thesis, the American frontier established liberty by releasing Americans from European mind-sets and ending eroding old, dysfunctional customs. The frontier had no need for standing armies, established churches, aristocrats or nobles, nor for landed gentry who controlled most of the land and charged heavy rents. Frontier land was free for the taking."

Interesting to think about, isn't it? I wonder what will happen when we start colonizing the moon.

You mean we'll say crazy, false stuff?

Like how colonizing the Moon freed us from the tyranny of the Dairyman's Association because we could just take a pickaxe to the ground and pull up a clump of sharp cheddar?

So you are telling me the moon is actually made of cheese?

Where do you think the British get their Cheddar? That's right, we have massive mining operations on the dark-side.

Well, that sounds quite reasonable...

I for one welcome our robot overlords.

Particularly if our robot overlords are undead star-god overlords. Because that means we get to become undead robots with plasma weapons.

All hail the c'tan star gods.

Or khorne. Blood for the blood god and all that.

That's it, this means WAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!

Meanwhile inside an elegant tower in space, a lithe figure takes a sip of alien wine and mutters:

"Just as planned."

Watch until the end.

The lyrics are actually the recipe.

Here I thought you got it from Cheddar.

My life is a lie.

Mystery solved, and quite masterfully, I'd say: showed the wolf-headed man in the dark, barely recognizable - just enough to please the hardcore fans, and not so gruesome as to offend the casual viewers.

Subject: Re: General OOC 10.06.13 8:00

I'm sure there will be complaints anyway! From the people that decided to quit watching after the previous episode, no doubt. scratch

I suppose it was a decent way to wrap up the season. It included a scene I'd been waiting for...

Spoiler:

Tyrion should have thought of that!

no one will quit watching! Dany is amassing an army and all the male viewers love her.

just sayin'

It's amazing how subversive that story is. An eunuch, who despite not having the standard token of masculinity is one of the most dangerous men in Westeros. A dwarf - not a shining knight - who goes on adventures all over both continents. And, of course, powerful women and cold-blooded children.

By the way, I'd like a daughter like Arya.
