Darth Zannah, I would hope. Or just Darth as first name, that'd be swell.

Or, if being appropriate- Lord Zannah.

Not as a baby name, as a GoT character, so it's the cardinal sin, yeah. 

My dad asked the ultimate question in the middle of season 5. So how does the story end? When I had no answer to give he kinda gave up on the show. And I can't even blame him. 

Update: the vet said he's fine, his gums and lips are inflamed because he probably bit on something. He put some antibiotic infused gel on his mouth. I really hope he's fine. I'm so paranoid. 

Oh dear. Fortunately I talked about GOT so much that my parents were well aware no ending had been written before they even finished season 1.

Good to hear that he's fine, if the vet said so I doubt there's anything to worry about.

Actually, I kinda did the use of the traditional titles for both men and women, like "Sir" in BSG (2004.)

It just never made any sense to me though. It sounds dumb, women should be given their own titles instead of using the men's.

It's a matter of perspective. Words have no meaning other than that which we give to then. It's only a male-only title if we choose that it is.

Of course. And given that sir has been a male-only title for probably centuries, it makes more sense to me that for women, we give that meaning to a different word. Either or that or we should all collectively decide that sir is gender-neutral,but I don't think that's happened yet either.

Well, actually, this has all happened before. And it will happen again.

That's very fortunate. My dad didn't like season 1 very much when we first tried to make him watch it, because he thought the production was cheap (costumes, set, etc). For the second time he happened to tune in during episode 7 which was full enough of warfare, strategy and politics that he wanted us to put on the next episode. we didn't tell him much in advance so he would keep watching. 

He seems fine, and he eats and drinks alright and his change of behavior has actually been going on for way longer than a week, months actually, and the vet kinda laughed at me and said it was old age not illness. 

I had the craziest dreams last night. Some of them were fun, some just very weird. I killed a crocodile with a laser weapon, was involved in some sort of Trimuggle Tournament at my old high school (Buckwheat was there too, btw, she was one of the foreign contestants, and she made some special tricolor braid from yarn which was the second task, but she lost it on a stony seashore - sorry Buckwheat), one of the judges was a friend of mine but he looked different and had a different name, he also had to drop out during the tournament because he got sick, but his mum couldn't pick him up because she was at a fund raising event with her foundation. I also had a huge dispute with my old classmates and spilled Fanta on somebody's head (on purpose - what a bitch a I was). I helped some kids and their mom to clean a dirty pool (for good karma maybe?). And after killing the vicious crocodile, I ate pizza on the stairs in the palace (where the crocodile was) and made out with the instructor (who told me how to kill the crocodile). What a weird dream.

Good idea, Sith slaughter and torture everyone equally, regardless of race or gender.

What an odd complaint to have. I mean, the unnecessary sex or the occassional awful dialogue, sure, but the production value has been great pretty much from the beginning, hasn't it?

Awesome dream I'll be waiting for the novelization.

As someone who generally refuses to watch broadcast TV because of the awful production values (that includes everything made by the BBC,) GoT has /almost/ movie quality production values.

he did complain about unnecessary sex scenes too, and about dark scenes which he thought were depressing, about the lack of pretty actresses, about less and less politics, but this was only later on, after he got somewhat into the story. As for the production, I can see how season one looked a little on-budget compared to a Hollywood blockbuster, and it's not like dad watches any television other than news broadcast and sports channels. 

the crocodile bit was exciting, indeed

Untrue, we leave most people to go about their business, it's only Rebels and Jedi we enjoy destroying.

The lack of pretty actresses? I don't get why someone would judge a TV show based on the looks of the actors to begin with, but even I consider GOT's female cast to be very good-looking. Between Daenerys, Sansa, Ygritte, Margaery and the myriad of prostitutes I don't think he has anything to complain about

So the workshop was fun. We even had a discussion about GoT with a girl who has only seen 2 episodes up to now and needed clarification on some things.

And tomorrow I am moving.

You don't pull skinny jeans on, you jump into them

You can take my skinny jeans from my cold dead hands. Straights, flares, or, god forbid, mom jeans make my thighs seem so much thicker than they already are. I'd recommend trying some with a high stretch percentage (H&M has relatively cheap but decent skinnies, especially the shaping ones). They have to fit real snugly, like a second skin, so having to jump into them does not make them too small.

H&M is actually the brand whose jeans I cannot put on. At least I could not when I tried, I have not tried in the last few years.

I mean this (or something along the lines) is what I would have expected you to say in connection with skinny jeans: 

As in, if society is evul for expecting us to wear heels from time to time, surely skinny jeans are equally evul too and it's not your thighs that are funny. 

Yes, this is exactly what I wanted to say.

We had one bedroom for a little while too, it was horrible. I mean sister was cute, but we were sooooo faaaaaar away from each other, I was 12-3, she was 4-5, at 13 you really really really don't want to share a room with a baby basically. It was horrible for both of us. 

I can imagine ... was it just you and sister or the parents in the same bedroom too?

Oh dear god, I haven't heard of such. Even here where the dorm circumstances are stuck on a 1950 level, there are separate floors for girls and boys at dorms, with separate bathrooms. And yeah, a lot depends on that. I would throw out anybody who leaves the hair that fell out of their razor on the sink. Especially if that hair visibly comes from... Not their legs. (Yes I have seen this done, no I don't want to remember *cringes*)

Separate floors do sound ... old-fashioned. I do not have a problem with the same floor having both genders, but separate bathrooms should be a must.

That must be a weird way to watch Star Wars.

@Buckwheat, wait, thinking back about your post... you didn't gather that Anakin Skywalker and Luke Skywalker were related?

Hmmm ... yes. I guess I did not catch his surname? I honestly cannot remember.

That is a weird and detailed dream. Should I feel flattered or concerned that I was there? Did I look like my avatar or like a real person?

Fair enough, but what I meant was that few people probably watched it like that.

I think Luke's last name is only mentioned once in A New Hope, but still...

Tarkin wasn't a Sith, also Maraery isn't around anymore, she had her own Alderaan moment.

Thanks.

Yes, but how many times is Anakin's last name mentioned in A Phantom Menace? By the time I saw A New Hope, I had already seen the whole pregnant Amidala plotline, so it was clear then.
