That is definitely the show’s weakest point.

It’s also why Martin hasn’t written a book in 8 years and is 3 years past his promised deadline (one he promised his publishers in 2015).

It was weak, sure. But something had to give to get the pieces where they needed to be. I can forgive it.

And hey, at least it wasn’t a sultry scene with a strong female lead doing a Marilyn Monroe impression at an office party..

I get what you're saying and I agree with it for the most part, but a couple of the things the characters did were just stupid for the sake of plot and it didn't have to be scripted that way.

...maybe everyone lost and she knows the walkers are advancing on her.

Or she set her brother up to die.

Incipit is a beginning, ea incipit is 'it begins.'

Also, . . . sufficient . . . by itself, . . . is redundant. ;)

She's being chased by Ja'qen H'gar…...wearing an Arya (or some other Stark) face.

We started re-watching from season 1 last year, one episode a week on sunday nights. We're timing it so we hopefully can watch the season 8 episode right after watching season 7 episode 7.

But we have Dish. **** Dish. My internet is too slow to stream very well. This might be the time to switch to Directv.

I don't want any more good characters to die. I want to see the bad ones die. And I wouldn't mind terribly if they suffered.

Most likely to die:

Jon Snow, Daenerys, Jaime, Bran, Cersei, Euron, Beric, zombie Mountain, Grey Worm, the dragons.

Most likely to live:

Tyrion, Sansa, Arya, Sam Tarly, Davos.

Could go either way:

Brienne, Jorah, Varys, Bronn, the Hound, Theon.

Incipit is the third-person singular form of the verb, incipio,incipire, incpei, inceptum, and it means "he, she, it, begins." It it not necessary to add a pronoun unless the verb is gender-specific.

Ea is the feminine first person singular form of the pronoun is-ea-id (he-she-it/that). A literal translation of ea incipit is actually "she begins."

I took 2 years of Latin in high school, and 20 hours of Latin in college. How many Latin courses have you taken?
