As you can probably guess, last week’s episode of Game of Thrones—and its increasing dominance over the pop culture landscape—has filled the ol’ postman’s stolen mailbag to the brim. There are a few spoilers for last week’s episode, but more importantly, an answer to a question we should have been asking ourselves since the first episode: Should we want Daenerys and Jon Snow to fuck? Aunt, Man. Aaron W.: So I’ve been struggling with this question a lot: Is it ok to . So the aunt/nephew dynamic is an absolute deal breaker to modern audiences, but maybe wouldn’t be the worst thing in Westeros? Lots of reasons it would be good, but one BIG reason it is unacceptable. Thoughts? Shipping is. I’ve seen worse than aunt and nephew.

Science fiction (often shortened to SF or sci-fi) is a genre of speculative fiction, typically dealing with imaginative concepts such as futuristic science and.

And the show is definitely presenting them as future romantic partners/fuckbuddies, which makes it as legitimate as these things get. Their familial relationship may freak you out, but that’s sort of the point. GRRM wants to show a medieval, feudal- type era with all the awfulness most fantasies skip over. The relentless sexism, the rape and torture, the horror that regular people could and did experience constantly as the result of what the nobility chose to do—you can absolutely complain about how omnipresent it is in his stories and/or how it’s portrayed, but it’s not inaccurate to the source material of that reality. And one part of that reality is medieval (and certainly ancient) nobility’s tendency toward incest, especially between uncles and nieces—to the point where its got its own name, avunculate marriage. As you said, the books/show have already shown that Targaryens have been more than willing to marry within the family in order to keep their bloodline pure, so there’s a precedent for Jon and Dany starting a relationship.

And since we’re talking about an aunt and nephew here (since Jon is the son of Dany’s deceased brother Rhaegar) and not uncle/niece, a Jon/Dany hook- up would. I am far more skeptical that Jon would be cool with sleeping with his aunt, given the rest of Westeros isn’t nearly as cool with incest (hence Cersei and Jaime’s hiding of their sexual relationship—well, until Cersei took the throne and decided that yes, in fact, as queen she gets to have sex with anyone she wants, and everyone else has to deal with it. Or be tortured and killed). But Jon’s problem is easily solved by keeping his parentage from him until after Ice and Fire have fucked each other. In fact, I suspect Bran is keeping/will keep the truth of Jon’s parentage from everyone until after Daenerys gets pregnant for that very reason. The Three- Eyed Raven knows this has to happen, so mum’s the word for now Or GRRM—or the show, for that matter, since we know it’s diverging from GRRM’s plan in major ways—could just throw a curveball and have Dany marry Gendry, the closest thing King Robert had to a legitimate heir, combining the Targaryen and Baratheon lines to create a progeny whose claim to the throne is unassailable throughout Westeros.

Actually, that’s a pretty good idea! He’s way at the bottom . No way Bronn can hold his breath long enough to get down there, cut all the straps to all the pieces of the armor, pull them off, and then also pull him to safety before they both drown. I’m not going to say it’s unrealistic, since Jaime was pushed into the water to avoid a dragon, but the point of Game of Thrones is that it has fantasy elements but it’s still realistic in the basic laws of physics. So isn’t Jaime getting rescued impossible? You bring up a good point about fantasy, in that the best fantasy has a set of rules, even if the audience doesn’t know them, and doesn’t break them.

Someone suddenly having a “hoist person out of lake” spell to save Jaime would be dumb. Tyrion running down the hell and begging Dany to have Drogon fish the dude who was about to kill her out of the lake is more realistic for Go. T, but implausible in terms of Dany’s character and the time it would take for Tyrion to get down to Dany and ask for her to save his brother. So that leaves Bronn. Here’s one thing we all need to make our peace with first, right now: Game of Thrones the TV show has begun playing fast and loose with strict reality in favor of presenting the most exciting story possible. This is how armies and fleets are moving gargantuan distances in- between and sometimes even during episodes.

It’s why Tyrion can pick out Jaime from half a mile away amid a battlefield full of smoke and destruction. It’s why Cersei and her allies can suddenly kick ass or all of Highgarden’s gold can get into King’s Landing with a mutter and a handwave. There are only nine episodes left, total, as of the time this mailbag hits the nerdernet. The show doesn’t have any time to waste. Yes, part of the reason the books are so good is because they were sprawling and complicated in the way life is, and yes, the show is 1. I also, as I mentioned in my recap this week, think it doesn’t make any narrative sense for Bronn to push Jaime out of the way of a giant cone of dragon breath into a lake, only to have him immediately drown—if Weiss and Benioff are going to kill the character, having Jaime get turned into cinders by Drogon is a much, much cooler death. So I think the show will forgo realism (I mean, how was that lake at the side of that road a full 3.

Bronn will cut Jaime out of his armor and drag him to the surface (because Jaime is the one who’s going to give him a castle, after all), and the Lannister will probably live to fight another day. And I also think he’ll be the one to perform those (book spoilers) valonqar duties, and obviously, he can’t do that if he’s dead. Last time I looked, I didn’t see any friendly priests of R’hllor nearby. Where to even begin? Ser Barristan would have been the most solid member of Daenerys’ Queensguard due to military and combat experience, but his relationship to Rhaegar is most interesting. When Dany tells Jon that everyone loves doing what they’re best at, Jon disagrees. Ser Barristan once told Dany a similar story about her brother Rhaegar preferring singing in the street to killing.

I also imagine Ser Barristan recognizing the late prince’s resemblance in Jon’s face, posture, or personality. Although Jon is very much Ned Stark in code and hair color, there would be a few opportunities for the show to make that connection. Are there any dead characters that would’ve enhanced the current story we have without breaking the series?

Barristan had to die because he had too many answers. He knew Rhaegar well, and he likely knew what Rhaegar was doing when he kidnapped Lyanna, or at the very least he knew whether Lyanna was kidnapped or went with him willingly.

Even though we know the result of their union was Jon Snow, the reason why Rhaegar kidnapped her, thus starting a chain of events that killed most of his family and ended their dynasty, is such an integral mystery that it’s going to need to be saved until the very end of the series. Barristan may well have had those answers. The show could get away with not acknowledging this for a bit, while he hadn’t been in Daenerys’ service for long and wasn’t completely trusted.

When Dany realized that Barristan knew her family pretty intimately, and was beginning to ask questions about them—well, that’s when he had to go. Barristan literally died in the same episode he began to tell stories Rhaegar (“Sons of the Harpy,” episode five). So yes, Barristan would added a great deal to the proceedings, but would have added too much, too soon.

My pick would be either Oberyn or Doran Martell, if only so one of them could make the Dorne storyline worth a damn. It would be cool so see Dorne have a major role to play in the great war other than serving as Cersei fodder. If a good Dorne storyline is off the table, I have to go Stannis, actually. Seeing him somehow bend the knee to Jon Snow and becoming part of the fight against the White Walkers would be really satisfying on a lot of levels, I think.

But those are just mine—add and explain yours in the comments.

Review: New Menu at Sci- Fi Dine- In Theater Restaurant in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. You are likely well aware that BIG CHANGES are underway at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. After all, the addition of two whole new lands — Star Wars and Toy Story — is no small undertaking. And the construction has already resulted in the closure of several eateries (including my beloved Writer’s Stop and Starring Rolls) around the park. But a few classic spots have remained, thankfully, untouched for now. And when it comes to Sci- Fi Dine- In Theater Restaurant, this spot’s dedicated fans — and there are many — sure hope that “for now” extends to “for always.”And I can’t argue with that.

There’s something so fun (and completely immersive) about sitting in a booth shaped like a vintage car, watching a reel of old movie clips on the big screen under a faux night sky. But while Sci- Fi wins loads of points for ambiance, some diners find the food to be a little hit or miss. So on this visit, we checked out a mix of some ol’ standbys along with items from the recently revamped menu. So, let’s drive in, shall we? Atmosphere. Sci- Fi Dine- In is essentially a massive room (make that, soundstage) with high, dark ceilings made to resemble the starry nighttime sky, and row upon row upon row of vintage- style convertibles. That’s the drive- in part of the Dine In, and it’s just about one of the most fun dining settings in Disney World.

Sci- Fi Dine- In. You basically sit in the front seat or the back seat, and you have a fairly shallow counter in front of you.

That’s your table. Not exactly conversation friendly, but that’s A- OK, because there’s other entertainment to take in.

THIS is the Sci- Fi part of things. The big screen in front features clip reels from old sci- fi and horror flicks, where zombies, aliens, and The Blob star in some some seriously fun old clips. And don’t fret over the horror bits — they’re far more kitschy than scary. And occasionally Uncle Walt shows up to lighten the mood even more! Sci- Fi Screen. If you’re not in the mood to eat in a totally sweet ride, there are a few tables (and picnic tables) available as well. These retro- style tables offer a little more elbow room to those who might prefer some.

And this is also much easier for high chairs and wheelchairs. But those aren’t the only concessions they’re serving up at Sci- Fi Dine- In. Specialty sips are part of the game, so we perused the Drink Menu first. Sci- Fi Drink Menu. There’s a decent variety here, including several Craft Beers.

If you’re a glow cube collector, order the Magical Star Cocktail or the Orbiting Oreos (which are especially fun here in the nighttime- no- matter- what- time setting). Additional Specialty Beverages are presented on a smaller menu, which you’ll definitely want to check out. Sci- Fi Specialty Beverages. Now, I honestly feel like it’s not a visit to Sci- Fi without a milkshake. Maybe it’s just something in the 1. I can never resist.

This time, the Oreo Milkshake was calling my name. Oreo Milkshake. A bit heavy to start a meal?

Totally worth it? You can’t go wrong with Chocolate or Vanilla, either, but Oreo in particular is especially indulgent and delicious, with lots of little Oreo bits mixed in throughout.

It’s called Orbiting Oreos on the menu.)Of course, we had to spend some time reviewing the recently revamped menu. The latest incarnation has plenty of tempting options, which you’ll be able to read a little better by clicking the image below to enlarge. I love visiting this restaurant, but I kind of hate snapping pics in the uber dark room. It ain’t easy, folks.)Sci- Fi Menu. Here’s a look at the Kids’ Menu as well. Smurfs The Lost Village (2017) Watch Online. On it you’ll find typical kid- friendly dishes like Popcorn Chicken and a Cheeseburger, but the Mickey Check Meals (aka Disney’s healthier options for kids) included Grilled Salmon, which is a nice addition. Sci- Fi Kids’ Menu.

And like all table service locations in the Parks, if you’ve got allergies or food sensitivities, there’s a menu for that (and you can always request to speak to a chef for a one- on- one consultation). Sci- Fi Allergy Menu. I promise that I’ll be getting to the new items soon, but there is one appetizer I have to get every time: Crispy Onion Rings. They come stacked in this groovy arrangement, with Sweet Chili and Horseradish dipping sauces. Cool flavors that are definitely a step above ketchup (though you can get that, too). Crispy Onion Rings. To see the mechanism behind this tower of onion rings, we pulled them off and took a closer look.

We think it fits in with the retro theme, like a little metal rocket! Shazam!! Sci- Fi Onion Stack Contraption. Well, we also pulled them off to eat them all. The name doesn’t lie — the breading on the onion rings here is always crisped to a perfect golden brown offering a delicious, savory crunch against the soft, buttery onions. They never disappoint. Besides our Crispy Onion Rings, we ordered the Sci- Fi Appetizer Sampler. It comes with three crowd- pleasing appetizers: Boneless Buffalo Wings, Spinach- Artichoke Dip, and Fried Dill Pickles.

Sci- Fi Appetizer Sampler. Ranch and Blue Cheese dipping sauces and a basket of Tortilla Chips complete the dish. The Boneless Buffalo Wings are pretty straightforward; tasty without being revolutionary. I will say, there were quite a few of them, so plenty to go around.

Boneless Buffalo Wings. Similarly, the Spinach- Artichoke Dip was fine — but not mind- blowing. Still, if you like this dish at any of the chain restaurants in the real world, you’ll enjoy this one.

Spinach- Artichoke Dip. The Fried Dill Pickles, on the other hand, are the most unique item in the Sampler and the most enjoyable, too — not only because they’re more atypical.

There’s lots of dill packed into the layer of thick batter, so the flavor really explodes. Fried Dill Pickles. And the juicy pickles are a decent size. We liked the texture contrast between the crunchy coating and the softer inside.

Fried Dill Pickles. Remember, these can be ordered as an appetizer on their own. Ditto for the wings and the dip, but I recommend going for the pickles. The entree list is fairly large by Disney standards, and features lots of familiar eats, like Reuben and Caprese Sandwiches and an All- American Burger. Vegetarians will want to know that a Falafel Burger is up for grabs, too.

We decided to dig into the Sci- Fi Drive- In BBQ Burger. It’s served with thick- cut fries.

Sci- Fi Drive- In BBQ Burger with Fries and Milkshake. But it wasn’t even the appeal of “BBQ” in the name that got our attention; it was the description. Sci- Fi Drive In BBQ Burger.

Because the toppings under that pretty brioche bun include crispy Fried Jalapenos. We were all over that! The other toppers are Cheddar Cheese, BBQ Sauce, and Fried Onions.

So, a pretty common combo otherwise. But the Fried Jalapenos are a clever addition. Sci- Fi Drive- In BBQ Burger Toppings. I won’t say they added a ton of heat, but I loved the doubling up of crunchy bits, and did get some of that signature jalapeno flavor.

Of course, the other toppings — like lots of crispy bacon — fought for some attention, too. But check out this cross- section, with the Sci- Fi signature blend of beef which makes up the burger. This is NOT, thankfully, your typical well- done- to- the- point- of- dry Disney burger. And here’s WHY: The current chef at Sci- Fi recently came over from D- Luxe Burger in Disney Springs! So the Sci- Fi burger uses the same proprietary blend of beef that’s used at D- Luxe.

And they KNOW not to cook burgers to within an inch of their lives. So YAY for burger rejuvenation here! Sci- Fi Drive- In BBQ Burger. It was moist, tender, juicy, and tasty.

OH, and keep your eye on the signature burgers here. They switch out the specialty, seasonal burger regularly, and the Chef said they might be bringing back that one with the Boursin cheese that everyone loved!

Aside from a decent Four- Cheese Sauce and the Blackened Chicken itself, this dish also has Red Bell Peppers, Asparagus, and Fried Okra.
