> [@Dewey\_Finn](#): > > Joffrey’s death was nicely public. Not as painful as he deserved, given how much pain he inflicted. But still. I would’ve preferred it happened after he was stripped for the bedding; that’d be a nice call-back to when he tried to have Sansa stripped naked & beaten in the throne room. > [@grude](#): > > In Dany’s defense she does have truth, justice and righteousness wholly on her side compared to the slave empires she is toppling(assuming slavery in Meeren is as bad the place she got her unsullied army from). The bald guy she had the dragon torch told her only a percentage of unsullied survive childhood, thats aside from the baby killing and wanton torture and death… Yes, Queen Daenerys went around emancipating slaves en masse, but she also didn’t give any though as to what would happen to them afterward. Many of them, like the pedagogue who begged her to be allowed to sell himself back to his former master, ended up a lot worse of as freedman then they were as slaves. ---

> [@franz](#): > > - Samsa continues to be a dumb idiot. A woman that gives all the signs of being untrustable says her to enter a dark place with raging dogs and guess what? Yes, keep pushing your lucky like that, Samsa… Excellent username-misspelling combo. 🙂 ---

> [@Elendil\_s\_Heir](#): > > Just saw this 2000 Irish short film (just 11 minutes long), _The Second Death_, with three future GOT stars in it. Enjoy: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9-T10032vs](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9-T10032vs) I’m awful at understanding dialogs. Could you sum up what is said, so that I can make sense of the story? Also, I didn’t recognize any GoT actor. Maybe one of the snookers player was Renly? ---

The plot of _The Second Death_: The man who was walking on the road at the beginning of the film is troubled to hear that a woman who had been mysteriously abducted ten years ago, on the day of her First Communion, has just committed suicide. He drinks heavily and eventually goes home. He dies of a heart attack, having seen a vision of the little girl whom he, presumably, kidnapped and traumatized - raped? - years before. The actors: The main character is played by the future Ser Davos Seaworth, Stannis’s Hand; the bartender is Catelyn Stark; one of the guys shooting pool is Littlefinger.
