GOT operates in a way that is fucking stupid, then,
because they present a causal loop that can't be resolved logically. If something can't be resolved logically, I don't want it in a TV show that asks to be taken seriously.

Goddamn, last week's episode of Orphan Black was fucking insane.
The way everything connected in an organic way. Whew. It's reclaimed its throne as the best sci-fi show on TV.

It's pretty straight forward
Hodor will always exist to perform an action to form the next Hodor in an infinite line of Hodors, like how the main character in time splitters is infinitely handing off keys to himself.
It's on my list. So I'll probably get around to watching it in 2018.

It's about tits and dragons, it really isn't meant to be taken seriously.
lazy surrendering of logic the show asks us to do. hodor held the door because he's hodor. he's hodor because he held the door. it makes no sense.
That's not lazy, it's
an infinite loop. The third Harry Potter book does the same thing.
The human mind can't rationalize this and just has to accept it because they said so. That pushes my ability to suspend disbelief too far.. Thus the complaining. Thus why magic and dragons is fine but this nonsense isn't.
Do you have problems with all forms of
time travel
I generally do not like time travel because of these impossible problems (the classic example being the grandfather paradox).. The only variety that doesn't seem to bother me is quantum time travel. Ie multiple realities and thus no conflict.
I very much dislike
multiple universe time travel generally. Terminator, back to the future etc annoy me so much. Having a closed loop makes logical sense to me and ties up nicely.

Why do I love the crazy ones. Maybe I just like danger.
"nicely"? I can't begin to comprehend how the loop got there, so there's nothing nice about it.
In any single reality time travel, if we take things to their logical conclusion, every time travel occurance that ever was -- er, is -- will all be occuring infinitely in every moment. Reality would just be an incomprehensible mess. It's an endless sea of unsolvable problems. It's impossible.

someone in my close family is in a very real physically abusive relationship so I'd be careful with that stuff

Time for bed, work tomorrow. Uuuuuuugh.
Reality is an incomprehensible mess. Where did time come from how did it start where did mass come from? it was always there.

Like, let's look at this logically. Even the thing you're fighting against - social movement in one way or the other - is not worth this much vitrol. Or even hate.
All I ask is that my entertainment adhere to rules that the human mind is capable of comprehending. We shouldn't have to tackle the great mysteries of existence to be able to suspend our disbelief for a show about boobs and magic
Infinite possibilities is certainly not one of those 
but I agree avoid time travel in pretty much all situations

Good morning. I am furious right now
Store manager (who is leaving in 9 days) called me at 7 am just to tell me that two more people are leaving, that means 4 out of 12. I just said that I will probably follow, because I have enough of this shit.
Today fireworks will fly at work.

I don't watch the show either. I just couldn't sit by and let jobbs decide what my brain is and isn't capable of

Guess who directed this episode?

I think I'm quite capable of deciding it and that has been borne out
If you could decide it then why didn't you decide I knew what "That has been Bourne out" means cause that sounds like gibberish
Fuck, they're on to me.

In a show
Jobbs is contrarian to the point of being obnoxious.
where people are brought back from the dead, are shapeshifters, have magic assassin demon babies Time travel is where it fails logic. like relax dude..

Do I need to get out my mansplaining shoes
stop exposing me
I started trolling the GOT thread a bit for some reason (I'm a little lit..) and Cyan told me to pipe down, so I did

Yes. Right and sexy
I think I'm pretty well reasoned, but sometimes I have trouble letting things go.
If you're actually annoyed by my hijinks then I'll adjust my behavior.He must have seen your leg photo.
Fuck that.

Does this face look annoyed to you?
I've been listening to Ludacris all night. I don't want to go to work tomorrow.
Hahahahah fuck.
I miss the days of watching Community...while being in community college.

A bit! :O
I thought we had a nice rational discussion tbh. The real dumpster fire was the GOT thread.
