Greetings andor salutations, people Welcome to io9s occasionally weekly mail column, where I solve the mysteries of the world of nerddom to you, both fictional. Nearly 2,000 automotive mechanics in the Chicago area are about to enter their seventh week on strike, fighting dealers for major structural changes to their employment. Mostly Game of Thrones Edition. Greetings, my Westerosi window envelopes As you can probably guess, last weeks episode of Game of Thronesand its increasing dominance over the pop culture landscapehas filled the ol postmans stolen mailbag to the brim. There are a few spoilers for last weeks 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 fuckAunt, Man. Aaron W. So Ive been struggling with this question a lot Is it ok to ship JonDany On the con side, they are aunt and nephew, which is gross. On the pro side it would sidestep Dany needing Jon to bend the knee and is a solution that the northmen would probably accept it would be thematically consistent fireice and it would eliminate almost all of the tension for trying to root for two characters who are at odds with each other due to circumstances beyond their control and the expectations of their subjects. Given that, I still would come out on the con side, except that we already know that some degree of inbreeding e. Westeros and that the Targaryens in particular practiced an even more exclusive e. So the auntnephew dynamic is an absolute deal breaker to modern audiences, but maybe wouldnt be the worst thing in WesterosLots of reasons it would be good, but one BIG reason it is unacceptable. Thoughts Shipping is shipping. Ive seen worse than aunt and nephew. Much worse. And the show is definitely presenting them as future romantic partnersfuckbuddies, which makes it as legitimate as these things get. Their familial relationship may freak you out, but thats 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 doyou can absolutely complain about how omnipresent it is in his stories andor how its portrayed, but its not inaccurate to the source material of that reality. And one part of that reality is medieval and certainly ancient nobilitys tendency toward incest, especially between uncles and niecesto the point where its got its own name, avunculate marriage. As you said, the booksshow have already shown that Targaryens have been more than willing to marry within the family in order to keep their bloodline pure, so theres a precedent for Jon and Dany starting a relationship. And since were talking about an aunt and nephew here since Jon is the son of Danys deceased brother Rhaegar and not uncleniece, a JonDany hook up would kind of strike a blow for Westerosi gender equality, in a tiny, messed up way. At any rate, as a Targaryen, Daenerys is obviously going to be down with getting down with Jon Snow, as it would be kind of meaningless to sieze the Iron Throne without leaving a new Targaryen line to carry on ruling. I am far more skeptical that Jon would be cool with sleeping with his aunt, given the rest of Westeros isnt nearly as cool with incest hence Cersei and Jaimes hiding of their sexual relationshipwell, 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 Jons 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 keepingwill keep the truth of Jons parentage from everyone until after Daenerys gets pregnant for that very reason. The Three Eyed Raven knows this has to happen, so mums the word for now Or GRRMor the show, for that matter, since we know its diverging from GRRMs plan in major wayscould 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, thats a pretty good ideaJaime in the Water. Brett H. I see people talking everywhere about how Jaime could possibly be alive, but howHes way at the bottom of the lake and in full armor. 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. Im not going to say its 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 its still realistic in the basic laws of physics. So isnt 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 doesnt know them, and doesnt 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 Danys 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. Heres 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. Its why Tyrion can pick out Jaime from half a mile away amid a battlefield full of smoke and destruction. Its why Cersei and her allies can suddenly kick ass or all of Highgardens gold can get into Kings 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 doesnt 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. But the choices were to either have the story on fast forward so it actually ends next year or for Daenerys to have her first battle with Cerseis forces in the season eight finale. So with all that said Since Game of Thrones has forgone its sense of realism a bit, I can see it having Bronn manage to dive down to Jaime, cutting him out of his armor, and dragging him to the surface before he fatally drowns. I also, as I mentioned in my recap this week, think it doesnt 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 drownif 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 whos going to give him a castle, after all, and the Lannister will probably live to fight another day. And I also think hell be the one to perform those book spoilers valonqar duties, and obviously, he cant do that if hes dead. Last time I looked, I didnt see any friendly priests of Rhllor nearby. Where to even beginThe Spoils of War was the reason we watch Game of Thrones, one of thoseRead more Read. Gone But Not Forgotten. Michael V. Postman,After re watching GOT from the beginning a few times, I believe that Ser Barristan Selmy is one character whose presence would enhance Season 7 while not distracting from the current main plots of the show. 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 theyre best at, Jon disagrees. The Chicago Mechanic Strike Keeps Getting Uglier. Nearly 2,0. 00 automotive mechanics in the Chicago area are about to enter their seventh week on strike, fighting dealers for major structural changes to their employment. And a week after the group representing dealers accused the technicians union of violating federal labor laws, the union filed its own federal complaint against the group for what it calls bargaining in bad faith. The strike, which began on Aug. Automobile Mechanics Local 7. While on strike this month, Joe Schubkegel saw his 1. Read more Read. Interactions between the Local 7. Chicago New Car Dealer Committee, got spiteful as soon as the strike started, and increasingly so as the weeks went on. Technicians claimed that dealerships were pushing their tools outside, canceling their health insurance and hiring people to take their place almost immediately after the strike began. Nearly 2,0. 00 mechanics in the Chicago area have been on strike since Tuesday over work hours. Read more Read. Negotiations of a contract offer have gone on since before the strike, with offers such as hourly pay raises and better benefits from the dealer committee being denied due to their nature of not addressing what mechanics see as the real issue a pay structure that doesnt pay for all of the hours worked during a day. Jalopnik has been told that some area dealers dont favor this idea because they feel as if workers can become vested employees and use the pay minimums set by the union, which require workers to be paid at least 3. Union members say they want pay for hours worked because some repair jobs genuinely take more time than the assigned pay hours say they do, and because companies are continually chopping hours per job. Just over a week after the dealer committee filed a complaint with the National Labor Relations Board accusing the union of illegal activity after several rogue contracts between dealerships and unionized technicians, the union said Sept. NLRB to accuse the dealer committee of bargaining in bad faith. The charge also shows up on the NLRBs website. The union claims the NLRB charge came after the dealer committee allegedly took its last best final offer straight to technicians before allowing the union to look at it. The union webpage did not describe what the final offer entails, but this is not the first time the dealer committee has claimed an offer to be the final one. From the statement on the unions webpage After having an opportunity to review the NCDCs Last Best Final Offer LBFO, and hearing feedback from you on the line today as well as fielding several phone calls, it is clear that there are still several questions regarding the specifics of the LBFO. There is a lack of clarity over issues concerning continuation of insurance and return to work issues, i. NLRB charge against the Union and permanent replacements. On that note, the NCDC stated that it communicated to the Union that the NCDC was prepared to continue to bargain regarding all other remaining issues and pursue possible compromises so that the parties might reach an overall tentative agreement on all issues, but the Union has not yet responded to NCDCs invitation to bargain further. The NCDC had its meeting on Tuesday one week after the Union submitted its counter proposal, yet less than 2. LBFO offer on you. The NCDC also dealt directly with you by providing you the offer before the Union had a chance to review. The Union has since filed an NLRB charge for bargaining in bad faith as a result of the NCDCs actions. Other posts on the unions websites talked about alleged scare tactics and playing on every fear by the dealer group. Heres what a representative from the group told the Chicago Tribune about the unions NLRB claim Dave Sloan, a spokesman for the New Car Dealership Committee, said the charge is without merit. We sent it to the union before we sent it to our dealers, he said. We obviously didnt send it directly to the technicians. The committee sent the offer to dealers so the mechanics would have an accurate portrayal of the deal, Sloan said. The technicians have run out of time, he said. If they dont return to work this week, according to the committees site, many of the workers will experience a four week gap in health coverage once they do return. Free Download The Smurfs Movie.
