It’s been quite a while since I’ve posted a Search & Rescue post, where I respond to some strangely specific search queries in order to help the good people of the internet in their quest for knowledge. This time around I got a lot of queries about sex scenes in Game of Thrones, and a lot of queries about feet. But there were a number of questions I knew I could help people out with.

did sansa want to push joffrey
Back at the end of season one of Game of Thrones, also known as the happy time when the show didn’t stray too far from the book, then-King Joffrey took Sansa to a wall at the Red Keep where he had put her father’s head on a spike. There was a moment where Sansa and Joffrey were standing on a bridge with a long drop below, and it did look as if Sansa was about to push him over the edge, or maybe to jump off the edge herself. Then the Hound intervened and it didn’t happen. Imagine how different the story would be if he had been pushed off.

You can find it on the east side of the park, near 75th St. Here is a map of where you can find the statue. And here is my New York post where I found the statue!

where was the house of black and white filmed
The interiors were shot at Titanic Studios in Belfast, but the exterior is a set built in front of a place called the Zagreb Hotel in Croatia. Here are some interesting photos of the set being constructed.

The above Arabic phrase translates as “Tarkovsky’s Stalker”. I wrote a review for Stalker (1979) here!

who was the lannister that is helping the high sparrow
It’s our good friend Lancel Lannister!

what is the meaning of this quote “in the darkness you could hear the crying of women, the wailing of infants and the shouting of men”?
This quote refers to a letter from Pliny the Younger who witnessed and described the eruption of Mt Vesuvius in the year 79 CE, the volcano which destroyed the glorious city of Pompeii. The quote describes the plumes of smoke erupting from the volcano and covering the sky, forcing the people of Pompeii to cry out for their loved ones in the dark, to try and find safety.

what’s in the suitcase in pulp fiction
Half the fun is not knowing what’s in the suitcase and I would encourage you to become more comfortable with the ambiguities we experience in life. We never find out, but there’s a rumour that it’s filled with gold bars, or maybe just a warm-toned lightbulb. In any case, we will never know, and I think that’s kind of magical too.

christian grey and ana steele fanfiction
This search term blows my mind because the searcher is essentially looking for fanfiction about a book series that was initially penned as Twilight fanfiction. A fanfiction of a fanfiction. This is too Inception-y for me to handle.

why do the showrunners hate stannis
I will never understand this. Maybe because they are fixated on the fact that he’s more of a complex character than most and they don’t understand his logic, maybe they prefer to write people who are more straightforward or easily likeable. I still like Stannis because I read the books and know better than to believe the silly showrunners.
Edit: I think Sati said it best in the comments below: “showrunners hate Stannis because they are shallow idiots and he is not a young blonde with huge tits = waste of screentime”
