Olenna reasonable? She told Dany to nuke King's Landing. She said she cares nothing for anyone there; just wants vengeance on Cersei.

Never heard of him myself. I did think they spent an uncharacteristically long time on the musical number.

Yeah. If Wun-wun had made a tree trunk club — or they had time, made an iron weapon from a old gate, etc — he could have mowed down Ramsay's army single handed. Or imagine him swinging a 100-metre chain like a whip. Literally he could have sliced through them like butter. Instead he was just punching them and grabbing

Obviously it's not just physically peeling a face off and slipping it on. Her whole body changes: hands notably. Voice is exact. So it IS magic, not "Face/Off" plastic surgery, the face is the talisman that preserves the entire appearance of the donor.

If the Ironborn can rebuild their fleet in basically no time, on a bare rocky island, why don't the other houses all just get a few dozen shipwrights (poach from the Ironborn if none others handy) and do it themselves? Looks like a huge war fleet was built from scratch in the time it took Theon and Asha to sail to

Lolly's arrest by the bike cops was probably just one of a series. As she keeps having run-ins with the law, she accumulates a record; will get more and more serious penalties. And we saw she is certainly capable of violence. Since it's much easier to get someone into jail than to get them mental health treatment,

Yes, they got clean away with Pizzagate, and the Bowling Green Massacre.

The Koch brothers invested in buying influence, and got it. E.g., they created the "climate controversy" and got the Republicans to swallow it. They're fucking the world for their own gain and getting away with it. They're not anonymous. But no on on "the liberal left" said that was a requirement.

Yeah, it's nuts. He must have have known Claire wasn't going to be his puppet. Without her, and without a few billion in the bank like the Koch brothers, he doesn't have any power at all.

Nacho was supposed to be there. He's Salamanca's lieutenant. But when he got there he saw it was only him and Salamanca, so he had an opportunity to kill him, if he could do it before the others got there. Very risky, but he was in fear for his father.

HHM and Davis and Main recommended the clients not accept the first offer, expecting a much bigger payoff later. But it might be years away.

It seems to be set in "present day", but, like "Man in the High Castle", history diverged decades earlier.

"The love connection scene in the garage was awkward since he's a goody two shoes computer goof with a joker face and she's a hot, previously heartless political robot."

This is at least 100 years in the future. Since they can construct perfect human simulacra you'd think that surgery would have advanced to the point that they could give you a perfect body that looked however you liked indefinitely. So William, the MiB, a billionaire, obviously told the surgeon to "make me Ed Harris"

And why the hell is it so hard to send data out of the park? We saw someone beaming the complete dataset to a host in a few seconds. Anyway, there must be a huge logistics operation, shipping tons of food, clothing, giant construction machines, etc, etc in; and a data chip now is tiny. It'd be impossible to stop.

The writers said they changed GoT's "Others" to "White Walkers" because you can't hear the capital letter; on paper it was clear, not in speech. And if it was to avoid recalling another TV show, calling their zombies "walkers" is an odd way to do it.

Well, thank God I'm just reading this now, after watching the season finale. And he mentioned "William=Man In Black" in the fucking episode 8 review too.

Copyright doesn't give you the right to own a plot forever. If they could, Phillip K Dick's estate could sue both of them.

"Warmth and history"??? How about "Roy Cohn level of hypocritical public disdain fro gays and private exploitation and debauchery of young men"?

That will be hilarious. I just read the 2nd book, where the black girl, Odetta, is calling Roland a honky mofo. Guess that has to be rewritten. Maybe she'll call him an Uncle Tom.
