Not the first time.

You can’t explain how scary it is to be a woman walking alone at night unless you’ve been a woman walking alone at night, and there’s a particular kind of terror involved as a woman being attacked by a man or group of men.

Which has all of nothing to do with what was said. The implication that being jumped by a group

“It’s the two dragons Viserys promised”

No, that was Laenor. He was already there, at the war council at the start with his father and... uncle? I think uncle. Either way, the whole ploy was for someone to go onto the beach as a suicide mission and draw them out.

It wasn’t a deus ex machina as it was exactly their plan

Exactly. If we want to see liberal [current year] views slapped onto a fantasy world we’ll watch Rings of Power. ;-)

Is he actually a Nazi, or he an “Internet Nazi”, so basically someone who isn’t in lockstep with whatever the left/Democrats are saying?

“Well, they have guns, and we have Cyril, who is like the opposite of a gun.”

Genuinely the line that made me laugh the most.

Ray’s whole “propeller down your throat and engine up your ass” rant sounded like he was trying to channel Mallory. If she’d delivered that barb it probably would have landed and got the

“Mum, I want the MCU to inctroduce the Wrecking Crew!”
“We have the Wrecking Crew at home!”

... and in this episode, we got the “at home” Wrecking Crew. But hey, they have a “boss” who’s going to be “mad” at them for not getting Jen’s blood.

Sterns?

“At first, she’s terrified, as any woman would be.”

Or any person would be. It’s not like a guy getting jumped by four people would just puff out his chest, laugh at them, and then raise his fists. Getting jumped is scary. What’s it got to do with being “cisgendered”?

This reviewer is cracked...

“...his show had every opportunity to make its cast more diverse, especially considering how much (justified!) flack Game Of Thrones got for its homogenous central cast.”

There’s been no evidence shown they had a sexual relationship

It’s been half a year since Viserys named his daughter Rhaenyra his heir, but she’s still only a cupbearer at the Small Council meetings. I’m pretty sure a male heir to the Iron Throne wouldn’t be forced to serve as a glorified waiter, but, again, Westeros gonna Westeros.

Her father has her as his cupbearer so she’s

I completely agree that Season 8 (and 7, for that matter) were rushed. I don’t know why they felt the need to race through them when they clearly had enough stuff there to do the full 10 episodes per season.

But Dany’s turn was something that we had building from the word go.

“... ended with what is arguably the most poorly thought-out character assassination in television history: In a rushed heel turn, Daenerys Targaryen, our intelligent, ambitious, and charismatic (if controversial) heroine for eight seasons, looked down on King’s Landing from astride her dragon, went abruptly apeshit,

Maisie Richardson-Sellers finally stars in a British TV series but still has to do an American accent! I enjoyed this, even with the rather sudden ending (is there a season 2?).

And it’s another recent TV series with not nearly enough Adrian Lester (after Triggerpoint).

It’s a summarising generalisation. Most of the D+ shows of this ilk are 6 episodes. Most of the episodes are around the 30-35 minute mark (plus very long credits).

But you knew that already. You were just being needlessly pedantic for reasons that will remain known only to you...

Even strong shows have bad episodes, and this was the worst one for this series.

We essentially learnt nothing we didn’t already know (or couldn’t have guessed from the last episode’s time-travelling cliff hanger). As a result, it served as a mostly pointless side-quest involving characters we don’t know to show us

Dude has a killer agent. He got an “And” credit in Endgame for 3 and a half seconds of screen time among all those other actors, many of them far bigger than him.

If anything his agent should get a raise.

They combine to in a massive crossover to be the JSA - The Jack Society of Amazon. :P

Somehow they’ll blame this on Russia.

:-P

Ooooh! So that’s how you pronounce “Latinx”.

Hopefully that’s the last time we have to hear that nonsense term out loud though.
