There are many types of cool.

The only two characters from the original series that were actually ‘cool’ were Audrey (who tried to be cool and succeeded) and Deputy Hawk (who was just naturally cool and didn’t need to try).

More articles to prompt discussions... back when io9 used to do regular posts like “10 best sci-fi written/ starring whatnots and what have you” the discussions after has led to me finding out about books/films/games etc I’d never heard of . The first I heard of The Middleman was on one such thread.

This week’s episode was chock full of fun. My running commentary:

“I’ve often said if Freddie Mercury were alive, I would have asked Queen to do the soundtrack.”

...looks like Thor: Ragnarok will be Queen-free...

How does that sauce taste with pickles?

Okay okay sorry. I just viscerally feel Rick’s passion.

I just wonder if Littlefinger is on Arya’s list... cuz that look also came across as “Holy shit... am I next?”

• Sansa: “I wonder how much Arya charges for her assassination services?”

I wonder if the fancy lad school is the same place as the fancy lad academy from Cabin Boy?

Littlefinger: “I wonder how much Arya charges for her assassination services?”

I about died at the “oh they didn’t teach you that at Fancy Lad School eh?” I do kind of wish they had made him more of the ahole that he is in the books, but probably not enough time.

I LOVED the progression of Sansa going “oh hah hah, yes your list of people you’re going to kill” to “oh shit dawg, she MEANS it,…

• Sansa: “Shit, is my little sis going to kill me in my sleep?”

The heavy amount of Bronn time had me thinking Bronn would die a good 20-30 minutes before the episode ended, and I’m literally shocked he’s still alive.

I yelled, “Punch him in the face!” when Jon and Theon reunited. I’m not proud of it, but it happened.

-Bran would be the worst person with whom to drop acid-

Arya is going to kill the Night’s King with that dagger.

“Fancy Lad School”. Goddamn, I love you, Bronn
