What? The staff is washing and detailing the Hosts like the finely tuned sports cars they are, making sure they're fresh and ready for the Guest to interact (i.e, murder, rape…um, murder AND rape) them.

Didn't they slam EVE Online for the same thing back in the day? I seem to recall some joke along the lines of calling it EVE Online: Space Actuary
Because it was a whole lot of spreadsheeting and not so much with the blowing shit up with lasers. Kind of a seriuos question since I haven't played either game.

I kinda dig the idea that Arthur isn't sure if the Tick is entirely real. I mean, he has been failing to take a serious number of perscription meds, the amount and make up of which cause the police psychiatrist to blanche, for several weeks/months and the poor kid has a history of hearing voices. Arthur makes almost a

Or possibly a good Nicholas Cage doing Adam West doing The Tick. I kid. Warburton's clueless, good-hearted lunk will always be my favorite but I love where Serafinowicz appears to be going with his version. Leavening the daffy inspirational speaches with enough weirdness to make you seriously wonder if The Tick is A)

I am never going to be able to see a fritata on any menu and not have weird flashbacks to smirky Ferdinand. Thanks, show.

Srsly. Almost all of them were horny, amped-up, merc-bros and somehow Susan Duncan groomed her pet Castor clone into Niles Crane 2.0

I can't remember from Season 1 — did someone actually destroy The Big Book of Robert's Bastards that John Aryn had so painstakingly assembled? I guess since Joffrey went full on King Herod, maybe they did…

Varys can prove Gendry's lineage — he's the once that arranged for Gendry to be spirited out of King's Landing while Joffrey was murdering all of Robert's other bastards.

Hey when Jon gets dragged to Kings Landing to marry Dany, Lyanna Mormon and Sansa will rule the North like nobody's business in Jon's name.

I'm torn between the two most meme-tastic responses to this:
— the Tropic Thunder "never go full Mad King"
— or expecting the Spanish Inquisition
choose your own adventure, fellow Sullied! :-)

OMG — if I can't buy a "Nobody Puts Cersei in the Corner" t-shirt (in bright green) on Etsy this morning the Internets will have totally failed us. :-)

"Her downfall was being a decent human being and trying to save all of the people in the Sept." — Game of Thrones in a nutshell.
I, too, am bummer Margaery is gone. Natalie Dormer and the show's writers made her a fascinating character.

Me too, as soon as he *took off the crown* and they held that out-the-window shot I knew — but was still suitably shocked — that he was going to off himself. Poor little guy did really love Margaery that much. Which you'd have though Cersei would have picked up on, but no.

In my fevered, fanservicing dreams somehow Arya finds Gendry and Dany legitimizes him.

Besides the obvious (and wonderful) potential tie-in with The Mummy as next season's Big Bad, if sending him to Cairo is just a transparent excuse to film multiple scenes with Lyle wandering around in a caftan and fez, I'm all in.

It was totally Penny Dreadful's take on bringing your vegan, goth college girlfriend home for a dead animal intensive holiday dinner and then telling your dad you're now a socialist. And it was glorious. Also a nice comic palette cleanser between heavy scenes.

My money is on him being a closet Kabbalist and he'll end up using ancient Jewish magic to help fight next season's big bad. It was really moving in season 2 to watch him, still in secret like it was a shameful thing, embrace his faith in time of crisis to help his friends. That seems a rich narrative vein to mine

5 minutes! 5 bloody minutes into the show and trying not to ball my eyes out. He better be back for season 4, even if he brings every old Egyptian god and curse with him…

Lyle: "Miss Ives, Mr. Chandler, I have a somewhat delicate matter that may require your particular talents…"

Given how obsessed the Nazis were with the occult IRL, I'm not surprised the show version would have some fairly heavy-duty combat magicians and no scruples about offing a handful of ill-prepared Hogwarts students poking around the Eagle's Nest.
