The review talks about Davos being angry with Melisandre because of Shireen's "remnants" at Dragonstone. I think @UncleMumbly:disqus explanation that he meant mementos of her, rather than literally her remains, makes sense.

Ah. I guess I took that a bit too literally.

Wasn't Shireen burned in the north before Stannis fought Ramsay? I'm reasonably sure she wasn't burned before they left Dragonstone.

Especially because, necessarily, if the fog cover was so significant that the "good" Greyjoys couldn't see the "bad" Greyjoys coming, how did the bad Greyjoys possibly know where and how to attack?

I like that the last 15 minutes of that episode was a poorly shot, poorly light, poorly choreographed fight between two factions I couldn't care less about, but who were apparently absolutely essential to Dany's plan for taking Westeros. So that's great. Seriously, the plan was for Euron to bring Cersei Yara and

Boy did I not expect that one minute teaser to make me all misty, but, uh, yeah. Right in the feels.

This would be an acceptable alternative.

And Mallbrats!

Plenty of other people have suggested this, but someone needs to put into production immediately a Batman Beyond movie with Michael Keaton returning as old Bruce Wayne.

Tim Cook: Doesn't look like anything to me.

That's why I was so disappointed that NBC didn't take a risk on Powerless. That show had such an amazing cast and such a wonderful premise and, by the time of the latter aired episodes, was getting much funnier and much better about using them. But, nope. DOA.

I still sort of can't believe Preacher ended like that, but I also sort of can't imagine how else it could've ended.

I'm watching The Office for the first time (just passed the S5 Christmas party episode), and season 1 doesn't work at all. It's not funny. It's more than affirmatively offensive. The cast chemistry is all wrong.

Jonathan Tucker has had a very interesting career. If you just look at a picture of him, he seems like a perfectly normal guy, but somehow as soon as he starts moving, he's extremely unsettling. Maybe that's more a consequence of the roles he's taken rather than anything intrinsic about him? Either way, he seems like

I hope Kinja randomly suffers a crippling, permanent software failure

Right. Whether Westworld really takes off will depend entirely on how they leverage the prologue that was Season 1 into an ongoing premise, which is going to have to rely much more on strong character and plotting and much less on tricky timelines, delayed payoffs, and puzzlebox narratives.

Many of the best sitcoms of the '00s had dreadful first seasons. Like really really really bad, but blossomed into brilliance almost immediately afterwards, The Office and Parks and Rec being the two foremost examples.

I'm not weighing in on whether this show will get cancelled. All of your points are very valid reasons why it may be.

Except we know for a fact that's not true.

Damn it, you got to the Shadowrun reference first.
