And so, the devil took them to the mountain top and showed them all the brands of the world and their splendor. “Buick, Ortho Pharmaceutical, Nabisco, Coca-Cola. All this I will give you,” he said, “if you will bow down and worship me. And all my corporate synergy.”

No, that's Roose's wife. Ramsay's girlfriend is the one who helped cut Theon's dick off and took to hunting peasant girls in the woods last season. She was side-eyeing from the gallery.

Every episode would be 25% improved if it could spare a few minutes for Margaery to call Cersei an ancient old wino and then boast about fucking her son morning, noon and night. Shots fired in the capital district, call in the goldcloaks.

If only the Centre had some kind of advanced warning that turning teenage Americans into traitors against their country on behalf of the parents who lied to them their whole lives was an untenable proposition. Some sort of catastrophic glitch in the plan to learn from, but alas.

Soft-hearted, capitalist swine. The Heroes of Leningrad didn't all starve and drag themselves through hell and back so that their sons and daughters could talk it out in family therapy sessions. Nadezhda is a fucking soldier.

Boy, this show really hates losing cast members. Almost as much as they hate Ronald Reagan.

I guess I disagree. That wasn't a private conversation between the two. His humiliated daughter was literally sitting right there at the table lobbing firecrackers between them trying to break things up.

That was a scarring experience. And not just for Sally, for all of us watching Don and Betty flirt with teenagers. Or in Betty's case, go a bit deeper than flirting (January Jones has been working with that kid since he was like 8. Ugh).

Who ethered the normal Simpsons writers and snuck that Homer/Lisa scene in there? Can they come back every episode?

Ok, so the hissing was pretty funny.

Clones playing clones playing clones playing clones. Wouldn't mind seeing more of Implants Clone, better her than any attempt to rehab the failed Tony experiment. She didn't die, right? She was just the honeypot to trap the boyclone, so I assume she was rescued but who knows.

That mascara streamed down her face like she was weeping blood. That was straight out of a horror movie.

Having used spy stories to explore all the different wrinkles and nuances of marriage over the years, it's fitting that the show is now tackling the patterns of abuse with this Paige thing. You can tell Liz is edging right up to the line of wiring Paige's jaw shut with all this dangerous insolence. A lot of parents…

Symbolically, Raylan was reclaiming the honor of the old west from pimps and posers like Boon, but real talk, wearing that hat as a murder trophy is one of the more fucked up things he's ever done.

Never a doubt. For better or worse.

It would seem Megan's graciousness withered away along with her career. Being a broke failure has a way of sharpening one's survival instincts vs. one's moral code or pride or what have you.

What is this, Wakeup Call #19 for Don by now? The whole series has been nothing but wakeup calls for him, none of them ever taking. I guess he's lucky he's in the homestretch of a tv show about his life, or else he'd probably find some way to blow this one as well.

There's no reason to automatically discount the possibility that it's a narrative/mystery bait-and-switch and that Dany was never Stormborn at all and instead hails from the Tower of Joy. She's perpetually linked to Rhaegar over and over and over, maybe he's not her brother? Maybe he's her dad.

But presumably not the last flashback, unless the show is going to take the truly daring step of ultimately not giving a shit about Jon or Daenerys' parentage. This is probably the gateway drug to more origin stories of some other major players.

While you might imagine that they’d seek solidarity with each other
