I agree that it does throw the timing of some things out of whack, but I think the Purple Wedding would make sense in the finale because it is the culmination of so many arcs: Sansa finally escapes King's Landing, Tyrion is imprisoned, end of Joffrey's reign. Plus, given how much this has been Jaime's season, I could…

It only just occurred to me that Jaime Lannister shares a lot in common with Vic Mackey, at least in terms of audience perception. Both of them are complicated antiheroes (as little as the words 'hero' and 'villain' mean anything in Game of Thrones) but they both committed an atrocious act in the series' very first…

"The last several minutes are basically a video game, and a pretty good one, but…"
I'm usually OK with the 'videogame comparison as negative critique' because they often hold up as meaning 'lots of instantly gratifying action, not much attention to character detail'. However, it's not as tolerable when The Walking Dead…

I think mention should be made of why Sorkin didn't write this episode. I can't remember if I heard him say in a radio interview or a commentary, but basically the episode order for season 4 was 23, 1 more than other seasons. Sorkin knew he wouldn't be able to deliver all of them and shopped this out to the playwright…

Yeah, I'm surprised this scene wasn't mentioned in last week's writeup, as it's one I remember really well. Though it's a bit of a double-edged sword - I like that it finally gives Sally a moment as she definitely needed one, but it also meant giving Sally "a moment" in the Sorkin sense of women completely losing it…

I saw Aaron Sorkin give a talk/Q&A at the Oxford Union a few years ago, and he admitted that Isaac and Ishmael was one of the worst things he had ever written (he is capable of humility, honest!). The excuse was that in the wake of 9/11 he felt like the show needed to address 'how America felt' but production had…

"Bartlet reacted to the 9/11 attacks, which happened in his world as well as ours."False. Sure, the increasing threat of terror was there (including an attempted bombing of the Golden Gate Bridge), but 9/11 didn't happen (IN THE SHOW).

KNOWLEDGE IS PORRIDGE is just about my favourite Thick Of It quote so far.

Harry Lloyd (Viserys) was in that episode too! Too bad they won't get to reunite on this show, unless they REALLY divert from the books.
