A show with "mostly talk" isn't a problem, it just needs engaging, interesting dialogues. This episode had a grand total of zero of those.

I, for one, hated this opening scene. It's been more than a year since the last season finale so I forgot how it ended with Arya and how I hated it back then, but I felt cheated exactly the same way last night. To me, almost all of the death in Games of Thrones are rewarding to watch because it feels like the show has…

The fact that Frank resigned should make at least him unable to pursue a political career, which changes the future landscape of the show. Unless the showrunners decide to just say fuck it and have Frank become CEO of Google, murdering/pushing down the stairs every other executive along the way or something, I don't…

I liked the second half of the season better, too. Since they're willing to tell a story about politics but gave up about the plausibility of it all, the whacky espionnage thing is at least entertaining to watch.

Well I strongly disagree. We are nowhere near a definitive end of the show at the end of the season (even if, given the premises of the show, this should come quickly), but the global dynamic changed so much that it is definitely a different story now. Which is a positive step-up from Season 3 (I think ?), where…

I have a question about the whole Blossom family : the way they're portrayed, they all seem obsessed with their legacy, everyone's talking about family blood and whatnot, they all have those ginger hair, and so son. What puzzles me is that both the Blossom parents seem equally attached to that, which doesn't quite…

I caught up with the show last week and watched ep. 1 to 7 in a row, and one of the first conclusion I came to was that the William storyline was in a different timeline. But I don't even remember why I thought about that ; some narrative elements were just shady enough to raise suspicion, I guess, and since he…

The phone call from Bill at the end of the episode killed the show for me. I mean, Jake decided he'd stay by Sadie's side at the hospital instead of going to the shooting, which is fine by me (even if the show made perfectly clear that this first shooting was important) because he's in love. But then Bill, someone who…

I thought about No Country For Old Men myself at the end of the opening, when the rider turns back to return to the saloon. But I was thinking about how the absence of musicale score in the movie worked so well, instead of this voiceover of a line told one minute earlier and a ridiculous violin sound effect.

I was recommended the show by a friend without having read the comic so here I am. I must say that beyond the pilot which was intriguing enough to get me to Ep.4, I'm kinda disappointed. I dont' mind a mystery-driven plot, where you have to put the pieces together and try to figure out why eveyone is acting the way…

So I was going to make a joke about the full-frontal close-up out of nowhere and the apparent return of the HBO C.E.O of Tits, but that ending got me good. I think I never cried that much for a movie or a TV show ever. The details of the plot didn't really make sense, but it hit so hard. He litteraly lived his whole…

Summer finally got his shit together. He got it all together, put it in a backpack, all his shit. So it's together. And he took it somewhere. Not to the shit store or the shit museum, but sadly to his own death.
RIP Summer :'(

Regarding Jon speaking about his resurrection : the first line of dialog we got from Sansa after the reunion cut was "-The soup is good". So she either took it very well or more probably wasn't told about it.

Yeah, I don't deny that it was a beautiful choregraphy. It was just unrealistic and I know I'm biased the same way attorneys must be when the watch trials on shows.

It's always possible, but it doesn't offer any advantage over a single blade against multiple assaillants. In a duel, you can parry with one blade while attacking with the other one, making it somehow effective at going for both attack and defense at the same time. Against multiple people though, a regular fighter…

Man, this flashback swordfight was a trainwreck. I've been doing fencing for 12 years so I know I'm never the target audience for these kind of things but this is frustrating ; there is so much to work with when you get one guy to fight with a single sword (besides being more faithful to the books but that's not…

I just finished the season and I'd like to really say that Lisa Kudrow's acting in this finale was absolutely perfect. When they were sitting side by side at the table, it was obvious the casting was spot-on, but then she managed to act both the craziness Kimmy's mother would have without going full goofy and the…

This episode was a thing of beauty. Titus singing in japanese made me shiver with delight. The jokes All of them. I'm so glad this show is back !

My favorite joke was Schmidt's rebuttal to Nick's idea of painting a fake door : "It won't work, we obviously don't have the talent to fool people into thinking this is the real door". Perfectly illustrates how they argue but still think on the same level and why the comedy works so well between them.

When Betsy wakes up in her bed for the first time, Noreen is reading the myth of Sisyphus, that fellow who had to carry that big boulder up a mountain every day and then do it again the next day because the boulder had rolled down overnight. I think it connects to the Peggy/Lou exchange in the car, and to the season…
