I loved that Star Trek episode.

I wonder if people's reaction to this episode is inversely proportional to how seriously they take the show as a whole. I thought it was silly but fun, which is pretty much how I've seen the whole thing.

Very sporting of the Night King to aim at the dragon miles up in the air instead of the one sitting in front of him with all our heroes aboard, I thought.

"So much wrong in so few words"

….yes, it was Blank Page.

Starting piano sounds just like at least one song from Adore. Blank Page, maybe?

OK, I know nothing about music production (or music at all, in fact), but it sounds to me like something very weird's going on with that song. It's like the vocals and the piano are having a loudness fight in a very small box. Or is it just that they're not in tune with each other? Either way, it's… not pleasant.

Second to French Guest Slowly Leaving Room for me, but close.

Did seem a bit mean of David Lynch not to help them out with the wife's name. But I guess that's WHAT THEY DO

Yeah, I wouldn't go that far but it is very noticeably lacking- feels like most of the lines are just there to get A to B in time for C to happen. With a lot of the fun gone out of the plotting and character interactions, I'm mainly watching for big violent dragon battles now, so this episode was… not great.

Damn, this comment's prescient given the show's reputation three years (!) on.

Eh? The grade is an A- and I can't see much like those criticisms in there.

"I, Daenyrys Stormborn, mother of dragons etc etc, refuse to use my dragons to set fire to the city because the people wouldn't like it."

…oh, and Cersei turned the Sept into a fireworks factory. I guess GoT has made a few very literal visits.

…although I might have said exactly the same thing about the Battle of Blackwater…

I think this is the most literal version I've ever seen of a TV show finally getting to the fireworks factory.

I think Euron Greyjoy's also pretty aware that it's not a Serious Drama.

Das Arkadensfeuer?

Shooting a crossbow bolt into her dad and aiding and abetting her enemies will probably do it.

Gordon's French guest leaving the room was, through some magic of performance and direction, one of the funniest things I've ever seen.
