Does Homer even have a job any more?

I had always been under the impression that their failure to get to the fireworks factory was one aftereffect of the buyout, shortly before that Itchy and Scratchy (and Poochie) episode aired, of ACME Fireworks by Godot Enterprises.

Nikolaj Coster-Waldau as the Major General in The Pirates of Penzance. . . that could work.

I could totally go for a show in which Arya is trapped in a love-tester machine.

She'll come back as the White Walker (or Army of the Dead lieutenant) who gets to tell Bran that for someone who is all-seeing, he sure was dumb when he went through the wall, thereby cancelling the magic that has kept out the White Walkers up until now.

Or they could just catapult corpses of people who died from bubonic plague over the wall. That works, too. As does storming the city, slaughtering every inhabitant, and making a pile of their heads as a gentle hint to the next citadel on the list.

I would have put it more succinctly: "Too many dragons, not enough tits."

I share your pain, my brother.

Maybe Sam will find a Map Scroll and send it to Dragonstone, thereby enabling Jon to locate the Amulet of Yendor.

So you're saying that G.R.R. Martin is really a front for Simon Morgenstern?

You left out the part where Hound kills the Mountain, possibly after Qyburn's antidote stops working and the poison takes effect again.

IOW, "It was a dark and stormy night. Suddenly, a shot rang out! A door slammed. The maid screamed. Suddenly, a pirate ship appeared on the horizon! While millions of people were starving, the king lived in luxury. Meanwhile, on a small farm in Kansas, a boy was growing up."

"Once the rockets go up, who cares where they come down?
That's not my department," says Werner von Braun.

Whatever happened to his "Little Sparrows" anyway? Oh, I forgot — like so many things in this series, they disappeared from Westeros without explanation on the day that their presence made it too complicated for the writers to work out a plot that would make any sense.

Yes. They said explicitly that the gold made it safely to King's Landing.

1. Bran has been touched by the Night King — Benjen's story implies that the magic spells imbued in the wall won't work any more.
