In AV Club terms, it's how hipster liberals refer to other liberals, e.g.:

An actual reporter would be promoted to anchor for that.

The other problem with CGI is it can be a lot tougher for the human characters/actors to interact with.  I'm sure it's easier to get into character talking to a puppet instead of a green-screen.

Although I don't care for it much, I wouldn't exactly say it's among the worst episodes (of what I've seen).  More that it's my least favorite type of Farscape episode (mystic mumbojumbo showdown), but reasonably well executed within that category.

Speaking of the Pilot puppeteer work, have those guys done anything since Farscape?  Because someone needs to use those guys.  Another Sci-fi show, a legal drama, a news magazine, I don't care, those guys should always have a puppet somewhere on TV.

Mixed feelings about this episode (and last week).

And the posts need to contain descriptions of what you are eating.

The Law and Order theme also works well.  It's like a musical enema.

Wow, that was scary.  I was trying to remember who she was (haven't heard that name in a decade), and my memory got there through Mark's face.

But at least it's recycling.

In hindsight, you're right, the chainmail was pretty much right after the song from her perspective.  I think I just got the impression she shrugged it off because they cut to Arya and the Hound in between those two points.

As someone who hasn't seen The Wire yet, I can't really complain.

No.  Blank Strong was dumb and lame the first time it was used and its just as dumb and lame now.

It's still worth trying to avoid spoilers, IMO.

Speaking strictly within the show-universe, you could make a case for Arya being the protagonist of this episode (in the strong-viewer indentification category).

Huh, I always thought it was immigrate from, but emigrate to. 

And poops in a field!

Depends, which wedding was the schlong-leech?  Because there's no forgiving that.

I think I get what you're saying.  I wouldn't be surprised if this get pointed to as a "jump the shark" moment for the show, because in an original, unadapted series, it would certainly seem that way.  It's not necessarily fair, but it may get spun that way by non reader critics.

If Arya really wants to be efficient with her list, she'll just print up a bunch of "Ned Stark" name tags, stick them on her enemies, and walk away.
