Your friend's got no business making a Manhattan with anything but rye. Throwing Angel's Envy into a bad Manhattan is just salting the wounds. Sorry man.

Yeah as viewers it was fun! But imagine Arya's frame of mind to cut up two people she murdered, insert them in a pie she steals from the kitchen, and ensure that Walter realized all this before he dies.

I enjoyed that more as it wasn't quick-cut and it was just an organic scene opening the episode. D&D didn't have to justify the flashback, they just did it, and you could actually watch it for dramatic heft. This, you just sit there and be assaulted by imagery for some reason.

I felt like this rapid-cut, flashback sequence jarred with the whole meditative flashback aesthetic done with Bran prior (which I didn't like anyway - feel like if D&D want to show sequences from the past, just open the episode with them). I felt like I suddenly got warped into a black metal music video. It didn't…

@ NeccoWafers, you're a fool. So Pitchfork absolutely murdered Arcade Fire on their album after 'Funeral' by giving it an 8.4 and a Best New Music tag? Right.

@ Spaz: Bell never tried for redemption, true, but he was at least keenly aware of the shit he dealt in and wanted to distance himself from it, at least in the eyes of others. He wanted to go up in the world, like almost everybody else.

What the hell ever about Bodie. He never redeemed himself, and was annoying as fuck to boot. Practically any death at all is more affecting than Bodie - even that little girl that got hit in her room on account of a street scuffle. I'm kind of baffled by the Bodie love, as I believe a writer or two of the show has…
