Holy fuck, that reality TV bench is way too deep. I've been unplugged for a few years, though, so, I don't know anything. Of course I haven't heard of these shows. Some are probably decent, I won't pass judgement.

Yeah, I could never work out how that trick was supposed to work. Taking it a step further, though, it makes no sense if Ramsey has actually kept Rickon alive, either. Literally the *minute* Ramsey learned of a rival Bolton heir he murdered his father, Walda and the baby. An adolescent male Stark is a vastly greater…

They didn't cast the actor who played the Greatjon for the Red Wedding scene, so we didn't see him die there, but it makes no sense that he wasn't there without some explanation. Plus all the Umber rank and file that were slaughtered outside the hall, it's just strange book/show disconnect.

Like I said, I have no idea, aside from the hint in the write-up above.

Plot-wise, he's one of those characters who humanize things, and serve to ground and give good advice to the bigger actors (like Varys, Jorah and Sam). If they kill him, they'll have to replace him somehow. But that also makes him an easy pathos death. I have no idea about outside engagements the actor might have,…

I'm pretty sure Shaggydog's really dead, but I doubt the Smalljon's loyalty to Ramsey runs very deep. He didn't bend the knee, after all. I could see him switching sides once the Knights of the Vale arrive and swing the tide. It's a bit annoying to me to sort out, since the book-Umbers were so loyal to the Starks. Not…

I thought it was funny that they replaced the big, boisterous women of House Mormont with a literal waif (if a very assertive one). Does she know her cousin is rummaging around Essos for a cure for greyscale? Why didn't she ask Jon to give back the family Valyrian steel sword?

Arya's going to end up back with the theater troupe. They'll be packing up, preparing to head on to Pentos or wherever when she staggers in. I thought it would be after she kills the Waif, but having the Waif think she killed Arya works just as well. They didn't cast Richard E Grant and Essie Davis in such bit parts.

Book-Loras was/is in the King's Guard with Book-Jaime; I don't think Show-Jaime cares all that much about Show-Loras.

I'm pretty sure Arya's going to join the theater troupe when they hit the road, and that will be her path out of Braavos. I don't think they cast Richard E Grant just to give him a dozen lines in one or two scenes. After killing the Waif, she goes to warn the actress that the Faceless Men have been hired to kill her,…

It's clearly cut to look like Ben got ate, but not definitively. We don't see actual Abby teeth cutting into his actual face. But I didn't see enough ambiguity for it to not seem a bit cheap if it turns out it was someone else.

Part of the reason nobody took Trump seriously this time around is that all his previous dalliances with running for President (and there are many, going back more than 20 years, with both party labels) coincided with a new book, or a new season of his reality show, obviously shilling for same. It seems likely that…

3 eyed Corvid, it's all good.

That bumps things up a half-grade, at least.

Duly noted. I will watch with no further research.

I need to check out "I Origins." "The East" has an interesting premise (the infiltrator of a clandestine organization comes to sympathize with said organization), but is undone by it's own politics. First they posit left-wing terrorists that don't really currently exist in the US; then they clearly sympathize with the…

She also co-wrote and co-produced. "Another Earth" and "The Sound of My Voice" are great, and "The East" is interesting, if problematic. I'm really looking forward to her Netflix project.

We had one that loved to lay on shoes, especially sandals and open toed shoes that he could stick his paws through.

They both wear expensive suits.

Just the ones that bet on one of them to die in the dead pool.
