But was the Dornish trader intentionally poisoning her? Or was it just a hygiene issue?

Nick di Paolo has been an acting revelation, both here and on Louie. Think what you will of his comedy, but that dude has serious talent! Hope people notice and he starts getting bigger roles.

Well yeah, she was hot.

I half expected Richard to install The Lady at Pied Piper to take care of his HR problems at the end of the episode.

I find it funnier to believe his promoting Big Head entailed giving up his own office.

True, it's why even though I really enjoy the show, the episodes I rewatch most (and show to friends so they don't scared off by a depressing ep) are the Letterman ones and I think it's simply because there they put the focus on Louie's hopes and dreams rather than his misery and fears.

I once met a girl who said she doesn't like laughing. Laughter being the one thing that I believe makes life worth living, I immediately found her both deeply irritating and highly irresistible.

Can't wait for him to go full on into that silver-haired Carlin-look. He should also grow his remaining hair and beard out and become our comedy Aristotle.

True, if the Fire God has real powers, it would follow that there's some real magic behind the Seven as well. Hope the Sparrow stuff shows us more about that religion and how it relates to the other beliefs.
I'm assuming the Seven are the 'new' gods when Northerners say 'by the old gods and the new'? And the old gods…

Probably just that little notification you get from Disqus when you see someone replied to your post…?

I'm gonna take a guess and say you tried to get into Berghain, then ended up at Tresor.
They're both dungeon-y (Tresor literally means 'vault', while Berghain is an old factory building with darkrooms where faceless men go to f***) but Berghain is harder to get into than the actual House of Black & White.

Yeah, I've been wondering for a while now how much the Lord of Light religion implicitly supports fire-breathing dragons and Targaeryan rule. (Both fire/light-based, in contrast to Westerosi religions and Arya's training, which seems to worship Death, probably because Lord of Dark would have been too on the nose).

I love that they keep bringing back the theme of leadership in the form of a beheading with each of the new generation of rulers. Ned Stark was the last of the old generation, exercising the law but ignoring change. Next I think was Joffrey ordering for Ned's head, signifying that change (and dive into chaos).

How much do we know about Qyburn's motivations? He seemed like a decent dude to me early in the series when he fixed Jaimie's hand (that was him right?), but ever since the Mountain fight they seem to have revved up his creepiness.
Is Qyburn loyal to Cersei? And would the Mountain monster rather obey its maker than the…

From the trailer, it seems as though they are actually trying to wrestle with some of the issues a world with Superman might have to deal with. It seems less about who would win in a fight, and more about the philosophical question, what is a hero/god, how do you distinguish good power from bad power and ultimately…

Were you also getting a Gilbert Gottfried vibe from the open mic act once he was on Jimmy Fallon?
Watching it I thought it was a direct mockery of his style of comedy, but after reading your comment, I think your 'Bonus Round insight' – about how close comedy is to tragedy – nails it. And though Gottfried is not one of…

My hope is also that with Trevor Noah as host, CC is trying to broaden the frame of the Daily Show to international rather than US-centric.
I hope they don't have Noah retread Jon Stewart and insult Fox News and Republican congressmen. I hope they let Noah tackle more global issues, which he seems more suited for (his…

I have made a bet with the universe that every person existing likes at least one track of Kanye's. Be they self-proclaimed 'hiphop-haters', classical composers, strict Pakistani dads or people who straight up hate the guy. For that is the POWER of Kanye.

Is it stealing from the 'hot underground' when he's featuring those very artists on a lot of his tracks? (eg All Day feat. a bunch of Grime artists)

Probably more of a henchman. He'd be excellent as a sleek, modern-day version of Jaws!
