Screw it, I'm just going to come out and say it: I can't believe they blew up the moon.

Fun fact: I wrote about all these episodes before knowing what the episode titles were, so this as a fun one to discover. Although not as fun as "Lunar Lunacy." A classic.

Yes, that's absolutely what Ruiz was doing, but that doesn't mean Piper *deserved* it.

You're telling me? I had every opportunity to make myself look smarter, but instead had to stare at my wrongness when editing, committed as I am to preserving immediate reactions.

We're getting closer to the climactic battle between moons—damnit, I wasn't supposed to spoil about the secret moon—so let's stay vigilant for just a few more days.

I had actually forgotten about this runner when I had Shake Shack at JFK on a layover earlier this week, but how fitting.

"Rallied a group of Nazis to be her own gang" is not how I would describe what Piper did. She was clearly uncomfortable with the sentiment her group represented once it started, but she was in too deep. But at no point did she extend the Nazis' beliefs within the ethos of the group, or within her own actions, and so…

I would agree that Morello is a slightly different case—I think Morello is terrifying, and I still don't know how I'm supposed to read her, and I think that speaks to the way the show is absolutely willing to unsettle the comfort we experience with these characters. However, it also wants them to be charming/fun, and…

I'm not arguing that there is no racism in her point of view. But she's not claiming superiority or inferiority, nor if she enacting these stereotypes with any type of "intent" to do so. Racism functions as a spectrum—what Soso does here, regardless of who may be enacted it, is inflected by a racist worldview but is…

A branding? I can accept this.

I really need to keep my "THAT'S WHAT THE COMMENTS ARE FOR" GIF on my phone.

I've seen the whole season. You're talking to Past Myles. I do not associate with him.

Warden McNutt here with a few minutes, so here's the daily reminder.

To answer your question as earnestly as I can: yes and no. No, I don't have to always focus on the negative, and haven't with much of the season (which I've liked, and which this doesn't really derail). However, this was a case where I was disappointed in the emptiness I felt in the battle, and so while I could have…

But I have no recollection of making this specific complaint about Ramsay being developed enough, so I don't see why you're positioning this as some sort of "Gotcha" comment.

This is an incredibly random future story detail to be discussing vaguely, but as the comment guidelines note—please only discuss elements of this episode and those before it.

That was less "Pfft, I laughed" and more "What can I say, I laughed!"

I did what, now? It's Rickon that wasn't developed enough. Ramsay's arc could have used fleshing out, but the problem there was the same problem that comes through with Healy: just hitting the same beat over and over, to the point where it's not newsworthy anymore.

This is not Warden McNutt—this is a hologram recording. Remember, these reviews are written by and intended for those who have only seen up to this episode. So, in your comments:

Remember: not everyone has seen the next episode yet.
