My unopened, mint condition copy of The Talented Mr. Ripley is gonna be worth something someday. I just know it.

Mmmm … Manderly's Meat Pies.

Produced by Troy Duffy. Starring Patrick Duffy.

Good general advice. That's exactly who I had in mind.

^This is all that needs to be said. I don't care how shitty her parents are, no one deserves this. Fuck anyone who gets schadenfreude out of this story.

There's gotta be a middle ground between the Land of the Happy People and the Land of the Skullfucked Baby Corpses.

Yeah, that is something she said several seasons ago, but that doesn't mean there has been any kind of natural progression to that story. Even if you take the position that Shireen's sacrifice was inevitable, that doesn't mean it wasn't written and executed poorly, and a callback to the leeches in the preview doesn't…

Stannis has a much stronger resolve than his decision this episode shows. Especially in the books, he's renowned for being incredibly resilient and patient, letting his men starve while waiting out sieges. This felt like a kneejerk, last-resort move that really didn't jive with his trajectory this season, especially…

Except that they've gone out of their way to demonstrate that he has a soft spot for his daughter. The build to this scene was terrible:

Seriously, I couldn't have given less of a shit about fancy CGI Drogon after the Shireen sacrifice. I was totally numb to the rest of the episode. Less "Wow, I can't believe they did that!" than "Why in the living fuck would they do that?"

Oops-I-Crapped-My-Spandex

Perfect song for an extra long montage.

While I agree with you in principle, if I'm just sitting and listening by myself I'll commit all kinds of blasphemous acts to songs I've heard a million times - fast forward to the chorus, switch tracks mid-guitar solo, etc. Don't think I've made it all the way through "Layla" since high school.

I don't think "Carnival of Light" was ever released. I'm sure it's terrible, but has anybody actually heard it?

"Savoy Truffle" is fun, and "Glass Onion" is a cool tune ruined by terrible lyrics. Relatively, they're probably both skippable.

George Martin thought there was only enough great material for a single album and that a lot of the filler songs diluted it. He was probably right about the second part, but I don't think I could ever pick a full album's worth of tracks to cut.

Normally when people beep at me, I want to punch them, but "Drive My Car" is an exception. It actually cures road rage.

Truthfully, there are some valid picks and explanations ("Revolution 9" is pure Yoko-inspired garbage), but there's also some epic trolling going on here:

My biggest beef is "Let It Be," but when I find myself in times of nerd rage, Mother Mary comes to me.

Same with "Hey Jude."
