No, it would make the unintended consequences of a risky decision beneficial, not terrific. His move must be judged on the reality of the situation at the time it was made and any reasonable knowledge he could have had about what was coming next in the game—specifically that a swap and/or merge is imminent, not that…

Next week's swap is exactly why David using his idol on Jessica was stupid.

this fan fiction BS should never have been published sry. Margaery is a joke—not even in the top 10 of most interesting or complex women in Westeros, in the books or on the show.

couple things:

No one said it's definitive proof. But it's a topic that has been speculated about by book-readers since before the show and the first sign the show gives us—even if what they're doing is fucking with the fanboys—that there *could be* something to do the theories and you leave it unacknowledged………… because you're more…

Wait. So you're honestly not going to delve into the topic of whether or not Tyrion being able to tame the dragons quicker than Daenerys is a sign that he might actually be a Targaryen and/or one of the three dragon riders? Fuck the Kingsmoot. The Tyrion scene was the most important revelation of the episode.

I didn't say anything about warging

Have we collectively been ignorant to the idea that Jon might rise from his death as an undead, but because of Ghost have a self-awareness that allows him to continue to fight on the side of Westeros?

Y'all need a new writer for these reviews. Oliver clearly has no idea how to analyze, critique, appreciate or understand drag. Painful.

boring

You're so completely wrong about the third act. Not only does the "above ground" sequence satisfy the audience's thirst for hard copy evidence of a connection to the original Cloverfield, but it also flips everything that precedes it on its head.

I'm not convinced Tower Joe actually saw Ghost Patti. I got the impression that he simply witnessed Kevin talking to an imaginary friend.

Season 6 casting has started for a number of roles that are likely a Greyjoy and Sam's parents so we're probably seeing Sam and Gilly's journey south next season. I don't understand why they handled Aemon's death this season though.

I honestly can't believe anyone that has read the books would ever in their right mind be on board with merging Sansa with Jeyne/Fake Arya. Logistically, it is impossible. Sansa's whereabouts *have* to remain unknown in order to keep Cersei and others away from her, and it's absurd to pretend like her arrival in…

haven't they said, explicitly, that there is a major death this season that has not yet been covered in the books?

DITTO ON YOUR SLOAN COMMENT.

Of course we see Noah and his "walled community in Virginia" again.

First of all, Josh is going home next week when Jeff offers the tribe more rice in exchange for an immediate tribal council (this scenario will replace the typical double tribal council that usually happens). I suspect Jeremy will convince Alec to vote with him, Natalie and Julie otherwise that topic wouldn't have…

My biggest problem with this episode is the clarity it brings to how uncharacteristically BAD most of the castaways are at strategy.

The only redeeming element of this film is Hader's performance. Wiig is predictably Wiig-like, but Hader really shines. Everything else is zZz.
