Wow, that was the most exposition-heavy episode since season 1. Half of the scenes referenced jolly old Robert. At the same time, things are moving quickly. Jon and Dany are already gonna meet face-to-face? Coolio.

I give it til 2019.

Well, I'm excited.

With a heaving helping of Joss Whedon quips. That makes a movie good, right?

Yes. Slow motion is like a close-up: a powerful tool that should be used sparingly for dramatic emphasis. The more you use it, the less power it has.

The first action shot we see is Iron Fist punching a business lady in the kidney.

Oy, so few fucks?

I really only became disappointed when I started watching Person of Interest afterwards. That's a show that traffics in arguably even higher scifi questions and allows Nolan to do his thing, but it's so much more emotional. My hope is that they had a lot of problems constructing and shooting the first season, with a…

I'm working my way through B. I unfortunately ran through A, because I had no idea the sidequests would all disappear after the coastline mission. So I'm not totally sure what's unique to B and what is held over from A, and it's presumably giving me a bigger load to work through than intended. Which kinda sucks,…

I think they even shut down his corny jokes. Then there's the great moment when he asks how old Fran is, and everyone walks away in disgust. If a game is going to have a naive, awkward teenager, it's nice that the other characters treat him accordingly.

Even with all of the highly praised exclusives it has, FFXII's remaster has been the most enticing reason yet for me to get a PS4. I was really jonesing to play it last weekend. Boy howdy, I like that game.

That one, yes. And I haven't returned to see those additional details. Like I said, everything.

Lots of B&W discussion this week. It really is a top notch epilogue to a top notch game.

Whaa? Balthier's supposed to be 22? Wasn't he a Judge before becoming a sky pirate? That's way too young to have a whole past life and new notoriety.

I remember being let down that there were only two zones, but you're right: by the time I had attacked most of the forts, done the big quests and finished the story, I was satisfied. There would have been no point to dragging things out further. I was so satisfied I couldn't bother with the Bright Lord DLC. One of…

Almost no one wears helmets, either. They want us to see their faces, and their flowing hair, whenever possible. It's a TV show with a bunch of characters emoting.

Indeed.

If you know who Ed Sheeran is and what he looks like.

But some people are just shit at dying.

"You're getting old, Clegane."
"He's not." *hangs murderer*
