It's from way back in season 1: after Ned was arrested, Cersei made Sansa write this letter to Winterfell, begging Robb and Catelyn to swear fealty to Joffrey. Robb and Catelyn were not fooled, but who knows what these Northerners would think without the context.

Oh gosh

Littlefinger's speech basically just described what it's like to live with anxiety. Dude must be stressed 24/7.

I was really hoping for Gendry to row up to Theon at the end of this episode and be like, "Need a lift?"

Hmm, duly noted. I have noticed that the main story is much more gripping than the rest of the game. Maybe I'll just avoid side quests for now and see how that goes!

I think BOTW really succeeds in the exploration department because it allows you to climb any surface, and jump off of any height. Playing other open-world games now feels so frustrating, because when I hit a wall I have to find a way around. Or when I climb up something, I have to find my way back down. It was so…

I've been playing through Horizon: Zero Dawn over the past couple weeks, and I feel a bit disappointed by it. It's a beautiful world, the story is great, and the machine battles feel suitably epic, but—for me—the game just isn't *fun.* Which is a shame because on every other level, the game is excellent, but most of…

This is a real bummer. Sense8 is so much fun and so genuinely heartfelt, but it has to be insanely expensive to shoot. I really hope they offer some way for the show to wrap up its narrative though.

I loved the puzzle-box format of the show, and was really hoping more streaming-service shows would do something similar. There was something really satisfying about watching all the storylines come together toward the end of the season, which I think would be even more satisfying in a drama/mystery show.

Amanita also mentions a company called Abrassax at some point (I think in this episode), which is the name of the dysfunctional space family in Jupiter Ascending.

I think the self-immolation man and Nora both answered incorrectly. I think the answer they were looking for (and possibly the only honest answer) was: "I don't know."

I'm so upset that this is the show's final season. They really hit a stride last year, and this year has been goddamn amazing as well. Nothing else like it on TV.

I'm not sure he could have. But that's my point: he's not the savior he believes he is.

Seems like everyone here has read the book, but I haven't and… I'm just a bit confused. This episode was all over the place, and has almost no plot whatsoever. Like, the only idea I have about where this show could be headed is like "old gods vs. new gods" but that conflict only shows up in the last 5 minutes of the…

Yeah, but I think his failure in that moment serves in part to highlight the fact that he's a terrible savior. Kind of the opposite of a savior, actually.

He destroys everything he touches. He thinks of himself as the savior of mankind, but he does the opposite of save people. If Kevin Jr. is a Christ figure, Kevin Sr. is most certainly an anti-Christ figure.

I clapped.

I thought this episode was really interesting in how it examines the narcissism of white savior narratives. Kevin Sr. thinks of himself as the savior of all mankind, but does more harm than good when he's actually confronted with opportunities to help.

John Goodman was my first celebrity crush. He was so adorable on Roseanne! James Gandolfini was also, like, 70% of why I loved The Sopranos.
