Yeah, I don't know why people are implying it's a catch-22. Cersei could be found guilty of incest while simultaneously having some or all of her children (especially Tommen) be legitimate.

I mean, "that's the point". If you give yourself enough distance from the characters to laugh at how ridiculous they are, it's quite fun.

The multiple-cyborg storyline isn't out of left field— they've left like a dozen hints this season that Krieger's cyborgs would eventually play a role, and this episode was just another fake out because we all expected at least one fake Archer cyborg to show up by this point.

His bugged out eyes in the scene where Selina is shouting at the congresswoman are pure gold.

That has to do with lack of information, though. It allows the possibility that, for example, Brienne and Davos could be allies if Davos eventually explains the circumstances more.

It's entertaining how powerful perspective is in this show, that it makes you root for awful characters. Like I thought Yara and Theon's scenes were great and even touching, although objectively any Ironborn being successful would be the absolute pits for everyone else in Westeros. And I also felt just the barest…

The best shady reads are drawn from the truth. That's what makes it good shade.

An alien species? Are you kidding? I can easily see that level of disinterest and 'not my problem' happening in NYC.

So I was born in the 90s. I get what the poster above you is saying— there's absolutely nothing wrong with 'freshening up' older movies for new generations while keeping what ain't broken. Some movies do end up dated, because of early special effects, fashion, or specific cinematography styles that have since fallen…

You missed Theon! Apart from Sansa, it would probably most cathartic for Reek to do the deed.

The funniest part is that I don't think Richard intentionally meant it to be cruel— he was just making his usual clueless, inconvenient observations. Jonah and Richard have completely matching personalities, it was such a good idea pairing them up.

I actually think he's verging slightly into caricature territory. I hope they don't push the whole 'Kent talks like a robot' thing too much, he was ever so slightly more human when he was first introduced.

I had to pause and laugh for a good minute when I heard that one. The jokes on this show fly too fast, it's insane.

I think it's closer to the penultimate thing you said (and I hope it's not just a clumsy recast).

Awesome, awesome episode. I am so hyped for the remainder of the season!

To me he just looked relieved that the coronation process was completed successfully. And wasn't he the same priest who sassed Yara when they were sending off Daddy Greyjoy in his floating casket?

This episode Jaqen said something to the effect of "there will be a new face on the wall, one way or the other". Arya can't fuck up now, and I assume leaving at this point puts her on a list.

Really? I actually think it's kind of the opposite— he's getting an awful lot of work for being so forgettable. With his build he kinda started out as a bargain bin Chris Pratt and stayed there.

Glad to see Jean Teasdale's doing well.

Gay guy here. He wasn't on my radar at all until pictures started showing up of him with all that body hair. Mmmm.
