RIP Moira. One of the first signs I knew this show would be good is when it was revealed in the pilot that you were the one who had Oliver kidnapped and interrogated. You were a classy, cutthroat badass to the end. Long live the Queen.

I mean, Agents of SHIELD has improved from a D to a C in my books. Don't begrudge them the little progress they have made.

I wonder if Norma will get pregnant after sleeping with CollegeDropoutRanchHandWhoBecameALawyer. I can just imagine season 3 if she keeps it: Norman watching her breast-feed.

This is the weirdest use of Sally as a non-character, especially since she isn't just Danny's girlfriend but also Peter's sister. Loved her mistaking the rabbi for a wizard though.

After this week's Game of Thrones, not at all.

C for stupid SHIELD agents and complete under-use of the Acker
A for that one scene with May and her mom

Of course this show had to pull an Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. with Amy Acker's guest appearance.

I'm tempted to check this out because the creator worked on Happy Endings. I also sadly just realized that Eliza Coupe probably would have been perfect for this show.

First world problems, amirite?

I think I'm going to stick with it through the end of this season before dropping it. Mostly because if I ever decide to take it up again (assuming people tell me it gets better), I'll want to know exactly where I was.

GUYS I SOLVED IT. Cersei and Jaime have a safe word that she can use. They engage in these kind of rape scenarios all the time, it's part of their arrangement. Since Cersei didn't use the safe word, she was really just acting and playing along with the fantasy. Right? Jaime is still good! RIGHT?

This was that rare, rare episode that actually made a decent use of Snow White. With like, character development and stuff. Weird.

Not sure if it was mentioned anywhere, but Tyrion also had a great line in this episode about how Joffrey's was the rare King's Landing murder that Cersei WASN'T involved with.

They've said that they plan on 7 seasons, but HBO bosses have also said that 8 seasons is possible, which would mean season 6 is TWOW and season 7 is based on ADOS. But if they cut down all of AFFC and ADWD into one season, it would be epic from cutting all the crap out.

The theory is that Mad King Aerys raped their mother, Joanna Lannister, on her wedding night. Meaning Tywin is not Cersei or Jaime's father.

THEY DARE NOT CUT SER POUNCE FROM THE SHOW

BOOK SPOILERS I GUESS

Really? That would be great. But I read that Season 5 will "give them nightmares" because there is no clear climax in the middle of AFFC or ADWD, unlike ASOS which had the Red Wedding.

I don't know, show Davos seems too outspoken to me. Book Davos seems much more humble.

I read a great article about the economics of Westeros. The highlights include a Malthusian crisis precipitated by the cyclical seasons, and how LF and/or Varys could use the massive inflation caused by a sovereign debt crisis to manipulate currencies.
