Dude… I've stopped asking. Time to just enjoy the rides in HBO's Medieval Land Fun-Time World.

This show has burned through all barriers of logic and consistency with such confidence that I'm actually starting to enjoy it again.

Cool

Should I watch this show?

Oh, so Tyrion's story about cousin Orson happily smashing the beetles isn't a metaphor for Martin or D&D.

Is it not a Scent of a Woman reference?

This was cool. I liked reading about the writer's personal connection to Lemonade and wanted more. My white-boy album is Strawberry Jam, which got me through a confusing, lonely time. Music is powerful and personal. Its stories are meant to be shared.

I was also really interested in this weird directing decision, so I did some research. I discovered two things:

This will fit nicely on my shelf right between Batman: The Animated Series and a loaded gun.

I believe they changed it shortly after.

Yes, they also speak to Ros about it, and she confirms that the prostitutes were in awe of his sexual prowess. Not a Tyrion plot, just D&D being D&D.

"Hold Up" is just hands-down amazing, but not enough credit is being given to the dozens and dozens of people responsible for this album. 72 people collaborated on Lemonade, not including the crew on the short film. This is not Beyonce's genius, this is collective genius.

Imagine if Justified had been on HBO. Imagine the insults Raylan would have traded with every single character.

Eastbound & Down casts a long shadow. Hopefully, this can stand on its own.

I'm so much more vicious when I'm watching Veep than I am when I'm watching Silicon Valley.

No, I recently rewatched Seasons 1-4. In Season 3, they made a concerted effort to add more humor. It's just some bits are more successful than others.

That whole scene was just… boring.

From these scenes, it seems like they're trying to forgo any power struggle by suggesting the "people" didn't like Doran. Since we haven't met any other Dornish Houses, I'm going to bet that there won't be a complicated political fight for the wheelie-throne.

speaking of dogs…. where did the hounds go during that fight? Did I miss them get killed?

Well, in the books, the Frey's are the worst people ever.
