"And the winner is…Springboob Squirepin"

Agreed. Within the show, it can be easily explained away by how Box and the cops immediately rushed on Naz once they found the knife (and also ignoring all other evidence that pointed to other suspects). As for the writers of the show though, there really isn't a reason for it to go unaddressed.

A different kind of ring, surely.

Can someone confirm for me: Elliot didn't put Ray in checkmate. At best it was a stalemate that Ray forfeited. Based on Elliot's last move before he gets up (which didn't look like it put Ray in check), it could not be mate.

Terrible purpose!

So the fact that parts of the OT bore me to tears is meaningless? Sure, the PT jumps deeper into the mud with its trade negotiations and terrible love story, but don't for a second pretend that plenty of the dialogue isn't exposition in the OT and when it's not it only alludes to a never-realized larger world and…

Two opinions on Star Wars and its fans:

The biggest problem for me with the Hobbit trilogy isn't so much that he split it into three movies (though two would have been plenty) but that he ended the second at the wrong moment. Rather than end before slaying Smaug, he should have stopped after Smaug is killed. That way, you get a nice book end to the second…

That he ends the "Our Children" ad by approving it — now holding the unexplained ax — is perfect.

Margaery seems to be scheming, and for good reason. In her scene with Tommen, when they discuss the High Sparrow, they never actually describe him. They use alternating phrases like "He's more…" "Yes, so…" or to that effect. The result makes it seem like Tommen is an idiot (we've seen that countless times) and trusts…

Having Tyrion quote Littlefinger (the line about making peace with our enemies) was clever. By doing it, it brought Littlefinger to Mereen when he otherwise would only be in Westeros.

I don't disagree with most of what you said. Atty Kim does wear a lot of deep/strong blues — this is HHM's color and their office is covered in deep/strong blues (it's in the railings, the walls, some logos, some pillars, even Howard's shirts sometimes, etc.). As for the orangey, clay brown, again that is the exact…

One note about the colors: while Jimmy is associated with colors generally (like the rainbow), Kim gets brown, and HHM gets blue.
