Do we even know for sure that Aragorn was born in Gondor?

As Euron said: "They just want to see severed heads, really."

Nah, there's no way they'd have him just dodge the dragon fire and get improbably saved at the last moment only to have him die anyway.

90% sure it's Bronn. There's a brief shot of him glancing at one of the only remaining non-roasted horses just after he bails from Qyburn's giant arrow weapon, so I think that's supposed to imply he hops on and rides over just in time to save Jaime.

As I see it, the problem with your argument - and similar ones made by Republicans - is that you're not giving any consideration to the ways that life can throw curveballs and how disastrous that can be for people without the financial means to cope with them. You're assuming that people living on the edge of poverty…

I'd like to play devil's advocate here and offer a small defense of the Gerald-is-a-dolphin episode: After all the absurdity, Garrison is, in the end, happy with who she is and decides to stick with it. It's definitely somewhat insensitive and may be based on ignorance of some aspects of SRS but I don't think it's…

That's ridiculous, yeah. That's more than just a detail as well, the subjective-time thing is like the basic conceit of the entire film. It's mentioned so many times in so many ways…

I remember a line in Vanilla Sky where the tech support guy says something like: "And so, in order to wake up, you have to jump off this building, in order to overcome your final fear of heights."

To be (somewhat) fair, Nolan does use some fairly intricate narrative structures, and they do require attention from the audience. But the idea that there is any ambiguity in his movies is ridiculous. Like you said, he explains literally everything that happens. ll you have to do is pay attention, there's nothing for…

The overarching plot is pretty straightforward as long as you understand the chronology, but there are still moments that don't quite make sense - the man behind Winky's, the assassination scene etc.

Re: No Country for Old Men - I think she died. There's a (recurring, I think) image of people moving their shoes away from pooling blood in the movie. Then when Chigurh leaves her house, he checks the soles of his shoes. I guess it's not 100% certain but it seems very likely.

I'm on the fence about it - I 100% definitely want to see the sensates, Amanita etc. meeting for the first time, but the idea of sitting through the planning stages of the heist when we already know it's gonna work out might be kind of a pain.

Everything after Wolfgang getting kidnapped was rushed as hell, it's true. But when I watched this I was riding the high from the first two-thirds so it didn't bother me that much. There were just so many good moments in this finale:

It was a bizarre choice to tack on that ending. Like, even if there was some studio interference, I feel the best way to do it would have been to end the season on:
a) Wolfgang being kidnapped.
b) Lito collapsing on the floor and saying: 'We have to go the London.'
c) The sensates meeting for the first time, Will saying:…

You're not alone. Giving it a C is ridiculously harsh, 2/3rds of the episode were incredible and the problems with the final third don't override that for me. There were just so many great moments for this to be considered a 'bad' episodes.

I had a similar reaction. Also, equally funny/awesome moment: Will's abrupt U-turn on Sun's revenge plan.

I will be devastated if this doesn't get a season 3 renewal.

Yeah, I think Bug mentioned it as a way to allow secret agencies to
disappear someone or to ward other agencies off. Would make more sense
if there was some kind of vestige to it that makes it explicitly clear
the person wasn't to be touched, but as it is it makes a kind of sense.

Agreed. I just finished the last two eps, and… I don't know if it's possible to be high on a TV show, but that's definitely what I feel like right now.
