All completely consistent with Tywin's pride making him unable to stomach fathering a dwarf, and resenting the fact that his beloved wife died giving birth to him.

No flashbacks? So we know about the Tower of Joy how?

I thought she was pretty good sparring with the Khal in the last episode.

So you're arguing that if Peter Dinklage couldn't act very well he'd still be doing scenes in the Eyrie?

Right, because we've never heard the word "fuck" on Game of Thrones before. Totally left of field that one!

Well they're in King's Landing now. So… yeah.

That would explain why it was random as hell. Some rando exec walks in, and he wants the arm stuff finished NOW, and by now he means BY THE END OF THIS VERY EPISODE WITH THE BEE LADY IN IT.

Don't remember anybody complaining about the grass sword being ditched? It's supposed to be an eternal curse and they've stuck fairly solidly to that.

I think it's more likely it's related to the grassy curse… the tip of the blade did crawl its way into the gem.

But… but he's so rich!

He's been getting worse lately, but "cannot understand something that is literally spelled out on the screen" is a new low.

It annoys me that they either have zero oversight for this kind of thing, or else they do but they didn't care enough to fix it.

Can't say this one really grabbed me. The newspaper gag was funny but apart from that it was kinda lifeless. Why did they make the crystal dimension so boring? Should've been a chance for the artists to go crazy, but for some reason they made it bland. And are we supposed to find TV quirkily charming despite his…

Like others have said… wonderfully animated, but the writing was pretty phoned-in.

I liked how the bottom half of each suit was a pair of shorts…

Shh. Oliver is the one who's paid to inform us of the deeper truths behind these things.

Sava never had a "touch". He consistently misses things which aren't even obscure, they're just the basic, obvious subtext of the episode. I think he strained his eyes so much trying to see further than anyone else that he made himself clinically blind. He thought Starchy's robber outfit was "hipster clothes" for…

Is that really the bigger question? Magic Man is just Man now. He's busy doing normie stuff. The narrative momentum was with Betty and whatever she did to Simon's crown, but the writers just nullified it.

Kind of agree. I did like the crown world and the idea of crown-bearers getting trapped within it. And the idea of Santa being a crown-bearer was pretty clever and funny. But apart from that, it's like you said… there wasn't much humour, and the story wasn't very interesting — nor, in all-too-familiar Adventure Time…

The kid wore it only once — Santa wore it at least once.
