Rewatch the episode; he wasn't spoiling because he could, the other men at the agency (and some of their friends) were pestering him for spoilers due to him having an "in" with ABC to allow him access to spoilers. Which was the writers basically acknowledging the show's popularity as even grown manly men were…

Sansa's handling Arya best she can. It's probably why Littlefinger is clearly baiting Arya to do something first, so Sansa can eliminate her with relative clean conscience. He probably sees Arya's sociopathy as something to be used against her, to discredit her. And from that, use her death to permanently schism Sansa…

Arya is clearly out of the loop/going into defensive little sister mode.
It would have worked better if Sansa had stated she's letting the other nobles talk shit about John, because the alternative would be to go Joffrey on their butts and John would never tolerate it. Sansa's in a tight spot in that John is a much…

Bran is acting all autistic and doesn't even know how to use his power properly due to his getting his teacher killed.

The Qyburn stuff was actually fully spelled out.
Cersei basically is having him go about contacting pretty much EVERY major mercenary/sellsword company out there (including the Second Sons) for the expressed purpose of getting them to fight for her side.

Lost in Space was crappy.
Mainly because it tried to be grim and gritty, at the expense of the subject matter. Granted, a campy Lost In Space would have been just as bad but the movie version was too grim and gritty to work.

No way Cersei dies this season. Most likely Euron double crosses her to take Kings Landing and Cersei has to go begging to Sansa for sanctuary and survives only due to Arya realizing that having Cersei live the rest of her life a deposed and penniless pauper would be a crueler fate than just being killed.

I kind of want Qyburn to live. His only crime is basically wanting to elevate science beyond the medieval level it currently is stuck at.

The irony is that for Littlefinger to truly live to fight another day, to eventually get to the Iron Throne with all rivals slain, it makes little sense for him to continue to hang around Winterfell. Everyone there either hates or mistrusts him and while Sansa hasn't completely severed ties with him, any and all…

TRL was the shark jump moment for MTV for an entire generation; up until 1997 they at least gave service to rock and roll and other genres (electronica) but with TRL, it was basically the moment when MTV told their longtime audience to die in the fire. If you were not into teenybopper pop, boy band, Nu-Metal, or rap,…

Yes. Though the whole music video genre has now become vanity projects for musicians since they can only be seen on the internet.

"Just Say Julie" could never be made today. Imagine if 4chan's /pol/ had a 30 minute block of programming and you had "Just Say Julie". The stuff Julie Brown got away with on said show was shocking, given the time the show aired and the things she said about pretty much every major pop star of the late 80s/early 90s.

Fun fact: MTV ALREADY DID THAT, only to KILL that format to create TRL.

The actors (most notably Grillo and Jonas) basically have other projects they wanted to do and Kingdom was basically a prestige side project they were doing on the side, that largely lasted as long as it did due to their desire to do more artsy type work.

Sort of.

Sandler would have sucked in IB; Roth is low key enough that his character stood on his own whereas Sandler, as a big movie star, would have reduced such a critical role as stunt casting of the worse kind (IE people would have come away from IG joking about Sandler playing himself).

It's a generic reboot.

In the book, Cersei orders the bastards killed but the TV show whitewashed Cersei by having Joffrey be responsible and having Cersei privately express horror that Joffrey would do such a thing, but ultimately accepting it as a necessary evil.

I think Joffrey ordering Ned killed was 100% Joffrey. Basically him openly defying his mom, to show her "who was in charge". On some level, Joffrey wanted to show Cersei he and he alone would be the one running things and I would not be shocked if he explicitly ordered Ned killed BECAUSE Cersei was strong arming him…

Cersei fed Joffrey's sociopathic nature and there were IIRC a scene where Joffrey (through his relationship with Sansa) did sort of show signs of growing a conscience (for what it was worth) only for Cersei to stamp it out.
