That part isn't my idea, it's a theory that's been floating around for some time now. I'm not particularly attached to it either way, it's just that it's the closest thing to explain the Waif that works for me.

yeah, but she jumped from "slight jealousy" to "murder obsession" awfully quick

in my defense: sleep deprivation

I guess I'm willing to be way more charitable on the "No One" thing than most people are. I admit that the entire two season arc is way less exciting than it should have been, but "no one" isn't bullshit - the whole idea as I've come to see it during this episode was that Arya wasn't particularly Arya Stark anymore by…

You're not insane! I couldn't remember where I knew the face from, but it was so familiar it drove me nuts. That lady was definitely a deadringer for Timmy.

ooh, I noticed it was pretty much the same joke butnot that it was the same actress too

I always loved the Bridget Everett parts of the show, 70% on their own merit and 30% because I love to drink in the tears of commenters hating on it every single year (this year's song was fun, but no Put Your Dick Away, honestly). But honestly the Snake Doctor sketch kind of made me feel like most people seem to feel…

yeah, maybe it's the difference between show/book fandom, but everytime Cleganebowl comes up, my only reaction is "…okay?"

It was a bit under 50 minutes, I think

The trailer absolutely seemed to suggest that, but it suggested the same thing two episodes ago. I can't believe they'd say no to two opportunities for bloodshed in a row, tho

Oh, right, I didn't understand that you meant just this episode. Maybe they did it because outside of King's Landing, Braavos and Riverrun we didn't actually get many big set locations this episode? We spent a lot of time with Sandor in the middle of nowhere and Snow's party jumping along the northern locations that…

It kind of has a "The Phantom removes his mask to reveal slight rosacea, everybody acts terrified" vibe to it

I wonder how ugly John Clare is supposed to be in-universe. He looks recognizably like Rory Kinnear and the reaction from his son seemed a bit over the top from me. It was beautifully acted, though.

Lily is going to have to kill somebody important sooner or later. For all her talk about revenge and supremacy, seeing her show mercy to both Dorian and Victor this episode is gonna cost her some street cred.

I'm sure Dracula genuinely cares about Vanessa. Lucifer did too, for what it's worth. I'm just not sure it matters.

Hecate was so hilariously terrible the entire time I ended up liking her.

The thing is, the parts that sound batshit insane to outsiders usually make perfect sense within the context of the universe. Season 1 I was mostly in for Eva Green, season 2 was fucking phenomenal and while I'm not sure about certain season 3 developments, it has already delivered one of the best episodes of anything…

Yeah, I think this is weird to people because from what we've seen the Ironborn invasion was like five guys standing around Winterfell. The show needs to focus on certain characters, so we don't see all that's happening and just how ravaged the country is at this point, since most of the actual war happens offscreen

There's been a decent amount of scenes in Mereen, what with Tyrion, Varys, Missandei and Grey Worm

How the hell is what she did scolding them?
