Am I the only one who was thinking, "I wonder if you can actually cremate a Targaryen?"

Presumably Wells is out there, if Thawne never killed him.

The one downside to being a pretty actor is that few people recognize when you're actually talented. Guess that's the balance from being highly employable and schtup-able.

Who'd have thought we'd like Eddie so much in the end? He's the Thea Queen of The Flash.

Oh man…think of the memory flashes from eating a cow.

By zombie movie logic, sure. But Major doesn't know he's in a zombie movie. Also, yeah, execution-style head wound when the guy is down won't exactly play well at the self-defense trial.

The one bummer-y part of recognizing beloved Wallace was that it made it pretty obvious he'd turn out to be the perp. Especially once they didn't use him as the "mislead" suspect, like they did with Hansen.

It'd be a reunion with David Anders!

If Thomas was a REAL Chekov/Uncle Vanya nerd, he would have only had Major fire two shots…

Hey, sometimes you need to stretch an arc to account for the lost "inner monologue" real estate.

I feel like she'll be lighting a torch in that tower before season's end…and having some agency re: getting her and Theon out.

You have to figure that Sansa and Theon will factor into that story as well.

I have a feeling that Loras' arc is going to be similar (bad shit, maiming, whathaveyou), but relocated to a King's Landing dungeon.

I would say affordances for storytelling economy?

You do God's work, my friend.

From a storytelling POV, I know exactly why they did this. Dany is suddenly alone and advisorless, and about to make some very poor decisions.

Because of course she did.

Our first great treat was the Hound/Brienne smackdown last year.

Oh God, putting it in this context just ruined the expression "Omar comin'" for me for all time.

Whereas I just pictured Harry Potter's Lee Jordan, costumed in purple and thick glasses, leaping into the air to take a paint bullet for Donald Glover.
