It's the golden rule of genre fiction supporting characters: they go from annoying to not annoying once they get let in on the secret.

I think it's meant to establish a moral line in the sand for her…the Hound made her capable of killing, the House made her better at it and presented her with a boundary (not wanting to kill people she didn't think deserved it).

Maybe there is some forthcoming lesson about how awful Lady Crane really is and how it wasn't Budget Sansa at all?

She has gone from a ragemonster killer into someone who really doesn't want to kill people that aren't on her list. A girl has learned the Spider-Man lesson as she gains power.

His wolf is even named Shaggydog, which in the terms of "metaphorically named direwolves" basically advertises his ancillary-ness.

Vincent A-dog-Man?

To be fair, a lot of these jumps probably have to both hit a very specific pose AND stay within the camera frame.

Speaking of the preview, can we talk about how I shrieked at the sight of Krystal kickboxing?

The trick is that Felix is a flamboyant human who happens to be gay.

Well AV Club Comments, you finally did it…you killed her.

At this point I feel like the show is saying, over and over, "13 is gonna be a woman and you best deal with it now, haters."

If not proper vengeance, it's at least an admission by the show that they know what they did wrong last time.

Or maybe it turned the mind-wipe into something cathartic and a metaphor for grief instead of relentless misery porn?

"Felicity, I need to tell you something, but you can't tell anyone I told you this…"

Dave Filloni is using the hell out of that to create narrative tension, you can be sure. Ahsoka living or dying is probably the single greatest canon mystery "classic era" Star Wars has right now, especially since we know that the order still hasn't reset itself by the time of Force Awakens.

Ok, I'll bite. Between two billion years of internalizing Clara and the existence of Missy, the 13th Doctor is basically guaranteed to be a woman.

Just keep chipping away at that super diamond.

Also droid chopping.

The one "Chopper is a dick" moment I genuinely loved was his insistence on playing back the footage of Ezra shooting Kanan and Rex.

Any old fans of the X-Wing/TIE Fighter games excited to see the Interdictor ship survive into the New Canon?
