I didn't see it that way at all. Sansa warned Jon against doing what he did before the Battle even started. Literally a few seconds before Jon charges, Tormund says "Don't". I think we all got that Jon wasn't thinking, but that doesn't mean he wasn't noble and to me, that shot of him against the charging army is one…

I noticed Malek was doing something different, but I didn't realize at all that he was channeling Slater in that scene. It was the first time, wasn't it?

Definitely! Fauxlivia was never a bad person. She was willing to do more bad things for her job than Olivia was, but she always wanted to do good and she was especially cute when she gave super-birth to little Henry and almost died.

So true. Another similarity is that the first season is arguably the least interesting one, but you still can't skip it because there's so much backstory and hints at stuff that will become important near the end of the show. Which is what's genius about both shows: Fringe mentioned the "end of days" (season 3/4), the…

It was really interesting how they took all the fan complaints about the show's main character, removed them in an alternate version of the character and then put that character in a villain-y position. Fauxlivia really was the better Olivia; she was more fun and a lot more colorful. But we also hated her, because her…

Dexter Season 1 (or 4, depending on your preference?)
Person Of Interest Season 3
Hannibal Season 2?

You're setting aside the sci-fi elements, but that episode also has the most powerful ("procedural") sci-fi moment of the show IMO: the marionette scene. I don't know who the actor is, but he's amazing as well as he's using the girl as a ballerina puppet and slowly realizes that he hasn't actually brought her back to…

One of them has one third of your name!

Actually, the High Sparrow Always argued that his death would have no meaning because someone could always take his place. "We are the many"… In either case, I think "all" of the Sparrows are dead now. We'll probably see the small people rise in other ways next season.

To me, it's because they seem to be wrapping up storylines and the "good guys" are finally getting some wins. Jon, Benjen, The Hound and others were "brought back to life"; Roose, Ramsay, the High Sparrow and Walder Frey are killed and Daenerys is finally getting people from Westeros on her side, while Jon is…

From the looks of the people in the Throne Room, they're all terrified of Cersei. But she has the army, the Mountain, and turns out to be crazy enough to blow up the city. Her reign won't last long, but I can accept a few weeks at least!

I also really, really appreciate that Jaime continued to mock him in this episode, and that Walder realized that absolutely nothing had changed after the Red Wedding - he was still considered a joke by other, greater houses. It was very important that he realized that before he died, haha!

Ever since Joffrey died (when Dean took over the role), Tommen seemed lost. You could tell from the start that he didn't want to be King, and he was way too kindhearted to make the tough decisions. It's not the life he expected, and in his own mind, he might think that the "war" between the Sparrows and his own family…

That image of the High Sparrow actually shocked me. To see a character we've watched for two years just disappearing in a split second (along with about six other named characters!) gave me shivers. Especially because he looked so terrified moments before, when you could hear the fire rising and coming for all of them.

Besides being gross, Walder´s death scene also mirrored the "Rat Cook" story Bran told at the end of season 3.

It's a ten minute soundtrack that was released earlier this week ("Light Of The Seven" - I get it now!). I heard it already and didn't expect it to actually be used on the show. Absolutely breathtaking.

I'm still pretty sure she was. We'll just never get to see it.

What I love about that song is that the chords are very similar to "Jessica's Theme" from Ramin Djawadi's score (2:48 in this video https://www.youtube.com/wat…. It's likely a coincidence, but it fits SO well.

RAM connects Greer to John's flashbacks from the end of season 1. Apparently, Decima was behind the attack on the people in China who had the Machine, and John (and Kara) were killed for that secret. I think the end of season 1 is where they got the general idea of a second Machine,

No, those episodes are awesome! I always love it when the show puts various parties together, all standing in each other´s way because they´re after the same thing. Peter Collier's phone call with Hersh is one of my personal most satisfying moments of the show.
