I really cannot begin to understand why Benioff and Weiss thought it was a good idea to get rid of Arianne, the one interesting Dorne character besides Doran, and then to keep in three separate Sand Snakes, and then to make all the Sandsnakes exactly the same as each other.

In retrospect: that was the wrong fucking choice. Remember how in the first book we had one chapter where Catelyn left Winterfell, and then in her next chapter she was in King's Landing, and then in her next chapter after that she captures Tyrion at the Crossroads? And then remember how there's like 8 chapters in the…

Yeah, exactly. It's not clear Littlefinger actually did anything.

So Littlefinger just heads over to the Sept and has a chat with the High Septon? How does that work?

The D is silent, Khaleesi.

We do get "The Wall" instead of "Castle Black"

I thought he was talking about Lancel.

God, why isn't Balon dead? So annoying.

I'd imagine it comes up with actresses (like Headey and Clarke) who have it in their contracts that they can't be made to expose their breasts.

I agree that the episode implied this, I just don't really understand how it was effected.

Er, perhaps you might read that again with your irony glasses on.

I'm not sure I understand what Littlefinger and Olenna had to do with Cersei's disaster. Lancel has been hanging with the High Sparrow all along. He showed nothing but contempt for Littlefinger when the two met last episode. So how does Littlefinger actually accomplish anything? Wouldn't this be something the High…

In the books. Not sure if that's been stated in the show.

In the show, we don't really have any sense what's been going on in the Riverlands since the Red Wedding. We certainly have no reason to think Walder Frey is Lord Paramount there.

I don't see any finality here. Don didn't "finally" do anything. He went back to his adopted life, just like he always does after these existential crises in California. And at some point, in a few years, he'll have another existential crisis and vanish somewhere. And he'll keep doing this over and over again.

Why would Sally need to financially support her brothers? Uncle William has money, and Don has money, and Henry Francis has money. They'll be fine.

In 2008, you had never seen a show that wasn't a genre supernatural show? How is that even possible?

He didn't actually find peace. He found another one of his bullshit epiphanies that gave him a great idea for an ad. That's what Don always does! It seemed perfectly in character to me.

January Jones is a very limited actress, but I've always thought she was well-cast as Betty and has generally done a good job with the part.

No, she was totally bluffing, and Peggy called her bluff, which is why Peggy stayed on the account.
