I think the throwing of Sansa under the bus (or cart or whatever) did have a two fold purpose. It most assuredly implied that Shae was being coached, since she seemed to have some affection for Sansa and probably wouldn't have bothered to specifically implicate her of her own volition. It also really did not do the…

Totally missed that, too! Although, I think Mycroft would probably do well for himself at the Iron Bank.

There are very few straight up heroes in Westros, but in the context of her being a pirate princess, Yara Greyjoy is one of them. I loved the hardness in her line "My brother's dead" and of all the GoT failures that one got to me despite not seeing her grieve. I'd say the other straight up hero in Jon Snow, and it's…

I think that's actually plausible.

I said aloud while watching - Someone ought to check that pit where Miriam was to see if Abigail is in there. I think Hannibal has a code about who he kills and who he doesn't, and I think in his own way he considered Abigail family. We never saw her body, we didn't see him kill her and the way he said "I'm sorry I…

Isn't it the Hanukkah Armadillo?

So, am I to understand these guys got their dream gig on a decorating channel but dislike the gays? Okay.

Seriously, I was just going to say Son of a Neckbeard pitched something better than Hannibal Rising as a quip.

Congratulations to you and your wife!

I think by some measures, The Wizard of Oz might be the best, most influential film ever made. Unlike Citizen Kane, pretty much everyone on the planet has seen it and it's critically bullet proof. As much as there are many other Oz stories, Baum was nothing if not prolific, nothing is ever going to measure up to The…

I think it would have been really daring and drawn copious amounts of attention to the show if he had been portrayed as gay - and it probably would have only changed the show's tone slightly. They could have figured out another way to get scantily clad women in it.

We already have. It involves brunch.

I watched Dela's delightful and insightful "Whatcha Packin?" She seems very gracious, and even shows Michelle a sparkly sea green dress that she wanted to wear. But most importantly, he talks about Darienne and he "having a moment" or two but really downplays it. He basically said that Darienne recognized Dela as the…

I was thinking this is a bit of a reverse of the Chad & Sharon situation in Season 4. You've got a seasoned, polished older queen who knows her market, knows her strengths and plays to them while you've got a younger, more edgy queen that gradually learns and grows over the season. But in this case, I think Bianca got…

Something really was off with the edit this season. I noticed that with the puppet challenge and the queens were referencing stuff that hadn't been highlighted on the show but they all thought was hilarious.

I think Will and Margot are two people whom Hannibal attempted to turn into murderers, but they have connected over the fact that Hannibal failed. I'm sure Will has not turned cannibal and this is his and Jack's plan to make Hannibal believe Will has become "family". In this way, Margot is more interesting than Alana…

Earlier in the season, I saw Darienne train her anger toward Milk, when Milk was mostly oblivious. Ben De La seemed slightly more aware at Darienne's ire, but still seemed more confused by it than anything else. So, I do not understand the notion that Ben developed a mean streak somehow. I do think it's not naturally…

Did I detect a tiny Hannibal homage in Joffery's threat to serve Ser Pounce to Tommen, disguised as gourmet food?

As others have said, this feels very contrived. All of a sudden, Dela starts getting a negative edit to prep for this elimination but her looks are 1000x stronger than Darienne's and she still gets eliminated. She'll go into a pantheon of "gone too soons" with Pandora, Latrice and Detox, of whom I'm not a great fan…

What a topsy turvy slog. I mean topsy turvy because for once I was actually interested in Bran more than other characters.
