Agreed. Grated cheese will do in a pinch, though.

In short: Chips Hardy is a poutine.

An excellent point.

Time-traveling Barry doesn't possess the same memories as the preexisting Flash in that timeline, which means the previous iteration of "Barry" was essentially deleted from existence (his consciousness, anyway). Way to go Barry, you've killed your alternative universe self…

Why the heck didn't Barry just tell everyone that he changed the timeline from the get-go instead of beating around the bush? All he managed to do was piss everyone off with his ill-informed questions/advice.

"Arya, if you're going to do an homage to Titus Andronicus, let the vile old fucker eat first…."

I absolutely loved this episode, but how the hell did Varys end up on Danaerys' flagship after appearing in Dorne only a few scenes earlier? Did he find Littlefinger's teleporter hidden away in Dorne somewhere?

Krypto would be a hell of a lot easier to incorporate than some other super-powered animal companions in the DC-verse:

Next to the flayed and crucified corpses of his enemies.

The original track for that montage was Hearts on Fire. The linked video uses the soundtrack for the Rocky/Drago fight instead (which is, admittedly, terrible).

Fuckin' hoopleheads, the lot of 'em.

That's an excellent point. What would be stopping someone on Game of Thrones' writing staff from going to Vegas and making a killing?

My money's on a West-Coast Jive.

Just you wait, the final scene of the entire series will be Arya stick-fighting a White Walker while blindfolded.*

Handy, that.

I agree with you about the campy scoring. The moment Tommen made his big announcement was particularly egregious in this regard. The sinister-sounding blare of big brass instruments was far from subtle.

Nothing's off the table in terms of book-reader predictions if it takes that damn long to pay off a plot point.

Fair point, it just feels like an unbelievably convoluted way to have Arya pick up new skills. Couldn't she have learned how to fight from the Hound while she was traveling with him? This trip to Braavos just feels like an unnecessary detour within the scope of the overall story.

The real question is: what was the point of all the endless montages if Arya was just going to renounce the path of the assassin the whole time? It doesn't reveal anything we didn't already know about her character. Big surprise, she isn't a fan of killing people who haven't wronged her in some way.

It would be pretty anti-climactic considering the endless montages we've been forced to sit through, though.
