It was spoken in jest.

I feel the same. And unfortunately there seems to be more misery coming (I have not read the books, only heard vague hints about future events). The show is handsomely staged and I don't mind some dark storytelling, but it's so unrelentingly grim and nasty most of the time I have a hard time enjoying it.

I kind of feel that way too after this episode. It's such a grim world with very little good going on anywhere in it that it's damn depressing. I don't mind dark storytelling, but there has to be some semblance of hope to be really enjoyable.

This end of this episode makes Hannibal seem like a sitcom by comparison.

Uh, I'd also like to express my fondness for Tokyo Drift.

Another fine and disturbing and beautiful episode.

I was feeling the same way during this episode, especially with that dreamlike incidental music and ambient sounds behind every scene. I really look forward to this more than Game of Thrones in a lot of ways.

It's good, because I really didn't like his character at all in the first episode. But now he's terrific.

Watch your fingers.

Yes, exactly. That's one of this show's main strengths. It needs to be renewed or picked up on cable NOW!

I don't think you're crazy and surely you can realize the sarcasm. But I still don't agree with your opinions on this particular show. And that is my opinion. I've moved on all right.

I think this show is just not for me. You guys must be smoking White Pine Bay doobies or something, because Vera Farmiga is terrible in this and so far from Emmy it's not funny. Freddie Highmore didn't let me down this week though, with another hilarious "angry" scene that had me in stitches. I guess there's something…

I just thought they'd established him as being so emotionally distant or incapable that a romance seemed very unlikely. But in recent episodes the character has less of the "Rain Man" personality, so I'm open to your ideas.

I don't think he dropped it. He didn't pick it up after the white walker disintegrated.

You need normalization, mate.

Gendry probably saw Basic Instinct growing up in Flea Bottom.

White Walker's dinnertime: "GET IN MY BELLY!"

Certainly nicer than those (sorry) fake looking CG cities and castles lately. Too much bloom and soft focus. They don't look convincing (to me).

Manscaping must be popular in Flea Bottom.

And the treacherous Walter Donovan.
