Her _secret_ powers are still hidden. Her being a badass fighter, I wouldn't quite call that a secret power. And she's at Winterfell with what's left of her family, where else is she gonna get her guard down?

Makes no sense as a TV show though. How is Jamie drowning(??) better than Jamie getting roasted by a dragon (as he was attacking its mother). Only reason to knock him into the water is if he has to survive.

They're just spamming so many shows now, we're starting to see some that never would have been green-lit by a more discriminating outfit.

HBO are the kings of this game, and it's not from just shrugging and saying 'eh we'll win some awards, that's enough'

This episode I watched speechless, and I don't mean the TV show!

That TV content rating spoiler is funny; I never really pay attention to those (maybe that's good). Not sure how that means it's great writing though?

Oh, that's great. One of my favorite Seinfeld moments. This episode of BCS came together beautifully, but that Seinfeld episode was on another level.

Yeah generally I'd agree. That song's about as poppy as Wu Tang ever got, though.

He's so happy he has that tape he listens to it on repeat all day! No, seriously, you're right. Looking back at the scene in hindsight, it's clearly Chuck putting Ernesto in position to hear that tape. And of course the tape is at JUST the right part

Was the play button already pressed though? Or did it get pressed when Ernesto had it turned upside down, pushing the batteries in?

Yeah, that's way too long to be fumbling around in plain sight. This method is super-quick, much less risk.

And ultimately, he wasn't that effective. Maybe a once good assassin who's now washed up.

That's fine to say you can't be racist against your own race. I'm just saying that someone being racist has nothing to do with grammar. Racism is a feeling one person has towards another person, it exists irrespective of grammar. Grammar is just the words we use to describe the concepts. If you somehow wiped my…

Exactly. It's a personal belief. Doesn't have anything to do with grammar.

I didn't know racism was a grammatical construct.

I've been waiting for Knepper's role to expand all season. We still may hear more from him in the final two, but yes, I like your idea of him being the villain of Season 7.

Oh man, Virgil just barges in and starts killing people. That would be a dream come true.

This episode wouldn't play very well without having seen the rest of this season's episodes. It's the late going in a multi-faceted, extremely serialized plot. You wouldn't know what was going on. This season has been very good though.

I don't think that's the kind of crisis she was talking about. A 'crisis' in the context of that quote is a home break-in, a man with a gun taking hostages, etc. You can't train somebody to not be wrecked when they suddenly lose all contact with their young daughter.

A German greeting would be lazy writing.
