And yet, what purpose did Shireen’s death serve in the overall narrative of the story and the tone of the show if within 10-15 minutes of happening people had pretty much put it in the back of their minds to awe at CGI dragons being all dragony?

I kind of feel like they had to put her death in the middle of the episode. If the episode had ended with her dying I would have considered ending my viewership of GOT. That was an incredibly tough scene to watch and I needed something even a little more upbeat after that.

It’s the whole “mother instinct” thing. I had issues with it too. And you KNEW she was screwed when she said goodbye to her kids in the boat.

Rob, I respect your conviction... but

“a Targaryen alone in the world” is “a terrible thing.” and Jon Snow enters

My entire viewing group laughed really hard at that one.

Come here and sign the official petition to put Stannis on the Iron Throne simply because he has excellent grammar! Hearing him mutter ‘fewer’ was an episode highlight for me.

“I thought her gift was spinning really fast to get gold coins” ... RAINA THE HEDGEHOG.

I don't know...

I would pay ... deerly ... to see this.

I cry regularly because we didn't get a second season of Eccleston's Doctor.

I liked this show alot and I was kind of hoping the main character would eventually stop being the worst detective in the world.

Massive points for not pulling back from their own implications.

This show was slow to start, and a not great timeslot, which ultimately doomed it, but luckily due to the writers strike NBC ran all 13 episodes. It did take a little getting used to Kevin McKidds American accent (which he seems to have picked up by trying to do his best Ray Romano impression) but by the end this…

And there was so much potential to Karl Urban in this thing. Was a bit weak, but it could gain momentum with the dystopian nature of the world-building etc.

Almost Human suffered from poor marketing, a delayed premiere date and Fox airing the episodes out of order. The adventures of John and Dorian were only just beginning!

If he's trying to show how much scenery he's going to chew, he needs to spread his arms way wider.
