Or an ingenius riff on the wrap up show celeb promo misspelling….

Great Howard Stern shout out in the Star Trek skit (Sal Delabate).

This should be an A. This episode was brilliant. Parker and Stone elegantly pulled together multi-season arcs to fully deliver on the promise of serial storytelling AND consider how much of this season was built on the election and it probably came as much of a shock to them as everyone else (minus Dave Chappelle).…

We posted this thought within a minute of each other. "My mind to your mind. My thoughts to your thoughts."

Its also weird that they wouldn't use this opportunity to flesh out more of a violent min to emphasize the change from william

One of the reasons I dismissed the two timeline theory was that the episodes were not paced like there were two timelines being presented. I understand that may have been intentional, but I would have thought some sort of indicator (a connective fade or something) would have been inserted to show some kind of…

So to the different timeline theorizers, what do you make of the scene in last week's episode where Dolores goes with William the town with Lawrence's family and tells the man trying to return her to her father's farm that her father is dead? Also, wasn't the father in a different role back then?

You thought the Cosby jabs were subtle?

No speculation about the cops waiting for Nucky at the end?

"In show time, it’s been nine episodes, but in actual calendar time, it’s been over a year."

I stopped reading after b-

1.Stop saying agency
2. She was fucking with his head. She specifically used language they used with each other. She didn't have to do it. She's "cruel and stupid"

you either play the game of thrones….

I really like this segment. I will say that Cersei (especially in the books) was insecure about her agency. Its the central motivator for her character, illustrated time and again by references to the ephemeral nature of her beauty, her elevation to queendom contingent on those that spurned her (Robert then Joffrey),…

This is a show about how good and bad might not have the comforting rigidity other fantasies sell. If anyone is looking to GOT for moral cues, they may be missing the point

Perhaps "rape is wrong" and "rape is hard to define" are not mutually exclusive sentiments. Sacrilege, I know

I don't see how the scene itself makes any moral judgment on the matter. The ambiguity of consent may be a "fact" but its not preaching.

Seems to me AV's article on the subject is the one condescending to the basest interpretation for the sake of shock. "Rape of Thrones", geez. It fits with Jaime's anger and may end up motivating his later actions even more convincingly than the text descriptions. Plus, its certainly more convincing to show Cersei more…
