Well, there's also the received wisdom that GoT *subverts* the tropes, rather than presenting them as expected.

Oh wow, Franklin Mills…when I first moved down here from NY, I lived briefly in Bensalem, and Franklin Mills was the first place I ever charged groceries on a credit card! You young'uns probably think that's been the status quo forever, but I remember when Carrefour, the Euro supermarket, came to Franklin Mills and…

My feeling was that he asked her if she was a cop because he knew her…in a different context.

Younger than that. In the original series Bobby makes a comment about how she should never have left school to marry Leo. I got the impression they were contemporaries, so I assumed Shelly was 18 at most in first season.

Mine too. She simply cannot understand why my husband and I, married for 25 years, have separate checking accounts. The real reason simply being that neither of us closed our single accounts when we got married. We still share all the money, pay bills and mortgage from both checkbooks, but it just freaks her out to…

Ben has said outright this season, to Jerry, that he is a married man. (Edit: whoops, I think Ben was saying that *Beverly* was married, not that he himself was.)

She's obviously working on the diner's accounts, muttering to herself, "A Jennings always pays her debts."

Dare I dream that big? :-D

Huh. Funny. I'm surprised I've never run into one anywhere. We have family in central PA (Chambersburg) and in the Baltimore suburbs.

I'm in PA — Philly 'burbs — and have never heard of BonTon.

To be fair, they mostly only paid lip service to that in the past. I'm still ticked off that we didn't get the full rainbow of the Braavosi or Tyroshi in earlier seasons. Daario needed that forked, blue beard!

It's really Night's (rather than Night) King. Or is that only in the book? I can't remember if they're calling him that in the show, too.

Sweetrobin does not deserve that tiny goddess!

I don't think Tyrion is going to turn out to be a kinslayer, actually.

Well, Katie and her partner were staking him out — at Hardy's request, I believe — and the partner went to get some food (as evidenced by her telling him on the phone what sandwich she wanted). He got tired of being watched and went out to hassle her, and it was *very* obvious that they knew one another, and that they…

Am I reading too much into their scenes, or…was Katie maybe the person who accused the rapist and got him convicted?

MARK and Beth. Joe is Ellie's (ex) husband. And yes, Chloe is their daughter.

And Peep Show!

Not great, Bob!

"I…I don't know that. AAAAAAaaaaaaaagggghhhhh….."
