They better have a hell of a sneak attack planned if they want to get to her before Nurse Ratchett (or whatever her name is) does. Maybe they plan to strike at her Walk of Atonement, when she'll be out in the open?

I would assume there's plenty of oil lamps and whatnot around that they could have gotten hold of, but it must have been a hell of a lot of them to instantly make the whole building go up like that. The moment was so awesome though that I'm willing to give it a pass.

This season has given me more occasion to whoop and yell "FUCK YEAH!" at the screen than any other so far. This show has always been so careful to surround these positive moments with as much death and suffering as possible, but now they're happening with surprising regularity. And it doesn't even feel cheap, since

Seriously. So many optimistic plans were made this episode, I can only imagine how many of them will undoubtedly go horribly wrong. The retaking of Winterfell is the only one I'm not too worried about, as it's the natural direction of this season. Everything else… yikes.

I prefer Magic, personally

Ah, okay gotcha. I thought at first you were just shutting down potential discussion, but it seems my humor-detector misfired. Carry on!

I thought I made clear that I get why you feel the way you do, but your tone makes me wonder…eh, oh well.

The Old Man and the Sea is pretty overrated in my opinion (though I get why it's important), but For Whom the Bell Tolls has some of the most beautiful writing I've ever seen. I get why he's so divisive though, his style isn't for everyone.

Nolan definitely never seemed to care much about establishing Gotham as an interesting setting in itself, it's pretty much just a generic "big bad city" most of the time. I admire that he wanted to focus more on Big Themes, but TDK's surprisingly conservative political leanings become more troubling to me as time goes

TDK doesn't really hold up to my initial love for it as a 15-year-old fanboy (it CERTAINLY isn't perfect), but on a pure filmmaking level I think it still might be the most accomplished work Nolan's ever done. My problems with it have to do with story logic and some muddled plotting, but no one would probably even

I admire anyone taking an unpopular stance like this, but that first scene alone makes it worthy of masterpiece status IMO. Gives me chills every time.

I'm late to reply to this, but I guess I should. I agree that the show doesn't give us much of a chance to see this realization (if it even happened at all), but seeking out good/worthy leaders seems to be one of Davos' defining characteristics. I would think he'd be particularly desperate for it after everything that

Davos knows a good man when he sees one, and good men in power are in woefully short supply at the moment.

Hey, here's another comment on the nature of Internet comments that no one needs and contributes nothing!

Hadn't heard of it, but yes! Cloverfield-meets-Marvels! I think we're ready to pitch this, guys. @cappadocious

I admittedly haven't seen it, but Superman is still constantly swathed in Christ imagery right? It's hard to take the critique of him too seriously as he's being portrayed as a messianic figure.

Getting caught in the middle of that kind of pointless destruction would be as terrifying a premise as any monster movie, if not more so. And the "good guy" is one of the monsters, no less!
