You remember that part of Pirates of the Caribbean where the skeleton dudes just walk around on the ocean floor? Something like that, basically.

(I rather like the idea of using ‘beef’ like that in a new slang-y way, actually)

It was right in front of us all along!

Trailer guy 1: Wait, are you just cutting together a compilation of all the nudie bits in the film instead of making the actual trailer?

I don't mind them to the extent that they're used to create unusual situations or responses from the characters. We've been given less reason to care about them on the show, sure - I'm sure as much because of practical constraints as anything else, although how they even know to call him the Night King has never been

The problem is that they never lined up a concrete victory beyond "not overwhelmed by the undead." Before this episode, all we had to look forward to was a massive battle. Giving them a more definitive goal, however bullshit it is lore-wise, is still stronger from a strictly narrative sense.

The real problem is keeping them separate. Dragon tits or GTFO.

Problems or no, I wouldn't necessarily lay them at the feet of the director, although I can see why he'd be the one to speak up on the issue.

I was actually about to say, I just watched London like last week on Prime, got confused by that listing.

Well that'd be boring and dumb, so hopefully not.

Edge of Tomorrowland: Name. Rename. Repeat.

**Eon reverses a truck full of money outside Shirley Bassey's house**

edit: nevermind.

I mean, not really. The joke is that it does track very closely with how those kinds of encounters go, but there's so much else going on in that scene that Sam ignoring Gilly because she's Gilly is like, barely contributing to what happens, if at all.

Because big, strong names like Dickon are reserved for the thick, manly men who stand up tall and firm in the presence of Khaleesi.

I too am a full grown adult who is incapable of understanding the concept of dramatic irony!

"Ok remember guys, we're trying to capture an undead soldier, so non-lethal only."

Arya blackmails him into marrying her, he lives in fear of her every day of his life, dies of stress after like 4 months.

The sneaky thing about that scene is that Tarly was right - Dany isn't familiar with the Westeros. She's using what she learned in Mereen, sure, but that doesn't transfer easily. Making martyrs of a highly respected house could backfire on her spectacularly (no pun intended).
