This writer rarely cares about what happened on screen, so much as the ability to eyeroll to an off-kilter interpretation of it.

"Fuck you, Dad, I've been freezing my dick off because you hate me. This is the first decent meal I've had in years and may be the last. Fuck yes, I'm having another roll, and fuck no, I'm not fat enough to deal with the cold north of the Wall."
