That's kinda a problem if Dany lays siege to King's Landing, and the gold can't get out and back to Bravos.

Did you watch the season that just concluded? For my money, it had more narrative momentum and consistency than any of the Netflix shows.

Holy shit what a brilliant pitch. Sign me up.

I thought it was because Courage…the Cowardly…Hot Dog?

Well yeah, but they've only been extinct for less than 160 years in this world. That's about two three medieval generations. By comparison, the dodo has been extinct for over 300 years in our world, and it's not a stretch too far to imagine that if somebody found and managed to hatch a dodo egg tomorrow we'd all

No, ironic would be rain on her wedding day (to Euron).

"Korra! Get me pictures of the Avatar by noon!"

Are you familiar with the novel? I agree with your concerns about Bilquis, but can't see any way they could have adapted her in a fuller capacity this season, given how minor she was in the book (she basically… fucked, ate, and died ).

Wouldn't a full-on pantheon of Gaimanverse TV shows be the best thing ever?

Probably one of the best Irish accents I've heard on telly.

Man, I cannot wait for Sam Black Crow.

In the novel Delirium of the Endless makes a brief cameo, which makes me wonder if they exist in this adaptation…

That's utterly brilliant, because the best action choreographers in the business—Jackie Chan, Yuen Woo Ping, et al—have talked about how they compose their fight scenes like music, paying careful attention to making it metronomic and syncopated at the right moments.

Shut the fuck up, Donny, you're out of your element (in the White House)!

It's ironic that Shadow's role in the story is so passive, since that's your typical female character for you—Browning said somewhere in an interview that those were the kind of roles she was usually resigned to playing, and that Ricky Whittle asked her for some advice on handling that.

Eh. Josh Radnor is a pretty good actor when given good material. It's not his fault the last five seasons of the show jumped the shark.
