Hey, are we still meeting up in the "What's On" comments next Tuesday night, to bury and to praise POI?

I'm assuming Harold and John both die—to come full circle with what Harold said in the pilot, that in the end they would both wind up dead.

Yes. I'm assuming the all chaos they showed in the preview for next week is Samaritan's violent death throes.

Aw. I've been re-watching early episodes, and noticing the show's generous use of Reese's and Fusco's body armor. So when the agent shot Fusco in the chest but not in the head, that's when I knew Lionel would survive another Tuesday night.

I was surprised at how hard The Machine's imminent death hit me at the end of the episode. What a show, that could turn a software program into a beloved and heroic character.

I feel like Greer should be CBS's Analog Interface. He's the perfect avatar for a network that would kill Limitless and POI at the same time.

It was so like Greer to ruin his death for us by dying willingly. He manages to be insufferable even when expiring.

The Machine's?

Good analysis. I really hope to see this in the show.

After Jaime's earlier speech to the Freys about only making threats that you're prepared to carry out, I fully believed he would have catapulted Edmure's son just to make a point. And while Jaime did end the siege without much bloodshed, the lines he's willing to cross make me wonder what principles, if any, Jaime has

The Vale army kept out of the civil war, so it likely has more fresh, well-fed men than any other army in Westeros. As well as the most breast-fed men in Westeros.

YES. It should have!

Sure. Releases pent-up gas.

She was murdered with yoga.

Arya came to them seeking vengeance and full of hate. She was on her way to becoming someone who takes pleasure in killing. J'aqen forced her to move past her vengeance and make moral decisions about when killing is right or wrong, and about what kind of killing is right and wrong.

While we're listing villains, can I just confess that I'm looking forward to Pycelle getting his just deserts? Granted he's small-time next to many of the show's villains, but he's such a weaselly little toad. I really enjoyed his time in the dungeon under Tyrion.

I feel like Dany will be better able to control the red clergy than Cersei was with the sparrows. I mean, Dany has dragons, is literally fire-proof and popular with her people. Dany doesn't live in R'hllor's World; R'hllor lives in Dany's.

Nope, the whole Arya v. Waif plot of this week and last was clunky, though in the moment I was caught up in the suspense of the chase. I'm easy that way.

Yep. Plenty of hate-suitable people still available. And don't forget the Freys! Stupid, ugly, vicious and craven, the Freys hit all the hating sweet spots.
