I thought it was brilliant how many times he said “I like beer” and “I like to drink” during his job interview.

Cleopatra lost money despite being the biggest hit of the year at the box office. That distinguishes it from movies that were massively profitable despite being super expensive.

Hill says they recognized that there’d be no way to easily justify the amount of narrative logic they’d have to “bend”

The way they treated Jon’s character this season was infuriating, or more like the inexistence of a character. The fact that he was somehow rationalizing Dany’s action was as much character assassination as they did to Jamie in the last episode.

So Jon can’t hand out with everyone else because the Unsullied hate him, but the Unsullied are leaving... He can’t just hide in some bushes for a weekend?

The other lords laughing at him was the only part of the episode that felt real.

Grey Worm had a city and two high-profile prisoners.

He ended up with no city and no high-profile prisoners.

The polar bear will disappear for a few seasons due to cgi budgetary concerns. He’ll come back randomly, get a polite nod from a distance for his efforts near the end and that will wrap up that whole plot point.

Do I get 10-1 if Arya kills Daenerys while wearing Jon’s face?

But nobody ever mentions the Russians,

Longest Day is one of those movies that (unintentionally, of course) works great on basic cable, because you can watch almost any part between commercial breaks and there’s a segment worth watching. The vignettes are generally well constructed and make sense in isolation. I think that probably makes it work less well…

“Henry Fonda is another general, the son of Teddy Roosevelt, whose pride won’t let him sit out the invasion even though he’s suffering from arthritis.”

No mention about the wonderful episode of Agatha Christie’s Poirot with the moustache-less Jughead? Yeah I know he quoted Doyle’s Sherlock but that felt like a teen version of Evil under the Blossoms.

I would have probably given the episode a B+ in that I thought it was just as entertaining and engaging as last week’s but there were a few things that didn’t work.

The developers deleted the aimbot and nerfed the damage and speed

Yeah - there was nothing to really support her deciding to indiscriminately kill. She’s always been ruthless, but she’s also always had a REASON for what she did - an internal logic she operated by. She killed people because committed crimes, or they refused to bow to her, or so on. She sometimes had to be talked out…

Alright, here’s the baffling bit for me.

Hey now. Not all women are crazy in Game of Thrones. Some of them are perfectly sane prostitutes.

Agreed - though I will note that at least one of Jaime’s hands was at her neck when they died. So, she did die with “the valonqar’s hands around her neck”, sorta. :)

I hear you, the show was terrible at times. However, I have a hard time being too mad at any project that put this piece of perfection into the universe.
