"Rickon?"
"It's Dickon, actually."
*Bronn's uproarious laughter*
"There are also those who know me as Billy Bones."

manhandles toasteroven, meaning & bagel falls out

d'oh!

Don't waste your breath?

but did Nora tell that physicist on the other side that Norway won the World Cup, though…

wasn't she the Sec Def? she did seem to do a very Palin-esque wink when she first showd up though, that had to be intentional…

"Looking traumatized, Billy Ray!"
"Feeling traumatized, Louis!"

I loved that they gave that little throw-away explanation about French submarine nuke guy, & it was as batshit as you'd expect…
Wonder if that nuclear detonation will come up again or if it was just a convenient way to have the airlines & taxi cabs shut down…
& why did he have to be, er… in "a state of nature"…

Had a feeling she was going to go through with it when she gave Kevin the lighter… Don't forget me, indeed.

I laughed out loud when Matt asked Laurie if she'd brought her whistle, snarky Matt is pretty good Matt!

Exactly, I cracked up when he concluded his little nostalgia for neat-o novelties spiel by going full Al - "The dawn of the Information fucking Age" or some such…

Maybe it was just the *cough cough* toadskins, but this ep seemed so chock full of Deadwood fanporn from Ian McShane… From talkin' bout cocksuckin' & rhapsodizing over the telegram, to subtler is-it-just-me moments like encouraging Shadow to skim a reasonable 5% ("I wouldn't trust a man who didn't try to steal a…

I'm not convinced either, just got a feeling… Whoever the Mark-Linn Baker group is, i'm betting they're weirdos up to weird stuff. I could see the question being asked by any of the other groups you list, hopefully as a hypothetical, but…
Idk, that's like the point of a question like that, from some psychological…

So, the guy who set himself on fire was a reject from the apparently even creepier than previously known institute that Nora is going to investigate?
Idk, but i was seriously considering the "would you kill a baby to cure cancer" question in my head, then Kevin Sr said "no" in exactly the same tone as my inner…

this show, geez! when the old credits opened up w the ultra-corny Perfect Strangers song blaring was all lolwtf, then later when the same song was instrumentally playing as i realized that the little girl was Lily, & that Nora is now a perfect stranger to her was all omfg you're crying…

After a rewatch the porch scene is a lot deeper… Like everybody is hanging on Kevins every word, like they're composing the "He Then Spaketh Unto Them" passages for The Book…
And considering Matts fixation on Jarden/Miracle & the upcoming 7th anniversary, changing the toast to "The right place at the right time"…

You may be right, idk… but hell, the giants way back at the battle of Castle Black were using huge bows that shot arrows like harpoons, seems like they have an idea about weaponry… eh, it's a really minor quibble, that battle was pretty sweet…

For reals, it feels like we haven't seen Sansa smile since, like, Joff broke off their engagement… & w hindsight, she was smiling a bit prematurely at that time…

There just wasn't time, I guess… You go to war with the sturdy tree trunks you have, not the sturdy tree trunks you might want or wish to have at a later time…

It's a minor quibble in an otherwise pretty asskickin battle scene but, when Jon's forces were all hemmed in by the Spartans, er, Boltons, & they were like "Ahh-ooo! Ahh-ooo!" tightening the circle of death, was anybody else yelling "You've got a giant! A giant, dammit, somebody get that giant a tree trunk or…
