That movie was INTENSE, and both Lee and Kelly were outstanding in it.

The last time they saw each other was seven years previously, and they didn't talk to each other. So — yeah.

It's not that important whether Cersei knows it or not, but it's very important that Jaime knows it.

Hey, that was funny, Myles. You'd better watch it!

Yeah, it's not like the show was incredibly popular in the first place in large part because it imbued its fantasy world with gritty realism. Is it?

I think she knows, but she needed to placate Dany at that moment.

I don't know. If I were King in the North and I knew a horde of deadly zombies was about to destroy everything, I think I would have prepared my explanation of the situation pretty damn carefully. Jon is too proud for that, apparently. People are supposed to do what he asks of them because he's…you know…a good guy.

The inconsistency of the way news spreads in this universe has been this show's Achilles heel from the first season.

To be fair, Jon didn't exactly present his case very clearly. Danaerys has obviously never even heard of the white walkers, but he answers her question "What is this army of the dead?" with an incoherent rant about "The Night King."

The mail ravens have REALLY upped their game.

But no one in any country has ever built a massive freaking vampire wall. The entire universe of Game of Thrones is aware of the Wall and the Night's Watch — the white walkers just can't seem THAT fantastical to them.

I've got my fingers crossed that that was a bit of forced Ep 1 exposition for possible newbies to the show.

Turning Nikki into a badass mastermind, and introducing the deus ex machina of Wrench — these are things that don't just annoy me but make me a little worried about Hawley's work going forward. It's never a good thing for a tv show when you can feel that writers have become enthralled by one of their characters.

I never thought Leland was "let off the hook" for what he did. If he "invited Bob in," then Laura did too. I think Bob is more the manifestation of the evil every human is capable of. We are all born into flawed circumstances, some more flawed than others. Every human is therefore both innocent victim and evil…

Those sitcoms didn't have seasonal arcs.

I was shocked that he had unused apps on his phone. That's not the Gilfoyle I know.

What bothers me about the circular plot is that the resets increasingly rely on Richard being suddenly petty. Not evil, or bad, or mistaken, just unrealistically petty. It's made his character impossible to root for, for me. And that makes the show kind of boring.

It's too theoretical and abstract this season. The theme seems to be detached from the action. Or something. But it's been a slog to watch, for sure.

IIRC this was brought up a lot here in comments on the first season, but I haven't seen anything since then. I guess we all just accepted it and moved on.

I had this weird feeling all season long that Howard and Kim will end up together. There's more chemistry between them than there is between her and Jimmy, for one thing.
