The whole lead up to it was weird, and it kinda makes this season’s Winterfell arc completely incoherent. But what a pay off!

It has always bugged the shit out of me that everyone universally agrees that there’s a silent, written r in “char siu.” Everyone writes it, but no one says it. Well, maybe they do, but it’s super duper soft.

Tormund is almost certainly alive because D&D would milk the hell out of his death.

I also think they were running inland, but they were twenty feet away from a directed blast of dragon fire. I’m positive they’ll be back next season, I just don’t like the way it’s happening.

“You stand accused of murder. You stand accused of treason. How do you answer these charges ... Lord Baelish?”

What kills me (pardon the pun) is that they didn’t show Tormund and Beric’s deaths on screen. Which means that they’re leaving the door open to them surviving. And I don’t know how in the world they can try to explain that coherently following the that montage of the Wall coming down.

Now playing

I was hoping for some pure nostalgia from this thread, but mostly it just brought up my salt at not having a Switch yet. Anyway, one track that’s particularly underrated is Neo Bowser City from Mario Kart 7 (but on Mario Kart 8). I like the Blade Runner-esque aesthetic and the need for incredibly precise drifts to

Tormund is great, but if he counts as a minor character, then it should really be Davos repp’ing GoT. They’re both series regulars, but Davos beats Tormund by almost every measure.

But all change is bad, and I’m not supposed to like it (although seriously, that front page layout is terrible, I have no idea what I’m looking at).

I didn't get that impression, but I can understand where it's coming from. I just think it's a roundabout way of killing him when you could just have Drogon roast him. *sigh* time to load the episode back up again and see, innit?

“How many men do we have to fight the Night King? Ten thousand? Less?”

That fight in Winterfell was fantastically directed. If they can make Arya v. Brienne look that great, imagine the Hound v. the Mountain. CLEGANEBOWL, GET HYPE!!!

The fight in the Reach was cinematically superb (thank god for a 7-episode season), but it narratively felt a lot like D&D having their cake and eating it too. At least one of Bronn, Jaime, and Drogon should have died in that battle.

“Tell Cersei. I want her to know it was me.” — Lady Olenna, the baddest badass in Westeros.

Did she land on her feet at DHS? Or she pursue a job in DHS because it would give her an avenue to continue her investigation of Varga?

That ending aside, my major quibble with this episode was the continued characterization of IRS auditors as anal-retentive neat freaks. Because I know a number of accountants who are absolute slobs.

I'm not saying I blame Jimmy for Kim's crash, but at the same time, if you can visibly see she pulled an all-nighter, maybe don't let her get on the highway? Or tell her to drink with you and then drive faster?

What a showcase for JLD. Her scene with Gary in the bathroom was top-notch, but her and Mike in the stable is up there. This is the Emmy submission right here.

I found Chuck and Howard's conversation about the admission of the tape interesting. Chuck revealed his hand that he cares more about his vendetta against Jimmy than about HHM or the firm's reputation. Howard's only been putting up with Chuck's shit for the firm, and his face after Chuck insisted Jimmy needed to be

I feel like this was foreshadowed last week when Chuck patronizingly told Kim that the evidence rules of a bar hearing were looser than those of the courts. I'm no lawyer, but I think Jimmy's Mike Brady shenanigans wouldn't hold up in court. Chuck got what was coming for him though.
