Any chance of last 2 episode recaps? Please, Father?

When is the review for episode 5 and 6 coming out?

Did AV Club abandon ship on one of the best reviewed shows of the year so far? If so, that’s a bummer. The last two episodes of the season were some of the best TV I’ve seen. That last episode, that last scene...whooo, cathartic, heartbreaking perfection. 

No more reviews of Fleabag??

What happened to the last two recaps?

Use of names is actually one of the most stylised features of fiction. In real life, people rarely use names when talking to people they know well, and the closer you are to somebody the less often you use their name. [Reaching its peak with parents. Of course ‘Dad’ is just ‘Dad’ - that, or ‘Your Father’ - is the only…

I would totally read it as an abuse of power IF he hadn’t also knelt down with her. I read it as a moment of shared humanity, i.e. let’s suffer in both pain and pleasure together.

“....his arms."

Definitely a Hugo Boss design.

“Tonight I am serving high-camp Dragon mama. My hair is wind-swept, my wings are spread, and my armor plate is padded to the gawds! The judges are gagged... And I. Am. Living!”

Right? I keep seeing people saying that John wouldn’t be happy in the north, but he literally said, “I wish I was going with you...”, to Tormund just like two episodes ago. He’s got The North in him, “The real North”. He digs it up there. And so does Ghost. It’s where they belong. 

I’d actually think Jon would be kind of happy up in the North with the Wildings. The only place he’s been really happy was up there with the Free Folk and he doesn’t really have any responsibilities. He’s not a Night’s Watchman, not King of the North, not King of Westeros or whatever he might be. He’s just a dude with…

A shame that Jaime and Cersei didn’t decide to stand just ten feet to the left. The collapsing ceiling would have missed them entirely.

The ‘no-entire-continent-looking-to-kill-him-or-try-him-for-war-crimes’ clause made up for it. 

She’s going to bring them potatoes and tomatoes, changing the cuisine of at least 3 kingdoms for centuries. Also, chewing tobacco is going to take Winterfell by storm.

Wasn’t Jon’s punishment to join the Nightswatch again? Instead he ran off with the Wildings. (And his one true love, Tormund).  Also - how the fuck was the wall back? Did it regrow? 

“Dinklage, peter DINKlage, peter DINKlage, peter DINKlage...” Holy shit that’s amazing, is this a thing everyone does? Why am I just learning this now?

When did Dany have time to have a couture outfit made? I see no handmaidens/dressers. Who is styling her?

The acting definitely elevates the show as both Applegate and Cardellini are amazing. James Marsden and Ed Asner are also fun to watch in their roles. This review really undersells the other strong elements of the show. It is a smartly written examination of guilt, accountability, grief, anger, and the complexity of…

They are less than 4 years apart, both born in the 70's. Yes, they are very much middle-aged women. We are not all crones, you know.
