In addition, Jaime clearly states that he learned from the war with Robb and used that strategy. Part of a good commander is learning from past mistakes and using great ideas from others.

I would like to think you are right about the response to her potentially pardoning him but the North hates the Lannisters too. I could easily see them thinking it is a betrayal also. She might be in a lose-lose situation here.

I’m baffled by the notion that Jon is just doing what Dany wants. In reality, SHE is doing what HE wants. This has been his goal for so long and she has paused her goal to help. Granted it should have been a great PR move but those Northern Lords and Ladies are just too stuck in the actions of others in the past.

I was disappointed in the poor CGI of Jon dragon riding. It took me out of what should have been a much more awesome moment. It was great but it should have been spectacular.

Correct me if I am wrong. Sansa may not like it, even I may not like it but the King bent the knee to her. That means she is the Queen, right? Isn't that how this world works? Why would she be expected to act differently? Either way, it is still a silly way for Sansa to act. I am completely fine with her not being happy about the situation but to openly antagonistic doesn't smart to me.

I am pretty neutral toward Dany though I do think she is generally a good person. I loved her snark tonight. The smirk when the dragons first flew over. I saw it as a combo of pride at her children and a take that you side-eyeing ungrateful people. I LOVED here whatever they want answer to Sansa's extremely rude question. That was just uncalled for. I just wish they went about showing Sansa's displeasure in a different way. What kind of host acts this way to her guests? Is Dany acting entitled? Yes. But just about everyone else is too. This is a world of entitlement. Sansa shows the same amount of entitlement about Winterfell and the Starks as the ruling house of the North. And Sam as much as I love Jon, he doesn't get points for giving up his title for his people. He didn't want it in the first place and he was raised a bastard, he didn't expect to have that sort of power. Oh Tyrion. When Sansa comes across as the logical smart one, you know you have hit rock bottom. I don't get his thought process toward Cersei. Hopefully, he doesn't come up with another idea like his stupid wight hunt idea. Arya must not know a lot of people. how smart can Sansa be that smart when she doesnt realize more fighting men and dragons are a good thing against the dead. The next episode is going to be crazy. Jaime is here! Will Jon tell Dany? Her reaction.

When they started with the having children storyline I was disappointed in B99. I was like my show is better than this. It is definitely One of my least liked tv tropes. But they turned it around so well. They had discussed it. And every thing was gold after that. One nitpick- I need to SEE Kevin.

I have been doing a another re-watch and am now in the dreaded Season 8. I should a modified re-watch in that I am only really watching the Dean scenes (don't judge me). It is amazing how better Sam comes off if I watch the show this way. lol If you had asked me before this re-watch I would have said my thoughts on Sam per season were 1 - liked, 2 - loved, 3 - loved, 4 - hated, 5 - disliked, 6 - meh, 7 - meh, 8 - hated, 9 - hated, 10 - present - liked. In the re-watch I am seeing that Season 6 and 7 Sam is not so bad with some specific story line exceptions (Amy). My Dean ratings per season were 1 - liked, 2 - loved, 3 - present - obsessed. Which haven't changed so far. But here I am with 8 and even with fast forwarded the non-Dean scenes, Sam is a total ass. I have't even gotten to Citizen Fang yet (up next). Part of that is his irrational reaction to Benny. The character of Benny was just fire when he was introduced and the chemistry between him and Dean was off the charts. (I miss Benny). Dean didn't help by not explaining Purgatory but once Sam said Benny was the same as Amy (The situations are not the same. She had just proven she was willing to kill humans.) and he equated Dean not mentioning a friend to Sam as the same as Sam not looking for Dean I knew he wasn't being rational. The other thing I realized is the recency bias I had toward Crowley. I had totally forgotten how EVIL he is. Shame on me. One of the other things that has popped out on re-watches is how the nature of the boys switches in regards to friends. Sam was all about having friends and Dean was no friends at any time. But when you watch you see Dean making the connections with longer term characters and Sam not so much or only after Dean has invited these people in. This is not say Sam has none but the majority of "long-term" friends have a greater connection with Dean.

This was not a traditional finale. So it did suffer from finale episode expectations. I liked it though as an episode. Some great interactions and I liked the navigation of the snow. It gave us a different look. I did like this season a lot, though I don't like what it looks like they are trying to do with Negan. I will never forget.

I hope that is it. As I said, I will wait to see how it plays out. I also meant to say that if this this true that I probably answered my own question when I said emotions are not logical. You are probably right with the misplaced blame. As I definitely can see it played that since Zeke can’t blame Henry (or Carol) and it looks like at the moment Alpha is out of reach, Daryl is a person closer to home he can place the blame on.

How can Ezekiel blame Daryl or Carol for Henry’s death? What am I missing? I know emotions are not logical but come on. Alpha is to blame but if you don’t want to blame her then Henry is next. I will wait to see how it plays out but that is annoying. With Daryl going to Alexandria, I am interested in (nervous) how the writers handle interactions between him and Negan.

I was with Nadine last week and agreed about the dishes but then she had to just lose her mind. As a plus sized person who loves prints, I was annoyed that she thought she had to limit her look. It is never a good look to blame the model. I liked almost all of the looks tonight. I would have picked Sebastian to win also. I am loving Christian’s critiques.

Oh, I agree it was Alpha. I meant was that really why Siddiq is alive. Or did he have some other part in it? Maybe to save himself.

I have no reason not to trust Siddiq but that speech at the end was fishy? It was like Shane’s speech about Otis. I really hope I am wrong.

Do you think Siddiq kept on saying this is the story I want you to remember because is was just a story and not the truth?

When Gabriel spokento Rosita a few episodes ago he mentioned that he was the leader of a Council with no power. Talking about how Michonne was vetoing everything.

As others have mentioned, not having Dean Winchester anymore is just a bummer. Little did I know when I started watching this show that his character would take the number 1 spot of TV or movies characters that I “love”. While I want the show to end strong, I NEED the end to do justice to Dean. He deserves it after all this time.

Negan can’t be redeemed for me either. So if they ever have Daryl say a chummy word to him I will throw up. At least Judith is a child and was too young to really remember firsthand what he did. Stories can never top reality. On another note, it took be a while to realize when Daryl came out of the school he had new blood spatter on his face and two bloody knifes. Are we to assume he did some killing of his own off camera?

Actually, the only one she seemed to consistently acknowledge (besides Alexandrians) was Daryl. They were fine and even close when they captured Lydia. He seemed to have an open invitation to Alexandria. Michonne was surprised when Aaron told her he was not automatically let in and she let them in because of her trust for Daryl. But I do agree, this story lends more to explaining why Alexandria shut its doors to outsiders and not the other communities. It was too big of a leap from other people bad to all our friends and loved ones are bad.

I like when the show highlights that Amy understands Sheldon and is able to work within his boundaries to open him up to "new" or different ways of doing things. As much as I enjoyed that, Sheldon has notably been shown to want children. Yes, it was more about not depriving the world of his advanced genes but it was still about having children. So I probably would have rather it had been played for Amy moving Sheldon from reproduction only reasons to more "cuddlely" reasons for having children. Though we were left with the notion that Sheldon "learned" kids could be "fun".

Am I the only one who just wants to punch Biddel in the face? There is just a smugness to him that just grates for me. Critiquing your fellow contestants is part of the show and I don't generally mind it but when he does it it just comes off as "holier than though". I can see he is not a "safe" designer and I should appreciate that but I find myself actually rooting against him now even more than Michelle. Yikes! I am in trouble!

Though I have no problem with him, I thought the same thing about the shopping list. I know I shouldn't like when the designers are bitchy and get on another contestants design but for some reason when Dimitry does it just tickles me and makes me laugh.

I was wondering the same thing. Even though his consciousness is locked up, Michael's grace is still inside of Dean. How does that work? I would be surprised if they went into it though.

Thanks for the assist. That is what I was referring to.

I liked this one. I was worried when it started for both the Sheldon/Howard story line and the Penny/Leonard story line but I really like where they ended. Regarding Penny and Leonard, I am open that I don't like them as a couple and I thought it was going to be another episode where Leonard looks desperate and Penny seems not that into their relationship. But that pay off was great (I still don't like them as a coup;e though, lol). Regarding Sheldon/Howard, I thought it was going to be a rehash of "Sheldon is a meanie and poor victim Howard". But it wasn't. As we know from Season 7, Howard was the instigator of the "adversarial" relationship he and Sheldon have. He wasn't upset at the "revenge" from Sheldon and Amy. Plus the joy the outsiders got from the impersonations, it has always been clear that all of them "give it" to each other. (Though some people like to think Sheldon is the only one who does this). I did like that Sheldon wasn't really mad about the impersonation but the realization that his friends have been making fun of him all this time. And by the end, even though Bernie had zero legs to stand on, Sheldon was willing to go and smooth things over with her just because his friend Howard asked him to. Yes indeed, "Let the Wookie win". Lastly, I really liked the "couple support" you saw in this episode. Even from Raj and his lady.
