Uncle JUICE

I feel like "obliterator," while funny, is a terrible name for a product like this. I guess it's better than "excavator" which someone else said, but really, are women inclined to look for "obliteration" in this aisle? Also that shop has a major inventory management problem, they looked like they had every vibrator on the market, how many of each??? (Sorry, supply chain guy) And that shop's open late, she can stop on the way back.

Couldn't agree more with @arc on the age thing. Since I picked this show up with the wife a few days ago, it's been bugging me, neither one of these characters look under 35, and I think even that's a stretch. It's not a criticism of the gorgeous Kristin Bell, but she seems less like a person learning how to navigate adult relationships.

Been watching this with the wife, and this is what I was hoping someone else would point out. There's zero chance a woman this age (which I think is at least 35) who grew up in LA or lived there for some significant portion of her life would never have encountered these words.

DING DING DING! This is why that scene was dumb to include. I wish Rhaenyra had responded along these lines, like "Listen, if you want to escape with your daughter, here's the deal. You're stuck here under lock and key until I secure the surrender of the Red Keep, after which I will execute your usurper son, Aemond, and your father once I find him. Helaena will then publicly renounce the claims to the throne through her remaining children, forever, and you and her can relocate to Essos. Your uncle will be stripped of Old Town, and with his brother, will be executed, as will all male heirs. If I ever hear the name Hightower on this side of the Narrow Sea again, I will spare no expense in finding you both and burning you to ash. I have six dragons, I don't knock on doors."

My problem with the Tyland scenes are strictly that they're all in the season finale. I basically forgot he even WENT to Essos (full disclozhe, I watch this show high as fuck so I miss stuff once in a while), and it felt really imbalanced to have four different scenes of this stuff. Especially given what they ended up showing. THe mud wrestling sequence was...in this episode.

COunt me among the chorus of the underwhelmed, but mainly because it's a season finale. I bet if you shuffled around stuff that happened in the last two episodes (since we're already off book anyway), it would have worked a little better. Basically delete Tyland Lannister and that ridiculous Pirates Voyage broke ass looking community theater group sequence. That was confounding. Move all but the last shot of Rhaena running around the vale (on its surface this is ridiculous but I digreess) to Ep 7. Modify the Rhaenycent scene so that it's also in Ep7, and Alicent is asking Rhaenyra to accept that the war is over, for no reason other than Vaghar, and Rhaenyra's barely-there alliances, the strengh of the crown, essentially telling her the math doesn't work (again with more time I can come up with something more detailed but you guys get it), which would then push Rhaenyra to accept bastards to ride dragons. If you want to put them on screen I'll always watch these two work, but to basically have Alicent offer surrender seems odd, given the situation. And flip the last 30 minutes of both the last two episodes, now your season ends with that absolute bad ass shot of Rhaenyra, Syrax, Vermithor and Seasmoke, with Aemond in retreat. I bet everyone, including me, would have stood up and cheered that shit on. And for me the reconciliation of Rhaemon is a big enough event to feature it prominently in a penultimate episode, but a dude bending the knee is not the same electricity as "Who wants to meet a dragon? Everyone down to the dragonmont gantry!" Followed by the barbecue. Plus leaving off here, with Rhaenyra teetering on the edge of megalomania, is pretty intriguing. Sure, other adjustments to be made, but that's just off the top of my head. I'm sure someone well versed in the book / lore (#prosperina65) will point out something that breaks the timeline I'm proposing that I'm forgetting, but I havent rewatched it it.

I think this is soft selling it :)...dude has a very specific taste in ladies of the night, wouldn't you say? Let's hope he doesn't get some of Alys Rivers's Zzquil, just ask Daemon, that shit will give you some WEIRD dreams along this axis!

I hate seeing that dog...because this is Westeros. I can't be having MORE bad things happen to this dog, but I'm very concerned that's what's coming. Don't you FUCKING dare show that dog, a hungry Hugh Hammer and then have him wiping his mouth, god dammit.

I can forgive these little lapses, I forgave it in Empire. What I can't forgive is that ridiculous David Harewood as a senator scene. People just went ape shit for a good actor in a potentially interesting role in Star Wars, but the stuff that comes out of his mouth is absolutely laughable writing. He literally explains who he is and why he's at odds with Vern to the audience, just straight out. No nuance.

I have some questions about this. Presumably they're blockading at sea, which is to the east of KL...why can't they get food in from the Reach, over land? Rhaenyra has no ground army at all.

Don't you sorta wish there was at least a few more dark skinned folks running around on Driftmark? Like basically EVERYBODY already knows, right? Addum basically asking Alllyn (no idea if that's how you spell them) "Why are you even shaving your head, man, you think it's the hair that gives you away?" :)

YOU WERE ON JEAOPARDY? Honestly, I didn't think you could get much cooler, and that's not me being sarcastic! :)

Baby, some swords are ALWAYS in a position to be sheathed. Unless you're Daemon circa season 1, then you can't sheath that shit at all. But in seriousness, I agree with your assessment, that he had it out for both reasons, because it's entirely possible that Darklin soldiers would have seen Sunfyre fall, and decided to rally to that point to finish off the king, so it's sensible to assume you might get into some shit there. And I also think he was considering finishing the job, but saw the state Aegon's in and figured "No chance he's making it, that dude is fuuuuuuucked up! I'm gonna be king in about two hours, I can wait for him to expire" and didn't want to go double kinslayer AND kingslayer on his already tarnished reputation (for no man is so accursed, I've heard), so he was putting it away. But the ambiguity here is cool, as it is in keeping with a tale told by unreliable narrators.

God I'm glad I've finally broken the cycle with this show. :)

It would have been something to add if Indara had ANY reaction to it. LIke when Kelnacca's free, she could be like "HOLY FUCK, I didn't mean to kill all those ladies!" or "THIS is why I told you not to come. Your poor decisions and insubordination have now contributed to the death of 3 dozen otherwise innocent people, and orphaned two kids." Instead, she's like "Ok, let's go now."
