I think that the usual bit is for a sneering new guy to be brought in as a source of conflict, but who eventually turns out to be a good guy at heart and comes through in a key moment. That they suspect he could be a mole is usually a sign that he isn't.

If they're going to pick a side, "Trump has dementia" seems like the right one, even if his fans disagree. I was waiting for the twist in My Best Friend's House and it was worth it. Serial killers are funny. Castrato was fine. Gay Friend was fine. Hotel Detective was very fine. Ariana Grande showed her impersonation ability as Celine Dion and Jennifer Coolidge. Felt very solid overall, but not much super spectacular best-of-the-season stuff.

I'm sure there's a way to do it where you can show the difference between Biden maybe being senile vs Trump's dementia. Rewatched the episode. Jane Wickline seemed mostly fine for an early role. She could maybe look up more when playing a song. Some people really loved it, so I think it's probably just more stuff that pleases some but not all people. Washington 2 was fine. Not as good as the original, but still worth doing. Nothing was bad, really. Seems like a fine episode.

My guess is that you're confusing him with

Just confirms my belief that Homelander isn't part of Sage's endgame. Loved how the people around Tek Knight wanted to screw him. Maybe I should be more concerned about how the show is mirroring reality, but mostly I find it funny.

I believe Seasmoke never left because Laenor just outright abandoned his dragon. Next series, we're getting man-on-man fellatio. Alicent is ultimately looking for whatever path is most likely to have her children alive and not sent to the Wall. The past is a sunk cost. Given what has transpired, given whatever mistakes have been made, what other option does she have but to stay the course? If only Viserys had accepted Otto's suggestion of betrothing then-two-year-old Aegon to Rhaenyra. Another option would have been another event like the Great Council of Harrenhal to let the lords discuss and vote on it. Maybe Rhaenyra wouldn't have loved the idea because that council chose Viserys over Rhaenys and maybe Otto should have embraced it for the same reason.

It was a dumb scheme and consistent with Cole being a dope.

I think at least part of Otto's motivation was that Corlys is Daemon's ally and he wanted to prevent his proposal that his daughter Laela marry Viserys.

I think it's admirable to not let grief make you do irrational things. He's the opposite of Aegon and Ser Criston. Otto was the one holding things together by keeping power out of the hands of Daemon. The problem is the Aegon isn't much better, so we're seeing the same level of chaos we would have had if Daemon has been able to take the throne.

As someone who is pro-Aemond and anti-Daemon, I enjoy seeing the latter (hopefully) being made to look worse in the eyes of the audience. I also wish the ending had been more like in the book.

My mind did go to that. I was a fan of Rey's parents being nobodies and of TLJ in general and was disappointed with how the next movie wiped that all away. I would rather they keep Ruby's parentage as is, not make her unseen father be someone special, and just have her be important because the Doctor cares about her and not because she has some special heritage or was created for a specific purpose.

Finally finished the show. The resolution of the Progenitor tech was what I expected from the start, since I know A Final Unity.

Part of me wonders if Sage is playing the long con with some sort of anti-Vought or anti-Homelander plot.

I just don't think the answers are that important. The dots either found the creatures or made them, it doesn't matter which. From a storytelling perspective, the people needed to be eaten in a non-random order so that the Doctor could figure out that there was a purpose behind their deaths and name is just as good as any other field in a database and easier to show the audience. The show doesn't need to over-explain every detail.

JG felt like Paul Rudd's better-looking younger brother. Really loved Scooby Doo. I thought Che was killing it before the joke swap. And of course the joke swap itself was it's usual fun, but that is definitely my type of humor
