But, gee, it was so natural and realistic, not like it was scripted or anything. /s @@ And who GAF about Derrick, anyway? Was Jesse too busy this time around?

I don't think the pearl-clutching was so much about people being killed (in general) as it was about the impression that Dany was leaving her potential subjects by appearing to be just another tyrant. Remember, that's why she took the dragon into the battlefield, rather than incinerating innocent citizens, after consulting with her advisers. I think they were hoping for a more conciliatory overture by Dany, such as the approach she took with the Unsullied. Those soldiers love her because she not only freed them, she gave them the choice to follow her.

That's kind of what I expected to happen tonight. Theon rescuing his sister, killing his uncle, and likely dying in the attempt. They keep inching toward a redemption story for him, and yet they missed an easy one in this episode.

I had to hit the mute button. That constant "bu-on" business was making me postal.

I think he's about one step away from climbing a clock tower with a high-powered rifle.

I knew that Chekov's Car thing was going to make a final appearance.

Please tell me that didn't really just happen.

Are you freaking kidding me?

Jeff just tries too hard now to make this a scripted reality show, like Housewives or something. It was much better when it played like a game show, focusing on the skills and the brains as well as the social aspect, with a wide variety of ages and backgrounds among the cast. Those people used to really work at this game. Now, it's all puzzles and throwing stuff and meat feasts every other day. None of this bunch would have made it through a season like Australia or Africa.

Oh, merciful heavens, I had just about put that season out of my mind. It really *was* horrible from start to finish.

Thanks, CBS, for spoiling the drama with the commercial for the second episode before the first one was even over. Someone needs to put Brooke out of our misery.

For some reason, tonight's show made me really cranky.

Well, P&E have definitely turned a corner now. :-(

Especially Len, after all he's said. He had that whole "I'm about to cry" thing going on with his head in his hands. GMAB.

Gee, I bet David sure felt good after seeing and hearing all the judges and hosts expressing their "shock." I'm surprised nobody said, "I was sure it was going to be David!"
