  1. Technology disparity exists on our world. I'm sure that there are people with cell phones and internet connections that are otherwise living exactly as people were 100 years ago in their area.
  2. see that is at least based on stuff we've seen in the show. Contrast that to the "Greg has hired Quentin to kill Tanya" theory which presumes that: A. Greg wants Tanya dead 2. Instead of pushing her off a cliff or arranging some other "accident" on their Vespa ride he decides to contract it out to his gay not lover from 30-40 years ago iii. Once Quentin accepts the offer he decides the best course of action is to hang out with his target and a gaggle of witnesses. Take her out on a yacht, treat her to the opera, have her stay over and then at some point dispatch her? Yes Greg is acting shady and may be cheating on Tanya. Obviously Quentin has kept some things hidden from her, but these do not add up to an elaborate murder plot.
  3. i've noticed a trend of this in tv posters in general, not just this show.. People hearing hoofbeats and instead of thinking of horse, jumping past zebras to miniature unicorn ponies.
  4. If Quentin does have an ulterior motive I suspect it's more along the lines of a covert sales pitch for his villa. "oh it's costing me so much in upkeep I can't afford it. But it'd be a mere pittance to you and you'd be able to live amongst this beauty and go to the opera every night etc..."
  5. that's what i thought, that he decided with the chaos and the obvious incoming imperial crackdown that discretion was the better part of valor
  6. how dare Paget Brewster show her age!
  7. eh better than most, good to have a host that's used to sketch comedy. WU remains consistently funny.
  8. Subtly is overrated, sometimes a sledgehammer is needed, at what point is the woman's life in danger? when the ectopic pregnancy is detected? or when it has ruptured and she's bleeding? as mentioned the various bans are vague and doctors don't want to face criminal charges. edit: there is a difference between "the health of the mother is in danger" and "the life of the mother is in danger" I believe some bans allow abortion for the latter but not the former. The ectopic pregnancy was unhealthy but it didn't start threatening the life of the mother until it actually ruptured.
  9. the shot guns with the green furniture are loaded with less lethal rounds (cause they're not non-lethal)
  10. Jack Harlowe was a better host than I expected, but it wasn't that high of a bar to clear. Only sketch that really stood out was the AA/Pixar one.
  11. he was wounded and then a fever (infection) set in. That was what was threatening his life.
  12. she knew that they weren't Rhaenys's grandchildren and thus had no Baratheon blood.
  13. the Dothraki aren't on this continent, they're native to Essos
  14. that's because she's a live actress and not an actual dead body.
  15. bullets generally don't punch neat circular holes straight through people. Once it penetrates, it's going to tumble, expand or fragment. The sheer kinetic energy of the round is going to cause a shockwave in the soft tissue. People surviving a bullet to the head are an exception not the rule
  16. it was a joke, it's something he never says, that I suspect nobody has ever said
  17. I presumed that he was referencing his brother.
  18. Given that we never saw the shooter it suggests that he wasn't up close which then implies that he used a rifle. Rosalind probably had a very big hole in the back of her head. She didn't bleed out, her body didn't have a nervous system to tell it to keep running,
  19. Yes Alicent believes Viserys wanted Aegon to take the throne but can't believe he wanted Rhaenyra and her family dead. As can be seen by his plotting with most of the small council Otto doesn't care about the king's wishes and want's Aegon to take power and have that power secured with the death of Rhaenyra
  20. so she/a henchman listen to a scanner or stake out the fire station and if Bailey's truck isn't available she doesn't make the call luring them to her trap. I fully concede that predicting that Bailey would be the one to get caught in the trap is bullshit, but getting her to the correct location isn't hard work.
  21. certain fire stations serve certain parts of the city. Setting a trap in Bailey's area of operations isn't that big of a stretch.
  22. ehhhhhh. MTS was ok, writing was bad. Che did have some killer jokes in WU
