  4. this television show is a goddamn delight.
  5. watching 11 right now. HOLY FUCK that dude sneaking up on the car was creepy as fuck. hysterical people honking horns evokes emotions in me. The Dougie stuff is hilarious still for me. But also it's like - for as dullwitted and wandery as he seems, and how he just kind of floats with the wind, it's super unpredictable what he's actually going to walk into and how he'll get out of it. ALSO WHAT'S IN THAT BOX I WANNA KNOW Another great episode. It's nice when things work out for the casino mobsters. oh wow I didn't even know this until I looked it up, but the girl with Steven was actually Gersten Hayward (youngest daughter of Doctor Hayward and sister of Donna Hayward from the original series), and apparently that was actually her apartment that becky put a bunch of bullet holes in.
  6. also I was pumped when it was like "oh crap Talking Smack is on after it!" but then it's like - uh no. It was just Renee Young and Jerry Lawler doing yer standard post-show, but they just called it "Talking Smack". So - even the post show was a disappointment. I actually thought it was at least passingly entertaining throughout. But also - like if this was the old PPV days and I shelled out actual money for it, I'd be like - super super pissed off. So I can see that perspective. WWE has really suffered in that - their PPVs are mostly pretty much nothing exciting, but all their shows build toward the PPVs. So like it's all getting dragged down because there aren't many PPVs anymore that are just BAM all the way through. But that could just be me getting older too.
  7. Rusev Vs Cena: Almost afraid to watch this one. Pretty much forgone conclusion. I get why people don't like Cena. And I actually agree, I get a little tired of his obsequious asskissing of "our troops" and how he STILL doesn't have a handle on how to deal with fan hate after however many years of it. But he's usually good in the ring. And I love Rusev. Even so, kind of like the Nakamura/Corbin match, I just found myself not really diggin it. It felt kind of like a slow slog to an inevitable conclusion maybe? But the whole match felt slow and drawn out to me. Fashion Police segment is funny. These segments are always funny to me. And WWE humor is usually more broad, like anime humor, and usually sort of washes over me. But not sure why, I always think these segments are actually funny usually. Part of it is Breeze and Fandango, who are good together, and have at least a little skill there. But the ideas and lines are always funny too. Even the Ascension is funny in these segments. Mike Kinellis Vs Sami Zayn: Entertaining. Zayn is another stellar ring guy. Mike did okay. Not really a PPV quality match maybe. But not bad. Zayn picks up the win, again as expected. Jinder Mahal Vs Randy Orton: It's a Punjabi Prison match! Because India has money to spend on things! Honestly, the match is interesting. Timed intervals the 4 doors lock, and if that happens, the only way out is to climb out. Kind of a reversal of some of the other matches in that I really don't much care for either Orton or Mahal, but the match was entertaining. The Singh brothers are just valets for Mahal, and therefor get no attention ever, but holy crap they take some hellacious bumps and at one point Samir was actually tied up with Orton toward the top of the cage wall and stuck in the middle, then took a shot, falling from the top of the cage through a table, incredible spot and he's not even in the match technically. . That was a fun match. The main event actually was the best match of the night probably for a change. Who saw that comin? not me. As PPVs go, meh. But the main event was at least PPV material. Otherwise, really none of the matches were terrible or anything. Just not really great either.
  8. watching the Battleground. New Day vs Usos. Pretty awesome kickoff. Not sure why, but kinda surprised that . Nakamura Vs Baron Corbin. I can't imagine they're not basically going to feed Nakamura to Corbin. Match was weird. Ending was dumb. A very quick DQ giving Nakamura the win. I like both of these two guys. For some reason I just didn't like this match at all. Marathon Women's match for the #1 contender for the Women's Title was decent as expected, pleasantly surprised by the outcome, . About freakin time. she's deserved it for a long time now. Owens Vs Styles: Two of the best. . It's kind of embarrassing I think to WWE that . Brett Hart used to use the catch phrase "best there is, best there was, best there ever will be" I think really is about as close to the actual physical incarnation of that catch phrase than any other performer in WWE past or present.

  10. things seem to be going well for the Lannisters. Euron's surprise attack on Yara, and subsequent capture of Ellaria. If they then take Highgarden (as it looks like they will), they'll be better off than they were. meanwhile in the North, while it's probably a bigger and better army overall, they are sandwiched between to enemies that are very single minded in terms of their tyranny. Dany's already gotten a whif of the threat from the North from Melissandre, she's about to get an earful from Jon Snow. My guess is, Dany will ultimately have to choice but to parley with Cersei. Whether this will come before or after there's an actual full-fledged war on, I'm not sure. from the previews I've seen, it looks pretty much like Casterly Rock and Highgarden will both fall. But beyond that - there's five episodes left. so if that stuff takes a couple of episodes, that leaves 3 episodes left in the season. And part of that will indeed be spent on the wall and with the Hound and Dondarion's band. Not sure if Bran and Meera will stay at the wall or go to Winterfell. But I would think the actual war between the Lannisters and Danaerys may see like the upcoming skirmishes, and possibly even a big battle? But I think Dany will have to realize that they just can't be fighting a war now. That will just leave Cersei to fall in line. My guess is Euron's attack won't actually alter Dany's strategy so much as Jon Snow's visit will. I think because of that, she'll shift from a war with Cersei, to attempting to unite everyone, including Cersei against the Night's King. The Dornish I don't know. My kneejerk reaction is that the showrunners will sweep that detail under the rug somehow. But Doran was only tentatively holding the Dornish at bay when Oberyn was killed. And also subsequently it's why he met his end in a silly blur of a scene that must have been scripted as "k then we go to Dorn and Prince Doran gets kilt *bweh*". So I can't imagine the Dornish will be like "oh well" when not only did the Lannisters kill Oberyn, his sister and her children, but also the Sand Snakes, and also took their current monarch and her daughter captive. If they were only being held back by a thread under Doran, I don't see why they wouldn't all just be suiting up and riding for King's Landing immediately. But again, it depends on how the show will handle Dorn. They could just as easily come up with some contrivance to keep that from happening.
  11. Another oddly reasonable episode. It feels like this season so far, every episode has one big dumb thing, and the rest is pretty smooth. I would say it's better than the last couple seasons have been overall. Like the first episode, don't get me wrong, I love the idea and the scene was well written enough. BUT - just logistically speaking, in like what was probably like a day or so, Arya kills Walder Frey, takes his place, invites all the Freys from all over the Seven Kingdoms to a feast, they all RSVP and travel to the Twins, get the feast ready, poison all the wine, then just like five minute scene all the Freys are dead NEXT SCENE. The Sand Snakes I always felt were a dumb addition. They never really served a purpose in the show. And this episode that was kind of the dumb thing for me. Was - just these basically pointlessly included characters finally reach their moment of being randomly killed off to thin the herd of GOT characters moving into its final seasons. The battle I liked, but I felt like the camera was a little too jittery and mobile, so much so that it almost didn't matter what was actually going on in any of the shots. They could literally have just lit a hanky on fire and waved it around and screamed or something. Like it was tough to make out which character was doing what, though there were a few focused moments, enough to pull it off maybe. But mostly it was just explosions and fire and yelling and it was - kind of cool and also kind of stupid all at once. I felt like it could have been a little more cool if they'd taken just a beat or two more on any specific image. The rest of the episode was pretty awesome. The stuff in the Citadel was interesting in how - like to the old maesters, being a maester is about preserving the past to a certain extent. Whereas the young maesters like Sam are more interested in applying knowledge to the present, and speculating about future applications. And perhaps that's how the Maesters have inserted their order into everything. Being sort of more knowledge/past oriented, they seem useful, yet that focus on the past makes them somewhat unthreatening as an order. HOTPIE! WE GOT TO SEE HOTPIE! oh yeah and the wolf whatshername. Not surprised the wolf didn't rejoin Arya. Because FX budget and all that. The showrunners were very vocal about what a pain in the ass the dire wolves were. So I suspected we wouldn't be seeing too much more of any of them. I guess in a sense that's a lingering mildew of how the series handles things according more to budget than story. But the scene was okay. Olenna/Danaerys stuff was neat. With Dorn shanghaied and its current leader in the hands of Cersei, that's probably how Jaime is able to waltz into Highdarden. It's looking like as Jaime waltz's into Highgarden, Grey Worm will likewise waltz into Casterly Rock. I would say the Lannisters get the better end of that exchange, as Highgarden = food stores for the winter, whereas Casterly Rock is basically just a rock. Davos and John headed to Dragonstone, where they will find Melissandre. Be interesting to see how that comes out. When Arya hits Winterfell, Sansa will be in charge. That'll be an interesting reunion. Not sure Baelish isn't just mishandling his whole game at this point. He seems to be hanging back in the wrong spots and pushing in the wrong spots. Though no huge errors yet, he seems more to be testing things. But Royce now seems to mostly be speaking for the Arons. And Sansa seems to have come into her own to the point where it's tough for Littlefinger to manipulate her, or at least tougher than it was. And if Arya's coming into town, he'll have way more problems than he knows what to do with. He may well end up just saying "fuck it" and going over to Cersei. And if not directly, then as kind of a spy maybe. Not that he hasn't already done a decent job of playing all sides. Varys finally gets a good bit of dialogue with Dany. Enjoyed that bit. I'm sure the idea to take Casterly Rock is Tyrion's, but I don't see what good it does, other than finally get Casterly Rock under Tyrion's thumb, which is kind of what he always seemed to want. All it does is add a drain on Dany's troops, as she'll now not only have to take King's Landing, but also have to hold Casterly Rock. Just doesn't seem like they're really getting a lot for their trouble. Cersei and Kyburn hooking up was freakin kismet. They're like perfectly in sync. She feeds his ego and creativity and he adds to her power base significantly and creates more opportunity for her to maintain that power base. plus grey worm got sommmmmee woooo! he dipped his worm in that! got his worm wet! that worm ain't grey no more! now he's happy worm! or - like - sex worm! penis worm.
