It was only a decade ago that Nathalie was still on Hollyoaks, playing what had become a truly sad character who was mostly there to be a slampiece for an older, white mob boss. I never thought she was that much of an actress, but she had real screen presence. I think she has grown as an actress, while maintaining her charisma and poise over the years. I hope she has a lot of good things ahead in her career.

HAHAHAHAHA!!!! The gifs have been everything this past week.

 

That said...I knew there would be something shocking at the end of this episode...still...NOT THAT. And the backlash from it has been wow. Especially given some of the talks around here about Y&R and the Winters.

 

I had told my co-worker there was no way that the dragons were making it out of this season alive...and there goes another one.

Still so abrupt. Thankfully not as shocking or traumatic as well Viserion fell for me. 

 

Ugh at Arya and Gendry. But then again...she still has her list to finish. Then...maybe.

 

And I see Varys and Tyrion are coming back into play.

 

While I don't think Dany is going all Mad Queen...I feel it's justified if she burns it all down given all she has lost over the last few...days? Snapping is understandable.

I think this was one of the best episodes of the series. Wow. I will have to rewatch.

 

First of all, Emilia Clarke's performance was PHENOMENAL. I am so annoyed at the posts I'm seeing claiming this was OOC and that the writing destroyed Dany etc. Ridiculous. This has been foreshadowed. 

 

I guess Varys' outmaneuvering couldn't save him this time. Loved how the dragon stepped out of the darkness.

 

The Hound's death and Cersei's death were incredibly poetic. 

 

In terms of special effects/production: Superb. 

 

And now one more war...

So The Hound is dead now, along with all the caca about how he is Arya's ideal father and so special and wonderful?

About 5 years too late, but oh well. 


Best of luck to the actor, anyway...

Now that Theon is gone and got a decent sendoff, all I really want to know now is whether Davos will have a decent finish (I have no idea if his wife and sons are still alive or not). The Dragonstone group, long gone Catelyn, seasons 1-4 Sansa (who apparently did not have meaning as she had not been raped) and Theon were always the heart of the show for me. I would like to see at least one of them end on good terms.

I knew she'd do it. People who are complaining about Daenerys this season were never paying attention.

 

Maisie Williams has done her best work these last two seasons, especially this season.

Not happy with Twins as Lovers Shakespearean ending because they didn't deserve it, but the rest was incredible.

 

Dany did what bestie told her to do.  Light them mofos up!  


Twitter is unhappy but it made sense so I'm good

Yes!  Beheaded Messandei simply because she could.  Murdered anyone she felt was an enemy but she gets a sweet ending?  Wrong on so many levels.  

 

After all that Cersei has done, I didn't need the poetry of her leaving the earth with the person she was born with

    • I'm hoping that it doesn't happen. If the show keeps putting out good performance and story it will be hard to shut it out. Daphnee, Trisha, Ambyr and Colby are earning nominations without question.
    • Speaking of correcting dates, since you mentioned it above, why don't you go back to your Saturday post and edit it and replace your wording of "DAYS Ruth Buzzi 11-2-83"  with "DAYS Ruth Buzzi 11-1-83" and add a note that the video has the wrong date of 11/2/83 on it, and that the video is actually 11/1/83. 
    • If the show ever chooses to show any flashbacks of major Ted scenes, the Ted/Eva, Ted/Kat, and Ted/Nicole scenes would need to be re-filmed with nuTed. Since there have been hardly any Ted/Martin scenes with the CurrentTed, they have avoided the difficulty of doing recreated flashbacks with nuTed for scenes with Martin.  The only one would be Martin punching Ted after the anniversary reveal (unless there's something in the next few episodes). I agree with other posters that the fact that we barely saw CurrentTed and Martin interact, makes it less impactful to viewers to see Martin's outrage at the reveal. 
    • This makes me think of that famous quote from COOL HAND LUKE,  "What we've got here is failure to communicate." I did not bring up "apparently" to try to get across either truth or validity, but doubt. If I had been sure, I would have said something entirely different. But, I'm not trying to argue, I hear you & I will comply. Besides that, I will endeavor to word things differently. I am never against trying to improve. 
    • That’s been my main issue with his response. It didn’t feel that earned by what came before. Definitely needed to see more of the Richardsons as a full family unit prior to all of this.
    • Bingo! I thought the exact same thing. Martin's anger feels so out of place, because we've hardly seen him interact with his parents. Vernon and him have more of a father/son relationship and we've seen their dynamic more fully play out. While obviously Ted and Marton are father and son, it felt a bit empty because we haven't really seen them bond or truly connect in any scenes.
    • Leslie inferred over 20 years ago, so Eva and Kat are over 20 at least 
    • As it happens, 40 years ago this week, ABC and CBS revealed their 1985-86 fall schedules. NBC revealed theirs the week before. ABC's would end up changing. The original plan for Tuesdays was to have Diff'rent Strokes lead the night, with He's the Mayor at 8:30, followed by Who's the Boss at 9, Growing Pains at 9:30, and Moonlighting at 10. There was some surprise over MacGruder & Loud not getting renewed, but it was considered part of Aaron Spelling's declining influence at the network. Yes, Dynasty was still a hit (for a while longer), but Aaron's shows steadily took up less and less of the schedule. Fall 1984: Seven hours, five of which were new programming (Dynasty, Hotel, Glitter, Matt Houston, T.J. Hooker, The Love Boat, Finder of Lost Loves; MacGruder & Loud aired at midseason, by which time Glitter was gone.). Fall 1985: Five hours, two of which were new programming (Dynasty, Hotel, The Colbys, Hollywood Beat, The Love Boat). Fall 1986: Three-and-a-half hours, a half-hour of which was new programming (Dynasty, Hotel, The Colbys, Life With Lucy). Fall 1987: Two hours, none of which was new programming (Dynasty and Hotel; HeartBeat premiered at midseason). Fall-winter 1988: Two hours, none of which was new programming (Dynasty and HeartBeat). This led to Variety's infamous shady headline in spring 1989: "Aaron's Dynasty Over"
