Long weekends certainly contribute to that.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Well, the truly sad truth is that I clock weeks ticking over by the ER visit, and I had a panic that I had somehow missed it this week (when the headache doesn't move, it gets hard to tell) and needed to go into the office tomorrow.

Oh, yeah, that would be bad.
Man, I hate that that's your calendar.
I think you asked in Natter, but I'll answer here - I don't watch Girls. The ads looked like something I wouldn't want to watch, and then the reviews (both positive and negative) just reinforced that it's Not For Me.

I think it's funny, ita. But I also see your point about it. definitely, not the usual envy-filled aspirational type TV

Good episode. Well done, especially considering it was done on a TV budget. There are a couple of things I missed from how it played in the books - The chain across the bay, the even bigger fire, and "Renly's ghost", but it all ends up amounting to more or less what we got, so there you go.

Yeah, that (whitefonted stuff) really would have just amounted to more spectacle, which believe me I would have loved, but I can do without. And Loras did have the antlered helm on when he first appeared.

Art Crawl!!!
I missed those things too: they would have been nice but I also thought it was excellent.
Can't believe we only have one more episode.
Yikes.

I'm not sure you can put more epic in 50-odd minutes.
Who was saying that the guy who plays Bronn has some folk-singing credentials in real life?
Lena Headey still managed to stand out in an episode of standouts.
