Memorial Day. They did the same thing last year.

Trouble arrives when the opponents to such a system institute its extreme opposite, where individualism becomes godlike and sacrosanct, and no greater service to any other ideal (including community) is possible. In such a system rapacious greed thrives behind the guise of freedom, and the worst aspects of human nature come to the fore....

Yeah but that's today, not yesterday, so..... WTF? The rest of the world is also waiting, y'know! You want to be a global power and exert control with your culture, you have to deliver the drugs!

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

That whole scene re-introducing the Mountain was entirely retarded.

They could have done a far better job with him leading up to the fight.

Considering his near complete absence from last season (He was in maybe two scenes with his helmet on) and complete absence from this season to date, they had to do something for the non-reader viewers or the impact of the Mountain Viper thing would have been somewhat lost.

I agree completely, but the "something" they landed on was just pure idiocy.

I take it you did not enjoy the baby-faced giant's training regiment. Pretty sure they stole it from P-90X. The only issue I have with that particular warm-up is finding random peasants willing to die for no apparent reason. Really though, how else is someone supposed to work on their lats in a medieval setting?

Right? It's the best (worst?) example of lazy writing I've seen on the show yet.

The first Mountain was so much more intimidating and scary. This new one looks like an Ohio State lineman and a teddy bear mated. And the sight of entrails doesn't affect Cersei in the least? I know Westeros is a brutal place, but to be so unfazed by such grotesque violence in any way is not a characteristic I associated with her. The smell alone would make her wretch if not outright lose her lunch. They could have shown or alluded to something more akin with Elia's murder to draw the comparison, but chose the lazy "Here's some guts and smashing and blood splatter" route which is probably because the vast majority of show watchers want guts and smashing and blood splatters and they don't care how it fits just as long as they get it. More and more I am beginning to dislike many aspects of the execution of this show.

Theorizing that one could poop within his own lifetime, Doctor Poopet led an elite group of scientists into the desert to develop a top secret project, known as QUANTUM POOP. Pressured to prove his theories or lose funding, Doctor Poopet, prematurely stepped into the Poop Accelerator and vanished. He awoke to find himself in the past, suffering from partial amnesia and facing a mirror image that was not his own. Fortunately, contact with his own bowels was made through brainwave transmissions, with Al the Poop Observer, who appeared in the form of a hologram that only Doctor Poopet could see and hear. Trapped in the past, Doctor Poopet finds himself pooping from life to life, pooping things right, that once went wrong and hoping each time, that his next poop will be the poop home.

Yes, ew. I am right there with you.

The fight was disappointing to me. They could have stretched it out a little more; as it was there was barely any emotion in it at all. They just relied on gore to make the scene impactful. I was wondering how they would end this episode; right on the moment works though.

This episode was awesome. Blood dripping from the ceiling at Mole's Town, Arya cackling half-mad at the news, Sansa honing her spider-skills a little ahead of schedule (always a major treat to read in the later books), an actual flayed person, and that final fight was nailed imo. Had a big grin on my face by the end (and only partly because of that lingering shot of open-mouthed Tyrion).

They came with white hands and left with red hands.

I never liked the Reek POV chapters so I could do less with him and Ramsay Bolton in the show (even though they've been doing a great job) but other than that it was another good episode. Gruesome fight at the end too. I'm sad to see Oberyn go, he was probably my favorite character this season. That actor was the perfect choice, imo.
