    I work in grocery. I have not gotten sick. My fellow employees have not gotten sick. If the virus were even remotely as contagious as its being presented as, why haven’t entire store staffs who come into contact with hundreds of people per day, thousands per week, all falling ill in mass nationwide?

    Pretty sure that's the first time they used a flashback, right?

    Yup. And it was a nice way of dropping one in. Not a game-changer with its information or employment, but a perfect tone-setter.

    I guess by now you guys know the first four episodes that were sent to critics subsquently leaked online last night, right?

    Having the first 40% of HBO's scheduled season drained of its exclusivity has gotta hurt. At this point in the series' popularity, especially with it being the most pirated show in the world, that's like the TV equivalent of the first hour of Age of Ultron making its way online.
    Last 11 things I really enjoyed:

    Speed Racer (Wachowski/Wachowski, 2008)
    Safe (Haynes, 1995)
    South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut (Parker, 1999)
    Beastie Boys Story (Jonze, 2020)
    Bad Trip (Sakurai, 2020)
    What's Up Doc? (Bogdanovich, 1972)
    Diva (Beineix, 1981)
    Delicatessen (Caro/Jeunet, 1991)
    The Hunger (Scott, 1983)
    Pineapple Express (Green, 2008)
    Chungking Express (Wong, 1994)

    The flashback doesn't really do anything for Cersei's character though. I guess it kind of gives her more paranoia than straight out anger.

    I'm really interested in the suggested Tyrion / Targaryen relationship.

    I thought it added another layer of explanation to her dynamic with Margaery. Wasn't necessary, but it explains in more detail why Cersei hated the young pretty Tyrell since day one.

    I know people have criticized me in these forums for downloading a lot of the stuff I watch, but the funny thing is I was actually looking forward to watching a new Game of Thrones every Sunday - seemed like a nice day of the week for watching a show like this the old fashioned way.

    Now I don't know if I'll be able to resist... Anyone knows how's the quality of the leak?

    420p quality. Watchable.

    I'm paying for HBO and will probably download them to free up my Sunday night. Does that make me a pirate?

    Watch all four and then wait four weeks for the fifth episode? No thank you.

    My thoughts exactly.

    And yes Duke, that makes you a pirate.

    That Cersei-Margaery scene is, to me, Game of Thrones at its best.

    Love everything going on in the House of Black and White.

    Tons of setup going on across the board. It's great.

    House of Black and White? Is that a book thing? I thought we were past the book.

    Oh yeh, that is the only thing this season that has any build. There's literally no build anywhere else.

    WTF do you mean? The Cersei storyline is the most exciting to me right now, Dany is facing a revolution, and Sansa is about to be married into a family that slaughtered hers. I'd say those are all more interesting than Arya's impending training montage.

    Are you kidding?

    Sansa's story probably has the most going for it right now as conflict brewing. Something big is coming from that.

    Arya's story is just in an area that I have yet to see in GoT.

    I get the feeling that there isn't a standard training montage in Black & White.

    At least I hope not.

    Dany's struggle with the revolution is pretty good too. A change from her ease of taking over place after place. However, it feels like the scenes we've seen are sort of repeating themselves since last season when the dragons started lighting up goats.
