The last time I cared about the Emmys was probably oh, three decades ago.

Of course Arya Stark has many skills, but cooking is not something she has any experience with, besides chopping vegetables... so how did she bake the pie?

Could it be she called in help from an old friend who specializes in cooking Hot Pies?

What a powerful scene that was. How beautiful & inspiring regarding duty; truly a scene for our times.

Did you see that Benioff & Weiss apologized for that episode? I couldn’t believe it, but here it is: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6xpG74e_-94

SPOILER ALERT!! don’t watch if you’re not up to date.

Ahhh! Yes, certainly — and even better! Had not thought of that. Only thing is, good as the baker was, I know the pie was cold, stone COLD.

Reminds me of a bizarre surreal movie I saw ages ago.

It reminds me of the South Park episode “Scott Tenorman Must Die”, where Cartman gets revenge on a bully by feeding him a chili made from his own parents...
