There was some real talent up there, kids.

Some of their clever observations about Westeros include: Jamie and Cersei are twins who have sex!
Did you want someone to recite thatTheyre bringing crime.

Then this is the show for you.
As Cersei leaves, Tyrion says, Dat ass doe.
It is very dumb.

Look at you, you old bastard!
Thats a little cliche moment thatactually happensin the real episode ofGame of Thrones.
They just reenact a scene that happened, butworse.
I left the theater bitter about the world and most people in it.
Look, this isnt a good show.
Well, not sure.
Maybe have three beers.D
