It’s finale-palooza at the Televerse! This week, Noel and Kate spotlight the finales and recent seasons of The CW’s Arrowverse series: Supergirl, Arrow, The Flash, and DC’s Legends of Tomorrow. How have the seasons shaped up, and what’s ahead in next season’s Crisis on Infinite Earths mega-crossover? Before that, though there’s a full week of TV to discuss. First are the comedies. Kate checks in with the black-ish finale, then Noel catches up with Better Things season three, and Kate gives her thoughts on the latest The Last O.G. Next up is reality, with Noel talking The Amazing Race and the return of the Head-to-Head and Kate’s take on the RuPaul’s Drag Race reunion. Last, we round out the week with drama and genre, including the Elementary premiere, the Game of Thrones finale, and the return of Darkwing Duck on DuckTales.

One possibility is that the dragon is smart enough to understand the symbolic importance of the Iron Throne and how it led to the death of Daenerys. The funnier possibility is that it’s dumb enough to think that a pointy thing sticking out of her means the chair made of pointy things must be the murderer.
Jon can be burned. In the first season he burned his hand when he killed that wight.
Varys had been emphasizing that the best person to rule would be a person who doesn’t want to, which serves as setup for a person who doesn’t want anything. One possible argument for Bran is that his detachment makes him a compromise candidate who won’t use power to advance his house/faction at the expense of others, although granting Sansa’s request for independence undercuts that.
David Benioff’s “The 25th Hour” is actually pretty good. I think the showrunners got tired of the show and hadn’t been prepared to finish without more books.
