I'm about 3/4 of the way through the book "Bad Blood" by John Carreyrou. She may have started out as an idealist, but the whole operation became a fraud much earlier than one can glean from the movie. Falsifying data, lying to investors, lying to journalists, lying to regulators, employees resigning left and right (even one suicide), firing people left and right, spying on employees, suing everyone in sight. She's nuts.
She was personally responsible for releasing the technology before it was even remotely close to being ready and as a result many people (via Walgreens, for example) got wildly inaccurate results. This is playing with people's health. But she didn't care. A dangerous zealot is she.

Yes, I liked the Brienne scene, too.
I also liked what I thought would be the final scene...the newly (but not fully) reconstituted small council discussing what to do now, rebuilding and such. The camera then starts to pull back, and I thought, that's it, a good ending.
It looked like there were no nights watchmen there, only wildlings. And they decide to go back home, which didn't make sense to me as winter is coming. Maybe they want the freedom that comes from being isolated.
I briefly thought that because the Night's Watch couldn't possibly exist anymore, the whole Jon will go to the Night's Watch was just a ruse to get Grey Worm to release him.
Just watched the episodes. I really like Michael C. Hall (Six Feet Under, Dexter) but he seemed miscast here.
I hadn't known about this, either. Googling Billy Graham Queen Elizabeth brings up several articles about their friendship
What surprised me the most was how relatively few lines she had in this final season. Her role didn't seem near as prominent as I expected.
I liked the episode, but have to say I found myself nodding in agreement with everything you wrote.

If I had a dog I'd name him Syndrome. So when he jumps on someone, I'd say, "Down, Syndrome!"
'Perhaps because he squeals exactly like a pig when she punishes him?'
LOL he should have been in [i]Deliverance[/i]
I wish more people would spend their time here. Feeling nostalgic for the original IMDB message boards.
I liked the film more than you did, but there was something weird about that "behavioral economist" (whatever that may be, and despite the interesting points that he made). I didn't notice until after his 3rd scene or so that he has one side of his face clean shaven, and the other side with a beard! Haven't seen that since Kramer got bopped on the head.
From what I have read, Victoria's half-sister Feodora never took up residence in the palace, though she occasionally visited from Germany, and they had a good relationship. Turning her into a devious character is completely made up. Also, Feodora had a brother, who would be Victoria's half-brother, and he is never mentioned. But the character on the show is supposed to be the real Feodora, not an impostor.
Thanks, good answer
I thought Episode 4 was solid, my favorite so far.
An I, Claudius fan? You may be my type of girl.
Second viewing of Episode 3 I liked Palmerston better.
Funny you should mention it, I mention it in the discussion above about Season 3. I am a HUGE fan of it, but not quite comparable in terms of number of episodes. Baron von Stockmar has been written out!
Have you seen Edward the Seventh with Annette Crosbie as Queen Victoria?
