While it does seem like SAG is taking this latest offer seriously, they do have some things to iron out, and they’re planning another meeting. Meanwhile, it took until November for Hulu to renew The Bear. Why? Are they that hard up? The series is projected to win Emmy’s this year for the streamer. They literally can’t afford to lose the show, not with Handmaid’s Tale going into its final season. Their only other prestige show would be Only Murders In The Building.

I really wanted to see Chuck lose for once. I thought the episode was terrific, but I wish he hadn’t been rescued so quickly. He’s not the hero of this tale, he just thinks he is. He frequently gives his dad a pass for a lot of things he detests in other people. But, as we head into the final season, all i wanna know is can Taylor have a spinoff?

This was a tough episode. Tyrion on trial. The worst was watching Shae dragged into all of that, and the pain it caused Tyrion. I’m sure if Tyrion wrote all the rules, and it was his kingdom, Shae would be Queen. I have no doubt that his decision to end the trial and go trial by combat was to stop what Shae was clearly having to say.
Episode Grade: A
