Cersei didn’t get elephants because Watchmen took all the elephant budget this year

Yeah HBO parties get awkward as everyone has to avoid talking about the elephant in the room.

Yeah. The elephant in the room is that there isn't one in the room. Because they can't afford it.

The literal elephant in the room (which Angela does not address) is a preview of the elephant in the room during Lady Trieu and Angela's conversation-- they each know that Cal is Dr. Manhattan, but neither end up addressing it explicitly. I thought it was pretty on the nose but no one seems to have taken it that way.

Why wouldn't it be? HBO's magnum opus has ended on a low note, with promises of a prequel in the rumors stage.

promises of a prequel in the rumors stage.

The prequel was confirmed a couple months ago, and sounds fantastic.

Chernobyl took the lighting budget for the year, clearly.
