How important is it to watch S7 E6 "The Goldberg Variation"?

Should be seen on every watch & rewatch

Required viewing, recommended for rewatch but not essential

You should watch it at least once, but after that fair game

Depends on how much time you have, if need be can skip

This episode is entirely superfluous, okay to skip

This episode is superfluous AND sucks, SKIP

This episode sucks, but is necessary, WATCH

[sunny-snufkin]

at this point in GoT I'm just hoping that the Starks stay alive. I don't really care about the rest

I just watched the leaked episode and quite honestly, I didn’t  understand either Arya or Jon. From your grace to Dany to my queen in a matter of few seconds. No thoughts for his people. Explain to me if you have a theory, I’m listening.

Who's the better one-off character? (Loser's Bracket Round 2)

Detective Glen Chao (played by B.D. Wong in "Hell Money")

Ritchie Lupone (played by Shia LaBeouf in "The Goldberg Variation")

Detective Glen Chao: It's BD Wong!!! Shang Li! I'm still salty that they ended making him [episode spoilers] a dirty cop (and by proxy endorsing Mulder & Scully's initial distrust of him) because his point about the divide between ABCs (American born Chinese) and FOBs (Fresh off the boat) really hit hard as someone who is also of Chinese descent and from SF. Deserved better. At least better than getting killed off at the end of the episode.

To jog your memory, here are the episodes they're from:

Hell Money: A string of mysterious deaths of recent Chinese immigrants brings Agents Mulder and Scully to San Francisco's Chinatown. The Agents team up with a Chinese-American detective to better understand the language and customs of the Chinese culture, but one thing remains frighteningly clear—all of the bodies are missing various internal organs.

The Goldberg Variation: After being thrown off a building and surviving, Henry Weems, who appears to be the luckiest man in the world, attracts the attention of Mulder and Scully. But, if he is so lucky, why is he on the run from the mob, and why is everyone around him so unlucky?

Henry Weems: Such a fascinating, almost fairytale-like visual portrayal of luck onscreen. Very Pushing Daisies.

Ronnie Strickland: Honestly, if being an actual [episode spoilers] vampire turned out to be super lame, I would also put in fake fangs and do all the stereotypical stuff for funsies

Bad Blood: While investigating bizarre exsanguinations in Texas, Mulder kills a teenage boy whom he "mistakes" for a vampire. Awaiting a meeting with Skinner, Mulder and Scully attempt to get their stories "straight" by relating to each other their differing versions of what happened during their investigation.
