Oh yes, Margaery is definitely invited to the party but she's the one with the palatial estate that the Two Fat Ladies roll up to and cook out of fresh seasonal produce, copious amounts of lard, and roses, natch. It's in honor of Tommen's birthday party - of course he's not king because um, he has no right to be king…

Sansa and Dany will totes become best friends and ride off on motorcycles like the "Two Fat Ladies," while Jon cuts his bony, emo ass on the Iron Throne with the dragons flying around cinematically overhead (after pooping on that big iron man in Braavos port). Hot Pocket will totally be the cook, I like that idea!

I am sorry to be that person, but it is President Woodrow Wilson, not President Woodrow. Excellent article though!

And even that is of the people they find, which is probably not everyone.

Even if you meet them eye to eye — con men have been lonelyhearting people out of money since the dawn of time (both women and men). People rarely come forward about it - they are so ashamed. At least this woman came forward and maybe this person (who knows who they are - could be woman, man, old, young — the…

I came here to say exactly this — and idealizations of small-town or rural America abound — for example, Friday Night Lights. Both cities and rural locales come off badly often. I do think, however, that despite occasional satire (or tragedies), suburbia or exurbia are represented positively, more often than cities…

Ugh, no you wouldn't (though I am sure you have). I wish I hadn't and that it didn't constantly appear on TCM.

Thanks. I know the RW does some questionable things to Gendry but — there is no way for Arya to know about them. "Death" seems like a lot for taking someone away, though I guess it seems in the scene that they are taking him for sacrifice?? But thank you for reminding me of that scene!

What's Arya's beef with the Red Woman? Not that I am a RW fan, but she's not actually on Arya's lists in the books.

Oh lord I am now bawling in public :-)

Actually, I loved that episode — it's a great example of what those writers were capable of before they destroyed their own show just for spite. And, as BallOrgana notes, it comes from before they finally got together.

What destroyed "Moonlighting" was that the show was all about banter, but the writers were incapable of figuring out wht people who were a couple might ave to banter about. There were endless silent pauses and ridiculous, shark-jumpy plot devices after they finally got together, and I'm still not over it, especially…

Yes, we can - that;s what we did, and that is why we fled. Presumably — hopefully — we are helping the nanny.

How did feminism become a dirty word? One way is that celebrities - and other prominent women, followed by the college women I encounter daily as a prof - stopped actually speaking the word in a positive sense. "I'm not a feminist but..." came to precede many statements of a feminist nature such as, "...but I…

I have — I dropped out of high school twice and out of college twice, and graduated after the third try. I'm a tenured professor now at a small private college. You get a lot more out of education as a grownup — the whole "these people are making me do stuff" dynamic from adolescence is mainly gone and you are there…

The average American woman is size 14, and most men — who are 50% of the population, thus of airline seat occupants, are as big or bigger than that. Thus, at least 75% of the adult population in the USA is "a mere size 12" or larger. Your comment is utterly gratuitous and not germane to the point of either the…

Thinking for 3 milliseconds is so 20th century, apparently.

mm, no, I'd say what's so awful is that a little boy who was probably looking forward to the first Christmas he's fully be aware of, in his jammies, was fucking murdered by his asshole father for spite.

I wish my mom had done that, frankly, or taught me how to do it myself. Instead I got called Wolfman or Ape girl and had things thrown at me. Where did the fantasy come from that children are sweet and kind?? Only when adults are around :(

Just think how much pleasure you are already giving to the CIA :-).
