So yeah, it’s a little stern, but there are a couple things of note:

I sympathize with Frank, even when he is sometimes a bit clueless. Part of it is that it’s not like there’s a book on how to deal with your wife being thrown back in time and tormented by a sadistic relative of yours who shares the same face as you. So yeah, I can see there being some tension there. We also don’t know…

If we can hit that bullseye, all the dominos will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate.

You’d also probably give that small-ball playing manager more than five games to make those adjustments, though.

I wonder...is this what Jared/Donald referred to as “Uncle Jerry’s Game” in Silicon Valley?

I mean, if there were ever to be a human incarnation of Totoro, you’d have a hard time coming up with a better candidate than Guillermo del Toro.

I mean, the White Walkers themselves are wearing armor, which also had to come from somewhere, and if the only thing that can actually harm them is Valyrian steel/dragonglass, why bother with that, either?

Probably siege weaponry. You can’t just lug a siege tower up to castle walls with just a thick hempen rope.

It would make sense for the Army of the Dead to have heavy-duty chains for use with siege weaponry.

It feels like being Matt Murdoch, waking up in a jail cell.

The long-standing loathing of Kinja has begun.

Yeah, I miss the old design. I also wonder how well this will differentiate itself from, say, IO9 or Giz.

I would watch the hell out of a documentary about Kluetmayer’s life, or even just one of these shots. That combination of technical ingenuity and artistic expression is always fascinating to me.

So the thing about the eclipse is that the reduced light tricks your irises to open up as if it was dark. This means when you look at the eclipse, the sunlight is still bright enough to burn your retinas in a way they would not have been burned during a normal sunny day. It’s like looking at the sun after having your…

That's exactly my interpretation.

Typically, the word “not” appears somewhere in such sentences.

I don't know, I think that just made it funnier for me, but that is just me. My wife was confused as to why I was laughing so hard at that, and frankly, I have a hard time explaining that?

That cake-cutting made me absolutely lose it. Meanwhile, we never found out what that blueprint that was literally kicking Ben's ass was. I kept wondering if this somehow involved the sinister machinations of Reagan and the Tigerclaw boys.

He's actually from Lake Stevens, which is northwestern Washington. That said, Western Washington's reputation for liberalism is due almost entirely to King County and Olympia.

The secret mystery movie was a blast. I sincerely hope they put out a version available for viewers at home, because it was just that good, and it really belongs in the MST3K canon.
