The only reason to keep bringing Wayne Brady back is on the tiniest, slimmest chance they reference his Chappelle Show appearance and have him go full psycho.

Few random thoughts from only watching the first couple of dances:

Truly one of the greatest Onion entries.

You forgot one thing Chief.

I'm an idiot.

"then they hold the guy in a fairly uncomfortable place for as long as they can get away with before letting him go" - they hold him in the back of a Volkswagen?

How many volumes are we talking about? Like Encyclopedia Britannica? Or Wheel of Time?

Oh, look, ugly-naked-guy learned how to comment on The AV Club!

@RedScarab:disqus, you nailed it. An acknowledged high born bastard has the last name of their region, as everyone else has described. I don't think there are too many instances of a high born mother knocking boots with a low born, so your last point doesn't have an established answer, but you are probably right.

Unless the book reader was smart enough to have done this for the past two years, maybe having the camera operated by an adorable puppy that every one came to know and love. Let's name the puppy "Mr. McInnocent". And then over the past two years, everyone in the room comes to accept Mr. McInnocent as one of them,…

Good news everybody…

When I first read that comment, I read "virgintillion", which in retrospect is a perfect way to describe the AV Club.

Great write up Tasha, and great job avoiding anything that could remotely be considered a spoiler. I love the idea of two sides of Martin battling each other as he writes each page; one, the cynic wanting to kill every character and destroy hope, the other romantic side working to preserve the characters and give them…

I have the exact same top three, but there is no way I can actually put them into an order. Call 'em 1a, 1b, and 1c.

You are operating under the false impression that there are "good guys". In this world, and in the real world, we have been conditioned to think that there is a good side and a bad side. In truth, most of the times it is just two bad sides, with one slightly less crappy.

Arya's is named Nymeria.

Oh you poor naive bastard. At this point, just assume every one you love and care about on the show is toast; it will make the next 4 years that much easier.

Trogdor would be a welcome GoT addition.

@Nudeviking:disqus, we'll need socks. I'll get socks.
