Word. I read SoS a year ago, and I've been eagerly awaiting hearing The Bear and the Maiden Fair ever since. I was so mad that it wasn't in the Sansa/Queen of Thorns scene last week that when it came on tonight I was ecstatic.

I mean, if that's the reason Martin hasn't been as busy writing, I aint blamin him.

Word. DeKnight specifically said they didn't wanna do "this season Rome sends this guy to kill Spartacus and he kills em all. Then next season they send this guy and he kills em all. Then next season they send THIS guy and he kills them all!" Over and over again. Condensing it down to just Glaber and Crassus cut…

He did the Obama bit in Phoenix as well. And I don't think Of Course/But Maybe will become CK's version of Gaffigan's "Hot Pockets" (no knock on Jim). He's never done it before with a bit, why start now?

As someone who was at the taping of one of the Phoenix shows, I can say that this special will be hilarious.

Something I think is interesting is how Spartacus's and Crassus's strengths have been put against one another. Both were brilliant tacticians, but Crassus was able to take the city near the middle of the season because Crassus was a better tactician by a hair. In their final battle, both are damn good warriors.…

"Good evening. Have you ever given any thought to the Kingdom of Heaven?"
"WHAT?"

Twitter is currently freaking out about how "Emmy worthy" this episode was.

If that's the song I'm thinking of, I absolutely despise it. They used to play it at my work all the time, and I could never get over how 0 effort was put into the line "my heart beats like a drum."

Is Sonia the AV Club's designated F giver? Not that I'm complaining, cause she's pretty boss at giving scathing reviews.

Jack Bauer trying to get back the missing Breaking Bad script=plot of the 24 movie. It's a matter of national security. "WHERE'S THE SCRIPT!?!"

What a shame. Well, we got one damn good season and one absolutely amazing one.

Americans donated around 300 billion dollars to charity in 2010. That's roughly 400 million every 12 hours. So no, we aren't as diligent as the Veronica Mars fans when it comes to giving to charity. We're roughly 200 times more diligent.
