So unless you bet on the entire remaining male
members of a certain unattractive house to die, you're likely in a big hole to start the season. How about we just start wagering on who is going to kill someone else? My money is on Arya for every episode this season.

Yes I remember, but FrankenMountains eyes and skin look just like Joffey's.

Upon witnessing all that public fornication, Daario had one of his best lines yet:
"I wish I'd been born a Dothraki."

A Stark reunion, and the Khaleesi is back. See, good things do happen to good people. The epsode's opening and close were both as satisfying as it gets. That ending was like Carrie burning down her high school prom. And how would you like your Dothraki served, rare, medium, or well done? I believe the High Valyrian…

Agreed, good analysis of how despicable characters are often compelling. Khan in Star Trek (both the original TV show and The Wrath of Khan movie) was a despicable character, but he was one of the best characters in that series to watch. So was Heath Ledger as the Joker. Richie is just despicable and very hard to…

Which is why the Cyclone from last week is the perfect metaphor; Vinyl goes up and down and round and round, but you always end up in the same place, in the middle of a decaying amusement park that was fun in its heyday but has seen better times.

Vinyl had it's chance at redemption tonight, and just like Richie Finestra, it blew it all at the roulette table. The show had an opportunity to actually become interesting, to take some creative license with Elvis' career, to mashup history and take a wild ride where no record producer or recording artist has gone…

David Schwimmer's performance is the biggest revelation in the show, and that scene with Kris was heartbreaking. People forget how central Rob Kardashian was both in the trial and in OJ and Nicole's life. As the one character who was both OJs closest friend and lawyer, he plays out the inherent conflict between those…

This was a fantastic, heart-pounding episode. Just when you think Allison couldn't get any worse, she goes all the way to the dark side to save her own skin. And yes, the documents are still important: Laura's on air speech about how the West has lost it's way after 9/11 was her best moment of the season — which…

Litvnov was a Russian chess grandmaster. The Litvinov Ruse refers to a chess maneuver in which you try to trick the opponent by sacrificing an important piece in order to win the game. In this case Allison is sacrificing her Russian handler in order to save her own skin, but soon she will be the one who is checkmated.

This is a great season and it's only getting better. The timing of the Isis and European storylines could not have been planned out better. Mandy Patinkin was on CBS Early Show today and made a more impassioned case for how to deal with this problem than we have seen from any politician. Quinn's explanation of the…

After last week's Donald Trump fiasco I had low expecatations for this show. Thank goodness they hit the reset button, and Elizabeth Banks was great. This show took SNL in the direction of In Living Color and it really paid off, less Middle America and lowbrow humor and more urban comedy. Black Jeopardy was…
