Ah, seems I'd somehow forgotten about that between 3 and 4.

(HERE BE SPOILERS) The reveal of Lady Stoneheart's identity. In retrospect, I should have seen it coming, but I was so distracted by everything else it completely blindsided me.

When I was a lonely, depressed college freshman, 3,000 miles from home, Pnin being spurned by the squirrel at the water fountain made me cry on a bus. So, yes, I agree with your claim.

Yes, George, Dany is but a girl and knows not of (blank), words are wind, Snow knows nothing, and "reek" is an easy word to rhyme. That's four off the top of my head from 4 and 5 alone, and that's far from all of them. I appreciate the efficacy of motifs, but he does lay it on a little thick.

I'm wrapping up Dance with Dragons now, having read it and Feast for Crows in quick succession, and I get what you're saying. Though I ended up having a lot of fun with it, when I saw the cast of characters in FfC there was a definite interior groan. (Huge swaths of Brienne AND Samwell? And no Tyrion? Color me…

I don't agree with the "humorless" accusations McCarthy draws, either. His humor is subtle and often pitch-black - The Road being the only book of his I've read from which I can't think of any specific examples - but it's there. Child of God is brutal, but madly hilarious much of the time, and in my opinion more…

"The title story is the best so far, I spent most of it waiting for the
other shoe to drop until realizing at the end that it was on my foot the
whole time." Added to my library queue, if this sentence is accurate I will doubtlessly enjoy it.

I've been meaning to read Juliette for ages, but that 1200+ page count is daunting. Plus I don't think it'll be nearly as entertaining to read about a sinner reveling and succeeding in sin as it was to read about an innocent subjected to all manner of it. I'm probably not giving Sade enough credit, though.

I finished Feast for Crows a few days ago, and am about 100 pages from the end of Dance with Dragons, which I ordered via Amazon Prime immediately after finishing the former. I'm so glad I was an ASoIaF latecomer, because the wait between the two would have wrecked me. It's been a hell of a ride and I've loved every…

Such a good choice.

…he was eaten by wolves.

I just finished this episode yesterday, so it's a bit late, but I just want to say that you've been tearing up these comments, and I've agreed with every word you've written. Kudos.

I usually find even tasteful age make-up distracting (CGI aging equally so), and this is one of the main characters in a long adaptation of something I enjoy. Also, I'm not speaking solely of physical age - he could nail fuck-you Cassidy, but not world-weary Cassidy, IMO.

If there was a way to age him 10-15 years, he'd be perfect.

Because at one point, before making a string of truly terrible decisions, Lindsay Lohan had potential. At his best, Bieber was a smarmy tween with an average voice and a limited shelf life. I thought he'd disappear gradually rather than flame out like this, though.

I love Childrens Hospital, but him as a kid with Progeria made me want to destroy things. I just hate his face/voice/everything about him.

Eastbound is the winner, but It's Always Sunny is a close second.

Make sure to swing by the Hammock District while you're in the neighborhood.

Can't help but point out the comment/username synergy.

When Shirley said "cenobite" I did a double take and laughed throughout the bit, one of my favorite moments of either episode.
