"You had a tough day at the office, so you come home, make yourself some dinner, smother your kids, pop in a movie, maybe have a drink. It's fun, right? Wrong. Don't smother your kids."

I was wondering about that. How do the shooting schedules work? Psych obviously has a limited seasonal run over a different time frame than the average network show, so I was hoping Lawson wouldn't have issues shooting both shows.

Maggie Lawson has a network show? Good for her.

It really feels like Touch debuted five years ago and hasn't aired an episode since.

I no longer have the impressive tonal whiplash of going from "Pscyh" to "The Americans" on Wednesdays.

There's probably a pretty funny bit to be written with Hodor's actor coming on and eloquently discussing sequestration while Seth Meyers just wants him to say "HODOR!"

Sebastian Spence!

The scene where Martha finds out that this is all a sham is going to SUUUUCK to watch.

That's a pretty cool story. I always like those moments of unexpected and incongruous eloquence and wit.

"Blackledge hasn't played for the Chiefs since 1988, but he's still the last Chiefs QB draft pick to win a game for the team."

The musically inclined obviously know him for far better things, but I'll always like Richie for "Tex's Lament" off the Tex Murphy: Pandora Directive game. I dearly loved that song.

"Next week, Ryan discusses the social justice implications of Plato's 'Republic' with Harvard professor Michael Sandel, then swims."

I didn't like Natalie Dormer in her first few episodes last season. I normally don't go for explanations like "trying to find her feet" (or sea legs or the tone of the show or whatever vague, meaningless phrase one prefers), but it really seemed appropriate for her initial appearances. Her first scene, where she's…

Reading it reminds me of the classic MST3K line, "This is where the fish lives."

I was trying to figure out what Phillip looked like in his disguise, and I kept coming back to Castro. But that didn't seem right.

This is pretty much just going to be a thread where we list the great burgers we've eaten, isn't it?

In fairness, that's pretty much what you're supposed to be doing with your wife on your wedding night, isn't it?

Anyone else remember the great scene at the end of the season three finale for "The West Wing" where Bartlett and Richie finally meet? And Bartlett ends it up by saying, "In case you were wondering, 'Crime, boy, I don't know,' was when I decided to kick your ass."

It's been a while, but I think Edmure's depiction in the books is less pure sniveling moron and more well-intentioned weakling with an unfortunate penchant for whining. There are a couple of paragraphs about Edmure's decision to allow the peasants to take refuge in Riverrun.

Well, yes, that's why I said it was the most light-hearted episode of the series, not the most light-hearted episode of anything or even actually light-hearted.
