I was quite drunk when I wrote whatever I did about Theon last night. It doesn't concern me whether Theon escapes humbled, pleading to become the Starks' court jester, or if he's been disappeared indefinitely to a black site in Turkmenistan.

I think it's pretty damn obvious that Theon is on a redemption arc. And I'm cool with that; he did a lot of bad shit for dumb reasons, so I think in this GoT world he'll eventually earn absolution.
…But can we just get there already a move on? I don't want to see Theon get tortured for an entire season.

Best "Hodor" yet.

Ba-doom chhhh.

Good riddance.

This is fucking awesome, thanks.

Hit a groove? That fucking sucked. I'm done.

"This is very educational."

Phil didn't even pretend to have proofread his hurried review this time. And I don't blame him; that episode was beaaaat.

Love that Myles McNutt just gets stuck with all the worst shows. He's like the Jerry of the AV Club.

That'd be the tits.

Bad Ass Motherfucker, I suppose.

I'm going to enjoy THE SHIT out of R.I.P.D.'s awfulness.

"I want to, but I'm scared!" Die, Juliette. Please. Just. Die. Already.

I purposely hedged there because it wasn't obvious that Gaad had completely green-lit the affair. I've heard similar things about the FBI, though, and it makes enough sense. The organizational culture of US bureaucracies really stymie creativity — especially the service branches — and this could easily be one such

I'm pretty sure Gaad has given Stan the OK to bang Nina in order to get them closer and thus seize more information, hence giving them their own apartment.

Immunity is immunity. The three-letter U.S. agencies have dealt happily with far slimier creatures than he.

I'm glad someone mentioned that.

" I guarantee he's really quite an evil/hardnosed guy, but he does get a job done."

That's a good point in re Arkady's bailiwick and our lack of concrete knowledge thereof; it'd be pretty damn distracting if there were a bunch of other agents to keep track of, so of course we see little of his side of things.
