Drogo, but I think he'd have to actually use a sword. 

I always took Arnold's Conan as the strong, silent type, not stupid.

Drogo also didn't follow the treatment Mirri Maz prescribed. I've read the books twice and I don't think it's clear either way.

I remember the film critic for Time of all places calling it out in his review that it was pretty distracting for him because it was very obviously not Streep. 

I think the idea was that Simon and River were supposed to be vaguely part Asian.

At the price of one Showtime, which I already paid for, dollars, they were pretty okay. 

I thought the conventional wisdom was that it was pretty enjoyable if you just forget that it's supposed to be a Hellblazer movie?

Sword fights are kinda my thing. Long shots of Scottish scenery are another of my things. I thought the Picts fireball attack was pretty awesome, too. The characters, less so.

I just caught up with Centurion. Fassbender was typically good in that, as was Dominic West. Good, solid action movie. Not great, but good. Maybe Neil Marshall can be Fassbender's piece on the side?

I suspect that the sort of chemical changes, say, my nicotine addiction (I quit, but just typing the word makes me want a cigarette after 13 months) makes in the brain are fundamentally different than all the things where we're just pressing the dopamine button. It's a naturally-occurring chemical versus something we…

Yeah, it sounds like some bullshit. And it's widely pushed by Christian anti-sex and/or porn types. Maybe in 2112 they'll release a future Road to Wellville about people who believed in it in 2011. And maybe it'll be better than the one we got, too.

Shooting Otis was scummy, but not the worst thing in the world. I think Shane was right to calculate that they both weren't getting out of there. He could have pointed that fact out to Otis and, I dunno, done rock, paper, scissors to see who died and who lived.

I'd have seen Merle as the type to buy his younger brother a cheap, meth-addicted hooker at some point in time. Maybe he did, but Daryl was too young, shy or decent. 

He doesn't like to think of his stepdaughter having sex with someone at the best of times, plus the walker barn related tension, plus he told her not to, plus he's an old southerner. Seems pretty believeable to me.

This is the bit of information Handlen leaves out of the review. Dale knows, presumably, that Shane was sleeping with Lori and then sees him appear to seriously consider murdering Rick in cold blood when he thinks no one is looking. He's got good reason to be suspicious of Shane and then he notices the inconsistencies…

The real smart move would have been to shoot Shane as soon as it was clear he was about to unleash a barn full of walkers because he was pissed. 

Oh, good. It's the least interesting and least dramatic possibility.

Yeah, he was a vet, so he'd probably have given each zombie an index card with breed, owner's phone number, spay or neuter status, vaccinations etc. 

Yeah, people seem really confused by the episode, even though the show explained the lame twist. What the huge distinction between gangbangers and dudes who front like gangbangers but weren't gangbangers before the zombie apocalypse exactly is another question, but the show wanted to make sure we got it.

They're all weirdly confident in everyone's deodorant.
