I'll be the dork that still likes them, I guess. At least Blood Sugar Sex Magic them. 

I'm your age and had a similar reaction. Betting it's generational?

Anything Busey does that's actually amusing, ie threatening to harm people in physically impossible but anatomically specific ways, will be played on The Soup, or failing that, linked here.

I left after we found out what was in the barn and I happened to check back in on this episode. Meh.

I guess it's better that the guy gets paid to waste his talents on Boardwalk Empire and Community than the conventional means of ignoring someone.

People at Winter Is Coming were saying it was Tormund Giantsbane like they were sure.

I'm not envisioning the Queenscrown thing will take that long to play out on screen. It just seems like the writers will want to take some oppurtunities to weave together storylines that were separate in the books, like having Littlefinger and Catelyn visit Renly at the same time.

If this show actually makes it to air, I'm going to finally get some use out of my Governeur Morris gimmick account. 

I love, love, love the Tyrion journey down the river. Maybe I like giant turtles more than most men, but I really like that description of new lands. Plus I tend to think Tyrion's observations about the people he was on the boat with are fairly important for future plots.

Sorry, man. Book 3 is where Hodor expands his vocabulary to include "No Pants."

MILD SPOILERS/SPECULATION
There was no particular reason that Theon had to disappear for as long as he did, it's just an artifact of the POV nature of the books and, maybe, Martin's desire to be cliff-hangery. Presumably we'll just see the stuff happening that we hear about in the first Reek chapter of A Dance With…

They also seem to be playing Tyrion's relationship with Shae differently in the show which works a lot better if he looks like Peter Dinklage rather than Book Tyrion.

K. Thrace,
Perhaps Lindsay is the girl that we now realize we should have been into in high school, but at the time weren't.

Yikes, good point. That's some Tom Friedman shit.

I'd hate to have missed out on the Green Album. After Maladroit would have been the place. It wasn't terrible, but it kind of sounded like the golden age of Weezing was over, so people wouldn't be tormented by visions of greatness cut short.

The iPod era also makes it extra easy to forget that things like the post-Danzig Misfits happened. If my library doesn't know about it, it's pretty easy to pretend it didn't happen.

He used to be an occasional guest on NPR. I remember him giving unsolicited financial advice to Kelly Clarkson.

The poor anaconda, he had such specific preferences.

@avclub-976e5a7c9f5586745269c99891652285:disqus I always loved the story about Nirvana being overjoyed that Al was going to do 'Smells Like Nirvana.'

@avclub-f7f8eb12e0f61a9321597157c0d61791:disqus The Out of the Wild franchise is probably the closest TV can go to that. They're not letting the cast die, obviously, but they seem to really be starving.
