Know what I'm sayin'?

The Comfy Chair!

Keanu?
Whoh.

Keanu?
Whoh.

This episode would have been at least a "B" if Hamlin had played himself. An "A" if he'd done so with his Perseus perm.

Lucas buys that Daniel Craig movie "Defiance", replaces Jewish partisans with Ewoks.

"But how could they be flying barrage balloons if they don't know we're…coming."

Miss.

I was at this panel at Comic-Con. The footage was pretty cool and creepy, and Val Kilmer was surprisingly funny. Coppola trying to select the scenes to play was slightly painful. (Think of your 68-year-old dad, trying to get that goddamn movie to play on the YouTubes.)

Davos = Liam Cunningham
Good choice. Old enough, is missing parts of his fingers. (I made that up.)

Let me be the first…
…douchebag/nerd to point out that Stannis is not Robert's older brother, at least in the novels. Mayhaps that's been changed for the show. Either way, perfect casting.

Sean, everyone…I know you gentlemen have been through a lot, but when you find the time, I'd rather not spend the rest of this winter TIED TO THIS FUCKING COUCH!

Sean - yeah, it's a weird trailer; I have a friend who's working on the film (did lighting stuff for the Utah shoots), and most of the special effects have yet to be shot, so I'm guessing they just slapped whatever footage they had ready together to get it out this weekend.

NOAH WYLE IN SPAAAAAAAACE
Also, if memory serves, Burroughs is in "A Princess of Mars", talking about the death of his Uncle Jack - John Carter.

Something something Drago something something training montage something something Karate Kid.

To your follow-up: "Falling Skies" is entertaining, but it raises lots of questions, such as how Noah Wyle found an AK-47 in the suburbs of Boston, and why it never seems to run out of ammo.

Get that kid a can of Jesus Juice.
Too soon?

Real horse, fictional book: Richard Adams' Traveler. The Ranyhyn also kick ass.

The Beef
THE BEEF.

The premise collapses under any kind of thoughtful scrutiny. There are apparently no U.S. military forces of any kind fighting, even though the show establishes that the aliens are very killable (no "Independence Day"-type force fields). So the aliens somehow managed to wipe out every single active and reserve duty…
