I was on the fence about Craig, but this episode sold me on him.

I don't very often laugh out loud at television, but I was downright howling at that utterly perfect Scandal montage.

I get the feeling that Courtney genuinely wants to help Joslyn, but is a little tone-deaf and doesn't know how to be less hurtful.

YES. It was so depressing to see.

It only (*only*) took me half an hour to get HBO Go working last night, which was a vast improvement over my True Detective experience.

Bran et. al. never see Coldhands' face because it's entirely covered by his cloak anyway.

As a rule, I'm pretty much on board with any changes that the showrunners make to the story. The one real exception to this is that they brought Jaime and Brienne back to King's Landing before the Purple Wedding. This really confuses a lot of various threads and character motivations. I'm holding out hope that they'll…

Only two of the six wolves are dead—Lady and Grey Wind. Ghost, Nymeria, Summer, and Shaggydog are still alive.

My guess is that Jon's and Arya's warging—or at the very least, Jon's, since Arya will be across the Narrow Sea—will show up later this season or early next season. I think they wanted to establish warging first with that one Wildling dude and with Bran.

Yikes. Not worth it, man. And I say that as someone who still shamefully watches Once Upon a Time.

I think his prose improves drastically between the first book and the second book, though I don't know why/how.

I completely disagree about what we are building to. Between the dragons and what's going on at the Wall, it seems to me like the real battle isn't over the Iron Throne, but Living vs. Dead.

Agreed. Dying offscreen (or the book version of this) is usually a pretty good indicator that GRRM is not done with that character.

One objection—Jaime didn't really "choose" the Kingsguard. The Mad King appointed Jaime as a slight to Tywin because he knew that Jaime was his best heir to Casterly Rock.

I don't think Robb married for love—he married Talisa because he had sex with her. He just happened to also love her.

*spoilers*

The first scene of this half of the season, where Walt returns to his now gated and disheveled home, he is wearing an olive green jacket that Jesse has been seen to wear. I don't know if it's a red herring or not, but it's enough to make me scared of what happens between them in the coming episodes.

This album is so damn visceral. I was walking to the bus listening to "Black Skinheads" on loudly on my headphones and I felt my heart beat faster. I just wanted to riot and break things (and I'm white as hell).

RuPaul's Drag Race is not only the best reality shows, it is one of the best shows on television PERIOD.
