Robert Baratheon didn't have any major losses either. This is a big point of the story - the ability to win a throne is not the same as being the best one to hold it.

This whole thing is going to end up in whatever the next "Clerks" is.

All Roose wants is a peaceful land and a quiet people.

Thank you. People give me looks when I say I liked Aliens more than Alien.

This just reminds me of how fucking hard it is to write songs as witty and catchy as the original Ashman/Menken collaborations.

True, but Kristen Connolly had a lot to do with that story working as well. Both of them did a lot to elevate the mediocre material they were working with.

You must not watch The Middle - Eder Sher is absolutely brilliant in that role. She's a 14 year old Leslie Knope with a dozen great moments of physical comedy every season.

No-one puts Bieber in a corner.

Bob "Two Coffees" Benson.

The nice thing about Game of Thrones is that if you make the prediction "I don't think this will turn out well for X" all you need to do is wait long enough, and it becomes true.

Ned was good at honor, and a good man. He was one of us.

My reading of the last scene was that this is exactly what was going through her head. She was seeing her hypocrisy clearly for the first time.

That's incredible.

Absolutely. Her, Margulies and Czuchry (as well as the writers) consistently rise to the occasion of meaty storylines.

Skrillex just burned out the clutch on his Trans-Am!

Guess they couldn't…

Unlike most other "popular science" people, Tyson isn't flagrantly misrepresenting the truth when he talks about science at a basic level. That's really, really hard to do.
