@avclub-6c6094f256f51e83fe02bce6091163e7:disqus Yeah and it really is decent, too. Surprisingly.

"One of us! One of us!"

We all changed, my friend… we all changed.

This makes it sound like @avclub-d4ff3c518d33328bfadc34f25b054267:disqus is dating @avclub-b7ee6f5f9aa5cd17ca1aea43ce848496:disqus 's daughter.

She needed to be despairing, not henpecking. The guy feels like a victim of his wife instead of the whole family being a victim of Zach Braff.

I liked it. I do think whether you do or not comes down to whether you think watching empty people is off-putting or not.

One of my favorite parts of the Baroque Cycle by Neal Stephenson is the playfully bullshit etymologies, which I take to be a skewering of folk etymology-cum-history arguments of all kinds.

I'm really sick of this stereotype of the commenters being clumsy with their RC colas.

So, my reaction to this episode was never that sad. There are a lot of ways for a dog to go out, but Seymour had something to look forward to, a job to do (a dog needs a job to be happy), someone giving him food and a place to hang out, for the end of his days. That's a pretty good life for a dog. I get that there's a…

@Scrawler2:disqus The… werecar… thing.

@avclub-eaa88660d97aa2a15400335bcf9d93ac:disqus There's that, and in general the writing staff is reduced. I think this contributes to some of the off feel of the newer series, they're literally under-written. Fewer heads breaking stories, tightening them up, adding beats and jokes, solving story and character…

The maester has to have something to make birth control pills from.

Very much this. "Free" is just a word. But it is a word that makes the chivalric class (Barristan, Jorah, Dany) feel a lot better about their army. It's also likely that freedom is something they may learn, to some extent, over time. I think the freest thing we saw was that the spear-beating did not happen immediately…

I assume it didn't earn a blue ribbon for nothing.

Yes, oh god, "Beliebfs"

This was actually the part of the episode that really clunked for me. I mean, it's a fantasy and all that, but that shot, even the first one, was ridiculous. And why would it make a lord look silly if he weren't a good archer? That's not the point of one. So the scene was meant to make him look actually incompetent,…

@avclub-58238e9ae2dd305d79c2ebc8c1883422:disqus The different musical numbers from Phineas and Ferb, some featuring fictional bands like Lindana, Love Handel, &c. are pretty good. It's pastiche but good, sometimes very good, pastiche.

@avclub-c1fe85b855c6d045b827f74a1e2c3fd7:disqus Such true advice yet like @avclub-ec581d0fa82907dc6f58d1e70bf346b0:disqus it's so obviously wrong looking from the inside out, when you're that age, and in love, or think you are.

I was going to say, if I were G.R.R. Martin this would really bother me.

I look like Edward Norton. I used to look like British comic Peter Kay (like, ridiculously like) but I lost a bunch of weight and am pretty much in Norton-ville. I'm pretty much the scout master in Moonrise Kingdom.
