I constantly get the feeling that these "years-long summers and winters" aren't really thought through that much.

That's maybe a little harsh on Asha? I get the "build a fleet" thing but, she was arguing for a change from overextended crap to "live in the world" pragmatism, which is roughly her approach in the book.

I actually liked the horse thing better.

Correct. I think if you have to "work it out" it's not a spoiler. I think this is fine, because it actually is ambiguous.

That's your conclusion but it's not really warranted with just those two pieces of information. Hodor could be tricked into killing someone unexpected, or (with the show's multiple storylines) there can be two noteworthy scenes or events. If you want to avoid spoilers, I suggest not analyzing headlines too much and not…

I don't believe in a time-based limit. To me it's more about content. And I don't think every piece of information about a work is a spoiler. I think only these things are spoilers:

Horse-race coverage has achieved a new level of meta, when we're comparing ratings of teaser trailers.

I assume you don't mean the good Astoria, in Oregon?

If bestiality is wrong because a dog can't consent to sex, why isn't dog breeding equally (or doubly) bad?

I enjoy shooting sports and hate the ideological conformity of "gun people". I can't stand the NRA, but own and use firearms.

For some reason Jon Snow has to gut him himself in the next episode.

"Them all" is a pretty good answer, but it's a moving target. Starlord and Iron Man have achieved "I have worn the costume" distinction.

I actually love Dennings and think she's wasted on 2 Broke Girls, but she is not of noble bearing and probably wrong for Power Girl.

Hm, we should store these duplicate backup copies somewhere safe. Maybe in this pair of nice cans?

I also have a 12-year-old boy, can confirm both the crack-like appeal and the utility of such people in explaining anything I've forgotten about the plot of the movies (and all other Marvel properties except the Netflix TV shows).

They're all voodoo dolls of real pigs, frogs and eagles that various voodoo practitioners had beefs with over the years. At some point, Baron Samedi got fed up with everyone's shit, and the cloth dolls rose up and killed their voodoo masters.

The only way this would work would be to play some slow piano music as he slowly walks down the road to the next town.

I have a Beef Burger for you. And a 90-calorie Cheese Cake.

I'll take that over what they gave him to do in Eye in the Sky, sheesh.

As a kid, I loved loved loved Time Bandits because it was the first fantastic adventure I ever saw that didn't try to make me feel good about it all the time.
