"Marge on the Lam" never seems to get enough love on any "best of" lists, so I nominate whoever wrote that one, if only for the inclusion of Lionel Hutz's negotiating skills.

You'll thank him when you're Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.

The Principal and the Pauper is the obvious choice, isn't it? I don't think anyone would disagree that it marked a serious change in the direction the show was headed. By that point, it was clear that not only was it in decline, but that they didn't even intend to stay true to the original tone and canon of the…

It pisses me off to no end that this site SPECIFICALLY SET UP TWO REVIEWS for this show to cater to newbies and experts for keeping spoilers out, and some people still have a compulsive need to fucking ruin everything. Elsewhere in this thread, that guy spoiled a ton of shit.

It doesn't help that we get a re-hash of literally the exact same spiel she always gives EVERY episode she appears in: "Lord of Light… Night is dark and full of terrors…" We get it. We really do.

Well, best politician in Westeros. Dany's Emancipation Proclamation over Essos is a tough act to top.

I got it spoiled (kind of) by Facebook itself. They show in the upper right corner of your news feed the stories that are "trending" (fuck social media for assimilating me into their corporate-speak).

I'm totally with you, but…

DISCLAIMER: No, I have not so much as picked up any of the books.

Audience poll to satiate my curiosity:

I've got to admit: Abed going "full meta" is starting to become insanely annoying.

ArrestedWesteros is definitely worth a look.

At what point will the show be caught up to the books? I eagerly await that day.

I can't help but think of the allusion to Hadrian's Wall, built by Rome to keep the "barbarians" of the North at bay. So, would the Wildlings be like the proto-Scots to the North of Roman Britain?

The Hound disagrees. Every word out of his mouth at that table was just jaw-droppingly badass.

Thank you for saying it.

"And that, kids, is how I met your Macguffin."

The next season premiere, Beth bursts through the rail car door, a duffel bag of weapons over her shoulder.

It would be so freaking tedious (and entirely predictable for this show) if they turn the whole "Rick takes charge as an effective leader and father" thing into another "Does surviving mean becoming a monster yourself?" debate.
