Also loved the Lysa Arryn quip that Varys made.

I actually see R'hllor as the closest comparison to Judeo-Christian religion in the real world. It has a "good god", an "evil being", the belief in an afterlife, a belief in monotheism…there are plenty of differences as well, but it's closer than any other religion in ASOIAF.

I wish they'd brought Crixus back here similar to how they brought back Oenomaus for when Naevia was dying. He was always the second lead and his story along with Naevia was second only to the main plot, but did he get so much as a mention?

Sassy gay people saying "bitch" will always have a place on TV.

@avclub-6eff75e7ea1e4eaecc24df1ca043de61:disqus I never really felt Martindale's character in Justified was really supposed to be a real meancing figure. (S2 Spoilers) Obviously in the S2 premiere she killed Loretta's father, but what did she really do from there on that was all that menacing? She was involved in…

That whole "play fort that's bigger on the inside" thing brought to mind a really creepy Joe Hill short story I read called "Voluntary Committal".

I still have trouble believing he isn't somehow related to Zach Braff.

Two days ago, I forgot my cell phone in a liquor store,and yesterday, I realized the day before had been my brother's birthday, and I'd forgotten to call him.

Or a little too late. Imagine if he had shown up in Season 2?

And not a single mention of Lulu?

I hated that whole Cheryl thing with not understanding if Mallory was really "there". I mean, she's never been the smartest person, but that was some "Kevin on The Office"-level idiocy right there.

I know the idea that someone has a different opinion than you can be scary, but try not to worry.

This show can not do an interesting fluff or table setting episode to save its life, but when it gets to a payoff or a stand alone episode, it can produce some great TV. Tonight is a good example of this - a fantastic, tight chase episode that manages to build some great tension throughout.

You bring up good points, and might be right. Maybe my issue isn't with the characters becoming one-dimensional, but just a lack of continuing characterization. I don't think the size of the cast really makes a difference here, there are about the same number of interactions in a given episode as before, but I do…

Well, the show doesn't exactly strive for accuracy in fighting prowess. In real life, the Roman army was the best trained, most organized force in the world, but in the show, they offer about as much resistance to the gladiators as practice dummies.

I know I'm going to be "that guy", and I should add a disclaimer that I do enjoy this show, but I think it has gone downhill with each subsequent season, for a few reasons.

I agree the overall episode was pretty weak for American Dad. But how is there not a single mention of the opening scene of Stan trapped in Sexpun's bullet wound? It's one of the best visual gags I think this show has ever done.

The ridiculousness of the yelling is something I'm in love with. I like to imagine the actors are thinking about the most mundane things when acting out those scenes, like if they need to take out the trash.
