I always figured the point of Chocolate and Cheese was to give not particularly creative teens something to masturbate to.

Transformer comes the closest to being good. It's a pretty badass Mick Rock photo, buried under a really unfortunate filter. His actual self-titled debut record though, that takes the cake for sheer hellish eyeball melting horror.

Theon's pretty much beyond redemption at this point. After sacking Winterfell, faking the deaths of Bran and Rickon (but, you know, still murdering two little kids), and now being too callow to help Sansa, the only thing he could really do is die quasi-heroically. Ideally while confessing that Bran and Rickon are…

Honestly, for me it's Nevermind by Nirvana. I had a copy when it came out and lost it somewhere along the way. Every time I pick it up in consideration of buying it again, the cover stops me cold. It's just such a sneering, simplistic message: check out this baby swimming after that dollar bill! On a hook! It's about…

I completely agree. I have my doubts that Sansa will kill Ramsay herself, simply because the show seems horrifyingly committed to putting her through as much suffering as possible. Maybe she stabs Ramsay and he pursues her, weakened, only then to be beheaded by Brienne. Or something.

I wish unpredictable meant randomly bringing Katya back and her winning, rather than overlooking all of Ginger's negatives and tossing her the crown.

Sigh. So Sansa reaches out to Theon for help and he turns her in to Ramsay. Looks like Brienne's going to have to swoop in and take care of business. I mean, Sansa's got that… what was it, like a corkscrew or something? Some kind of itsy little tool that she grabbed for the neck time Ramsay is conducting his nightly…

Since there's no recap for the clip show (not that there should be) some final thoughts:

Oh yeah, I'm not saying Sansa has to literally do the whole thing herself. I just want her to be an active participant, not slung over Theon's shoulder or something.

I'm hoping that even if she rubs people the wrong way some of the seasoned players are able to respect her love and knowledge of the game. If anyone has ever deserved another chance to play with people who'll actually let her, it's her.

I don't see why Sansa would have to use violence or "action" to save herself. She could use her wits, she could conceive of some way to take down Ramsay without having to get into a sword fight with him. If Theon wants to help her do it, great. I just don't want it to turn into a situation where Sansa hangs out…

No, it would still be horrible. But I want Sansa to be the agent of her own salvation and revenge, rather than just another damsel in distress to give Theon a heroic moment.

Ugh, I had forgotten most of that. Including that Brandon was actually on two seasons. I guess it's easier sometimes to just glaze over and forget.

I was very satisfied with how Caramoan ended, so maybe I'm not remembering all the unpleasantness. There was Brandon Hantz creeping on all the women and basically having a sexual breakdown over how much he was being tempted, and there was Phillip Sheppard redux, but I don't remember anything else. For me even Brandon…

Well, sure, but he was basically "Hey, I've arranged your marriage to a sadistic psychopath in order to give you (me) claim to Winterfell." He could have at least had a pre-wedding night pep talk with Sansa, something to the effect of, "Maybe part of your deep cover subterfuge should be pretending to try to like this…

The thing about Shirin is that she just seems to rub people the wrong way. Whether it's that she's a.) a woman, b.) a successful woman, c.) a successful woman of color or d.) just really weird and socially awkward. Personally I think it's a magical blend of all four, with a big emphasis on d.). It's going to be really…

I've only spent time with Dan with the comforting barrier of the TV screen between us and I hate him, so I can only imagine how obnoxious he must be in person. I hate Dan more than I hate Will; Will doesn't seem to know any better, but Dan seems like a smart guy who just has a huge inferiority complex. Actually, no:…

What bothers me about Sansa's rape is that it basically invalidates all of Littlefinger's training - he set up the marriage, surely he knew that part of that would be the wedding night, and what Sansa would be asked to do. Maybe he wasn't aware of the extent of Ramsay's perversity, but c'mon, that would be the first…

I mean, I'm not hoping for a low-conflict, uber-polite show. That's obviously never going to happen. I just need a break from, you know, the relentless misogyny and stupidity.

Well, I'm glad that's over.
