The thing is though, we'll never know if Hulk Hogan v. Gawker without the involvement of Peter Thiel would have resulted in a different outcome. As soon as someone with basically unlimited resources gets involved in bankrolling lawsuits, I get concerned about the de facto purchasing of the legal system. What Gawker…

I know that Gawker is everybody's favorite punching bag example of sleaze masquerading as journalism, but this is still a really messed up thing that's happening. A billionaire with a grudge basically used a semi-disgraced former professional wrestler as his proxy to destroy a website that had the temerity to disclose…

I don't know if it's necessarily brilliant, but the opening of Revenge of the Sith (everything up and including Anakin murdering Dooku) is about a thousand times better than anything else in the prequel trilogy.

For me Crystal Skull falls apart around the time Indy and Mutt go to South America and go to the asylum where Oxley had been kept. It's at that point where the other movies would have had a puzzle for Indy to solve, a la Last Crusade's library puzzle, but instead they read Ox's scribblings, which are right there on…

The opening of Temple of Doom proves that Indy's quests didn't need to be weighed down with significance or otherworldly powers to be awesome. That was one of the huge problems with Crystal Skull—instead of awesome set pieces and puzzles, we got Big Mythology. When all I ever needed was Indy running behind a giant…

But the rest of it is still pretty good. It hits basically all of the points that 'The Walking Dead' has been beating to death for years, and it does it in 100 minutes.

So this whole Noah Galvin thing. If you don't know, Noah Galvin's the lead on 'The Real O'Neals' which is the sitcom loosely based on Dan Savage's adolescence growing up gay in an Irish Catholic household. It's cute, but it's not essential television. The show is notable because Galvin is a young, out, gay man playing…

Yeah, Littlefinger is a perfect candidate for "scrambling in terror and soiling himself as the Night King slowly approaches," next season. He's responsible for all the rampaging bullshit that's distracting everyone from the true business at hand. He deserves to die, but not in some random way.

I feel like being careful and keeping the coasters safe and talking shit about all the weirdos they encounter on their job aren't necessarily mutually exclusive. I just want a little sizzle with my sober technical descriptions.

Thank you. See, this is the kind of explanation I wanted from the interview. It makes sense, and it's interesting. It's not just like:

KF: My corporate overlords have expressly forbidden me from giving examples of any sort of entertaining misconduct that could enliven, or otherwise illustrate, this response.
AV: Sure, but…
KF: My responses have been precisely calibrated to disabuse the general public that there is any fun to be had in the amusement…

Yeah, and that sort of stuff is the bread and butter of this kind of job. Pretty much any attempt Marah made to bait her into telling a fun story was instantly deflected. I feel like I know a lot more about the technical ins and outs of rollercoaster maintenance and the operator training process, but was I…

That's kind of what I assumed too, but it still feels so draconian. Like, we're sending you all out on a thrill ride. Do NOT be thrilled.

Seriously, why aren't the associates allowed to scream when they ride the coasters? Is it a safety thing? Professional decorum? I mean, some people scream on coasters, because they can pretty scary. It's a natural reaction to fear and exhilaration.

Seriously, though. If he made it across the Narrow Sea, he's probably smithing around one of the port cities. Probably not Braavos (sorry Arya!) but maybe Pentos. Maybe waiting to get picked up by some Ironborn? Who can say, really?

He rowed himself to The Island of Abandoned Plotlines.

Yeah, I totally missed the most obvious answer there.

That's true, it would be weird for Cersei to die without having to deal with Tyrion again. I just don't know how much fun it would be to watch more Cersei Behind Bars. So either the Faith Militant gets completely destroyed, or she does somehow get away. But she really doesn't have anywhere to go. She can't just show…

It's hard to care about a bunch of greedy, craven people who'll do anything to control who's sitting on a throne that's become increasingly meaningless as the show goes on.

The question is: how quickly is it coming to an end? Has Cersei exhausted all of her story? Considering how pointless all the goings-on in Kings Landing are going to be once the White Walkers move below The Wall, they could start cleaning up the Lannister/Tyrell plots any time.
