Banshee (a crazy action series on Cinemax).  Did you see Banshee?  I'll never get that image out of my head…..

I doubt the animal rights nuts wouldn't let them show the bear getting killed.  They clearly wouldn't even let them show Ygritte killing a buck for them to eat.  There's no point in killing the bear without showing us why and how.

I was horrified for a brief second that that's what he was going to say.

Everybody say it together: Jon Snow is not dead.  No POV character has been permanently killed during their own POV chapter.  Mel can easily give him the kiss of life, or perhaps she already glamoured someone and it wasn't even Jon Snow that got stabbed.

It said "I am not Jeyne Westerling so stop trying to find proof that I'm a Lannister spy - not that anyone knows for sure that Jeyne Westerling was actually a Lannister spy."

Well, I didn't say you exaggerated and you ended several sentences with an exclamation point which comes across as yelling like all caps - not to mention the mock surprise, which is a hallmark of strong feelings like anger.

No, it's always been Fred Armisen making up lyrics and Kristen Wiig following along.

OMG, that would be the best thing ever.  I hope you're right.

Dude, you write one of those up every week.  Why?  Didn't the site do a good enough job recapping it for you, or do you think that we're missing out on more pertinent recap details because the AV Club isn't doing its job?

I agree about Garth and Kat, the Target lady, and Dooneese (she just grosses me out), but Gilly was there for one second (and I've always liked her as the perfect example of a living cartoon character).

The best kind of failed SNL sketch is the one that must have looked great on paper, but is terrible in practice.  For me, those sketches and the truly great ones are just two sides of the same coin.

Harmless, fun, and boring are the 3 words I'd use to describe that episode.  Sleepy might be another one.  I had basically checked out by the acupuncture skit (and I never check out on SNL), but was impressed with their willingness to go for the closest thing to true gore I've ever seen on SNL.  The gross-out sketch…

They're not speaking English.  They're speaking the Common Tongue of Westeros.

Oh, I know.  I hate it too, but since it's here to stay, I felt like I had to do something.

Not sure why I'm putting this here, but here it is:

Wasn't one of them limping?  Isn't there a Lame Lothar somewhere in the Frey brood?

So ass Iron-born then?

Goddamn, you know more about the gay sex practices of pre-18 century Europe that I know about anything.

To me, I could care less and I couldn't care less almost mean two different things.

That's why I hate words like gorget.  I know how it's supposed to be pronounced, but, like you said, there is no France.  So instead of "gor-shay" or whatever, they must be saying "gor-get."
