I think show-Varys might look a bit better because he's more directly contrasted with Littlefinger, who is the biggest bastard in the world.

Oh Penny. I like the idea, but even as someone who generally really enjoyed book 5 she was the worst part.

You need to decide how you're going to refer to him if "Ser Robert Strong" shows up. Gregorstein and Qyborg are the two nicknames I've seen most frequently, I prefer Qyborg myself.

I'm pretty sure we're still going to get the attack of the greyscale zombies, based upon Gilly's description of them. And I think it will still take most of the season for Tyrion to get to Mereen, since we're 20% of the way through the season and he's not even in Volantis yet. Give him another episode for the…

If I had more faith in the showrunners I'd wholeheartedly agree. But they're the ones that gave us "Let's have Jaime rape Cersei!"

Yes, because that Night's Watch election was so superior to the book version. And because the Mereen plot is now a simplistic joke instead of an actual meditation (which sure, some people find dull) on how to change the entire nature of a nation and the limits of power.

More likely the show runners just decided they wouldn't matter in the future and so why keep mentioning them?

Shouldn't that be "ruling over any country"?

A- is way too kind.

You're a twerp.

This deserves at least as much an honor as Bill O'Reilly's Polk.

would you get burned by the… twat lava?

"Well this is my gorramn den, and I don't like the way you look down on me. I'm above you! Better than! Businessman, see? Roots in the community."

I actually sing this every time I build a city in Catan, for largely the same reasons.

TDS averages 2m viewers per show. LWT averages 4.5m. Even with the 4 shows a week vs. 1 I don't think TDS significantly outstrips LWT, and LWT has been far more successful in the past year in social media sharing.

Not a single mention anywhere in the comments about Supersize Me? Despite the fact that it's been repeatedly debunked?

wait, who are the AV Club's siblings? The Onion and Clickhole? Why would they be mad at them?

February 8th. I'm both delighted to have it back and terrified that it means the Bugle will stop being a weekly show. If you like John Oliver, you need to listen to the Bugle: https://soundcloud.com/the-…

I actually liked the Booker response. Everyone knew it was bullshit, and I laughed at how fast Wilmore shut him down. Talib Kweli had the toughest question to answer because of the format, Outkast had it straight with "She said she thought Hip Hop was only guns and alcohol/I said 'Oh hell naw!' but yeah it's that too."
