…suddenly I feel glad I have no memory of that scene. Either that means I got out in time or one of my memory suppression techniques actually worked.

THAT was a place I sunk more time back in high school than it probably deserved…

Sonny Bono was another success story

Gonna vote to split the difference here. The episode has its moments.

These days, I'm trying - really trying - to be less snap judgmental and looking down on others.
…but fuck it, if a state appoints a governor whose best rhyme for 'things' is 'things', then they deserve the eventual Running Man-meets-Bartertown style of hell that awaits them.

Look at it this way, it at least means he's likely to abandon his ambition to become president soon in favor of his mad Thomas Harris-grade designs as a psycho killer.

Slightly more awkward in her tape is that Q-Bert was trying out for one of the libertines at the time.

The fact that's your first pick kind of highlights the problem.

That's another one of those weird discrepancies in how the show looks at the character.
The show basically gave the impression Stannis knew that whole plan was going down and presumably signed off on it.
As GRRM presented it, there's a lot more of an ambiguity as to how much Stannis knew of what was going on. He talks…

At this point I'm really on the fence about where Arya's plot is heading.

Truth? Baelish and Varys are members of Westeros's Speed Force.

Even that still hits a snare - Jon and a small army of wildlings who are all well aware you want to burn your dead for this exact reason.

I found it kind of morbidly amusing to have a pop star guest to be the first singing a song that, in the books, was probably most famously used to underscore the scene of Tyrion strangling his ex-lover/whore to death.

To which the show goes "Who? Oh…OH, the guy who gave us Davos! That's right!"

The more I think about it, the more a part of me can't shake the bizarre impression that, in light of the advanced age of ringleaders like Trump and McConnell, we're looking at a group of powerful old men realizing the world will continue turning after they're gone…and resenting the FUCK out of that idea.

So…may we now infer that Donald is, himself, actually a mutated Guildsmen on his way to navigator status? And if so, his grotesque, fleshy frame is actually proceeding right on schedule?

I feel slightly LESS inclined to give this one to Eisenberg. His Lex is still bad, but we never heard stories about Affleck and Gadot wanting to murder him for being obnoxiously method behind the scenes, so he at least edges ahead with a professionalism point.

I'm just going to offer the following to call the Oscars into question:

I'd also argue the Lazarus Pits put his health care plans ahead of Trumpcare.

I'm willing to admit it - when I first saw this, my immediate response was to put on, and crank up, some Stan Bush
