SPOILER  
Bob K isn't joking.  You have to see it to believe it.  Thank god Pearce is funny throughout, and Grace not as annoying as usual.  After a while you give up and go with all of the rampant stupidity ("hey, let's unfreeze the MOST insane convict to grant an interview with the President's daughter") and treat it

There can be only one

Are you North Korean by chance?  Because that threat's not going to carry much weight now.

I cannot answer you, because it’s totally unknown to me what you just asked me, and also very boring.

Yes it was great to see Madchen again!  I had the biggest crush on her in "Twin Peaks".  After that she was mostly in garbage (though I kind of liked the goofy "Dream Lover"), so nice to see her still looking fine and being in something good!

I really thought she had black hair in the books.  I'll have to go back and see. But the actress seems like she has that Asha devilishness to her, so she should be fun.

Varys for King!

I'm still not sure about showing the Melissandre scene.  It's going to pay off big time, but it was always semi-mysterious in the book about her relationship with Stannis and how she got him to "impregnate" her.  This scene was pretty obvious, and made Stannis look weaker than his usual by-the-book self.

IRS.  The tattoos are the give away.

Curse you Banzai!  Don't-a you know-a what you are saying?

Michael Jackson and the Chamber of Secrets

I'm just waiting to see how newbies will respond to the revelation that Robert didn't kill Rhaegar at the Trident.  Instead he cast him forward into the future in another dimension, where he lives as an accountant named Ray Targett, and is hopelessly in love with his boss' sister, Rhianna Stark.  His dreams are

GRRM probably says "Damn!  I forgot to kill that guy!  Yeah go ahead!"

* Spoilers obviously *  God I so loved the Red Viper - he jumped to my #2 favorite right away, and then….cut down in his moment of triumph.  Even amidst all the other cruelty that Martin heaps on his characters, that really sucked and pissed me off for days.

Actually I'm excited that Asha's finally coming - hope she's as badass and funny as in the books.  But I heard that they are changing her name since they are afraid people will confuse it with Arya, which sucks.

Scott Mitchell the ex-Dolphins and Lions quarterback?  Wow, he has really hit hard times…

If It's Tuesday, This Must Be TITANS!

I saw Waters on the last Wall tour (indoors) - it was really good.  You won't be disappointed.

Gary Stevens is his name - yes a big ex-jockey, and doing really well here.  He was in "Seabiscuit" as well as an opposing jockey.

It was fun - and it had Caesar and Antony together again from "Rome", which was entertaining.
