Don't forget Jon Snow on your list of poor casting choices!  He's possibly the most egregious one.

You and me both.  Although based on the preview we're going to have to wait another week.  That kind of makes sense, since that would mean Martin would have written both the Battle of the Blackwater and the House of the Undying (he writes next week's episode).  Maybe they're just trying to avoid spoilers, though.

So, OK.  I got home from the office and watched the Pilot and Introduction to Finality.  And I've reversed my thinking on Season 4.  No, I don't think it will be as good as the Harmon-helmed seasons.  And yes, I think Harmon had a plan and it's a travesty that we won't get to see it.

It was supposed to be the darkest season.  It's just going through some stuff right now…

Oh absolutely, absolutely (this response would make more sense if I could remember the episode where Troy says that).

I'm going to watch the Pilot and Introduction to Finality back to back and weep into a beer.

This is awesome.  And while I am a pretty new and infrequent guest at this movable feast of a party, I am so down to help out with entries like "The Puppet" and "Some Worries," if you'll have me.

Given the conflict tangential to Harmon's departure, I think the casting would actually be Jeff Winger (Chevy Chase) and Pierce Hawthorne (Kevin James).  Plus special guest star Larry the Cable Guy as a tow truck operator!  It's a "Cars" reference, guys!

Well the whole point of the video game was to capture a crystal.  And Gilbert's character spends most of his game-screen time adjusting his glasses.  There may have been other things, but I didn't pick up on them, either.

Excellent choice, here's mine:
