@avclub-98470000dfdbcbccf2c7cd42d80955ae:disqus : We catch a glimpse of Tickler in the preview for next week. Looks like they just moved his tickling to Harrenhal.

The Queen of Thorns is the most dangerous woman in Westeros*, and a hoot to be around, they have to keep her in the show.

My best friend in junior high (and a good friend now) extolled the value of sharp joints. He was a skinny fellow and when physically attacked turned into a mass of elbows, knees, and shoulder-blades. He just wasn't very satisfying to punch.

@avclub-1343022fc4003e2cf16f0368302d86e8:disqus He ran the first experiment from Earth-2 to verify that the Earth-1 counterparts were impacted (literally!) and then ran the second experiment from Earth-1 to see that it worked the same from the other direction.

I hope that Nutro was on board with their branded badger food. I can always get behind that kind of product placement.

Same experiment, with the polarity reversed, so to speak.

Reddick made the most of it, but the not-really-a-bad-guy-his-kid-was-in-danger bit is a pretty hoary cliche at this point.

I read Catcher in the Rye assigned for class when I was 15 or 16, it didn't make much impression on me either way. Now that I'm middle-aged is there any point in revisiting it? Over roughly the same period I was assigned David Copperfield (liked), Jane Eyre (absolutely hated), Brave New World (loved) and War and Piece…

My junior year in high school ('86-87) I had a fantastic English teacher who had the unique opportunity to have us read Richard III off the page in class, then go see Ian McKellen perform it live at the Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis (a pared down, very stark and spare version of the classic play, nothing much like…

I was going to specify two corn tortillas, but didn't want to get too pedantic.

No, flour tortillas are not OK. Corn or GTFO. And none of that crispy corn tortilla shit.

Nope, straight up hate Ashley. I was saddened to see him show up early, gladdened to see him disappear almost as early. I genuinely like Ferrell in general, but he is so poisonous on this show he can't gone quick enough.

Was it revealed last season that the mob boss was actually running Beau Soleil? It's worth mentioning that he was there with the missing servers as the hard drives were being deleted.

It was Mark Arm singing, not sure which band incarnation.

But why are they still showing Vaes Dothrak? Dani hasn't been there for quite a while, likely will never go back.

The opening credits are brilliant. Such a simple way to show the geography, what the cities and castles look like, how far apart things are. So much better than shoe-horning in exposition and excuses for characters to pore over maps.

Peggy's hesitation about leaving her own purse with Dawn was a nice parallel with Lane not leaving a strangers' wallet with the cab driver in the 1st or 2nd episode. In today's terms she had (conservatively) about $3000.00 there. Perhaps not life-changing, but still a very hefty chunk of change to leave sitting there,…

Who's the prescription pill junkie first, Betty or Sally? Betty's got both the resources and the drive…

My wife also plays accordion, so no mention of Joan's musical talents get missed.

Naw, Alton Brown designed that oven for super-cheap for "Good Eats." Just cut the back off a regular oven off free-cycle and you're good to go.
