I hadn't even thought about Encarta in over ten years. Perfectly executed.

Yeah, pretty much ruins my witty response, too.

Yeah, I am somewhat embarrassed to confess that I look forward to episodes, much for the reason mentioned in the write-up: it's nice to check in on the small town and its characters, and Bilson is reliably charming.

NBC runs a hole in the wall restaurant that has great food but no one bothers to stop by and try it except for those somewhat eccentric Thursday night regulars.

Mostly for his delivery, and the sunglasses, but Luke's scoffing, "Police? Aren't they too busy winning the war on drugs?" walk-through was delightfully random.

If they're aiming for arch, they should have cast Jessica Walter.

When the tutor girl said 'look at the colours' followed by 'Bollywood', I pretty much died of contact embarrassment. Michael Scott has nothing on that chick.

"Unforgettable".

As much as I want to see all the awards Community and Treme weren't nominated for, I think I'll stick to watching Eagles at Atlanta.

I guess you have to live here for it to be obvious, but there are enough distinctive shots of Toronto that I wouldn't be surprised to see the CN Tower show up next season.

Shit, where's my bingo dabber! We got a 'tone' reference!

I may also be added in Canadian seasons of SYTYCD, so there's that.

This show has made me too cynical. I think there's something to be said about stacking the deck in certain seasons, to reduce the chances of the Idol-effect Nigel alluded to.

STOP SMILING FOR THE LOVE OF GOD
After 8 seasons, I'm familiar with how Nigel caters to his favourites, but I'm still shocked every time they save a Ryan. Much like Britta, she's the worst.

Ah, but Sean Bean dies in the first film. And every other film he's in.

Pervy, that's just dumb. Of course it's obvious once you've been spoiled, that's the point. You can't be expected to imagine how obvious the twist was unspoiled.

Yeah, that kid had a serious case of related-to-someone-important.

Yeah, obviously the stakes in these books are what makes them so fucking awesomely badass, but it doesn't mean I wouldn't punch Martin in the face given the opportunity.

The Selmy scene was one of the most powerful to date, or at least one that made me, as Todd pointed out, forget about the book entirely. Very well acted.

Thanks, GRRM
Some good fan service tonight. 'Wolves galore, classic Bronn and a nice throwaway line about melting down swords. (The desecration of Ice still infuriates me.) Speaking of…
