Well, Arya is still alive, just blind.

It's like all the good Jon had done in the past counted for nothing with these guys. Then again, the Night Watch murderers were not exactly the brightest candles in the wooden light fixture, especially with Sam and Master Ammon gone.

In the wake of the Manson murders, Americans across the country looked at pictures of Charles Manson and shook their heads in disbelief, wondering how such an ugly, dirty, creepy-looking guy could inspire such lethal devotion from his followers, especially all the pretty young girls who were ready to kill for him.

For me that phenomenon happened as the first run of the show progressed. By the end of the last episode, the only person I would've felt somewhat sorry for if the whole family had been assassinated at the diner was AJ, the hapless loser-son who could never compete with his smarter sister. He was like the Freddie…

No way.

To this day I'll never understand how the immensely popular Grace Kelly, a talented, intelligent woman, gave up a thriving film career to marry a short, stubby man she barely knew. She had to know her decision meant living thousands of miles from her home and the end of her acting in the movies, which she seemed to…

The problem is that there are a least a couple of generations of readers here who were not alive when The Avengers was on TV or who never saw Brazil; in fact, while I saw both, I didn't remember that Sam Lowry was the name of Jonathan Pryce's character in the film.

These sites are not exactly models of proofreading; that's for sure.

I liked it as well and found it completely inoffensive because Jared doesn't seem to a mean cell in his body.

Not true. Mad Men paved the way for great shows that are still on. Rectify and The Americans are just two examples.

Your reply reminds me of the famous rejoinder to a songwriter who was grousing about a popular hit by Irving Berlin, saying "Anybody could've written that song." To which his wiser friend answered, "Yeah, but Irving Berlin did."

Did you know that Matt Weiner told Jon Hamm how the series would basically end eight years ago when he hired him to play Don?

You just made me laugh out loud. By the way each morning I read a "deep thought" from Jack Handey's book to my seventh grade homeroom kids, who usually find them hilarious.

I so wanted to believe that Matt Weiner would give this brilliant show and its loyal viewers the ending it and we deserved.

Yeah, true. Men are always talking about how they want sons , and then a daughter arrives and very quickly becomes the apple of her daddy's eye.

The young actress who plays Shireen is really wonderful. The producers of GOT seem to have a very good eye for picking kids who can really act. The scene with her father Stannis was lovely—just a dad and his little girl. For the first time since his character was introduced I actually liked Stannis.

As someone who's truly sick of hearing characters say, "ExCUSE me?" I would rather hear a good plain "What?" any day. In fact it's what most people say.

"Her waterboarding is one of the most upsetting moments of the series. . ."

And the warning is made by a Republican—albeit a moderate Republican by today's standards.

I wouldn't call that language "flowery" at all. Sadly, there was a time when average Americans sat in front of their television sets and not only understood but appreciated speeches like President Eisenhower's farewell address to the country—as they would the inaugural address of the man who succeeded him, John F.…
