So you expect to see dragons in Westeros by quarter-way through the writing process for the next book?

Sexier than Tywin Lannister?  How?

To be fair, the prostitute torture (or at least most of it, since I only really recall Joffrey and Littlefinger torturing prostitutes) and flaying is being used to reinforce that the characters doing it are psychopaths and sociopaths (though, the prostitute torture is excessive because it's already obvious that both…

@avclub-f8523a7e392b7ab306239f511fd75280:disqus You mean a role where you disappear after Season 3?  Yes, how could you give up the chance for one more year of work (if I remember, the Greatjon was in season 2) where he'd probably just have a few scenes.

@avclub-d980b15d49101608dc407770f35b1d75:disqus I feel like Oberyn v. Gregor isn't quite episode 9 worthy - it's more like Beric v. the Hound: an awesome trial by combat fight scene that ends in a preposterous way.

Why didn't you just call the other one Skinny Neil?

@avclub-7e47d4ad9e2db1edc1380e751c440f78:disqus Blossom was a blatant ripoff of Molloy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wik…  That sounds awesome!

@avclub-830c2addaa100a504ecaa6b4374f93ac:disqus I thought that NBA players dressed more like hipsters than nerds.

Hopefully this is a sign of things to come.  Also, as an aside, when I saw Cartoon Planet was on, I became extremely hopeful and was excited to see reruns of the series… then it turned out it was Brak and Zorak hosting classic CN, which made me sad - I want to hear "Brak's School Daze"!

I really wish that Hitler!, a Downfall-Glee crossover show, was actually being produced.  I would watch the fuck out of that.

When are they going to have a new pilot with Brak in it!?  But really, a lot of that looks awesome: Dan Harmon, Metalocalypse special, Aaron McGruder, Paul Scheer and Jonathan Stern, Matt Harrigan… I'm speechless.

Or at least have Andy Merrill running around wearing a shitty Space Ghost outfit?

Given that Tarquin was the douchiest of the Roman kings, it makes sense that all people named Tarquin would be douches.

I forgot about that.

That could happen, but I doubt they would be willing to charge one dollar for one month.  But, with the microtransaction analogy, I feel like that would be more applicable to the selling of individual episodes than entire channels, if it's even applicable to that.

I don't know if this is really as great an idea as it sounds.  Wouldn't this discourage channels from taking risks with their programming and cause them to focus more and more on the niche audiences that purchase them?  For examples, why would AMC have ever developed Mad Men or Breaking Bad in an a la carte world?…

But R'hllor's faith isn't purely monotheistic, it's manichean and is so in a way that much more resembles Zoroastrianism than Christianity.  Christianity is often mistaken for manichean, but in most branches, including Catholicism, Satan is not an equal enemy of God, but an enemy/adversary of humanity.  It more…

There's a difference between multiple forms/avatars and divine entities being aspects of one, singular supreme being.  In most branches of Christianity, the three persons of the Trinity are united in one divine essence.  In the Hindu Smarta tradition, all the gods of the pantheon are seen as aspects of the one…

And all his inane mentions of his skill with a crossbow.
