I was going to write something like, "Lena Dunham is very attractive, what are you talking about?" but I think that'd miss the point. Let's say she's not attractive- what, exactly, does that change about a show? Unless your show is about supermodels, then who the fuck cares?

For my money, Todd is one of the best TV critics out there but I have to say I 100% disagree with him on the romance in this show. I found Robb to be never better than in the scene with Jeyne and I sure felt the tragic weight behind it. However, what I mostly disagree with is the idea that the Jorah/Daenarys romance

Bob crawling over the couch in the Twin Peaks show goes down as one of the more horrifying screen moments. I leaned away from the TV.

Romantic comedies put diseases in me.

Every time I watch a horror film I hope it'll have the David Lynch effect on me and I'm consistently let down. Nothing compares to the terror he puts inside me.

I sure hope we get to see all that because it was fucking awesome in the book.

Great episode, possibly my favorite of the season. One of the show's most touching scenes was the interaction between Cersei and Tyrion. When he goes over to console her, realizes he can't, and Cersei realizes she'd never be able to accept him consoling her despite the fact that she so desperately needs it… damn. The

I just did a quick look at the Doctor Who wiki and it says that this episode was 98% written by Adams which jives with the About Time books that say Nation submitted his script with Sarah and Harry still on board the TARDIS.

I have to disagree that Terry Nation was one of the better writers. A lot of his work was repetitive and he really only produced good stuff when the script editor kicked him in the ass and/or rewrote him (Genesis of the Daleks).

I've barely noticed the lack of battles in the show since the small scenes are so outstanding. The battle of Blackwater is a must but outside of that I'd rather have several well-written small scenes than battles.

Ser Rodrik telling Bran and Rickon that he was off to see their father was one of the most moving scenes in the show yet because of the kindness in it. He's about to die yet he cares the most for Rickon and Bran instead of himself. In that line alone you see how much he loved them and how deep the loyalty goes for the

I was really looking forward to the shadow baby and it did not let me down.

"So then you asked yourself, isn't there something more to life?… Well let me clue you in: there isn't."

There are so many comments that I'm not sure if this has been covered but what do you guys make of the noose that Don was drawing? Yet another Patrick Bateman connection. ;)

Mark me down for Varys. I trust him because he's upfront about not being trustworthy.

I thought this was the lesser of the three episodes so far but it was still a good hour (Game of Thrones always is). I felt like the scenes with the Greyjoys brought it down a bit and I can only imagine that newbies are confused there as it feels not as well developed as the other areas. Dragonstone, for example, came

Maybe they'll hire back Chevy Chase; I hear he might be looking for work soon…

I like it when the Doctor messes up. He's a very flawed figure and should make mistakes from time to time or eventually his victories become hollow. Him being a few steps behind is also effective as it makes the situation more tense and the viewer is saying, "Damn, even the Doctor is at a loss here."
