At least Benders is a marginally (just) better title than Uncle Chubby's. But still: a bunch of guys form an amateur hockey team? What kind of league do they play in, other than beer belly?

One of the great things about Moriarty in the original stories is that he only appears in one of them (and is mentioned in a couple of others), so doesn't outstay his welcome or become the go-to bad guy.

' “You don’t want to leave this place, and you don’t want to lie? Oh
sunshine, you don’t get both.” Your weekly reminder that Carol is
awesome'

Okay, hands up: who wanted Daryl and Arron to kiss in the seconds before Morgan arrived?

Holy sh*t, Lennie James is brilliant. Is that the best – and most wanted/anticipated – cold open ever? After teasing him in the first half of the season, I didn’t think Morgan would be a no-show for the second half; but I didn’t anticipate such a great re-introduction.

Yeah, just read in the Globe and Mail that Going Clear isn't airing on HBO Canada because of (lack of) rights clearance. Like you, I'm pissed.

Probably in a minority here, but I'd have hoped to see some Rory Kinnear (Bill Tanner). Not the most dynamic character in the Bond universe, but I like Rory Kinnear.

Cue George Harrison song. Which would actually be a pretty cool way to end DA.

One good thing about the TV show outpacing the books is that all those insufferably smug book people (and don't get me wrong, I love books, I have more than 7000 of them in my home and have read most of them) will have to stop being so insufferably smug around the non-book (GRRM book, at least) people.

The W carved in some of the walkers' foreheads - anything to do with what someone had painted in Noah's neighbourhood, something about 'Wolves are near'? That was where we first saw the dismembered bodies, after all; and didn't some of the walkers there have the W on their forehead? I haven't read the graphic novels,

Liked the way Sam gravitated to Carol during the fight scene, and she made sure to keep between him and the fight as much as possible. He obviously recognises Carol as someone who'll protect him (when she's not trying to scare the crap out of him), and Carol - despite trying to brush him off last episode - can't stop

I have a feeling it's going to anyway, regardless of whether series six is the last one or not.

I don't know whether to be relieved that the end of the series means we'll finally get some sort of resolution to the never-ending Anna/Bates/who killed Mr Greene subplot, or to be worried that the end of the series means JF will come up with a completely out of left field 'solution' in sheer desperation.

You have Tim Horton's in Michigan? I'm going to be oh-so-Canadian and say a heartfelt 'I'm sorry.'

Sorry to hear this, AJ. If you haven't already (I'm sure you have, though) give Zorro a lot of extra fuss. You'll both feel (a little bit) better.

Girls. Very dangerous. You go first.

I really do like Sherlock, but it's kind of funny to see Gatiss and Moffat - especially in the show's early days - praised for their wonderful, ground-breaking, daring idea of re-imagining Holmes and Watson in the present day. Every single Sherlock Holmes film made before the Rathbone/Bruce Hound in 1939 - which is to

Contrast what Carol said, and the matter of fact way she said it, with Sasha's shrill 'You're worried about that?' to the woman who was afraid she'd cook Sasha something she wouldn't like in last week's episode. Both said the same thing, in essence - 'In this world we're now in, these are not "problems", or things to

A drunk doctor is probably worse than no doctor at all. I can't see him being of much help to Tara.

After five seasons I shouldn't be surprised; but damn, this show sure doesn't do subtlety, does it? 'We have to show that Father Gabriel is losing/has lost his faith? How can we convey that?' 'I know! Have him tear pages out of a Bible!'
