I don't know, I think his performance in Be Cool shows a welcome willingness not to take himself too seriously.

Not to mention that when two males are paired, the theme has to be conflict or friendship, never romance. Take the Travis number that Kent and Neil did that was supposedly about friendship betrayed but, well, seems like it was probably a different relationship. Then again, Nigel may have a point. I showed that number…

That game's one flaw was that you couldn't shoot the dog. Well, that and the fact that the zap gun doesn't work on new TVs. Had I known that, I'd have saved my CRT TV to be my duck-huntin' TV.

But the one Child of the Forest we've seen fought off wights to protect Bran and crew. I'd say they and the White Walkers are on opposite sides (which means men still fucked up by depleting the Children/trees).

It makes me wonder about Oathkeeper and Widow's Wail. I mean, I'm sure both are still capable of killing White Walkers (since they were forged from Ice), but technically they weren't forged using dragonfire (if that's even the thing with Valyrian steel, which it probably is).

I will agree that her "I'll be right behind you" telegraphed her death. But it's crazy to say that there was no imminent danger when we had the simmering tension between Jon's crew + those Wildlings (like her) willing to join them vs. the other Wildlings who saw this as betrayal. Sure the danger ended up being the…

Basically, it is apparently no longer possible to have a rape scene in fiction. If the victim retaliates, the portrayal is bad because it shows rape as empowering. If the victim does not retaliate, then it's bad because it shows rape as victimizing. If the victim finds solace in his/her relationships and those…

I'm more concerned about the reviewers who seem to assume that rape and sexualized violence are "titillating" to viewers. That GoT includes these things does not seem to me to be an automatic fault. It's a shitty world, especially for women, and the show portrays that in a manner that, 90% of the time (excepting that…

Claire also believes she can change history. So it's possible that her actions in this time period changed the date of BJR's death.

Indeed. I know there's been a backlash or whatever, but that shit was fascinating.

Well yeah, but we see the havoc an uncertain throne brings to the common people. There's no way democracy is going to magically come to Westeros (at this point in its history), so the next best thing is a decent, forward-thinking monarch.

But often that commoner — in the case of the hero at least — secretly has royal blood or a mystical destiny or whatever.

Me too, over the course of three days. The whole world felt surreal for quite awhile after that.

Not to mention zombie bowel movements (as mentioned by dumb Asian thug in previous episode). I mean, ew, but also . . . how?

I was really interested in Ravi's little throwaway about the problems of having a zombie in prison. It made me realize how easily this simmering zombie apocalypse can come to a full boil — zombie on a plane, zombie in a prison, zombie on a cruise ship, etc. I can buy that this world just hasn't yet had that one epic…

Is she even still on the show? Does she know Liv's boyfriend died? Why isn't Peyton picking up Liv from the bar? I know Liv referenced her when talking to Ravi, but seriously, was there a plot point I missed about Peyton going to visit her aunt or something, or what?

It'd be great if there were an option to "quote reply" (like on discussion boards in online classes) so even if they edit their original comment, you would still have what they said in your post.

Holy shit, she's 51? I have nothing clever or profound to say. Just wow.

Probst's response tweet is quite classy.
