The entire Texas economy is driven by cheap land. It has nothing to do with anybody's politics.

I'm surprised that The Dark Knight didn't make this list.

I'm talking specifically about comedy, though

Good comedy doesn't punch down, and conservatives tend to benefit from whatever system is already in place. It's why the three main strands of American comedy are African American, Irish, and Jewish - three historically dumped on groups.

Frank probably isn't Charlie's dad though, because his mom was a giant whore.

No love for Bobby and Hank Hill?

Solid episode. The little bit of predictably doesn't bother me. I don't need to be surprised or shocked every time I flip on this show.

Ramsay loses the battle but survives and escapes. The last scene of season six is him being hanged by the BWB.

I hope lady stoneheart shows up just to off the guy who came up with the Frey hats. Seriously WTF are those things?

Lord Tarly's not wrong, he's just an asshole.

At least they dropped Dorne.

It just seems to me that there's very little meat left on the bones of the actual plot. Martin's strength is world building, not plotting, and to me that becomes clearer the closer we get to the end game. Edit - And that's what worries me as a reader. If we assume Sam's trip to Horn Hill is new material, then it means

We'll have to agree to disagree.

There's a lot that's either directly used, retread, or a modification. Iron Islands, Riverrun, Tower of Joy, Sam's trip south, Coldhands, Davos's upcoming recruitment tour, and the upcoming trip to the Quiet Isle. Not to mention several characters like Dany, Ramsay, and Jon are just spinning their wheels until the

Wow how much little actual plot is there in the two upcoming books? Halfway through season six with less than twenty episodes left and big chunks of the "new" season are from old books.

A good Bond movie makes you want to be him. A great Bond movie make you want not to be him.

"I've made a huge mistake."

No, you're probably right. It just felt anticlimactic to me. Bran got to Bloodraven and we got two and a half flashback scenes before he moved on.

Seems strange to go through all that effort to build up Bloodraven, spend all that time traveling to him, promote the hell out of it in the previews, recast the part with a famous actor, only to kill the dude five episodes in. Oh well - I guess there's only so many scenes of two dudes sitting in a cave people will

Maybe Doctor Foster got tenure?
