Actually, now that you mention it, I think he did die at the very end of that episode. I forgot about that. Clearly my memory of this show isn't as clear as it could be, I must rewatch it STAT!

"There's just one thing that I don't understand … which one is the surprise?"

Just watched the Veronica Mars movie for the first time, and was reminded of that whole "any Ryan Hansen is good Ryan Hansen" thing. He stole every scene he was in. How is that guy not a big star by now? He's a good dude who everybody likes, is entertaining as hell and good looking. Just been cursed by being in

In a full-length movie, they could find a way to bring Jane Lynch back. Just have her husband from the show die and give her a new engagement celebration to plan. There are ways to involve her that wouldn't include bringing her back to the catering crew.

I would hope this will be one of those times that they allow you to watch one long commercial at the beginning instead of interrupting the show itself. They've done that before.

Naw. Rob Thomas proved with the Veronica Mars movie that he can keep a good grasp of characters after an extended time away from them. If they ever do revive it for a similar movie, I have no doubt the tone, humor and characters will be intact.

I know that movie. The guy's brother drowns.

God dammit this show was so good. Almost too good. It had to die, otherwise all other comedies would seem worse by comparison.

It's funny how the reactions to that relationship changed over the last few years.

Seriously, I have no clue what the big deal is about In-N-Out. I think west coasters have this weird obsession with it because it's a symbol of their youth or something. It isn't because of the actual quality of the burger. It's average.

This makes me want a burger. But a good burger, not the pile of shit in that photo. Something from Umami Burger; now that's something I'd gladly shave a few hours off my life for.

Verily, I appreciated this post. I shall raise an ale to your wordsmithery, oh great O'Neal.

But the way it was played, he wasn't angry. He didn't look angry, he didn't say anything to Jaime about being angry. He didn't show any emotion, especially anger, until he ran into Shae, who he didn't know would be there. I thought the scenes between Tyrion and Shae and Tyrion and Tywin were excellent, but those

That I agree with. The fact that we won't have to deal with "where do whores go" is such a blessing.

So, in your mind, Tyrion's heel turn from escaping to confronting his father made total sense in the show? Because it made zero sense to me. Yes, his father was an ass who treated him like shit. But there was nothing in that moment causing him to go back to confront Tywin. His motivation in the show didn't make sense

I'm still going to have to be vague, so I'll just say Varamyr Sixskins and Thoros of Myr are your two telegraphs.

One of my only issues with the show is that they seem to sacrifice the long-term for the sake of the short. Things like eliminating Tysha, killing Pyp and Grenn and marginalizing some of the backstory can serve the immediate future well, but it sacrifices the effectiveness of storylines later on. I can only hope they

I think the average show watcher would have no clue who Lyanna is if you just said her name. And there hasn't been nearly as much detail about Lyanna and Rhaegar's past in the show, so show-only people haven't had as much opportunity to come up with the theory on their own. So I would understand it if they wanted to

That's my concern too. Without Ned's constant focus on Lyanna, his promise and his lie, there isn't nearly as much context for this theory in the show. And Lyanna and Rhaegar have been much more marginalized in the show than they were in the books, though Rhaegar has started to get some more attention.

Haha, well yes, but I wanted to leave out that bit.
