That's the great thing: I don't think he had any reason to do anything about it, and it made total sense. What does he gain by letting Tywin know he has Arya right under his nose? Nothing greater than inheriting Harrenhall. But if his masterplan is to hold Sansa hostage, making her the ONLY Stark remaining (or so the

Never too late to start drinking! Thanks!

Also, Todd: the GoT show-runners have basically said that they're not interested in a "theme" for every episode. Even your analysis of the season two premiere in an attempt to detect a theme, pointing out that the same comet appears at the start of every scene, is strained at best. I can't think of a single episode of

Fun fact: I rewatched all of season 2 today in anticipation for tonight (those of you who didn't: shame on you). The number of times Dany actually says the sentence "Where are my dragons??!" during season 2? 1. My drinking game rules left me quite sober.

As a huge fan of both books and show- and I thought the first two seasons were great, despite some pacing issues- I thought this was fantastic. Like the writers had finally figured out the pace and structural layout that really works. A lot of fun.

I could have totally imagined it, but right after Jeff walks away from Abed at the beginning of the episode, don't we see Starburns walk by quickly? With the starburns themselves hidden of course.

I read it as him just being as bluntly, directly honest about who he is, sexually, with her as quickly as he could to see if there was any chance of them working out. We've known from the second episode- Adam roleplaying in the middle of sex with Hannah that she's a hooker he picked up on the street- that he's got

Little fat man, sold his soul…

Ugh, is that Smithers line in the stray observations for real? Is that episode title for real?

I'm '88, we have the luxury of being born during the year of The Simpsons AND The Dragon. Pretty fucking unbeatable.

Like… why would they not do this?

The Sixers are technically not a last place team- unless you're (correctly) not counting Canadian teams.

"The Pizza Delivery Episode" is the most wonderfully non-descriptive title for that episode.

I can see why they'd generally enjoy each other's company. There's a certain innocence to both of them. Plus they're both hot, so why not do it too?

COME ON MAN

In all fairness, the Wall recruitment committee is finding it very hard to come up with reasons to take the black these days. They need all the ad space and spare helms they can afford.

…a hipster?

So has the Atoms for Peace album leaked?

Why is it that this was the first week to feature a guy writer, and the first week to give us an AVclub girl reviewer, and there's actual thoughtful discussion occurring instead of assholes complaining about Lena Dunham's boobs? Did we crack the code?

I'm not gonna start a thing, but 8 is the best. That's the library break-in episode, right? Yeah, that one's the best. You're probably one of those people who hates "Fly" too.
