I really enjoyed the first books in this series when I read them five or six years ago, but as the series progressed I felt like it ran into some of the same problems with bloat that A Song of Ice and Fire has in its more recent installments too. I stopped reading at Book 5, and haven't missed it.

That was the Brooklyn Historical Society, in Brooklyn Heights. Quite deservedly a landmark building.

I don't know how you jump to this being something that happened to the actor. And I also didn't think it was being played for laughs - the first scene with the photographer was, I think but the second one, with the two of them alone, definitely seemed like an intentionally uncomfortable moment. I mean, we're told he…

Mark Gatiss IS Tycho Nestoris in… Game of Thrones: Monopoly Edition!

Shirley Maclaine says it, when she's talking about how fat the donors' checks should be.

" I thought that maybe something happened with Brittany to motivate this. Nope."

Not only just a Broadway star, but ONLY in that role. Topol, the example the agent cited, spent decades playing Tevye in Fiddler on the Roof. I can understand her being freaked out at the idea that she's peaked in her first role.

But Robb hasn't done it on the show, as far as we know.

Bran could use his powers now as lord of Winterfell to de-bastardize Jon, right?

Locke might have overheard Jon and Sam talking about whether they'd be at Craster's Keep — he walks in on that scene. At the very least, he has to think that getting in close with Jon might get Jon to tell him where he's hiding his brothers, if they're hiding with the Watch.

Locke is there because the Boltons think that Bran and Rickon are with the Night's Watch, and he wants to dispose of them.

I love Chris Parnell, both as Leo Spaceman and Cyril on Archer, but he should never play a character named "Mario" again. He is literally the least Italian man they could have cast.

Kurt's choreography for that song involved a scaffolding; how could it not be more fun?

The writer of the episode called it a "salute" to that scene from "Applause" during their live-tweet: https://twitter.com/hitchmi…

Yeah, there's no way they don't pay off that Michael Urie appearance somehow. That was way too small a part for such a recognizable actor. (and a really good one, so I'm excited for it.)

Well, right now the actress is on Broadway with A Raisin in the Sun, so I wouldn't get my hopes up if I were you.

After Season 6, I want the Tim and Rachel show. I think we've all earned it.

The actor who plays Bran has grown a LOT this year, apparently — all the interviews I've seen have mentioned how lucky it is that they can just film him sitting down and covered in blankets.

Unique has a really great voice, even if they totally dropped her one humanizing plot (the catfishing story, where she was in the wrong, but in understandable ways) and have mostly treated her like Generic Sassy Black Friend.

It wasn't just Mr Cobie Smulders in this episode, we had Alexis Denisof, Mr Alyson Hannigan as Sandy Rivers, and David Burtka (who I guess I can call Mr Neil Patrick Harris though I can see how that would be confusing) as Scooter.
