@avclub-5bc6960dad8ab0694bb4d6ff884b0c1e:disqus And I USED to be 23.  What are the chances?

Held it together until the part where the mother says she will fill in the pages in the adventure book.

Hey look at that, the Twin Cities.  That's the IDS building, the big glass one…tallest skyscraper in the Midwest after the….Sears in, uh, Chicago…or John Hancock Building, whatever.

That's the really interesting ambiguity about this episode, isn't it?  I think the outrage had less to do with the fact that Ellen was coming out, and more to do with the way she did it.  I think, perhaps, if she had just come out in a magazine interview and not incorporated it into the storyline of the tv show, the…

Maybe it's because I'm a sucker for old-school populist political history, but to me, the 'Farmer-Labor' tag on the Democratic Party raises Minnesota's cool meter at least three notches.  That, and the jerseys of the North Stars (just one step below the Hartford Whalers in sheer awesomeness).

@avclub-776e9111d31a090979dd9fc5f382651c:disqus HELL YEAH!  The Icky Shuffle rocked.  And you have no idea how right you are about deep in the Great White North: I just moved out of Fort McMurray after three years (shudder).

@avclub-776e9111d31a090979dd9fc5f382651c:disqus Just chiming in…I'm Canadian, and a life-long Bengals fan.  The first game I saw as a child was Super Bowl XVI.  Yeah, I was 11, and yeah, I picked the team with the swirly helmets (and yeah, I would have enjoyed the 1980s and 1990s more if I had chosen San Fran).  I…

@avclub-ca394dfe4e368a89f4f459f1c91be9d0:disqus Damnation! Alright, find me some good players. LIVING players! Scour the professional ranks. The American League, the National League, the Negro League!

Hell yeah.  As soon as I saw this headline, that scene jumped in my head.  I thought that sequence was by far the most unsettling and heartbreaking.  My memory is a bit hazy, but is that not the first time that he hears a disembodied voice?  He has seen all sorts of other horrifying, unsettling stuff, but then that…

I'm so glad you brought that up, because that was my response as well.  I totally get what everyone is saying about other houses seeming slightly odd (especially in terms of smell).  The house I associate with my childhood is the one I lived in just before my parents got divorced.  After that, my life became much more…

But who would play the parts of the Fabulous Freebirds and the High Flyers?

Call me Whitecap.

**av club commentators slowly gather around O'Neal**

That's nothing.  You should see what they show twelve-year-olds in Serbia!

Go grab a Big Mac at your local McDonals and wirte another post on Yahoo! 
Answers, sparky.  Let the rest of us morons who doesnt watch, the show talk to eachother.

I think 'vengeance machine' would be more appropriate.  We look forward to her striking violently against those who have wronged the Stark Family in pretty awful ways.  Psychotic serial killer would suggest killing people for no reason other than to satisfy her (ugh) 'dark passenger.'   But yeah, she's a kid, so I…

And when you have the Hound as backup to stop the rest of them from killing you.

Hodor.

After episode nine, I expected Joffrey, with smug glee, to be the one to break the news to Sansa.  The idea of serving Robb's head on a plate went beyond what I was picturing.  I think you are right, though, Tool: he might start to strain against the restraints being put on him by his grandfather.  It's obvious that…
