An episode to remind us that Survivor, in terms of age and likely success, is much more like golf than, say, tennis.  The best players are in their late 20s or early 30s, with the maturity that comes with age but not the loss of strength that begins soon after.  There are exceptions, of course, but Kat isn't one of

I think Alicia's flown a little under the radar lately as she's not quite central to the story the producers want to tell, nor has she been really threatened in the past few episodes.  Once we get down to the nitty gritty and her position is in jeopardy, I think we'll see the triumphant return of loud-mouthed

I can't wait for this.  And if you enjoy this show but haven't seen The Thick of It you owe it to yourself to check it out.  It's at least on par with the British Office, IMO.

God speed you dear, great man.

Part of me wants to be considerate and say "yeah, Christina and Alicia have a point, better the devil you know than the one you don't" etc etc.  But after the past few seasons, packed with survivor savants who know the ins and outs of the game as well as anyone, watching this season full of lambs among one or two

About the Sansa-acting-a-bitch thing, I got the impression from the editing that we're meant to take her attitude in that scene as a direct by-product of her dinner with Queen Bitch and her brood in which Cersei once again proves herself mistress of subtlety with all of her talk of killing "Sansa's brother."  So what

Maggie Smith would be perfect.  Plus, we haveta have the Queen of Thorns, right, because she kills, ya know, that guy, the one with the choking and the wine pouring, right?  I didn't get that wrong did I?

If Brienne was about a 25% weaker knight and about 25% more clever, she'd be just about perfect. 

Hodor. 

Interesting interview with a great creative talent…rock on, Garth.

Yes! This means we'll get to see the [edited for spoilers] and [edited for spoilers] scene in the [edited for spoilers]!  I am so [edited for spoilers] about that!

One thing I haven't seen addressed in the comments: Lou's if-you-were-a-man-I'd-pound-you conceit went unchallenged by everyone in the boardroom, I mean, it's not really ok to beat up another guy, is it?  Even if we concede it's somewhat more palatable than the notion of beating up a woman, is physical violence really

I like your final four, and I agree that Clay's got as good a chance as anyone to win.  But during the last season of the show I watched, from a year or two back, I was shocked when Trump picked Joan Rivers over Piers, so…I dunno.  Surprises may yet abound.

Dish dish dish!

Either the Trump crew is slipping some hormones into Lisa's morning toast and jam (who am I kidding?: morning dozen donuts) , or she's not the Queen of Mean I thought she was.  Has someone with a reputation for being hard as nails ever cried this much on a television show? 

Yeah, it's kinda hard not to get a little fixated on the twitching.  I don't want to be a jerk or anything, either, but to put it kinda directly: I think Lou has a lot of problems.  Like, a lot.

Ha, maybe.  But I keep going back to the way Adam described it on his show: people like Aubrey and Lisa are pop-whore superstars, they know exactly when and where to up the crazy.  Folks like Penn are just left to shake their heads in dismay.

Try typing one out earlier in the evening, before you're planning to type your real comment.

My favorite Sons of Anarchy episode is the one with the ridiculously convoluted plot about daddy issues and "getting out" of the life.

Wow, what Boba-Festooned geek pi**ed in your cornflakes?
