I agree, GAIBtY has four or five songs in my ipod rotation, whereas WGW has been consigned to the misty purgatory of "uncheck selection."

A few minor opinions on Dylan and his music which I will submit without expectation of response:

A few minor opinions on Dylan and his music which I will submit without expectation of response:

I agree.  Nashville Skyline is the better album from that period, though not deserving of a top 5 either (though it's a great quirky little album).  Obviously Freewheelin' has to be in the top 5, which is where the writer went wrong in an otherwise spot on essay.  Great read, thanks!

I've recently been re-watching Season 2.  It's like looking at an old picture of Raquel Welch, I'm like "oh, yeah, that's what why."  In Bob Dylan terms, the best season 8 can hope for is a Self-Portrait kind of write off, a "it was supposed to be bad" sort of thing.  Here's hopin' season 9 is a Basement Tapes.

Also, the mention of Tarzan trying on Kat's panties (on his head) and the immediate cut to Kat wiping away a tear, that, well, that raised the whole episode another letter grade for me.

Tarzan is not nearly as well spoken as he thinks he is.  Still, points for proper use of "irascible."

One hates to be mean, but I was really hoping Arsenio or Aubrey would unsheathe their catty side and say something along the lines of "Mr. Trump, Theresa clearly has the IQ of a losing college basketball team, the fortitude of a house of cards, and the grace of a three legged elephant, let's cut the bull and get rid…

This will all probably be handled with a "Theon, you remind me of this fella named Reek I used to know" comment from Ramsay sometime in season 3.  Which is fine.

Ummm…I was kinda horrified by the septon's arm being ripped off.  But I'm a sensitive sort, I guess, more Sansa than Arya.

"If I were Theon, I'd be a bolting out of Winterfell ASAP."

Er, there have been a look or two that might've given it away.

Yeah, no way Reek/Ramsay are getting the Osha treatment considering what happens in book 5.

Tywin's superpower is clearly putting overconfident little shits back in their place.

Although I think the main answer is: tits, it should also be pointed out that Osha's seduction and betrayal of Theon demonstrated/reinforced what a hopeless twit he is.  And of course, let's not forget, we're watching this knowing her motivations are pure all along; newbie viewers could easily have questioned whether…

Forgive me if I'm misremembering, but Kim didn't make the men give up their immunity lo these many weeks ago, did they?  That was certainly a lucky break for her.

Indeed.  One would like to give them the benefit of the doubt and say maybe this is some sort of inter-show parody, but, well…we'll see.

My first instinct was to like this episode, too, and of course one wishes to evaluate individual episodes independently and of their own merits.  And there were good things here, Nellie's parts especially.  But at some point the tide of badness overcomes all and all of the negative inertia pulls what could have been a…

As typically bad as this episode was whence compared to latter season Office episodes, the Nellie moment about making a friend merits comparison to some of the early seasons' finest, most touching moments.
