Maybe I've misunderstood the whole time, but I always thought that the ridiculousness of the gender politics was the point. Like, the fact that Sandy feels compelled to change her entire personality is part of the joke. I'm only familiar with the 70s movie version which generally has a lot of fun with its (gentle)…

In possibly too late to have any meaningful discussion but . . . I fuckin' loved it. As it has marinated in my brain over the past two days, my opinion has only improved.

Somebody has probably pointed this out already, but in GoT universe, Ramsay raping Sansa would not have been all that objectionable, right? I mean Robert was always fuckin' raping Cersei. Dany was pleasantly surprised when she was NOT raped by Drogo. Completely barbaric but in that world you kinda knew that if you…

Roose seems like he knew how to keep up appearances and do what was expected of him. He might have been a vicious motherfucker but aside from personal dislike, I don't think he ever gave the Starks a reason to want to give him the boot. He was a dependable soldier when the Starks went to war, and he was capable of…

Man, this filled the gaping hole in my heart left by 30 Rock. I don't know if someone else is doing best quotes up/downthread because I'm lazy, but so many great one liners.

Someone below said BCS is like an Elmore Leonard story. I've alwasy gotten a Jackie Brown vibe from Gilligan and his writing team. They have a Tarantino-esque affinity for dialogue that explains mundane shit really precisely and well (thinking of Max Cherry explaining the bail bond industry).

Keep in mind that, as a post-conviction challenge, the only issue is whether and how badly the trial lawyer fucked up by not checking out the alibi witnesses, and whether the failure to do so actually prejudiced the outcome. So 95% of the shit covered in the podcast (is Jay credible? Could Adnan have actually…

I like the idea of this feature. But it seems like it always devolves into some variation of "I hate this song because the jocks in high school who were mean to me liked it."

I liked the g-rated Dice Clay even though he just stole Neil Hamburger's schtick.

Purnsley's awesome.  I'm afraid he's going to be the "good guy" casualty of the season though.

To suspect any level of conspiracy you have to apply some extreme 20/20 hindsight.

Loved Growing Pains.

Yeah, but he made the money somehow right?  I mean, regardless of whether he did it by importing Korean jackets or whatever, he  put up a decent budget on his own.  That's the impressive part.

The thing that always amazes me the most about The Room is that Wiseau was able to raise $6 million to make the movie himself (apparently in part by selling leather jackets in Korea).  Like, holy shit!  That's really impressive!  is he some entrepreneurial savant?  Because most people defintely couldn't do that.

Yeah.  I like the dude they have playing Ramsay but the character in the show is kind of a shrill psychopath when compared to the force of nature that is book Ramsay.

Just want to say that I really enjoyed the Roose/Walder scene.  Love both those actors and I'm disappointed we won't be seeing much (any?) of Walder going forward.  Hoping they bump Roose up to the main cast next year though.

Kind of.  Bran and Rickon still come first, but everyone thinks they're dead.

I wouldn't say he deserved to die in such a gruesome way, but I do think that Roose/Walder/Tywin's plot was probably the best possible outcome for the people of Westeros at this point.  It was a relatively bloodless end to a war that would have dragged on ad infinitum.  Something I think readers/viewers overlook…

Why would you expect that?
