Yeah, if the show doesn't get a fifth season, then season four might as well not exist.  But if it does, I have hope for it being able to be great again.  This was, in a sense, a "season one," what with the new showrunners and all, so I'm cutting it a lot of slack.

GET ON YOUR FEET!

I'd like to come up with some clever memetic way of cheering for this news, but I'm coming up empty.  I'm sure you've all gotten to most of the good ones, anyway.  So, woo!  Oh, how 'bout huzzah!  That's something Ron's said once or twice, I think.

I live-tweet occasionally, but it's never about feeling like I'm "in the same room" with anyone.  It's more of an "I wish Nielsen counted hashtags" thing, meaning I generally only do it for low-rated shows like Fringe or Community.  And I only do it during commercial breaks.

I'm afraid I don't have enough information to make that judgment.  Then again, the fact that you're even asking would seem to suggest that you are.  So, tentatively, YES!

Pretty accurate.  I totally loved Girls Can Tell, but I think everything else they've done that I've heard has hung out in the good/listenable range.

It's definitely not their best, but "painfully" is a bit much.

I was pretty sure Mel was coming for Shireen, or maybe even the jar babies. Was a pretty big surprise to see her pop up at Brotherhood HQ.

After thinking about it a bit, you're probably right that it isn't gonna be the same ol' impregnation thing.  But I don't think she would've "just said" it if the plan really was just to bone Gendry.  Melisandre seems to play things extremely close to the chest most of the time.

They found a way. :(

Well said, Ombudsman!  Dunno what people are complaining about.  Maybe they're having the same problem I am, being completely unable to think of how Theon's possibly going to get out of there, and there's a crossed wire or something that makes them think the story's not doing anything.

It really bums me out.  He was one of my favorite characters in season one, even after he'd betrayed Ned.  But he turned out to be such a terrible person in season two, threatening Ros with basically the thing that happened to her tonight, and bluntly telling Sansa how she was still totally fucked regardless of…

Go easy on Sansa, she's only brainless when it comes to her taste in men.  But yes, Tyrion should be good for her.  And I also agree that Margaery's luck is probably going to change sooner or later.  Not a good time to be a young woman in King's Landing.

I do believe that's the first person Joffrey's actually killed, himself.  And of course it was a bound, helpless prostitute.  That's about right.  The very height of cowardice, that boy.

Obviously people who hang around on a website mostly dedicated to reviews are going to care about reviews more than the general public.

Man, Adam Pally looks hilarious in that picture.  I hope Happy Endings doesn't get cancelled, but if it does, at least I'll only have to buy three sets of DVDs.

And yet I don't think they've ever moved Community from 8.  Which they probably should've at least tried at some point, what with Big Bang Theory and all.

What if it turns out to be everyone?  Ann and Leslie and April and Donna and Mona Lisa and Shauna and Tammy and Diane and Brandi Maxxx and Jessica Wicks and Marcia Langman and Joan Callamezzo and Poopy the Raccoon, every one full of babies.  Most of which have been sown by that dastardly Tracy Jordan.
