Having a one-thread catch-all doesn't really work for me, as the thread would be too big. Disqus only lets me see the most recent 500 or the oldest 500 or the best-rated 500. Also, it's tiresome to have to keep loading comments to get to the show you want to discuss.

I completely understand that the a.v. club has to pay its writers and such, and that it is therefore necessary to run ads and favour content that maximizes revenue. Is it not financially feasible to put up a blank space with a simple screencap for an episode of a discontinued show where people can discuss it? I

The only thing missing was the "Land of Chocolate" theme.

He knows a lot aboot Sean Connery!

I thought the bannermen were the chaps/suckers who held the banners instead of something useful like a sword. A position of honour, though still a mad thing to do. What do you call them—sucker flag-bearers?

"Look to my coming, at firsht light, on the fifth day. At dawn, look to the easht."

What in god's green gravy are the Ironborn supposed to do for a living now? Let's face it, their soils are unsuited for agriculture, plus there's that whole "we not not sow" thing. So will they settle down and become fishmongers? Become maritime accordion players and play folk music festivals? Become exporters of

"and that…THAT I can nevar forgiff!"
"what, are you Spanish now?"
"um, no."
"well you're sounding a bit Spanish!"

"Ugh, I see why you like this show. He's exactly like you. God, what an asshole. I can't watch." - the ex mrs billy. *festive twaddling of mandolins*

I thought EMG meant Moscow on the Hudson, which was a Robin Williams flop back in the early 80s.

It's odd that Jaqen never told the Waif that the god of death accepts substitutes when a name has been promised. The Waif seemed very insistent that once the actress and Arya were promised, nothing short of their deaths would suffice. Jaqen was certainly willing to swap three new deaths for the three lives Arya

Well if it should come to a poisoning attempt, Margaery doesn't appear to be quite as deft as her grandmother, judging by Margaery's awkward hand-off of the rose drawing. I couldn't tell if Septa Midriff noticed it or not—she had her regular brick wall expression on her face. If she had seen it, I'm not sure she'd

I always enjoy Margaery's scenes with Septa Midriff.

Well she needed to convince them of her own piety to get her power back, but I suspect she's playing a longer game. If Tommen is now a disciple of the High Sparrow and thus incapable of saving her brother, she might take matters in her own hands and try to get rid of Tommen (xref: Joffrey). She would then be Queen

It'll be 1000 versions of "The Bear and the Maiden Fair" in your pocket!

SAN FRANCISCO!

The hatchet is to decapitate all the fucking chickens he is going to eat.

The Waif was specifically told that Arya shouldn't suffer, but the Wait twisted that knife in Arya's gut and ensured a slow, painful death. I suspect there will be payback for that from Jaqen, or at least mercy shown.

"Balls! I'll drink your flagon of sour Dornish and run a mile!"
