“You wanna see TIE fighters? I’ll show you TIE fighters, VROOOOOMMM!!!”

And then there was Pete the Killer, who was Sally Balls’ brother, then you had Nicky Eyes and Mikey Franzese—and Edrio “Two Tubes”, nicknamed
because he said everything twice through two tubes.

I found Crozier’s arc the highlight of the series. In the first few episodes I was sure he would become the downfall of the expedition, with his alcoholism, his bitterness over Sir John’s niece and dour personality. Even Fitzjames warned Sir John that Crozier’s gloomy spirit could ruin everything. Amazing then to see…

Sean: First of all, thank you for your sensitive, thoughtful, often poetic reviews of this series. I doff my (wholly inappropriate for the Arctic) hat to you.

That was one of the most shocking things I’ve ever seen. We can, and do, watch zombies eating brains and dragons burning people alive and people visiting unspeakable violence on other people in all manner of movies, television shows, and videos. But that—that felt like true brutality.

I hear the basement is nice.

Shame on this writers part for not mentioning Rome instead of their wasted roles in Game of Thrones.

I’m apalled that an article mentioning Ciarin Hinds and Tobias Menzies working together doesn’t cite their previous brilliant work as Caesar and Brutus in ‘Rome’.

We talk about Rome and not Persia because the Romans wrote everything down and we don’t have…

Ms. Frizzle recklessly endangers the lives of her students by taking them out of the classroom to visit strange places and times, exposing them to real risk and trauma, every damn day—without the permission of their parents. But, damn it, she cares about public education!

Pretty sure the Chargers don’t need to worry about filling the position of trophy manager.

Apparently, according to Wikipedia, at its peak in 1920, the British Empire covered nearly 24% of the Earth's land area, which is kind of insane. That's about the size of all of N. America and Europe put together.

They’re mostly just jealous. Owning a roofing business is the ultimate dream for 95% of Kentucky fans.

And Beukeboom goes the dynamite.

I’m surprised the chants didn’t Leetch out into the surrounding crowd more

Man, now chants at a Rangers game. This is getting Messier and Messier.
