They should just fashion a suit of armor with spikes of dragon-glass sticking out of it, porcupine style. Strap it onto a big lad like Hot Pie, and make him run full-tilt into the army of wights. Job done. It would be both hilarious and effective.

Has the Night King really done anything thus far to make us root for him any less than anyone else? It's not like the others are bastions of pacifism either. Say what you like about the Night King, he gets the job done. I feel like he and Stannis would have gotten on well together. We haven't heard the Night King say…

Is goat really the most popular meat in the world? I've traveled the world pretty extensively, and it's not that common to see it on the menu. I appreciate that it's very popular in heavily populated countries like North Africa, Pakistan, and south Asia, which boost the consumption stats, but I wouldn't describe it as…

I was behind Morrissey going through security a few years ago. He couldn't scurry away to the First Class lounge fast enough. TSA though - The Great Leveler.

"Consider this the carrot. Believe me, you don't want the stick."

Not Mike the Headless Chicken. Maybe he should sit on the Iron Throne in the end.

For once, I'm going to give Tucker Carlson the benefit of the doubt and assume that he was being dryly facetious on this one occasion. I honestly don't think that anyone could make a statement like that in all seriousness.

If they have an anchor chain, then presumably they have a ship. Why don't the dead just take to the high seas? That would take the wind out of Euron's sails the next time he descends onto the deck like some 80's rock-star.

Off-topic, but could somebody remind me why exactly they had Bran sit out a whole season? I feel like his character drifted into irrelevance as a result of that decision.

I like how the number one sponsered link below is for psoriasis remedies. That's some clever advertising right there.

Spray-paint "HBO wuz here".

In no universe - not even the one that this movie's games take place in - is a denim jacket and jeans combination considered stylish.

"Confused" is such an odd choice of word. Amazed, envious, awed…any of those would make sense. But "confused"? I've always wondered whether it was just a language barrier slip on Lars part.

Didn't sound to me like any animal was being harmed. If anything, love all the way.

Sounds like it's going to be a rare death-free week on GOT (other than the red shirt armies).

Not a thing. Complete blank slate. Sometimes that's a good thing. Other times…not so much.

Twin Peaks has always been one of my favorite shows of all time, if not the best, but watching it tonight with my girlfriend in the room (who has never seen it), I felt vaguely embarrassed at the acting in certain scenes. I ended up mumbling "it's one of those shows that you need to have seen from the very beginning,…

With album one, for sure. I can't see them ever topping the combo of Tunnels, Power Out, and Wake Up.

DC should think about casting Scaramucci as the next Joker. That mouth…

Was Reflektor really that highly regarded? My recollection - admittedly perhaps inaccurate because it represents my own feeling - is that it too was disappointing (but for the stellar title track), especially after the greatness of The Suburbs (my No.2 album of 2010 after "High Violet" by The National).
