I was thinking about that while watching this episode. It felt like a particularly accessible one, which I would think, if anything, would be aired earlier than its intended order, rather than later.

It's gonna take something pretty special to trump the second episode, for me, but this one was definitely superior to last week's. That one was dragged down by spending so much time on the Frankenstein plot (as necessary as that obviously was). This week touched on everybody pretty equally, and still managed some…

The preview sure made that seem like a very real possibility. Go homosexuals!

Damn, I should've thought of that. Yeah, that definitely seems like a plausible expectation.

Gods damn Edmure Tully! If he hadn't fucked up Robb's trap, then Gregor Clegane would've been dead by now, and we'd have gotten more than one season's worth of Oberyn. Even Robb & co. might still be alive if Edmure hadn't taken that mill and those li'l Lannister hostages.

Never knew (2) was an acceptable way to use a colon, with or without a capital letter following it. Thanks for the info.

I'd hope that the apology was mainly intended for Adele, Meg, etc.

I prefer Kevin Dunn of Hot Shots. Neither he nor JLD seems to have aged very much since the 90s.

I'm not sure I ever thought of it that way, but you're definitely right. Silly audience surrogates.

In MK64 that was definitely true, but since Double Dash, hasn't the blue shell flown over every other racer's head on its way to the leader?

She would be a horrible cast, if the movie version of Rogue wasn't already horribly written. As it turns out, she's a pretty fitting cast.

Not a big loss. Never cared for the movies'/X-Men Evolution's Rogue. I much prefer the "sad because NO TOUCHING" thing to be a character note, rather than being her one and only defining trait.

No, she wouldn't be transferring Wolverine's powers, she'd be absorbing Kitty's powers, in order to fill in for her while she was hurt. Though that seems like a stupid and unnecessary complication, as well.

Ha! Mean, but Very well-played.

Funches and two other dudes from Undateable were very funny on @midnight a few days ago. Plus I like Bill Lawrence. Maybe I'll check the show out tonight. Although Chris D'elia does kinda rub me the wrong way.

Well that could be converted to an outdoor game easily enough. By "indoor events" I just meant anything that doesn't involve ice or snow. And now that I think about it, maybe all winter games do involve ice or snow, so nevermind.

Just hold it in Antarctica. Eliminate the indoor events, make the Olympians find their own courses. Get some melting-glacier slalom action. Some athletes going to a totally unsettled land and inventing sports there while surviving the various hazards and shit, THAT would be worthy of all the adoration NBC heaps on our…

Oh man I didn't even put that together. That's golden.

Jim Norton's never really been my cup of tea, but his reaction to Amia's response to his "9-foot dick" comment was fucking hilarious.

Good to know, thanks!
