So was the first draft of this article just one long paragraph grousing over GoT getting crazy high ratings on pay cable while AV Club's anointed one 'Hannibal' barely escaped cancellation? Bc it definitely seems like that was the jumping off point.

Supergirl vs Power Girl is probably the best part of this ep.

He's not dead.. they've got a sponsorship deal with KFC!

I'm pretty sure the box Varys put Tyrion in was the same box that the magician was delivered in… make of that what you will.

I'm not sure I agree with you, but for argument's sake how was season 1 different? Ned Stark was the archetypal Hero. Everyone not named 'Stark' was somewhere between 'neutral' and 'outright evil' on the moral spectrum. If anything the show truly got morally gray AFTER season 1 when the squeaky clean image of the…

A scene from Tywin Lannister's early years:

As great as Tywin was, for me Charles Dance will always be the assassin with a glass eye in 'Last Action Hero'

Yea I think a lot of the fans would prefer this to be 'The Tyrion Lannister Hour' straight up. Unless she's getting naked or hanging out with CGI dragons there's not a lot of love for Dany either. I've always liked Jon and the Nights Watch, they're 'average joes' that no one wants but the fate of the world is on their…

Well Essos is a big place but I can't imagine sending two major characters across the Narrow Sea and not have them meet the Mother of Dragons.

God I hope they redub that episode for the DVD so that there's no question Cersei is completely on board with having sex on top of her son's corpse (apparently that's OK bc that's how GRRM wrote it) just so you can finally get closure. Anyhoo.. this episode was a roller coaster. A lot of developments seemingly came…

My guess is the title is referring to those 'Ice Babies' we saw the White Walkers make a few episodes back. 30 secs of screen time tops.

Well I'll give Warner the benefit of the doubt on this one. The 'Beard and Harpoon Hand' Aquaman is pretty much the only version that would get taken seriously.

'I guess that depends on your level of disposal income. I wasn't too concerned with the price of either console. Bought them both day 1 and have enjoyed both immensely.'

Definitely the high watermark of the show… I agree that President Clark lacks the punch of previous villains due to him being such a non-presence on the show. I have to wonder if it was due to the compressed episode count for the Earth Civil War or if the actor just didn't have the chops. I mean they were able to get…

You're off the chain!

I'm glad it will be widely available from a legitimate source again. Depending on the price point I might pick it up. If they try selling it for like $40 though I'd have to pass.. games trading on nostalgia aren't exactly in short supply these days.

So in other portrayals of excessive violence in entertainment.. 'Hot Fuzz' was on today and I just realized that's the Hound playing Lurch! That movie just went up a few notches on the awesome meter.

Headless Spiro Agnew for President!

For someone who doesn't look for plot holes that's a pretty thorough analysis of drone tactics.

I kept waiting for them to undo it. Like that first season episode where POTUS was hospitalized and Selina was President for a day. It worked IMO. She got what she wanted, everything was great for 10 minutes, then the reality of her still being Selina Meyer set in.
