Excellent point.
I do want to meet her tailor however.

You're right, of course. But booze helps.

My biggest problem with the timing of the episode is, however you figure it, Dany could have apparently flown a dragon up there with one of the people who knows the land north of the Wall, gotten a look at the army of the dead, and been home in time for tea & biscuits.
So the idea that she was too busy with other…

Ah yes. Now I do recall.
Thanks!

Is it really a surprise that Sansa is learning from Cersei? She's flat out said as much.
Also, Littlefinger's advise to Sansa is absolutely right & on the nose. Coldblooded, but right.
Tyrion had more screen time than he's had in a while. We want more. He's still the coolest, most interesting, & just flat out enjoyable…

Best… movie… ever.
No, seriously, this is my favorite movie, hands down.
LOCAL HERO is very close. And recently SING STREET. And A BOY & HIS DOG. And CHARADE.
God help me, who am I?

SKEPTIC magazine was actually inspired to create a section of their magazine for kids called JUNIOR SKEPTIC by an episode of THE SIMPSONS showing Lisa reading a magazine of that name.

I had never heard that Bass Reeves was the basis for The Lone Ranger.
The story I've heard was that Reeves (and a couple other Marshals that worked the Indian Territories) were the inspirations for Rooster Cogburn of TRUE GRIT fame.
My guess is that the writers may have chosen a more easily recognizable character.
If…

This may be really obscure, but what about MARWENCOL. I'm not sure how they could make it more bizarre than the original but it would be fun to see them try.

Gees, if yer gonna make a movie about makin' sausage, (and dats what dis movie is really about) den you shoulda set it in Milwaukee, eh? Dem assholes in Chicago don't know shit about makin' a good brat.
GO PACKERS!

Behind the scenes docs: BURDEN OF DREAMS, HEARTS OF DARKNESS, LOST SOUL: THE DOOMED JOURNEY OF RICHARD STANLEY'S ISLAND OF DR. MOREAU, etc.

The best thing about the show is that it's very funny on it's own, but it sends you looking for the actual films, most of which are very good.
The one problem is that when you do that (as I did with THE EYE DOESN'T LIE & THE THIN BLUE LINE) you find yourself cracking up at otherwise dark films because you pick up on…

Capturing The Friedmans could work if it starts off really dark but then the crime turns out to be something absurdly innocuous.

I would love to see them take a shot at the absurd UFO shows on the "History" Channel. (Does anyone remember when they actually did reasonably good stuff about actual history?).
But they seem more interested in walking the fine line between spoof & homage of genuine documentaries.
And if they continue to be this good,…

I think maybe a better story for the PC theme would have been the death threats sent to the orthodontist who shot Cecil the lion.
Let's face it, a huge percentage of people who went absolutely ape shit over this story wouldn't have even known a lion had been killed if it wasn't a tourist attraction with a name.
I hope…

I kind of liked the power grid flickering in & out.
I know nothing of how it works, but lets say there is a "zombie problem" at one relay station. A switch doesn't get switched at the right time so the lights flicker. That problem is brought under control, or a station down the line corrects for it. Then another…
