The fact that the worst possible outcome for someone captured by law enforcement in America has worsened since the Cold War is a pretty depressing thing.

I didn't find it that surprising that virtually everyone at the embassy is KGB. It's the height of the Cold War, and this is the consulate of Soviet Republic in America. It makes sense to load it with as many spies as possible.

It really reminded of a scene from the last season of Mad Men where Peggy comes to say goodbye to Don and by the end of their conversation he's just holding her hands to his lips and almost breaking into tears.

I wouldn't be so sure. Mad Men may just be getting started, but it's a pretty safe bet that Elizabeth Moss has another great season. Meanwhile Homeland, the new Emmy darling isn't even back on yet and if Claire Danes is anywhere close to as good as she was last season, she'll be a serious contender.

It's already been used. That what set Stannis' ships in Blackwater bay on fire.

I wonder what Robb's going to have to give up to get the Frey's to pitch in with him especially given his precarious position and the fact that he's practically snubbed them. The problem is that he'd already offered the biggest thing he could offer - to marry into the family - and I don't see how he could possible…

I'm hoping, as I'm sure are many fans of The Good Wife, that we get Florrick, Agos and Associates and have that firm go head to head with Lockhart Gardner next season.

You are the worst. Was it as good as everyone made it out be?

Get tissues when you do. I think I cried pretty much all the way through.

It's going to be a very emotional day for me. Especially because it looks like the final season is going to end just as I finish college.

Oh god. I'm getting a little weepy just thinking about it, and I don't cry that easily. If ever there was a show that had terrible seasons only to recover and build itself anew again that was it.

The things I've heard about that LCD Soundsystem concert. I wish I'd known of them in time to go to this concert becuase I would have paid scalper prices and taken the bus home to NY to be a part of that experience.

ChumHum wanted to acquire the company for its IP. Executive partners at LG may have encouraged Alicia to pursue a unionizing strategy because that would drive down the price of the company making it cheaper for ChumHum to acquire.

@avclub-2462a76f718c97cfa773e42865b6ae51:disqus I can see why that would bother you, but the show has gone to great lengths to demonstrate that the indoctrination program that the Unsullied go through is more heinous than any of us could imagine.

This is one of the best things I've seen tonight, and it's one that includes stellar episodes of Thrones, Mad Men and Veep.

The reactions of Barristan Selmy and Jorah Mormont as they realized what they were now a part of were probably my favorite part of this episode. They've called themselves the Queensguard, but you could see that it was at that moment they realized how real their journey had become.

I haven't watched this yet, but will very soon. In the mean time I've here to demand my Mad Men thread.

That's totally why I clicked on the link. The coincidence was too alluring.
