He also did The Constant. Still the best self-contained 1 ep story I ever seen, on any show.

I'd be fascinated to see any sort of breakdown (statistical or self-reported) via polling or whatever about people in the legal profession's views RE: Chuck v. Jimmy, and that of non-lawyers just watching this show for entertainment. A lot of the "Chuck defenders" (yes I know both characters are flawed and complex,…

So i guess Everybody's Fave Joanie is in on this evil conspiracy too eh? Because if you recall, Don didn't give two fucks about Peggy and Ted when he saw them doing that stuff around the office, or even when he ran into them two at the theater. Megan seemed like way more excited about seeing them than Don did.

But he DID let Ted try to finesse. Ted's attempt did not work. He was just like you wanted an ad that was more hip than your old ones … SO we jacked up the budged 5 fold. WTF. That doesn't fly in real life, IMO.

Then why did Weinar show Ted unconvincingly try to save the budget for a good while before Don jumped in?

Yeaaa I skipped all that Shakespeare Cliffnotes stuff in the review because Shakespeare is boring as fuck and i lack teh edumacations and uncultured and shit.

I feel like I interpreted the episode very differently from the reviewer, especially the Don and Pete scenes.

@RedScarab:disqus RE: Violence on tv - in Spartacus we get pregnant woman stabbing, child throat slitting, dudes getting their cocks cut off (w/brief glimpses of the aftermath), ppl hurling themselves off cliffs while holding newborns, people dying after vomiting up poison, crucifixion, partial crucifixion, and all…

@avclub-7aefa9e2af18cd9e2fde628a5e813aa5:disqus But wasn't Arya raised in that exact same family (as a girl too) learning the exact same shit Sansa bought? Yet Arya, who is many years younger, has been quick to adapt to the ways of the world they live in and come to see things for the way they are (or, at least in a…

OK other than instinctively pushing a child out the window and maiming his for life (Hey, that's pretty darn bad…) the rest has been pretty balanced between morally good & bad from a consequentialist standpoint.

It's like those conspirasahss about how the US GUBMINT is really controlled by X # of shadowy "multinational" corporations, etc. Tywin is the money and the power and the head of the family that controls the Throne. He IS the Throne/King of Westeros at the moment. Robb is fighting Tywin. Danys will fight him. Joff is…

Well she does possess a complete monopoly on the Westeros equivalent of WMDs. She's essentially the only 'country' in this 'world' with a 'nuclear arsenal'. From a GAME THEORY standpoint, she isn't being cocky if she does hold this trump card. She's exercising leverage for her absolute best interests.

The stuff he spat at Jaime about how lords and other nobles always think low-borns can be bought for anything as long as there is gold seemed to come from a real place if you think about it. We've seen many of the characters (Nobles) do pretty crappy things to random background peasant people as part of the plot or…

I think after the Unsullied 'rebellion' she realized she had a widespread and plentiful source of fighters for the army she's trying to mass up. Invading the seven kingdoms will take more than a couple thousand elite soldiers, I assume (altho that obviously is a good start). To me, it's kind of like a Spartacus sort…

I, for one, couldn't stop laughing at the hilarity of it. How Sansa is really the densest person in the 7 Kingdoms (now that NEDDDD is dead). And how Loras put on his best OK gotta POWER thru this face/pretending like he was interested. Yes, I know it was supposed to be a set-up for how her poor little dreams got…

She was raised by Ned Stark. Never had a chance.

And both of her closest advisors jumping in to tell her not to sell the dragon only sealed the deal in the eyes of the slaver. Their genuine reactions against selling the dragon only made her case look more realistic.

There's a show you might like. It's called "Spartacus".
