Yep, she was Judy Garland and the faceless guards were dressed as Fred Astaire. Her dialogue references quite a few lines from the movie, just like her Bowie dialogue referenced so many of his songs. "Easter Parade" is a fun musical; I hope that you get to see it!

I was sure that when Shadow asked, "Did that really happen?" that they'd cut to him seeing the teeth still on the table to prove that it did.

Crap. Thanks, that was a stupid mistake on my part!

When he's just about to ask how he did that and pulls back, realizing there's really no point since he knows he won't get a straight answer (or he will but won't believe it).

Yeah, they never did pay that off. Huh. I can't even think of a character who would have used it in their final confrontation with Ember and Umber. I don't think they were ever planning to kill the gods, just get them back together.

The Life and Death Brigade was a Yale thing; I can't remember the seasons since I haven't watched the show since it aired. I thought it was a dream sequence when the scene first started with the neon lights changing messages as she walked under them. I'd forgotten all about the gorilla masks, too, which made it that…

If it doesn't continue we'll be spared the subplot of Logan's dad accusing Rory of getting pregnant on purpose to shoehorn her progeny into his illustrious family tree or alternately taking the baby from her (if it's a boy) to be raised properly.

I kind of wanted to see the movie but after this I'm hesitant. Maybe I'll read the book (so much purer! :P ).

I haven't been reading any articles about the new season so I assumed the ending was a set-up for the next one. I was pretty surprised that the writers said this was the wrap-up.

I'm glad it wasn't just me! I'd forgotten all about that club so I thought she was dreaming this last outing as a way of processing her feelings; I never imagined any 30-somethings would actually do that frivolous crap.

That was an actual Bud Light commercial from the '80s; I remember it airing back then and being just as groan-worthy. I loved them committing to that entire sitcom sequence, myself.

We need the Arya/Melisandre/Sandor Klegane show to get on the road next season!

Good job on banishing Melisandre instead of killing her while you had the chance, Jon Snow. I'm sure THAT won't come back to bite you in the butt!

Maybe one of his little birds is a giant eagle a la LotR. They solve lots of little plot holes!

Resting Stark Face.

I suppose she liberated the one where The Waif's face is now. Kind of a "take a penny, leave a penny" arrangement.

I love Edna Mode to the point where I bought a talking Edna Mode doll that will tell you how unfabulous you are when you ask it for fashion advice (until you take out the batteries because it starts talking in an empty room, Furby-style).

That's one reason I was really looking forward to the Dinosaur movie to the point where I made it an event to see it at the local Alamo Drafthouse on Thanksgiving day. Turned out to be a very meh story with plain characters and photo-realistic backgrounds. It was just a kid's movie, which is fine, but I expected more…

I left the theater with this vaguely dissatisfied feeling. They'd added those Pixar touches like developing a new animation technique to portray every single strand in the tapestry, but to what end? A slightly-better Disney story? Meh. How To Tame Your Dragon felt more Pixar-like than Brave did.

Heck, Lasseter even dragged the crew on a Route 66 road trip to try and infuse them with his passion for the project. So much effort for something that turned into a Larry the Cable Guy vehicle (so to speak).
