I expect an epic season full of heartbreaks and triumphs. But what I will NOT abide, my friends, is any lack of little bad ass Lyanna Mormont not getting front and center kicking the living shit out of some white walkers like a little Bear Island Yoda!!!  Who’s with me?  Who will answer the call?!?!  

Yes, again, I apologize for not considering crew members more in my comments, which were a fairly lame attempt at humor I see in retrospect.

She genuinely seems very cool and down to Earth. I’m really looking forward to seeing this on opening weekend. 

So true. I should have acknowledged him for praising the crew. I always feel like actors praising the crew is a good point with which to judge them. ... like seeing people who are nice (or not) to servers at restaurants. 

If I’m the Mandarin hotel group, wouldn’t I have him START with his being a fan of the hotel, and then spend more time talking about the hotel’s attributes?  I mean... ads cost money, right? 

I’m not an unsympathetic guy. I hate a truly draining, grueling day as much as the next bloke. But I’ll not expend too much for this group of people, most of whom were unknowns and can now pick their projects after being launched into international superstardom. Enjoy your break. I hope each of the characters quoted…

Is there a bigger poster boy for whispy-ness and soft hands than Jared Kushner?  He just looks like a total puss. 

I can’t get enough of 2 Dope Queens and hope HBO extends their engagement for a long time. It’s only 4 episodes. Certainly the talent and HBO can come together for 4 shows a year, no?

Whatever happens, can we get back to some CASES and COURTROOMS next season? I don’t mind some good, soapy tangents, but this isn’t an espionage show.

First of all, I take issue with the Raditude takedown of “Can’t Stop Partying.” Lil Wayne only makes this very funny song even better (And yes I did own a water proof Samsung 7!!)

Love Mane. You can’t name a single team that doesn’t likely wish he was really playing for them. 

Is it possible to fall more and more in love everyday with a complete stranger? Strict hypothetical... I could have put this question into the comments section of, you know, any blog post.

I would sure be happy if Mark Meadows isn’t a racist ... but he’s still a Freedom Caucus, Trump defending sack of crap.  Do we have to forgive him those sins?  I think not, Mr. Chairman!! 

I suppose it depends on the cost of living where one lives, so a state-by-state if not region by region comparison would be necessary to determine if 7% is TOO GENEROUS to landlords in this case. But I can tell you things are so bad in California that no politician in his (Our Gov. is a man) right mind would sign…

I don’t care what they do ... so long as Donna Martin fucking graduates, ok?!

Yes, Ali was fantastic but that sort of goes without saying. Yes, a lead and supporting would be fantastic. 

Of course Barrasso is leading the charge against this. Like all Republicans without spines, he doesn’t want a primary challenge from a Trumpeter, so he has to spout the most right-wing crap possible. And his WY senate colleague Mike Enzi can already let him know who that primary challenge would come from... a lady by…

Saddest of all is the contrast this meeting would have taken with State Senator Kevin de Leon as their host. Had he beaten Feinstein last fall. His record on energy and climate issues is at the TOP of all California pols, and he would have likely been a Green New Deal CO-SPONSOR had he prevailed.

Did it ever even END? For two years, I’ve had guys I know — hard core for Bernie, who I like and all — STILL post things to Facebook about the latest “horrible thing” Hillary Clinton did (Like, I don’t know, send a solid Tweet but Heaven forbid AFTER others had Tweeted the same sentiment) ... all the while Donald…

Well... maybe HE will.
