I can’t see Everett McGill as a dope. He`s a genuinely gifted intellect who has never had the benefit of an education. The crime he was in prison for was practicing law without a license, which is perfect; I have to imagine he was actually GOOD AT IT, too (head canon, I know). After Hamlet and Bernie Wooster, Everett…

My issue is why a single-gendered species would identify as “male,” rather than simply having no terms for “male” and “female.” Are other species on their planet gendered? Had there once been female Moclans but they died out? If they engage in sexual reproduction (i.e. two individuals have intercourse to reproduce,…

How good can it be? You can only age it four years before it becomes undrinkable.

The point of the pot brownie, as I saw it, was simply to show that asking the ship’s food replicator for a pot brownie was no big deal (no more or less than asking it for a shot of tequila). I’d have been disappointed if the pot brownie HAD turned into a plot point...

I think Pink is truly great, in spite of (or considering) the budget limitations. It looks like it cost about $37 to make, but it seems REAL and it speaks to me profoundly.

In my denomination, that’s one of the central sacraments.

I mean yeah, the first draft might simply mean he had the basic plot fully worked out in that time...

Was Eraser head “even close to coherent”? I honestly don’t remember, and I’m not about to go back and rematch it (I’ll stipulate to it being a masterpiece, so long as I never have to watch it again).

You guys are ALL missing the point. Clooney would be a lot more sympathetic to Bannon if he were a failed ACTOR. But a screenwriter? Even the successful ones are non-persons in Hollywood: “You wanna find a writer? Throw a rock, you’ll hit one. And do me a favor - throw it HARD.”

Read the article. She DID do research, once she learned Harding was a real person. But when she first read the script, she thought it was fiction.

I’d say that Amy Adams would be a good choice for a Hollywood pretty version of Harding. There really AREN’T that many real people who look as good as the actors who end up playing them in the movies... Charlize Theron won an Oscar for playing Aileen Wuornos (sp?), after all.

Yeah, I acknowledge that Brienne wasn’t an inherently BAD choice to send to the parlay, but given that Sansa sending her off (despite Brienne’s own objections) came so shortly after Sansa’s discussion with Littlefinger I figure that - one way or the other - the Sansa/Arya/Baelish stuff was the underlying (if unspoken)…

And ye shall see a cow on the roof of a cotton house, and O so many startlements!

I was afraid that was going to be

Dammit, how can I see more than one comment on Newswires?

One thing that’s been mildly bugging me: What end was Sansa pursuing when she made sure Brienne was out of the way for all this? Littlefinger had earlier made the point that Brienne was sworn to protect BOTH Stark daughters, the implication being not only that she would protect Sansa from Arya the Assassin but also…

When you cut off the Littlefinger, two more fingers will grow in its place!

Brienne + Podric 4 Ever

Lose a leg, gain a half-billion in the divorce settlement. If it weren't for the vegetarianism, I'd say it was a tempting deal.

Your love gives me such a thrill, but your love won't pay my bills.
