They sure did. It really hit its nadir in the Terry Moore run. I hear it rebounded a bit after that, but I was done by then. I'm still hoping for a Runaways movie. I used to think Dennis Haysbert as Geoffrey Wilder, but he's getting a bit old for the part.

Okay, in spite of myself I read a synopsis for S5E10. Tristayne went on the ship with Jamie to King's Landing. So that's where he was killed, which means there are two Sand Snakes in King's Landing now. Maybe they can do something useful, like kill The Mountain (again).

Was the ship where Trystane was killed docked at King's Landing, or was it at Sun Spear at that point? I thought the latter when I watched the episode, but now that I see how confused everyone is, I'm not sure. I figured Trystane just liked to hang out on ships. Yeah, it makes no sense how the Sand Snakes got to him…

Yeah, imagine if Sansa was a thirteen-year-old in the last season.

Oh, Ciaran Hinds is the actor. I thought I'd forgotten another GoT character for a second. Still, very Westerosi sounding name he's got there.

This conversation must reach a Cerseise immediately.

I could have gone for the Legend of Mabel. Legend of Isadora, perhaps.

I don't remember his family situation in the show. Fewer children than he started with, anyway. Would having kids make him unique in the Night's Watch, though? And does the show even care about those sorts of details?

Right. I get those two mixed up, since they basically take place at the same time and are similarly miserable.

Was ADWD the one with Brienne's futile search for Sansa? The one where she repeats, ad nauseum, "I'm searching for my sister, a fair maid of three and ten with auburn hair"? Because that was the most tedious storyline yet, even if it did lead to Lady Stoneheart.

So is Davos going to join the Night's Watch now? Does he have anywhere else he can go? If the Lannisters don't get him, the Iron Bank will at least want to have a word with him about Stannis's debt. Davos for 999th Lord Commander?

Ernie works in the mailroom, I believe. He was there in the flashbacks with Jimmy and Kim. He mentioned missing the mail run in the last episode.

But Thor is mighty!

Why he needed to pick up Selvig remains a mystery, however.

More unpopular opinion: I was okay with the Thor cave sequence. He was thrown off by his SW-inspired vision, and he needed to figure things out. And we got to learn about the Infinity Stones (again)! The only thing that bothered me about that part was the presence of Dr. Selvig. Does Thor not like bathing alone or…

And also in Mystery Men. It's a trope now!

Was …. was that an actual line in a real Simpsons episode?

I got to see Basia when she stopped in Norman on her way to SXSW last month. Along with The Weather Station and Oklahoma's own Samantha Crain. An amazing evening with those ladies. I drank only Canadian beer in honor of our guests.

Deirdre balk ThinkPad.

Well, that kills my theory about the arm. See, I figured that when Anakin built C-3P0, he intended for him to be all red, but the Jedi council or somebody was like, "No, Padawan, he must be gold. You'll understand when you're not a punk kid." So when Kylo Ren said he was going to finish what Vader started, he meant…
