“This sounds like the kind of thing that Robert De Niro’s character would say to someone in Goodfellas right before they got whacked.”

Sears going under is going to be a DISASTER. Forget 140,000 suddenly looking for jobs, there’s probably that many or more going to lose their pensions, and they sure as shit aren’t going to be able to go back to work.

The dogs have to interact with humans. When dragons are in the sky they look great, but as soon as Dany gets on one the illusion really breaks down.

You’ve made that perfectly clear.

The first time I was ever called the N-word (elliptically, but both behind my back and to my face) was at Scout Camp.

whoa never expected an Anno comparison. suddenly this is on my radar!

Rick gets a friend from outer space that only he can see!

Love The Nib, love it. I highly recommend subscribing, it’s a daily pick-me-up for me.

How is it remotely fucking possible that the IRS isn’t *REQUIRED* to turn over the tax returns of every currently serving public official??

I think we need to double-down on the beta male rhetoric re: Trump. He’s a chocolate cake and ice cream hoarding cheeseball, not a tough guy. He’s a pageant judge. And I can’t think of anything him or his moronic fans/voters would take as a more grievous insult.

Do tell!!! I love a good nerdy breakup.

But the *show* answers 1) with ‘Damn Jon, you were so rad beating up the Boltons and losing all your men.’ and 2) with ‘Damn Tyrion, I’ve got a good feeling about you despite spending no time together!’.

I feel like it will be Robin Arryn who will be her ace, one way or another.

whoa. what movie??

I think there is an Ice Magic reveal in the works but it won't have directly to do with the Wall, but with Winterfell. "There must always be a Stark in Winterfell, etc etc" might have something to do with holding Winter (the normal season and/or the endless night version) at bay, or something to do with the…

Yes, this. Show Littlefinger is mostly just… mean? Book Littlefinger is always fifteen steps ahead of everyone else.

Dean Winters continuing survival started to really irk me. He could manipulate any group into doing apparently anything, just cuz?

Yeah I really liked that part in Season 7 when they brought back in Android Braugher as Agent Frank Pembletron, and only the captain could see him. Wild stuff.

Gawd, I would love a worthy (and modernized) action/builder sim in the vein of ActRaiser. Like God of War 5/Banished 2. What could go wrong?

I am always happy to have Hallie as a fourth, but I like Zhubin's nervy nerdy energy when one of the three peaches need replacing.
