Dumb or drunk, though? I guess it doesn't really matter either way.

Working in Downtown San Diego this week, I can confirm this is true. :/

I was thinking that maybe it was rigged to blow with Dragon Fire, given that earlier in the episode Cersei and Jaime discussed that it would be Dany's landing point. One would think they could have booby-trapped it a bit.

Talk about a twist! That one had the effect of unifying dozens - if not hundreds! - of worlds into one cinematic universe.

An unexpected plot twist - the Night King and White Walkers and undead army gather and mass just north of the Wall, and then… the Wall actually fulfills its intended purpose. The Night King/White Walkers can't get past it. Everything that happened in the Night's Watch and north of the wall was a giant red herring.

Not really a spoiler, though, given that even a cursory glimpse of the AV Club comments section will show a striking resemblance to the undead hordes in The Walking Dead.

You're welcome!

Given the show's love of killing off the dire wolves, I was glad that Ghost wasn't a participant in the BotB.

I took two hours stacking them up in that pyramid, and here you two come and run through them! It's gonna take me another two hours to stack them up again! Gee, thanks a lot.

Neither is there speculation regarding Ghost. Double shame.

Cleganebowl is still a real possibility (what is hype may never die, after all; and there's not really any other narrative purpose for the Hound to be alive, short of maybe a reunion with Arya), but I suppose it will no longer be to settle a trial by combat.

I used to be the same way, but I've shifted. Cans are generally better for beer than bottles that don't require aging (they block all light, are 100% sealed so there's no air-exchange happening, etc). I believe the main reason most craft breweries don't can is due to the expense associated with getting a canning…

Don't know about Rogue, but Stone was at one point a great place to work, but last year they brought in a new CEO - Dominic Engels, who had previously worked for POM/Wonderful and the Resnick family (truly awful people and awful business practices - pumping out groundwater into their own private reservoirs during a…

2005 is a pretty lean year for action movies though. We'll see what gets picked in two weeks. FWIW, I wouldn't classify 1993's "The Fugitive" as an action movie either, and yet there it is.

My favorite Uma Thurman role is actually in Mad Dog and Glory, which is also a film that makes about as strange a use of Robert De Niro and Bill Murray as I can imagine.

Batman Begins would seem to be the obvious choice, except for the whole superhero genre thing. Still, it was a reboot with enough of a 'we're going to do this pseudo-realistically this time' twist that I can see it taking the pick, and it's hard to deny its influence on today's movies.

A very different genre, but the counterpoint in many of Bach's works still hasn't been matched IMO. Give some of the Brandenburg Concertos a listen and you'll be blown away by the complicated arrangements with multi-layered counterpoint.

I don't see why it matters that it hasn't been brought up as a technical issue. We've known since last season that Chuck's condition is psychosomatic (when they turned on the electric hospital bed and there was no reaction from Chuck). An incomplete circuit shouldn't have any physical effect on Chuck, but actual…

The entire time, I was basically thinking that the Community Service Supervisor likely had qualified immunity to protect against anything Jimmy was threatening, so it didn't really work for me.
