Guitar nerds: Grady Martin's playing his double-neck Bigsby with the mandolin on top.

I hope that the "rumor" confirmed by Qyburn's spies is not the existence of a shit ton of wildfire cooling under the Sept of Baelor.

If CBS wants to sell its CBS All Access, it needs content that makes consumers happy to pay $5.99 a month to watch network TV, content that stands out from a host of other shows as something different. Looking for a show with the "ability to become (a long-running hit) that CBS can eventually sell into syndication"…

Live albums are usually redundant to a band's career, and Soul Asylum's is no exception, but they did a really good one in 1997. Two high schools were flooded out on the North Dakota-Minnesota state line just before prom. So the band played a free prom for both high schools in a hangar at Grand Forks AFB, with…

…and that Chris Carter would somehow not be.

"It's milk and eggs, bitch."

Ronald; pronounced with an ONALD.

One, mainstream audiences prefer singers to instrumentalists, no matter what they play.

Brick was great. Ridiculous, but great.

Irene Adler. Maybe closer to Rachel McAdams' portrayal than Lara Pulver's. Or maybe not.

"Simpsons" reference acknowledged.

Velcoro's lieutenant said that.

The officers on scene should have locked down the street exits from the warehouse with radio cars and spike strips. At the very least, they could have noticed the protest taking place a block or two over, and made sure that they flushed any fleeing suspects away from that.

My (admittedly non-LEO) experience of government has shown that the top always assigns blame to the middle or bottom for a public failure, even if that failure was something over which they may have had very little control. Obviously, it works for the top often enough that it happens pretty much every time.

The Baratheons and Boltons will fight to the last man over the North, and the Lannisters and Tyrells will do the same over the Iron Throne. At the end of it, Lord Petyr Baelish will step over the bodies of the dead to kill the weakened victors in both places. That will make him Lord Paramount of four of the Seven…

I'm not so sure that it wasn't Sansa's intent to use her sexuality (or even her entirely logical fear) to excite her new husband, jaded with his paramour. The Boltons desperately want an heir out of Sansa to legitimize their hold on the North, and Sansa will be much less useful to them alive if she bears them one;…

Mance looks at the pyre soaked in oil, and then back at Stannis. "What the fuck did I do?"

I think the drama the show is trying to create (not always successfully) is the transformation of an untrained and inexperienced civilian with a lot to lose into a spy willing to risk everything he has.
