I watch this with my housebuddy, who has read all of the comics, and I've learned not to ask questions because it makes him want to tell me, but I've also told him not to. He says the show doesn't follow the comics *exactly*, but he has a pretty good idea of where it's going next. Always seems a little disappointed at…

I thought it was King. How did the reviewer hear "Cake"?

"So long Ray Conlin, you will oddly be missed. Dominic Fumusa had solid chemistry with Claire Danes and I would have liked to see more of that pairing." I agree. Such an old, old trope - the "I know all about it, but I can't tell you now, meet me at …" Still, since I had DVR'd it, it was the better choice over 45's…

Ygritte would never avoid a good fight!

My prophecy: Negan will be taken down by Eugene, not Rick. Dwight will be his sidekick. Sherry is alive and well, and might just join the Alexandrians or Hilltoppers.

Hahaha. I did better work in Home-Ec 65 years ago, and I did *awful* in Home-Ec. Still can't sew (hand or machine) a straight seam, so no longer try.

Is the countdown clock for LA only? What about all the other blocs? The "original" countdown clock was for the Arrival. Doesn't seem likely this one is for LA only.

Don't suppose we can get an "experts" reviewer on tap as well? I'd read both - I do for Thrones.

My ears aren't that good. I was going with the Graeco/Egyptian "Ptolemy" thing.

Oh, you're right. That totally fled my own memory. Still, I wonder where the name Ptonomy came from. Just doing a bit of word association this morning.

It's pronounced "tonomy," right? As in a short form of *au*tonomy. Just struck me. He can access everyone's memories. Does he have some of his own?

I still like it. Especially the pervasive gloom. If you ever thought you wanted to live in early 19th century London, this show will change your mind. You can almost smell the rot. The bad breath. The clothes that are rarely cleaned. Who is carrying Zilpha's bath water and how soon does it cool?

Well, he's in Book 6, if that helps.

I watched 24:Legacy and Homeland back to back last night. Now having trouble remembering which show is which. :)

That crowd got awfully big awfully fast - why weren't they all over at Sekou's? I suspect it has something to do with the "man across the street."

Confessions of an old white lady in Seattle: I did not notice that Maia was the only white lawyer. I assumed the long line was because she (the newbie) was taking more time with each person - and that word had filtered down - someone was listening to them. But yeah, it was obviously the white thing. Sigh.

Yeah, I seem to remember a hint about that - Julievette not killing Kelly. But I like Adelind as a good guy better than I liked Juliette, who does a much better bad-ish guy, so I suppose they'll just have to work it out between themselves (and the tell the writers. :)

I've been waiting through post-apocalyptic dystopia after post-apocalyptic dystopia for someone to write in a group of SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism) folks who were, perhaps, at a Ren Faire when the disaster hit. Hoped for a moment that the Kingdom would turn out to be one, but no. Then thought maybe the…

Would love to hear Colbert counter the fake news with the true-true. :)
