I cannot deal with Martin’s writing so I just go for all of the spoilers and honestly I wonder if this episode was even comprehensible to a viewer who doesn’t know the books. This was a sprint.

Oooh. I’ll be giving this a try.

One of the many very stupid aspects of this age is that everyone has decided that products they have purchased or consumed are part of their personal identities — something which should horrify everyone when they think about it.

It’s a rough day when I can vividly remember the scene in the Abyss where Michael Boehm stops the bulkhead door closing with his wedding ring (don’t try this at home, kids) but the only thing I can remember about Avatar are being excited to see a facehugger in a jar (and sad that this wasn’t explicitly an Aliens…

Yeah, I’d expect a professor at VCU to know all about bad drug interactions.

Yes, it’s a shame how Community has been dominating programming schedules and movie release windows for the past 25 years.
