I was relieved Alex didn't read the Hawking quote in Hawking's voice, but I'm on the fence whether that was due to good taste or ignorance

I've always wondered the same thing. We can effectively render 1,000s of people unconscious enough to perform major surgery every day, but we can't do that in conjunction with doing something to permanently end their life?

The brought to mind the bit in Stephenson's System of the World where young poor kids were paid by the families of condemned men to run in and hang on their legs when they are hanged to kill them faster.
I have no idea if that practice is historical accurate, but it surely would fit well into GoT

For sure I don't think he'll make the end of the season - Cercei making a point back in the beginning of the season talking about the prophecy that she'd see all of her children dead made me put him on the dead-man-walking list

Yes. See also - Axle Rose trying to get the "fat Axle" memes taken off the internet

The distance impossibilities aren't really impossibilities. There's nothing in the shows narrative indicating that the various storylines are happening exactly concurrently, That's an assumption we make because of the structure of the show, but really doesn't work out. For example, the events in King's Landing,…

I disagree…I see Grey Worm as the proud wearer of the French maid's outfit

It occurred to me during this category that although I usually hate the guest-star video clues, it would be pretty great if on the next celebrity week they did one of these "stupid answer" categories, and had all the question read by Will Ferrell as Alex

I see it happening hear end-season. A pitched battle happens for Winterfell, Ramsey and Jon end up one-on-one, and Ramsey gets the upper hand. Just before the killing below, he's stabbed from behind from some red-shirt lackey that's been hanging around him the last couple episodes. Lackey then moves his hand across…

Regardless of when he dies, is there any way he dies other than the moon door?

Worse - he chaired the Republican party and didn't answer a single question in the Reagan category!

I think the failure of The Man From UNCLE, which I genuinely enjoyed, is a perfect example of this. A fun, spy movie without splashy special effects and with a more adult sensibility…just not a big sell for modern Hollywood

Is it just me, but when someone starts with "in a world" I read the rest of the comment with Don LaFontaine's voice in my head

M. As in Mancy. Mancy Drew.
CBS, this fall…

Not just any coffee creamer - Hazlenut coffee creamer. That bitch.

So it was basically the doctor version of Mom/Cop Cop/Mom?

Sansa is heading North, Jon is heading South. What are the odds they connect? If it were up to Martin, I'd bet on them passing and barely missing one another, but the show seems a little more intent on bringing dangling plot threads together.

As long as we're off-topic and speaking of awful fantasy writers - I'd love to hear people's pick for most over-rated fantasy writer. For me, I just don't get the Jim Butcher love. I've read a bunch of the Dresden because people kept raving and I though they would get better, but for me, the writing is just kind of…

What makes things worse is those wheel-spinning (no pun intended) books where nothing happens were just shy of 1000 pages long, and there were a few of them consecutively

Could that Dickens category have been more confusing? Random clues that the answers just happened to be in the title of a Dickens novel? And no one understood that they just wanted the word, not the whole title (I think)
