The blog on the piedpiper.com website alludes to Jared having been a rescue from white supremacist foster parents.

Similar (distate not so strongly felt) about Tim Allen, who otherwise does nothing for me, in Galaxy Quest where he is perfection in a perfection pie.

I only just discovered the Garfunkel & Oates reruns on Netflix, and in episodes 3 and 5 they date TJ Miller (Erlich) and Kumail Nanjiani (Dinesh) respectively. Miller's character could pass for a younger Erlich before he founded Aviato and became a successful visionary.

White Walkers can create wights juts by killing humans or even finding their corpses. They left Craster alone in exchange for living babies so living babies are evidently worth more. The implication was the Night King can turn them into new White Walkers, something more valuable than a baby-sized wight.

If Stannis captured Theon (or received him as a gift from an escaped Sansa), would Theon have the "king's blood" needed for a victory sacrifice?

Famously capsule reviewed by TV Guide as "Arguably the best movie ever made about a man-eating hog"

Steve Schwarzman, Kenneth Lagone, and Tom Perkins! All billionaires who recently compared the ultra-rich's unpopularity to the Holocaust. I was wondering if someone would say Gavin's faux pas was far fetched, it's a bit of recent reality that deserves to be lampooned.

The "young women at Winterfell as Sansa arrived" had Myranda in the foreground, Ramsay's girlfriend and partner in torture murder. I'd assume the others are his current harem who likewise don't know where they'll stand with Ramsay married.

I wasn't clear if the prostitute was herself a little person. But no the actress playing "Clea", Gwyneth Keyworth, is normal size with interesting bone structure.

SWG's space game is the part I miss most apart from palling around with badly dressed Wookiees. Closest thing to one more X-Wing game, first to actually have multi-player ship crews (when it worked it was incredible), and the constant tuning and customizing. You could actually have a party in your yacht and watch

Auslag hasn't been my favorite character, but I enjoyed Auslag-on-the-throne this episode. Especially her expression as the missionary fails the iron bar test.

A family dinner with an terrifying unhinged murderer that manages to feel genuinely joyful and tender. When you've got Kyle Maclachlan you aim for the sky.

Monty Python's Spamalot has an epic duet "The Song That Goes Like This" that modulates up with every verse, to the point where the singers start to lose their shit. https://www.youtube.com/wat…

The soundtrack has even more great songs you miss or barely hear in the movie, like Dear Mr President and Mulatto ("One whole is good but two halves is better / Run through the jungle in a powder blue sweater.") And John C Reilly wrote them himself!

All the truly great satire is as good as or better than the material it's making fun of. Spinal Tap, Walk Hard, hell Pirates Of Penzance. Songs that are just supposed to be funny because they state a gag premise are down on the Friedberg & Seltzer "Not a ____ Movie" level.

For someone who just wants to sing the song, the half step up can go from "chords you know" to "chords you don't know," which on a guitar might not include nice easy open-string ones. But Rainbow Connection is worth learning some new chords dammit.

RAINBOW motherfrogging CONNECTION at "probably maaa- giiiic" making it more than probably magic. It drives me nuts when someone singing a cover takes the easy road and doesn't modulate there. The Rainbow Connection non-modulator makes me VERY ANGRY.

Thorunn's potentially interesting because after gaining her freedom she chose to train as a shieldmaiden as an adult, rather that growing up with it like Bjorn. We saw with Horik's invasion that no one is a stranger to battle, and granted part of the fun is the Vikings' alien values, but I'd like to see more into her

I assumed Dottie's rifle wasn't entirely misdirection, that she was reserving the option to kill the fake defector if he became a liability. And he'd be extra motivated to signal clearly knowing her flashing signal was from a rifle scope on an actual rifle.
