Wait. WAIT. Ugh, I clearly wasn't paying nearly as much attention as I should have. Oleanna was holding Ser Dontas's necklace? As in Ser Dontas's very well-timed retrieval of Sansa (which was making me wonder if he was in on it) was intended by Matriarch Tyrell because she may have given him the order to get Sansa…

Oh. Duh. And now I understand the "purple" reference. Thanks!

Cersei's presence at Joffrey's side was definitely framed to be our focus point. But Jaime was right there, too, in an understated way that I also really appreciated since he is Joffrey's father, and Joffrey will never have known it officially. Consider how poorly Joffrey treated Jaime in the season premiere by…

ME. TOO. DO NOT TRUST. I'm wondering, given Charlie Jane's thoughts in last Sunday's episode review (The Hunt for the Wedding Necklace as juxtaposed to Sansa receiving the Fool's mother's necklace), what the deal will turn out to be.

It's like he was channeling Luigi. And I'm not against that.

UGH. Yall. I'm trying to write a presentation/paper that I'm giving next week at a conference, and you link to this? I'm done for. So much nostalgic goodness. When I read that OutKast was performing at Coachella, it actually made me wish I would be there (which never crosses my mind). So I'm happy this is up online…

You know, this might actually be a cute dress, under all this stripedy-stylized distraction.

In the roles I've seen her portray (which is quite limited to the Transformers stuff and Jennifer's Body...I didn't see Jonah Hex), I've seen her play "sexy female role," "sexy female role with a supposed laid-back nonchalance," and "sexy female role as a temptrest with a bit of humorous range." And that is making it…

I cried, too, but more of a "Ugh. This song!" that had more to do with the fact that we were performing a Broadway medley as a song in our chorus repertoire when that episode aired. So I had to hear a snippet version of that song all the damn time in class. So my first contexts for that song were Dawson's Creek and…

I've never seen this one before. It is glorious. Thank you for sharing the glory.

What? No one has told me these things! I need long/extra long pants and hate shopping for them. DAMNIT CHLOE!!

When I travel alone, I try to give myself 90-120 minutes of time before the flight. Even early in the morning. Even when I'm tired. I'd rather be at the airport and run the risk of having a lot of time to kill than run the risk of missing my flight. This is easy to accomplish on my own. I have time to use the…

I've heard this story in a few different places this week. It never would have crossed my mind originally because I always assumed the characters' eyes were focused on the placement of the bowl of cereal or the spoonful of cereal that's typically in the lower region of the cereal box. Their eyes are aligned with their…

I haven't watched the show. That's some sharp advice. I like that motherly character's style .

Good point about the bad side to ice furniture. You know, if she could create snow creatures that were "living," could she create functioning snow furniture? Like a bean bag chair only made of snow. That would be comfortable! (Okay fine, that would basically be a big ball of snow you'd sit in, technically, which…

I had to reread your comment a few times to make sure I was following you. I *think* you're saying that I should be able to like a song regardless of whether it's popular or not. I will admit that my "pretty much officially hate" comment is exaggeration. I don't hate the song—I think it's one of the best…

How long does Elsa actually spend in this castle? Because it's impressive she made it with her previously-super-guilty-shamed ice powers until her moment of "Fuck this!" self-expression through that song I pretty much officially hate now because it's everywhere. And then Elsa hides away in her beautiful ice castle.…

A 2015 release is the earliest they could do, I'm sure. But given series 1 of the anime is over, and they may or may not be working on a second one, will people still care? I'm curious what sort of marketing will be coming out to maintain folks' levels of interest in the franchise if nothing new is being released in…

If they don't cast various non-Japanese actors for the roles, I'm guessing we'll be expected to maintain a suspension of disbelief and pretend we don't notice? Or they might not vocalize that part of Mikasa's identity in the movie, so it'll be a non-issue as far as the movieverse is concerned.

Noooooooope. Can't look at these images for too long. My trypophobia is kicking in and the queasy feeling means I don't ever need to visit this place ever nope.
