As a matter of strategy, it worked very well. The Vale knights are excellent against infantry in the open field, but would be less effective in a siege. Horses eat a lot.

She was riding beside Littlefinger though, so it seems like before the battle she met him someplace and accompanied/led him and the Vale knights to fthe field.

Since she released her album on Tidal, she has turned Jay-Z cheating on her into a large financial windfall for Jay-Z.

One other funny moment was when Sansa looked at Theon about Brienne's offer, and Theon gave a slight nod while giving the impression of someone fighting the impulse to nod madly, and perhaps yell "Of course yes! How is this a question!?!"

He also got her into the jail by herself, and even got her to confirm that the conditions of confinement were acceptable for the Queen (and therefore for her as well).

The Goldcloaks have basically offered to do it twice, but Tommen won't give the order: doesn't want to be murdering a bunch of priests, and is now worried they'd kill their hostages in response.

Name one monarchy where any of that is true. The ones I'm familiar with involve violent rebellions by lords seeking power, decisions being distorted or ignored by greedy officials, and even 'nice' monarchs not realizing what's happening in their own kingdoms.

I dunno that its so different. I recall when all the nobles were shouting "King of the North" at Robb, there's this shot from the outside where a peasant looks up at hearing the shouts with a clear "wonder what's going on in there" look on his face.

If that had happened, we would have missed Mike Myers' Lorne impression, which confirmed that Dr. Evil is absolutely based on Lorne.

"And I go back to dismember all the time."

I'm not sure I'd agree with that. Michael K. Williams is Chalky White on Boardwalk Empire, Jamie Hector is Link on Person of Interest, two more are on The Walking Dead (with a 3rd about to be added), there's The Affair, Michael B. Jordan's done a ton of things, and then there's Future James Bond.

Its almost impressive that they were able to take a decent idea, assemble a great cast, and produce such a bad result.

If Kirk lives in California, he can sue for marital status discrimination. However, he's out of luck in almost any other state. Most states don't have marital status as a protected class, and it doesn't exist in federal law (though a federal employee cannot be fired for their marital status).

This show made me cringe but never made me smile. I thought it was well-made but painful to watch and not in a fun way.

Maybe part of being able to rule Asgard is that you have to believe that you SHOULD rule Asgard. Ruling wisely, and giving fair consideration to the opinions of others before you give your orders—-but in the end, they will be YOUR orders, and others will need to follow them.

I barely touch criminal law in my practice, so my civil perspective might be showing here, but I've seen attorneys lose cases by making objections and having them sustained. One of my happiest sights is seeing opposing counsel, self-satisfied about a successful objection, oblivious to the fact that the jury is…

Just because she can make an objection doesn't mean she should. Jurors are people, not legal robots.

In addition to rescuing Simmons and Bobbi, invisible plane could have fired on Whitehall's office.

I did see the $1 million number in a lot of places, including: http://nymag.com/daily/inte…

This guy is unreal. He wrote a book that argued that 9/11 was the responsibility of the "cultural left" because all the liberalism made the terrorists mad. Then, while getting paid a cool million a year to head an evangelical college, he goes to an event with his "fiancee" which confused the college because he was…
