Damask?

If all a person is doing is listening to terrible music, going to concerts and painting their face like a five year old, it's kind of fucked up that the FBI gets to classify you as a gang, with real world consequences such as loss of employment or child custody. I can't believe I'm saying this but… I agree with the…

I was hoping it would be like How to Train Your Dragon, where Jon would put his hand out, and the dragon bridges the gap and moves its own head forward to touch his hand. Aww.

I guess so. I just had it in my head that the guy who said he's not good at fighting but is good at making weapons should, you know, be making weapons.

Still weird they wouldn't take any with them. I mean, it's right there.

This is what I don't get. Doesn't anyone who dies at the wall, or north of the wall turn into a white walker? Wouldn't it be easier to just kill someone (volunteer or criminal) in a cage or something and bring that cage to King's Landing?

I paused to read it. It is the one Catelyn gets and obviously recognizes that Sansa wrote it under duress. Hopefully Arya sees through it too.

I'm slightly annoyed that instead of using the awesome blacksmith they've found to craft weapons with all the Dragonglass they've acquired, he's just going to be swinging his hammer at zombies north of the wall. Alright, I guess that does sound pretty cool.

You probably shouldn't read YouTube comments as a general rule, but the Brienne/Arya scene was uploaded to YouTube and then recommended to me, so I had that spoiled. I didn't watch it, but the title of the video implied that Arya was going to kill Brienne, so I was a bit nervous about that happening, but happy the…

I almost kind of wish that's how it'll go, just for how they'll tell Cersei.
"Half of the army was slaughtered by Dothraki and the other half was burned alive by a dragon!"
"What about Jamie?"
"He drowned."
"…What?"

I was thinking that too, but I think the one genuine thing about Littlefinger was how much he loved Catelyn, and it seemed odd for him to send an assassin after her kid, especially if the guy almost killed her too.

My memory is terrible - there was a lot of focus on the Valyrian steel dagger. Did we ever find out who sent the assassin to kill Bran? Wasn't it Cersei because Bran saw her and Jamie having sex? Or was Littlefinger involved somehow?

Unbreakable Kimmie Schmidt also had a plastic-surgery-actor-switcharoo in the last season. That was definitely a downgrade, but I think this will work, especially since McKinley was one of my favorite characters, and it's nice that his role isn't limited to Cooper's availability.

Probably. He knows Ellaria killed Marcella since they argued about it while they were at Dragonstone. He probably knows Tommen is dead since the news of a king dying would probably get spread very quickly. Plus, Cersei wouldn't have any reason to be on the throne unless Tommen was out of the picture.

The latest ep of Reply All ("Long Distance") completely swerved me in the first five minutes. It seemed like it was going to be a rote episode of someone messing with a telemarketer, but it took such a left turn that I was pleasantly surprised. I won't spoil it, but I highly recommend it.

My brain stopped reading at animated dog cocks. 5 stars!

Yeah that was super gross, I pretty much had my hands over my eyes the whole time - I don't do body horror very well.

That's interesting, especially since I thought when the video was first brought up, it was just a way to show how Ellie was still dealing with the fallout from her husband's crime. The fact that they brought it up again probably means that it has more significance.

The spank? Isn't the entire video spanking?

I wouldn't like it if it went in that direction. So many procedural shows like these always involve the detective's family members that it's become really cliche. Ditto if Ellie's son is involved somehow (what with the whole don't be your father's son business).
