As to your second point, I thought the same thing. I remember reading about a survey in TV Guide many years ago that basically found people said they wanted more hard news, information and cultural programming, which obviously is contradicted by what people actually watch. I would imagine at least some of the…

That's what I thought, so I bought one. It didn't work. Only caught a few channels, none of which were ABC, CBS or NBC.

OK, so I'm an idiot, technology-wise, so I hope you don't mind my asking: What sort of antenna? I'm also a cord-cutter, and I tried one of those digital indoor antennas which I hooked up to a smart TV. Didn't work worth a damn. Got like three PBS stations, a bit of the local NBC affiliate (which flickered in and out)…

I've always thought it was massively overrated. Never got what was supposed to be so great about it.

yeah, Ramsey is a shitty character, I agree with that. But, I do hope he ends up dead.

Huh? How is incest an excuse for sadism? Tommen seems like a pretty nice guy to me, and presumably he was raised more or less the same as Joffrey.
Also, I agree that Ramsey is dull and mostly one-dimensional, and the interminable Theon torture scenes were the low points of the series for me. But seeing what Theon…

Nah, you're fine, you're not spoiling anything. But as someone who's been on both sides of the fence, do you agree with some of the other posters that many of the "experts" are overreacting to the scene because it's a character that they like?

Exactly. I don't understand how this changes her character's "arc." The rape-which, by the rules of this world, is not a rape at all-was the inevitable result of choices in prior episodes. Which is not to suggest that Sansa had a ton of options, but last night's scene changes nothing in particular about her storyline.…

I don't understand. What happened to Sansa last night is the inevitable result of the decision to marry Ramsey. It does not change her "arc" in any way; it's the logical continuation of her story. [Not sure what was gained by Theon's involvement, however.]

It would be more "interesting" in the sense that it would be pretty much impossible, based on what we know about her situation and the rules of this world.

Did you expect something different? Did you think that Ramsey would not consummate his marriage? Did you think Sansa would fall in love with him, and therefore happily consent? Or is the scene simply "gratuitous" because the act was shown, in which case, how does that impact character development? Personally, I was…

To the extent that the concept of rape even exists in the world of the show, I don't think this qualifies. It's possible I should watch the scene again to see how it's played (though I won't), but I think the "rape" is pretty much expected on the wedding night. Although the Theon aspect certainly complicates things…

I cut the cord last year, thanks to Sling, which allows me to get all the ESPN channels. It's possible that I will re-attach the damn thing once football season begins, but I will hate to do it, because it fells like surrender.

I thought Whovian was a woman…

"Most NBA stars" are just as capable of speaking coherently as most anyone else in the general population [admittedly a low bar, but still], even when repeatedly faced with the same stupid questions. The fact that you used an inaccurate, hateful stereotype makes you sound pretty racist, which might be why Torgo…

His sitcom character was basically an asshole, and he said in at least one interview (on Letterman, maybe?) that the character was pretty much him. At the time, I thought he meant "exaggerated version of me," but maybe not.

I think Subway is No. 1 in the U.S. in # of locations, with McDonalds's No. 2 and Starbuck's No. 3.

Same here in the South.

More rock=objectively better. Again, it's just science.

My favorite of all time showed a member of Weezer fixing a lawnmower, while the others looked on, fascinated.
