But, if that's Glen's girlfriend why is he leaning on Mrs. Draper (Francis) for shipping out (perchance to die) sex? I really wanted Glen's confession to be instead of flunking out of college that he made up the story about enlisting in one final, desperate play for the attention of the pretty next door neighbor lady.

"This is totally some strange ass decade-spanning three person dynamic, isn't it? Ugh. I just wanted to get stoned today and ride some rinky-dink coasters .. "

He had a plan, and it involved leisure suits, cross-country stalking and hotel sex. No single moms!

"My wife aroused Harry Crane with Ye-Ye .. we role-played our way into make-up sex .. I gave John Lennon his three minutes and wasn't impressed .. one of my sons entertained the idea that he might be of part-African descent … "

This is what it feels like: pleasant after dinner get-together at the Weiner place. We’re telling funny anecdotes about saying tone deaf things in business meetings. Making topical conversation. Once everyone’s settled into a buzz, we’re considering the deeper questions. Where do we, as individuals, go from here? What

Which is part of why it's such a terrible idea. Not that it's to his credit but if you don't understand that from Littlefinger's perspective if anyone's going to rape Sansa it's going to be him then you don't understand Littlefinger at all.

I think that has more to do with them finding it tasteless for her to have the character played by the actor with pancreatic cancer on her "kill list." He's in remission now, but still ..

Same. I know a lot of people don't like Penny, but whenever I think about her all I remember is:

As for terrible adaptation choices, how are they going to top "Littlefinger marries Sansa to Ramsay?" If that's where that's headed. Don't see how it gets worse than that as an idea, so if they can manage a sensible and entertaining arc with that choice at the beginning post-S5 could look more promising.

"I don't give any thought to building or maintaining popular support. I base every decision on which of my bearded advisors made the most recent compelling argument."

Yeah, a lot of fans are quick to scold others for lacking "Westerosi savvy." The idea is unless you're amoral and act like Littlefinger you're a loser and deserve to die. "If you think this has a happy ending, you haven't been .. " blah blah blah. Sometimes this (forest for the trees) results in missing obvious

The way I expect it to work is either 1. Varys drops Tyrion off in Volantis and arranges passage for him to Meereen then disappears. Jorah kidnaps Tyrion after Varys leaves and before he (Tyrion) can depart. Or 2. Jorah kidnaps Tyrion on the way. We don't know what happens to Varys until E10 when he pops up in KL

I'll fall back on "At least what happened in the books almost always made a certain bit of sense." I don't know if that's smarm, though. Closed-mindedness?

He opposed that too, didn't he? I could see the line of "Barristan warned me not to do that and I did and look what happened." Still, due process in this context is important for what and to whom? Is she fine with failing while acting in each case according to what she feels is right and wrong (even if it means

So, Dany is O.K. with grabbing Masters at random to crucify (if what Show Hizdahr said about his father is true) so she can make a point to the old regime, but executing a Son of the Harpy without a trial is punishable by death? That looked more like it was it about showing her people who's boss than it was "justice."

Rose to Cobain: "You shut your bitch up, or I'm taking you down to the pavement!" Cobain to Love: "Shut up, bitch."

Team Whaley, for sure. Any ambiguity in my wording was unintentional. It was a genuine "thanks," not a sarcastic one.

"Hey, I'm sorry, buddy. I thought I was shooting at that son of a bitch Corrigan."

Could see that. 90s indie NY character actors, similar roles. Both 5'9", black hair, both half-Irish on their father's side. Whaley's mother is Sicilian. Corrigan's mother is Puerto Rican. This is all from IMDb (your source for an actor's height) and Wikipedia, not from memory. This is also from Wikipedia: Corrigan's

My abiding pull quote for Paul Walker (1973-2013) is, talking about Jessica Alba circa Into the Blue, him saying "I couldn't take my eyes off that ass." So, thanks for answering that question like a 51-year-old married guy with kids and not giving me anything to remember about your response, Whaley.
