I've wanted to like Hawk and Ashley from the beginning but been unable to fully convince myself I do. Because no obligatory "let's give the kid a story, too" plot in an adult drama has ever been good. (Sally on Mad Men is the noted exception, but that was built so slowly after several seasons of her being a minor…

Are you looking for classic/pop artists, or more alternative music? If you want to go beyond what non-Spanish-speakers typically seem to listen to, El Guincho, Sidestepper, and Ana Tijoux are three random favorites. All of pretty different genres, so they'll lead you to different stuff.

I read the Reddit stories Penpal was adapted into. Did he fix the chronology when he turned it into a book? Because the worst thing about those stories was the author had clearly not been around a human child in years. His 4-year-old narrator had the thought processes of a 10-year-old at least.

I've been meaning to start Osman's Dream; what are people hating about it in the later chapters?

Have your bassist and singer play Free Bird while your guitarist and drummer simultaneously play Stairway to Heaven. Call it a "new mashup we've been playing around with".

The key to surviving awkwardness in childhood is to be just socially unskilled enough to not notice when other kids are subtly teasing or excluding you (this obviously doesn't work for overt bullying).

Dry Cold Soviet Winter: Last Day in Labor Camp*

There was one moment in First Day of Camp, around the end of the Electric City musical, where I thought "Woah, Paul Rudd actually looks his age, he looks rough".

♪ Taking it higher and higher ♪

That's the most achievable (inevitable?) campaign motto anyone's ever come up with. Thanks, climate change deniers!

Dana? Or did that die out after the 80s/90s?

Where is "over here"? In the US I wouldn't call Ian an odd name at all for anyone under 50. The Iain spelling I had never seen in my life until I heard of Iain Glen, however.

Interested people will find your comment quicker if you use all-caps to direct their attention and make your content pop.

No, but the film is half the length of the TV show and there are dozens of references to the film in every episode. So I'm not sure why people would invest 4 hours in the TV show but draw the line at a 2-hour movie it's based on.

Most languages have an unaspirated /t/ (English t is weird and articulated in a bunch of different ways in different contexts, though we perceive it as the same sound), so Aviato just sounds generically foreign. Hence all the different answers about what accent it's supposed to be.

Wahld-lengs*

"It is known."

Jared and Richard embarking on the great TV romance of our time is the one thing I want from this show that I am 90% sure will not happen.

If you read the last page of the fifth book backwards, it says George is dead and HBO replaced him with a mall Santa.

It was so startling to hear Ellaria bring up "the people" as if we've ever seen Dornish people or cities. I was like "Oh right, you folks probably aren't ruling over just a garden filled with homicidal cosplay girls."
