"Holy shit, Kristian Nairn? It's so awesome to meet you! Do you come to the States often?"

Shaggydog's death = somehow Scooby-Doo related

It's true! We're so lame!

I was preparing myself for him to be actually dead after all that buildup, in which case I would've never stopped laughing.

Varys is scared of magic, this has already been established. You'd be scared of magic too if your earliest childhood memory involved a wizard, chanting, and your dick getting sliced at.

Between the entire play reenacting season 1, the boobs, the unexpected extreme close-up of dick (a comment on people asking for equal nudity?), and Brienne's comment that Jon's "a bit brooding", this was the most meta, blatantly audience-acknowledging episode this show will ever produce.

Pretty sure it's the second one. Humans who can warg were never meant to go into other humans' minds and take them over, because, y'know, that drives humans crazy.

I mean, we don't know what procedures, if any, LJG has opted for besides HRT (aka hormone therapy).

Где библиотека? Я хотел бы гамбургер, пожалуйста.

George is actually procrastinating so hard on the sixth book that he's gone back to rewriting the fifth book. A Dance With Dragons: Enhanced Edition will be out this fall.

Also great at dialogue, what with the screenwriting background. It's the scene descriptions outside of dialogue that are often painful.

"unflinching, authorized" is my new favorite contradiction

Mean and untrue. Many of us AV Club commenters are former humans transformed into fungi.

Are we talking Dogtooth level dark and weird? Because I was totally on board with the premise and the cast, but quickly reassessed how cute this was gonna be after realizing who the director was.

I'm sure G knows that she's a much better choice to have that conversation than you are, and is so conflict-avoidant that she just doesn't care.

My aunt had two miscarriages and a stillbirth, followed by three healthy pregnancies. I don't know how on Earth she had the heart to keep trying after that, but her kids are great and I'm glad she did. Just because your sister-in-law has had shitty luck so far doesn't mean she always will.

And that sequence was fantastic. Why can't they get creative with narrative conventions more often? They have so many characters and scenes to get through.

You learn just enough of his backstory in the original Halloween to make him even creepier than he otherwise would be. But I think the amount of time spent on him as a little kid in all the later movies, explaining every thought process he's ever had, ultimately made him less scary.

Hey, I wish my newsfeed spam was dog pictures. Mine's mostly smug political articles, Buzzfeed videos, and shares of some mildly shitty parenting/dating/Game of Thrones memes.

Yes, and when you're getting 1/10 the upvotes Mohd is, you should take it as a hint you're being a bit of a dick. People trapped in repressive, authoritarian countries aren't required to apologize for being from that country every time they say anything about any other country. Even if they are Mohd.
