FACT: People who don't know Berry Gordy's "The Last Dragon" should be excommunicated from the AVClub.

He's too old now, but when I originally read the novels, I always pictured Tim Roth as the perfect Eddie Dean.

Because it doesn't do them any good, long-term, if they know for certain that the much-more-well-armed group is still out there.

In a universe (Mid-World) where so many things are similar, but different, from the familiar, casting Elba as Roland kind of makes a lot of sense. More importantly, I now get to cue up Jeru the Damaja's "Black Cowboys" on the ride home from work.

If the author is good with it, I'm good with it.

I took "Alexandria" literally, haha — it's a D.C. suburb. The point is, there should have been some snow by now, and I feel like the only reason there isn't is because it would probably completely neutralize the zombies as a threat.

Okay, but Rick & the Gang killed a Hilltopper who tried to kill Gregory. Maggie's just doing what Gregory did: using the available leverage. She knows the Hilltoppers are weak and can't possibly withstand a Savior assault. Why not ensure a food supply for Alexandria in exchange for solving a problem she KNOWS the

Ned Stark's Headless Corpse has a question for this show: 'WHEN IS WINTER COMING?'

I find it highly appropriate that Stacey Dash is frequently described in news stories as "the 'Clueless' star"…

I question how definitively ugly a plain, black button-down can be. Now, if it's velvet? That's a whole other situation.

Why thank you, sir.

What is there to defend, other than his choice to button it all the way to the top a la early-'90s-Hispanic-gangster style?

Pro tip: No one wants to buy two dozen of "the thing they removed to make the donut hole." Can't we all just agree that referring to them using a little-people slur is the way to go?

I wouldn't mind seeing her stumble upon Arya's direwolf Nymeria somewhere in the North, sort of a "BJ & the Bear" story in the Riverlands, but instead of hilarious hijinks, they go around gutting and hanging Freys and Boltons.

I'm still hoping they'll bring the ACTUAL Lady Stoneheart back, since it seems as though a lot of S6 will be taking place in the Riverlands.

Given the general bent of the show, it wouldn't surprise me if Roose Bolton hires a Faceless Man to dispose of Sansa, and Arya gets the job as her first contract.

Thank God for Liz Taylor. Otherwise this whole season was basically a dumpster fire wearing a drillbit dildo.

My dark-horse entry: "Mighty High" by the Mighty Clouds of Joy. Plenty great in its original version, and properly extended/jammed out on occasion by the Jerry Garcia Band.

"Rooty toot toots and rummy tums tums [touches child inappropriately]" — Michael Jackson, apparently all the fucking time

Aaaand now I truly want a Dr. Girlfriend version of this song. Possibly a full-on Venture Bros. Christmas album. A "Baby It's Cold Outside" duet between Brock Sampson and Molotov Cocktease, complete with fighting noises between lyrics, would be just the greatest.
