Show Euron is a ridiculous, pale-by-comparison imitation of Book Euron. Book Euron is made to seem like the devil incarnate. I didn't think it was possible for Show Euron to look dumber than he did wearing that stupid driftwood crown. Boy, was I wrong: "Hey guys, y'know what this show's missing? Medieval bros. We need

I think this is an interesting idea, but 1) who would ever believe it, given what the commoners in King's Landing already think about the Lannisters, and 2) since when did "burden of proof" ever stop anyone from killing someone on this show??

I actually think food is one of the few things that overcomes American xenophobia. Hasan Minhaj from "The Daily Show" had a great line in his special about working in the same neighborhood as the Fox News anchors and watching them spend all day on TV railing about Islam and terrorists… and then standing in line at the

I originally read this story three weeks before heading to Chicago and holy sh*t, were you guys right. The Slurping Turtle is 100% legit, delicious and the karaage is tremendous, along with everything else I ordered.

My garden is doing so-so this year. My San Marzano tomatoes are starting to get a couple flowers, but overall they're behind schedule in terms of height and stalk thickness. Same with the peppers that I have planted in the ground — the potted ones are doing better.

Like most of the arm up to the elbow…?

That would make sense. I do like the notion, however, that it's totally possible to bring down a dragon as long as you can keep from being roasted alive. I don't think I'd be as interested in the remainder of the GoT story if all of the dragons were Smaug-style, one-scale-missing-but-basically-unkillable murder

100% agree. I fully admit that I am not nearly as immersed in hip-hop today as I was in my late teens and 20s, but it's rare that I hear a rapper today saying much that interests me. Thank God for Run the Jewels.

Judging by the trailer, I'd say no. =)

Are you f***ing serious, burger scientist? There are two steps to this: buy good meat, and learn how to grill properly. Good Gawd.

While recognizing that a good bit of hip-hop is over-the-top braggadocio (particularly gangsta rap), for a white kid who grew up in rural Pennsylvania, the Golden Age of '90s Hip-Hop really did give me a window into a world I had no clue about for a very long time.

I have a feeling Cersei is probably going to withhold that federal coin in the next Westerosi fiscal year, even if they get the ramps installed in time. Besides, Winterfell is a sanctuary city now that they let Sansa back. =)

The Targaryens who attacked Harrenhal were apparently smart enough to keep their dragons nice and high in the air. Drogon was in a decent bit of trouble when he landed in the middle of the pit to rescue Dany. He was barbecuing dudes left and right, but he was definitely taking a lot of spears and not handling them

Beric slid his hand along his sword to "light" it when he fought The Hound.

BERIC! #TeamDondarrion

Those first two Mobb Deep records are stone-cold classics. The production and the lyrics capture a very specific sound and a very specific time and place in hip-hop music. I could listen to them every day.

I guess what I mean by "soul" is that you can hear the emotion in the way the guitar is being played. Players like Jerry Garcia, Buddy Guy, Steve Kimock, you can almost hear the emotion in their guitar tone. When Buddy Guy plays a solo in a song about missing his woman, he's able to make me believe his guitar is

SRV is very adherent to the ingrained structure and solo showmanship of blues music, no doubt. But I'd put him a level above the "we play da blues" guys like Joe Bonamassa and SRV's brother Jimmie. I'm a much bigger fan of bands that use solos as an entry point into band-wide jamming, but there are definitely times

I am a huge fan as well. He does, however, occasionally toe a fine line between inspired soloing and the cram-all-the-notes-in stylings of shredders like Satriani and Vai.
