"You think you can give up on the gravy and still make a decent kidney pie? What a bunch of malarkey!"

So . . . it's a nice place to visit, is what you're saying?

Opinion is divided. One camp thinks it's absolutely genius. The other camp hates it with a passion. I'm in the "genius" camp, myself; I honestly think it's one of the very few times King stuck the landing on his book. But I can see why people might hate it.

He also played aged-up Alexander in Season 7 of TNG, which he actually did quite well at as well. The role was a bit undercooked in the writing, but Sloyan really sold it. Even on revisit recently, he did a pretty decent job selling the pathos of Alexander not being able to prevent his father's murder, and Worf, for…

And if that doesn't prove how corrupt the Mirror universe was, in Mirror-Game of Thrones, Tyrion's signature character trait was his adeptness at the art of mime.

Between Katsulas, Seymour and the guy who played Fleet Admiral Jarok in "The Defector", the TNG Romulans were essentially built on a string of one-episode wonders. There's never an impression of any one Big Bad in the same sense that you get from the Dominion, but collectively you always get the impression that the…

I am reminded, once again, of John Stewart's blistering summation of Megyn Kelly's defense of maternity leave:

Not really. I can remember the one where Egan was gradually being transformed into a werechicken. And the Boogeyman episodes. Dear God, the Boogeyman episodes were absolute Nightmare Fuel:

That being said, I'm glad they revamped it over the course of the first season. I had a Tina-Fey-wins-the-Mark-Twain-award-for-humor moment when I tried to show some of my friends the pilot, and Winston's signature trait was that he wanted to get back to the station to eat watermelon. That put the kibosh on our plans…

I think it's also important to look at what else he could really do. If he had kept his silence and then told Robert about it when he got back from hunting, Robert would have flat-out murdered Cersei and the children, which would have started a civil war. If he had kept his silence completely, he would have let a…

It's like Oedipus Rex, except we have a zombie explicitly for eye-gouging.

In fairness to Baelish, threatening to openly murder the king's Master of Coin just to win a pointless argument is not something that is really in the realm of the foreseeable. And once Littlefinger realized that Cersei was so pointlessly self-destructive, he quickly exploited that for the weakness it is.

The best.

I'm assuming that as she is leveling in psychopath that she's gotten the traditional psychopath's ability to do intricate art projects with her murder victims without anyone seeing, so long as it's done off-screen. I think they get access to a magical pocket dimension that comes complete with whatever they need. It's…

He rode out ahead of his men straight into the exact same trap he had planned on springing on his opponent. And he drug his men into it after him. I'll admit that outside of Gaugemala, I am only passingly familiar with Alexander's campaigns, but I'm quite certain Alexander never did that.

Well, I do think they could have done a bit better job justifying Jon as a leader of men. If he'd have run back towards his own men, trying to wave them off while they refused to let their commander stand alone, and then helped his T-Rex, er, I mean Wun-Wun cut a hole in the line to help at least a few of his men…

Probably the same TARDIS of the Vale that got Littlefinger around before Arya hijacked it.

I'm not usually very witty, but I did surprise myself this time. My exact words when I saw that scene:

Septa Unella gets FrankenGregor'ed. There's just too much buildup in that character not to have some payoff.

So long as you're hating Stark fanon names, you do realize that any prequel version of Robert's Rebellion will make millions of people Rhae-anna fans, don't you?
