Shireen's ashes would be very hard to resurrect, I'd imagine.

My prediction for Arya is her season will end with her reuniting with the Hound and revenge on the Freys being set up for next season. I think she'll need Nymeria's help for that.

I would not consider the Seven Kingdoms a unified entity right now…

I saw the High Sparrow be called Big Bird in a forum once and have tried to make it a thing, but it hasn't caught on.

It seems extremely likely to me that Big Bird is killed. His purpose to the plot of causing problems for the Lannisters and Tyrells has been served. I don't think the show will want to make Dany have to deal with him in the final season. Varys might kill him in place of *Pycelle. His actions have been helpful to Varys…

Umm, is that "Outstanding Achievement in Programming" category with Nature Cat and Odd House suppose to say "Children's" programming? Because just calling the kiddie shows "Programming" seems weird to me. A little sinister too now that I think about it, as it sounds as if it's an award for what show did the best job…

The Meereenese Nut

It sucked, but I'm sympathetic to not having that many funny/interesting stories about yourself that you'd be willing to share on national television.

I thought you were calling the AV Club a very bad humor site at first.

My parents divorced when I was 5 and I haven't seen my father since…Today I was listening to a Podcast today that got onto the subject "Dad Jokes" (puns, if you're not in the know) and why fathers get into that kind of humor. I was surprised to hear Dad Jokes being talked about like they were obviously a real thing.…

Your comment read more like you were scolding people who didn't like sports than just suggesting they try it.

I love basketball, but people can not give a shit about whatever they want as long as they're not obnoxious about not giving a shit about it, which this article wasn't.

I seen some people complaining about Sansa not telling Jon about the Knights of the Vale in advanced, but I'm holding judgement on that writing choice until next week. The preview made it look like they'll a dress based on Jon talking to Sansa about trust. They may or may not explain her choice in a satisfying way.

I assumed Ramsay missed on purpose to maximize the fun for him by letting Rickon get so close and hopefully before his real shot.

I half-listened to the Linoleum Knife film podcast today where they discussed this movie, but from what I heard I actually thought it was a fictional movie about a documentary filmmaker because a lot of the details just sounded too wacky to be real I guess

I think comparing teams from different eras is too difficult to really know definitively who the best ever was. The playoffs are tougher physically now, but team medical staffs are also way better now with the advancement in Sports Health over the last 20 years. All we can know is how far above a team was from their…

It was such a weird mix of pop-culture emotions switching between this episode and the NBA Finals once HBO Now started working. (I was rooting for LeBron so he could complete his hero's journey and my 95-96 Bulls could remain the proper claimants to the moniker of greatest team ever). Anyways, one of the best episodes…

When I saw him trending on Twitter didn't even cross my mind he had died. I thought he'd landed a big role, or maybe since Chekov was trending too that it been spoiled that the character would be killed off in the new movie.

I don't know Soccer so I feel out of my depth correcting you but wasn't it Chile, not Peru, who played Mexico today? This is what Google is telling me now and what my Grandfather told me earlier today- we're Mexican but he said he put money on Chile because it was easy money to make against his coworkers and it would…
