...and doesn’t try to pee holding his “sword” with it. Ouch.

I tried.

Troll much?

I lost property in Sandy. My town was flooded terribly. Businesses (including tech and factories) closed and never reopened or moved away. Real people lost real jobs and real homes. The local economy is only now recovering.

I wonder how much money this guy’s daddy has?

Yeah, well, you’re not drowning are you? You’re able to post here with your functioning technology.

Um, I doubt that the currents are terrible. That water is just dumped from the sky in to low-lying areas at this point. When the rivers crest later this week, that changes.

When you realize that this is the fourth-largest city in the U.S. and dead center of the petroleum industry, this is an unbelievable catastrophe.

This will always be too soon, dummy.

Good point. I wondered why Eastwatch had so many stairs leading to the top instead of a single elevator. The former is a great way to explain how he survives and (possibly) gets to Castle Black unharmed.

...he was created by the Children of the Forest through torture, but why now?

To be fair, the first (?) Three-eyed Raven did lead Bran there, but wanted to limit his vision - and Bran had no real reason to look into Jon’s legitimacy. It was shocking enough to learn that he was actually a Targaryen. If I was Bran, that would probably stopped me cold too.

Brilliant! Does the AV Club have a COTD?

Well, it’s not like he’s chairman of some kind of board. His is not a democracy. He’s the goddamned king, right? Or not? I mean, kings are kings by birth, not by vote - at least in the succession. Sure, if everyone in the line dies, it’s an election, but there are four in the line still alive.

This is an earthquake zone, right? what happens if the section of tunnel you’re in gets bookended by fault lines and you’re trapped?

I had a similar reaction the year that Davey Allison and Alan Kulwicki from NASCAR died. Racing just hasn’t been the same for me since. I suppose that I would race, but watching others and putting my heart into that is over.

Seeing as how the the Fitz and McCain have stealth characteristics, you can’t put a lot of blame on the merchant radar officers. With those characteristics, the Navy vessels would appear to be either smaller or further away than they actually were. This is an important fact to keep in mind when evaluating these…

Dissenting opinion:

I’m “girthy” too. Always have been. I’ve had 5 bikes (including the first Ninja and a Honda VFR). If I gave a shit about how I looked on one, I would have missed out on a whole lot of fun.

You are all so cute!
