  1. I declare for House White Walker. Everyone else on Planetos is either too evil or too stupid to deserve to live.
  2. Two horns, I believe. Dragonbinder, which can control dragons, and the Horn of Joramun (aka Horn of Winter), which supposedly can bring down the Wall.
  3. I took it as the 3ER making sure that what had happened, happened. In other words, Bran always did Hodorize Hodor and so had to be astrally brought back to do it and complete the time loop.
  4. So if Bran ever ends up going through the gate in the Wall, will the Night's King's mark on him somehow screw up the presumed magic in the Wall that's holding back the Others?
  5. For those of us in the US and not near the border, is there any legit way to watch TAR-Canada?
  6. I don't she ever said she has 8 kids. What she said was "we're a family of eight". I took that to mean her, her husband, and six kids.
  7. So glad to see Korey and douchey Tyler come in last. However, that was about the only good thing about the episode. Soooooooooo boring. The person upthread had it right -- they didn't DO anything. Yawn. Fingers crossed we get something better next season.
  8. I'm not going to complain about what Burnie and Ashley did -- the rules allow it and it made perfect sense to do it, but I will complain about the rules allowing it to happen. What is the point of having a Double U-Turn in the game if teams can so trivially turn it into a single U-Turn?? Makes no sense. The show should either have all U-Turns be single U-Turns or change the rules so that if a team (knowingly or unknowingly) U-Turns a team that has already passed the U-Turn, the U-Turn slot in question is still "alive".
  9. Sure sounded like it was confirmed on-screen as well. Roose said he wished he knew which of his men killed Stannis so he could be rewarded. That implies Stannis's dead body was found (and the Boltons assumed Stannis was killed by a Bolton man during the battle).
  10. True, but there were some very important plot points lifted from City of Death. From the Wikipedia description of the first Dirk Gently book: Four billion years in Earth's past, a group of Salaxalans attempts to populate the Earth; however, a mistake caused by their engineer – who used an Electric Monk to irrationally believe the proposed fix would work – causes their landing craft to explode, killing the Salaxalans and generating the spark of energy needed to start the process of life on Earth. The ghost of the Salaxalan engineer roams the earth waiting to undo his mistake, watching human life develop and waiting to find a soul that it can possess.
  11. Interesting. The PBS station I watched ran them "stripped" -- one each weeknight. Can't remember the exact time. Might have been 5pm might have been 7pm. I'm leaning towards 7pm. For the longest time all they had was "Robot" through "Invasion of Time". Then they eventually got the rest of Four's run. It was so great when something new finally happened! But they didn't get Five right away so after "Logopolis" they'd go right back to "Robot". Eventually they did get all of Five but that was by the time I was leaving to go to college so I didn't see very much of Five. The only Five stories I can remember are "Enlightment", "Mawdryn Undead", and "Caves of Androzani". I only saw "Earthshock" when they showed it as Five's "Doctor Who: Revisited" episode.
  12. Colin was so wonderful in The Five(ish) Doctors Reboot!
  13. It was very weird for me when years later I read the relevant Dirk Gently book and realized that Adams plagiarized himself when writing the book. Actually, it was kind of annoying because I had paid for a book that I knew the ending to from very early on in the book.
  14. Sounds like she said all her underwear are thongs. And she said she felt embarrassed wearing a thong in front of her dad.
  15. Now we know -- Chris Chibnall, creator of Broadchurch.
  16. I thought for sure we were going to find out that Lord Merton was being slow-poisoned by his son and D-I-L. Especially when after escaping from them and moving in with Isobel he ran into her in the hospital and said that while tired he wasn't deteriorating.
  17. I was happy to see Justin and Diana win again (want them to win the whole thing). It's a race, I want to see competent racers, and they are. And they're rather less annoying than many other teams on the race (like Josh and Tanner, Chris and Logan, etc.). However, I'm pretty down on the Race as a whole this year. Lousy casting, but worse than that, it is BORING because too many of the legs (like this one) are way, way too linear. What the heck's up with that?
  18. Damn it. My two least favorite teams are in the back of the pack so I figure no matter what I win. And then a NEL. GRRRRRRR!
  19. All I know is that I want time in that shipping simulator! That was really cool.
  20. She must've moved out there for making the collection because the deli she works (worked?) in is in Medford, which is all of two miles or so from Boston. And I doubt she commuted 90 miles each way from Springfield to Medford to work at the deli.
  21. I actually thought that was rather slimily two-faced of Gunn. When the judges were looking at the dress he was all nodding and agreeing as they slagged Duncan's dress. Man up Timmeh and tell them that you told Duncan you loved it. That's valuable info for the judges to have because it would give them better insight into why Duncan kept it how it was.
  22. I think it was more doable because the task that came before it -- Body Prop -- didn't use biceps (it used triceps) and didn't require the hands to grip anything. So competitors actually in a way got to rest their hands and biceps -- which are precisely what they needed to use to climb the "ladder".
  23. And not just that, but things were so bad you could get to Vegas by merely finishing the 3rd obstacle!
