John Potts July 18, 2017 Share July 18, 2017 This does seem very familiar, because I was about to post exactly the same thing again (but didn't). Still say the Scrubs musical episode is better than the Buffy one - the songs are just more memorable (#Everything Comes down to Poo!#) 1 Link to comment

tpickles7437 July 19, 2017 Share July 19, 2017 Yes!! I've always said "Decoy" is the episode I would pitch for the Canon, if I'd ever get brave enough to actually do it. Excited to hear the verdict!! 2 Link to comment

FormerMod-a1 July 19, 2017 Share July 19, 2017 Dave, I disagree with you about Cercei. She gets stuff done but loses everything important to her in the process and makes so many enemies in the process, too. Loved the game time! Link to comment
FictionIsntReal July 19, 2017 Share July 19, 2017 Cersei really is a terrible ruler. Not only did she blow up a big piece of her capital in order to avoid facing trial, she alienated the Tyrells, leaders of the most fertile region of Westeros. As Jaime pointed out, her subjects are going to have a tough time managing low supplies of food during the winter. 1 Link to comment
John Potts July 19, 2017 Share July 19, 2017 I can't believe it will be anyone other than Jon Snow who ultimately wins the Game of Thrones: he's the lost heir who's come back from the dead. I suspect he'll marry his aunt Danerys (whether he knows the relationship or not) and she'll die in childbirth (like her mother before her). Who do I want to win? Starting to root for the White Walkers (the good characters are too dumb, the smart characters are too evil - and hey, the White Walkers were there probably there first), so #TeamNightsKing! 1 Link to comment

Portia July 19, 2017 Share July 19, 2017 Aren't Dany and Jon just first cousins? If it's legal in 20+ U. S. states, I imagine it's okay in Westeros (also known as Sister Fuck Central). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cousin_marriage_law_in_the_United_States_by_state Link to comment

No - assuming Jon is Rhaegar (and Lyanna's) son, Dany is his aunt, which I'm pretty sure is illegal in most places (Dany was a LOT younger than her brother, as he had heirs of his own at the time of her birth). Not a problem for the Targaryens though, since they practiced brother/sister incest. 1 Link to comment

swimmyfish July 20, 2017 Share July 20, 2017 So much good dancing on tv! My favorite is Hal and Lois on Malcolm in the Middle, in the episode where Lois is taking ballroom dance lessons. It's just so sweet that he sees her as graceful as she sees herself, even though the reality is that they are both terrible dancers. As for tv musical episodes, I always thought the Buffy episode was the start of the trend, and its success lead everyone else to think they needed to do one too? Link to comment
mskyle July 20, 2017 Share July 20, 2017 (edited) I am also a former library employee and I found Sam's shelving scenes maddening! Why are they storing chained books on the same shelf as unchained books? Where are the tables/shelves for reading the chained books, which seem to be on very short chains? Why aren't the special forbidden maester books chained up? And anyways half the point of a chained library is that you don't have to reshelve! Worst chained library since Doctor Strange!* *(In which the chains seemed to be basically little book seatbelts, not actually locked or attached to the books.)

Onfire444 July 23, 2017 Share July 23, 2017 I always feel like such an outcast when I proclaim my dislike of Game of Thrones. Everyone i know seems to love it, even the bookish girls who worship Anne of Green Gables. So it's always comforting to hear that Sarah and Tara don't watch it, I feel validated! I thought Tara's comment about the entire episode feeling like a bunch of meetings was spot on about most of the series. And I gave the show a good chance, watched the first three seasons. My husband still watches, so i catch a bit here and there. To me, it feels like watching The Young and the Restless, a lot of stilted, dull dialogue between two people standing still in a room with very little wit, except sometimes from Tyrion, and very little heart. But, since I am a twitter and podcast addict, I do try to keep up vaguely with what's happening, so I am not completely out of the nationsl conversation. Has anyone read or written a really clever good takedown of the show? Would love to read one. Link to comment

The Crazed Spruce July 26, 2017 Share July 26, 2017 I know you probably don't really care, @David T. Cole, but not only do Murdoch Mysteries and Republic of Doyle exist in basically the same universe, they actually had a quasi-crossover. The ancestor of RoD's lead character (played by the same actor) turned up on Murdoch Mysteries for an episode, and not long after, the descendant of MM's lead showed up on RoD. The episode plots didn't really have anything to do with each other, but the climax of both episodes took place in the same location, and a few of the action beats in those scenes paralleled each other.

John Potts July 26, 2017 Share July 26, 2017 Surely, in the Baywatch-verse, being young & pretty = life worth living, being old & fat = kill yourself. You can't say they're inconsistent about that. But I would have loved it if Mitch had been run down by Goliath (Garthe Knight)! Never watched Murdoch Mysteries (I think I've seen occasionally on UK schedules), but why would anyone think building a faux Nessie would REDUCE tourism? It's the foundation of Invernness' tourist industry! It would be a scurrilous rumour to suggest I only include names like Zeliko Ivanek (with some accents) or Raxicorifallipatorios purely to hear how Dave mangles them. Link to comment

swimmyfish July 27, 2017 Share July 27, 2017 In answer to Dave's question, the inventor of the Frisbee was indeed named Frisbee. Or Frisbie - he was a baker, whose pie plates were then turned into a toy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frisbie_Pie_Company I think I went to college with one of his great-grandchildren? I can't remember why I actually knew that. I feel like Murdoch Mysteries sounds like the kind of show that, if I were in high school, I would love to get high and watch with my friends - it's not good, but its wholesomeness can be fun, in a gently mocking kind of way. Angie Tribeca I really like, but because so many of the jokes are visual, I feel like it's something I have to really pay attention to even though it's so, so stupid. So it's not a great binge show, but it's a very good take a break from everything and laugh for 22 minutes show. #TeamRaisin Link to comment

helent July 27, 2017 Share July 27, 2017 So glad Father Ted made it into the Canon! I submitted the version of the video from the dream to KODTTM but it didn't get used. It's such a delightfully bizarre show at that times, like the fact that they share a dream, and this fact just goes un-commented on? One of my very favourite clips for cheering myself up is Ted trying to explain perspective to Dougal: Sadly, Dermot Morgan, who plays Ted, died very young. They were contemplating a fourth series at the time, after originally planning to end with the third. The show is largely written by Graham Lineham, who also wrote Black Books and The IT Crowd, and therefore is responsible for some of my favourite comedy ever. He also used to write a hilarious column for the film mag Neon, and I just found them all scanned here. They are all pretty wonderful: https://neonmagazinescans.wordpress.com/category/graham-linehan/page/2/ Link to comment

Narla July 27, 2017 Share July 27, 2017 Like most Canadians, I don't watch a lot of Canadian TV -- I've made it through maybe one episode of Murdoch Mysteries -- but I LOVE the plot. It's so Toronto that someone would be freaking out about people using the beaches. Just this week the Toronto Star had an article about residences of The Beache(s) (City calls them one thing, they insist on calling themselves something else) being up in arms about a kayak kiosk being an eyesore. Because Lake Ontario belongs to the home owners. Using Murdoch Mysteries to point out that people who live near the Beaches have always been exclusionary wingnuts is both hilarious and crazy passive aggressive. Link to comment
gonewiththeschwinn July 27, 2017 Share July 27, 2017 I was excited to see Angie Tribeca's Beach Blanket Sting-O get featured - I've been catching up on the series this summer and saw that episode a few weeks ago. I keep saying "I'm not saying I'm gay or a necrophiliac, but if I was, I certainly wouldn't tell you guys" probably much to the chagrin of my husband. Link to comment
