Why "Game of Thrones" only deserves one Emmy this year

So. Game of Thrones is up for Outstanding Drama, Best Supporting Actor (Peter Dinklage) and Best Supporting Actress (Emilia Clarke). It is absolutely the best thing on television by virtue of being the only thing, my friend's attempts to get me to watch Breaking Bad (meaning Breaking Bad now, not Breaking Bad starting at the beginning) notwithstanding, that I'm watching.

But, um... Tyrion didn't do anything this year. You would think that Jaime's "Kingslayer" scene would get him the nomination... though of course I'd say that, since Jaime's my favorite character in the books. But Tyrion? Aside from "set up some Podrick dick jokes," name one thing he did this season! (Granted, this season and next season are the Seasons In Which I am Down On Tyrion, because those two seasons are the adaptations of A Storm of Swords, also known as That Book In Which Tyrion Straight-Up Murders My Other Favorite Character (and I ain't talkin' about the one he strangles).

And as I've discussed at length, the Red Wedding kinda sorta sucked.

On the other hand... Dracarys, baby. Dracarys all the way.

Post-Craig Review: Dr. No

 Back to the very beginning. This is a lie. "The beginning" would surely be a review of Ian Fleming's 1953 novel Casino Royale...
