Does any of this justify seven episodes instead of ten though?

I don't think they're creating false equivalencies, or even trying to create any equivalency at all.

I really hope this doesn't turn into an idiotball plot.

Jon is the only sibling that embraced Arya's noncomformity, while Sansa looked down on her for it. Arya not fitting in as a woman and Jon not fitting in as a bastard formed a core part of their relationship. While I felt like the conflict was contrived, it's 100% logical for Arya to trust Jon over Sansa and dislike…

"We need to show Cersei a white walker so we can have her contribute resources for the war. Go to Eastwatch and capture one."

Jon Snow has been fairly big on using prisons so far, and on clemency in-general, certain instances of treason excepted. Plus, he pretty much indicated in this episode that he was uncomfortable with her actions.

I was not really a fan of the whole "Arya and Sansa are having a conflict now" and "Arya is spying on Littlefinger (using her own face?) and he just knows about it."

The bottom line is that berating potential progressive voters can alienate those voters, which helps the bigot party, and is therefore an unhelpful thing to do.

I don't have a problem with this part. The whole "you deserve to get your teeth knocked in" bit is pretty bad though.

Alienating potential voters is a terrible idea that helps the bigots you want to defeat.

Berating people who may not already agree with you is a great way to help them become people who don't agree with you. You've definitely convinced everyone who already agrees with you though.

The article provides you with ATCR asking people to not do what you asked for an example of First Nations asking people to not do. Their complaints are on a continuum with this subject and fully contradict your dismissal of the subject matter. The only way in which the article does not answer you is if you create…

Well yes, it's a label given to describe a current pop music trend.

Ask and you shall receive.

Pink didn't start the meaningful pop trend. She may have created meaningful pop, but she did so unrelated to the current trend and in a very different style than what is being made as part of the current trend.

While not a fan of all of her work, I've tried and failed a few times to convince my friends that she was putting out some good stuff and was legitimately talented regardless of the type of music she was producing.

I remember flipping channels back in the day, and seeing Kesha doing an interview on MuchMusic. One of the VJs jokingly mentioned that her glitter was getting everywhere, and she took them seriously, apologized, and asked if it was okay. That was the moment when I realized she definitely wasn't the person that her…

I forgot how wonderful old AV Club truly was…

I've never seen an episode of Twin Peaks but the general commentary about this season that I've heard from longtime fans has been very enthusiastic.
