I actually really liked the episodes. I think Game of Thrones is at its worst when it dials up the bombast and lowers down the characters. With a few exceptions like the Battle of the Blackwater or The Battle of Winterfell, the action just doesn’t interest me as much as the character interactions and I loved the…

I think the only reason why people expect Jon riding a dragon be a huge deal is because based on the books they have this expectation about only Targaryens being able to ride dragons. But that’s something that was never mentioned on the show, and we’ve seen the dragons carry people, so in the show’s context it’s not a…
Also, the reason people can’t imagine their 12 year old plotting a vicious murder with a co-conspirator is because most 12 year olds (virtually all, really) don’t fucking do that.
yeah but look at him! I would have yelled at him to get off my lawn at age 21. being young wouldn’t have helped me get him at all.
“She is only their third woman prime minister.”
I’d put Crazy Ex-Girlfriend way higher- this is really the year I fell for this show HARD. It is just consistently great television- unpredictable, smart in its handling of emotional and mental issues, and savagely funny.
How in the world is it possible for something to be better than Twin Peaks? They got damn good coffee, and damn good pie, too! Mighty fine.
Twin Peaks is my favorite show of all time. Even with a second season that has a dreadful, infamous mid section, but The Return was something amazing. It was unlike the show, it was unlike the movie, it was it’s own thing, and that’s what I love about it the most. Where most revivals run through the Greatest Hits,…
Vice Principals deserves a spot!
Completely agree! Tale as old as time/kids rebelling. I just find it weird that it seems to be “in” to complain about how hard your kids are and how your license is now ruined. You can still travel, eat at nice restaurants, and said watch adult television. Your life is not “over.” (and if someone feels that way/why…
Ok. I’ve been a parent for a decade (single for the past few years) and have one very special needs kiddo. Of course it will be difficult at times. There will be times you lock yourself in the bathroom and cry or take a hit or scream into a towel because you need to. But this “woe is me. I don’t know how to control my…
Not sure if we have many Australians here - but some good news from Down Under. The country has just held a nationwide postal survey on a proposal to allow same sex couples to marry.
Shit, that bar is set reeeeeeeeaal low.
I don’t know if they’re miserable assholes but I definitely feel like I have nothing in common with them, like people who stay in Hard Rock Cafe hotels or all inclusive resorts or who drink shots... I mean, everyone I know who enjoys cruises, well let’s just say they’re not my tribe. I like some of them, but we’re…
What I’m saying is: The only good cruise is a cruise with literally no other passengers on it, adult or child. Please let me know when that’s in the works.
The mother that is kid obsessed is also sick. Just because it is a kid and she is a woman doesn’t make it healthy. Just because she always wanted to have a kid, doesn’t make it healthy. I’m disappointed that the advice columnist skated over the sickness.
re: the first one - I have friends like this (though not as extreme) and part of their behavior is self-centered, but part of it comes from a place of assuming that babies/kids make everyone happy, and she is doing me a favor by inundating me with pictures of her kids/baby bump/sonograms. I don’t have the heart to…
I know it would hurt the ecosystem and all, but can we get rid of mosquitos at least?
