That scene where Rhaenyra (selfishly) asks her father to help her out is clearly an allegory about fans wanting GRRM to finish the books before he dies.

I might be out of touch, so this is coming as bit of a surprise to me, but is the Harmon-less fourth season really not considered the worst season? That’s like X-men level shenanigans, where fans yell bloody murder when someone else takes over the movie/show, but then we see subsequent worse installments, including…

She is his (half) aunt. Whatever rule prevented Daemon from marrying Rhaenyra might also prevent them.

Also, why is his upper-lip so sweaty in that picture? Isn’t that how Nixon lost the election to JFK?

Or the spot left by Elvis Presley or Liberace or Lady Gaga or every other pop star. Being eccentric is pretty much a requirement for being a celebrity these days.

No, but this is a special situation where they get reimbursed for canceling projects. There is some kind of loophole due to the merger.

You mean Achmed Goes Hawaiian. He is still a barista.

I think they are just borrowing the name because it can be interpreted as a meta reference to it coming back from cancellation and being under a different direction. And Matt Murdock was presumed dead in the last season anyway. They never explained how he would become a practicing lawyer again. And he could’ve also…

Season 3 was more focused and tighter than pretty much every Disney+ Marvel show. Even the Karen episode, which people like to bring up, was more of a stylistic choice, had some purpose to it, and progressed the story.

I can’t believe I have to say this: love isn’t rational or smart.

Just looked up “incel” and it literally sounds like a gender-swapped version of a stereotypical Jezebel member.

Something is wrong with Kinja. I keep clicking on “AV Club”, but it keeps sending me to “Jezebel”.

The Godfather made $135 million at the box office, which is nearly a billion dollars in today’s money on a $7.2 million budget ($50 miilion in today’s money). His examples are wrong and his point is exaggerated, but the basic point stands that there was a time where the difference between an Oscar winner/critical…

Marvel is, but Disney isn’t.

Plenty of people wouldn’t be born if their same-race parents didn’t get together. Are you saying I shouldn’t have been born? What have I done to you? You see what you did there? You’re being needlessly manipulative. HBO’s Barry literally did the same thing last week where Barry, a mass murderer, is let go by someone…

Ohhh

There is this Spotify podcast called “Prestige TV” that has managed to get Bill Hader to come on it every week to discuss the latest episode of Barry, and in that, he says he’s undecided on how many seasons Barry will have.

Are you being sarcastic or you really don’t know who that guy was? Because I would love to be the one to blow your mind.

That would effectively ruin the show for me. Might as well have Gene Cousinou jump a shark after that.

I don’t want you to believe me. But I also don’t want you to not believe me. Either conclusion you jump to is purely guessing, because you’re not actually close to this situation. Not being able to handle uncertainty and say “I don’t know what I don’t know” is said to be a trait of neuroticism, but I think it’s way…
