Couldn’t stop reading it, and would have read 10 more pages! You are a fantastic writer, Madeleine, and I shall be eagerly awaiting your next piece! Bra-fucking-vo!

You were never in or around the military, eh?

Night time is *exactly* like the day, except that’s when you die.

Ye flipping gods do I hear ya. Total apathy prior to birth, and now I get choked up when I see any kind of child harmed. That little refugee boy found on the beach a month ago? Damn near killed me. Jesus christ my boy sleeps in the same position that little boy was found in. Fuck.

I want to know who built those fantastic fences everywhere. I dont know who could build a fence like that, much less 10s of miles of it, in what..9 days? Don’t the writers know how long it takes to solicit a Gov’t contract? Totally unrealistic and really ruins the show for me. I require my apocalypse shows to enforce…

Mika- I feel like you could knock out an absolutely fantastic post on the Scotch Cap tsunami, and add your usual highly interesting tidbits to an already horrifying and fascinating story...

Thank you Myrna. I am but a humble greyskin, but maybe your long lived, respected, and colorful persona will ring some bells with the io9 PTBs.

I was just telling my wife that- these reviews are some of the most terrible and off base reviews I’ve ever read here. She read this review (well, half of it) and just muttered “this guy’s an idiot..”

Yes. Thank you. Agreed. Can someone please ping the io9 PTBs and get them to make a subtle, yet quick, course correction? “Something, something, Germain has chosen to spend more time with his family, something something...”

Thank you. I’ve been struggling to find a metaphor for how terrible Germain’s reviews are, and I think you nailed it. “...like reading a food critic’s review of Chinese restaurants when he doesn’t like Chinese...”

He seriously didn’t get that, just as he seriously doesn’t get this show. It’s a travesty that he is still the one reviewing it.

Me too. I get the same feeling watching reality TV that I do when I walk into a church...like- Really, mankind? Really?

If we are choosing Next Songs i request Le Boudin - ‘the Blood Sausage’ - the song of the French Foreign Legion. Tied very closely to the Hand of Captain Danjou - now there is a story worth one of your fine articles.

What movie are you talking about?

Eerily prescient..

grrrrIIIII WILLowwl NOT take her until we are PROPERLY! WED!

Am I the only one who was a little heartbroken for the birthday kid who had the extreme bad luck of having his birthday party the day of the apocalypse?

You are not in the minority- I think this reviewer is actually posting mildly trollish reviews to get more clicks or comments.

YES! I came here to say *exactly* the same thing- this reviewer is terrible and clearly should be downgraded to the My Little Pony reviews, where everything will be sugary sweet and laid out perfectly for him. Talk about someone who just. does. not. get. this. show.

False. George RR Martin died 2 years ago and has been replaced by HBO with a smiling/waving automaton whose only purpose is to give fans false hope that the book series will be finished. This allows HBO the pretense that ‘George is still creatively guiding the series from a 10,000 foot level’ until they’ve milked it…
