I’ll disagree on one important point.

Why do you show up to read her reviews if you clearly do not like them? News flash: there are hours and hours of podcasts, sites upon sites that review this show, maybe you are just showing up here to be rude to this specific writer every week instead of finding a forum that is more to your taste. Just saying.

The best part of this version of events is that it’s at once more complex and more nuanced than the book, and does more to develop the characters. Since the book is a history, unlike the novels, it’s written in a way that totally lacks character development in favor of a simple progression of events (and an unreliable…

Presumably that’s why they had her dressed all in whit for this episode? I don’t remember for sure, but I do think she’s been clad in white for the whole series so far?

Oh good, is this the errors thread? Better this week, but it wasn’t an actor playing Daemon that pulled out the rope cock, it was an actor playing baby Aegon.

Came down here to say exactly this. We’d already seen the weapon (looks to me like a hatchet-cum-hammer) wielded several times by the Crabfeeder, & never by Daemon, who has a named sword (Dark Sister) we’ve seen him use repeatedly. Also, the line “Add it to the throne” makes it obvious that it’s not Daemon’s. The…

This show is just OK. This feels on par with the better episodes of the final seasons of GoT. I’m hoping things improve with the time jump. 

I believe in the inside the episode they said that after she started taking a more active role, and inverted the power dynamic a bit, he couldn’t get it up and that’s why he left.

Well that was some of the worst Game of Thrones fanfic I had ever witnessed.

No, they didn’t. I read the scene as Daemon not being able to become aroused, 1.) because on some level he knew what he was doing was wrong and 2.) because Rhaenyra began to both enjoy and take control of the encounter, which, as we saw in episode 1 (?) with the woman in the brothel, leaves him impotent. Daemon,…

Dano & Williams are going to really put Sarah Silverman’s “Jew-face” theory to the test in this, and it doesn’t look good.

Also, doesn’t a magic Black woman tell him at one point, “Don’t do this specific shit.” And he does that specific shit, repeatedly.

Darry (Justin Long) and his sister Trish drive past an old church and spot the Creeper throwing a body wrapped in a bloody sheet down a large pipe. The Creeper looks up and sees them passing in their car, and he quickly takes off after them in his truck and soon runs them off the road and continues driving. As they…

Stars in a Victor Salva movie.

This is probably true of anybody who was famous around 1970, but not white.

Aretha: “I’m being stalked! Government agents are tracking me and harassing me!”

Public: “That’s crazy, stop being paranoid.”

FBI, 50 years later: “Ahem, well...”

Imprisoned and tortured it for three days in his home as he and his girlfriend burned the couch with the hot end of a crack pipe.

You don’t seem to know what either “enabled” or “fratboy” mean

It’s always interesting the lengths people will go to in order to disguise their racism but only wind up revealing it.

Well said. There’s a thing in the literature world called “autofiction”, which are essentially autobiographies with a thin veneer of fiction laid over them to avoid any outright calls of narcissism...as well as present themselve- sorry, the totally fictional protagonist of their totally fictional novel in the best…
