Can't make an omelette without breaking some eggs. Also, you're kinda robbing Rust of his agency here. The potential repercussions were not exactly hard to predict. (Although he might have been too drunk to meaningfully consent; haven't watched it yet.)

I think the general idea is not that you can never tell a story with that kind of focus; the general idea is that stories with this focus are somewhat over-done at this point. So it's a bit disappointing that this is so firmly entrenched in well-trodden ground in that regard. (For a story in a very male-dominated…

Well, let's talk again when there's evidence that his fifteen minutes will last longer than hers.

Hint, I think the title Dance of Dragons might be more fitting for the next book. If we consider it a forshadowing for the potential repetition of certain historical events.

Oh, absolutely, I'm going to feel somewhat cheated without a proper dragons vs zombies show-down to be honest ( In the books,Dany had a very promising vision in that regard, fighting a host armored in ice at the Trident). Stannis may come too; the zombie invasion might require a joint effort. (Although I suspect the…

Unless you actually have them speak Latin, suspension of disbelief is required either way. I agree that "English with Italien accent" would be more jarring because of the inconsistency. I'm already operating on the assumption that English stands in for Latin here, so why would a native speaker speak his mother tongue…

If Belle poisoned the Beast and married the more pliable antrophomorphic tea cup instead. (That said, I probably would be here for that version of the story).

I actually think it's pretty perfect, at least for Dance of Dragons Dany. She's very "conceal don't feel" in that book, trying so hard to keep her powers (=dragons) in check and I bet there's a big "Fire and blood never bothered me anyway" moment for her in the forseeable future.

Throw in Guy Who Plays Thor's brother too, while you're at it.

I guess some people just like a bit of competition to keep the thrill of the chase alive. Granted, I'm prejudiced as well, because my mind immediately jumps to the "Showing-off-my-trophy-wife"-interpretation, but I'm willing to consider that there are other potential motivations.

He mentionned the involvement of the husband's son, so no.

D'awwww.

I'm not core target demo for this, but I'm certainly not watching "out of anthropoligcal interest". I'm watching because I think it's often quite lovely in its lowkey approach. Maybe I could stand someone like Patrick only in small quantities, if I knew him in real life, but the same applies to Jesse and Celine in…

Straight woman here, in case someone is still counting. But I only get around to watching it on Tuesdays, when the conversation is mostly over already.

Mis-aimed at teenage girls. Tumblr had a field day with the trailer.

The trailer for this was both the creepiest and the cheesiest thing I've ever seen. I've been looking for a way to describe this strange mixture of creepy-cheesiness (creesy? cheepy?) ever since, but Nicolas Sparks' Straw Dogs captures it perfectly, thanks.

This makes me sad. I liked him so much in In Bruges. Never wanted to see him in rom-coms.

I'm so conflicted about this - I keep reading how it's really mediocre, but I also keep seeing these gifsets with Richard Armitage in leather on my dash.

I also think Lynn's rejection of Dom's offer to cook him dinner (presumably that famed peri peri chicken?) nicely mirrors Patrick's rejection of Kevin's offer to go for fried chicken. Both get invited to a meal by a person they are attracted to, but resist the temptation, so that they can protect their own hearts…

I spent my ERASMUS semester in Scotland, and maybe it's just confimation bias, but I decided pretty soon to stick to the Indian joints.
