It mirrors my reaction in that respect. He brought out a lot of legitimate issues but it was still enjoyable! I guess it shows the limitations of grading.

I'm not a book reader but I agree with you. I mean, how the hell are those two gonna get to the Wall? I guess she's gonna leave him there and come back but it seemed pointless to me that he couldn't drop them off closer to the wall. I could have done without that whole Bran scene, really. Didn't care about the Big…

Oh, come on. Arya isn't even sure if any of the Starks are still alive! She is not thinking in terms of a high level stakes war. And if it was, there is little guarantee that she would care even a little bit about it. She is wreaking personal vengeance. It's the beauty of her repeating her line about "I am Arya Stark"…

A looooooong time ago, but I'm not surprised some fans are only just picking up on it, or find it an odd position to take. We acknowledge that GoT "breaks the fantasy mold" or whatever by rarely putting forward any straight good or bad characters. Yet when we point out the flaws or dark spots in show faves many tend…

I can only say that our difference of opinion reveals how the same show can play differently to two persons. Perhaps it points to the flaws in the show's writings with the uneven consequences and ramifications of violence on different characters, as pointed out in the review.

He is more useful to his allies alive rather than dead. That's his top skill. Cersei is only aware of one good reason to go after him now only because of his now public alliance with the Starks. (She had no idea about his role in killing Joffrey or helping Sansa escape.) And even then, I think she would try to bribe…

I agree with you. This is one of the few reviews of the whole season in which Nowalk brought up a whole slew of good points, even if he I weren't on the same page. They have given up on complex characterisations. It's sloppy to have Olenna before and after the death of her future still being a sassy so and so. Doesn't…

Is this sarcasm? Sincere question. I can't tell. It's early, haven't had my coffee.

Right? I don't think people get how much this project has changed her and how little long term satisfaction she will reap from it. It is not impossible, or even improbable that she will begin (if she hasn't already) to prioritise the violence over everything else, as it was the one thing she could rely on to ensure…

I guess that depends on how you view persons who revel in violence, whether it springs from honourable or corrupt motivations. It is never easy to take a life but we make distinctions between those sprung from violent emotion, suddenly provoked (like the first Frey soldier), and those which are premeditated.

Hmm, He didn't look that sulky to me at all. He's usually 20 steps ahead of everyone else and I'm sure he guessed how things would turn one way or the other. His look with Sansa at the end was an acknowledgement that this shit here was not in his major concern. He deliberately disconnected himself from the proceedings…

Before anything, have to say, I think that Littlefinger made a rare (minor/major?) mistake by telling Sansa exactly what he wants. But he seems to be in a brazen idgaf mode that I'm kinda terrified about what he has planned. Arya may be her and Jon's trump card if she meets up with them and Littlefinger doesn't learn…

The White House has tempered its tone since the vote results. We'll see what Obama has to say about it later today.

It's weeeiiird to me because which government in the world, including Canada, doesn't have corruption or leaders who siphon off funds in way or the other? Why is that a reason to shrug it off as problems of their own making? I just find the whooooole situation catastrophically horrific but even a lot of immigrants (in…

I bought into the nice image wholesale until I started undergrad there, and a First Nation student methodically dismantled the illusion, while my eyes widened. We just never heard about stuff like that in the Caribbean. Or anything about Canada, really. I was shocked it still had an indigenous population.

Hamburger in a can. #neverforget

Yeah. I used to like fast food where I live (Jamaica) which, at the time, used local beef. Then I tried the stuff in Canada and the USA and…well…it turned me off the whole concept. When I'm drunk or starving, yes, otherwise, no, thank you. That is not real food.

Lord Almighty, oh! I've never been so enticed. Oh I wish I could have the body of Christ!

Is it even made with real cheese? :-/
