Your first point about the Sand Snakes is so accurate and it made me legitimately angry when they murdered Myrcella. I much preferred their book plot, where they think Myrcella is the rightful heir to the thrown after Joffrey dies because she’s older than Tommen and skipping over female heirs is insulting.

I always read book Margaery was genuinely sweet and innocent, which served only to show just how batshit paranoid Cersei really was once you started getting her perspective in book 4. Natalie’s portrayal of the character totally through me at first but she definitely made Margaery far more interesting to watch.

Yessssss. This is 100% how I feel about the Sansa hate. It absolutely reeks of misogyny. Starting in season 1 when the main criticism of her was all basically around the fact that she was a pretty typical young girl (“all she cares about is dresses and princes and fairytells, so lame”) whereas her sister Arya…

Jackie from Veronica Mars as a superhero? I’m in.

Oh, don’t get me wrong, I still think The Americans is the best show on television. It just surprises me that those earlier seasons, despite critical praise (I think the 2nd and 3rd seasons in particular were basically at the top of every television critics best of lists) never received proper award recognition. I…

Ha, I totally know which one you still go to then! We were very jealous that one stayed 24 hours bc unless we were coming home from a concert in that direction, it was too out of the way to frequent.

Yeah, it’s kind of exhausting to always listen to adults make fun of kid names while claiming it’s other kids that will inevitably pick on them. Kids won’t know a name is weird unless adults tell them that (and honestly, if a kid wants to pick on someone, having a “weird” vs “normal” name won’t really make a…

Fellow Metro Detroiter here! Spent a whole lot of time hanging around various Coneys in my day!

Counting Crows are my favorite band ever. I am amused that she discovered Colorblind and Long December in 2006 though.

I was trying to think of any circumstance in which a man to whom I’m not personally close could compliment me physically without it feeling creepy (or like a come on) and I honestly cannot.

Also, to your 2nd point, I totally agree about Lee. Seems the producers grossly miscalculated viewers interest in watching this type of “drama” unfold. Silly fights and catty competition is fun, but racial antagonization for entertainment is not ok. And for the show to try to frame it as “jealousy” and “ego” between…

I think it’s my favorite movie dress of all time. Right up there with Gwyneth Paltrow’s cut velvet dress in Great Expectations (which I can’t find a good image of but it was the below dress in green for the movie and I clearly have a thing for green dresses)

Yeah, I don’t know whether or not going on the reunion really is the right thing for Demario to do but I understand why he would think that it would. And also, ABC has to do some damage control here. They certainly don’t want people thinking they witnessed a rape and did nothing, so I imagine it’s pretty important for…

I think it’s a little unfair to say Demario is just looking to extend his 15 min. Besides the fact that he didn’t even apply to be on the show in the first place, he was approached at a Chipotle or something by production, but also the show really left him looking pretty bad- between the ex confrontation on…

Yeah, I know but that doesn’t really make up for ignoring the first 3 seasons, which were some of the finest performances on television. And the Martindale nominations always made me even more annoyed, I mean she’s fine in the show but to nominate her while otherwise dismissing such an amazing show? What Kerri Russell…

It’s kinda funny that you mentioned Atonement with Gemma’s dress, since Maisie’s is basically a knock off of the iconic green dress from that movie

Television is so crowded with talent right now that they’ll never win but it makes me really happy to finally see The Americans actors getting some acknowledgement from the Emmys, even if this was the weakest season of the show so far.

When I was in the 7th grade (1994-95) my dad bought the Counting Crows cd August and Everything After and proceeded to play it all the time. I was 13 and the only thing I knew was liking the same anything as my parents was definitely not cool so I was very vocal about my complete disdain for the Counting Crows (even…

This is so accurate. It’s annoying how everything involving Taylor is projected to have some significant deep meaning. Taylor’s hanging out with her friends- she’s showing off how exclusive of a clique they are... Taylor has famous people in a music video- that’s a message to Katy Perry that she knows more famous…

It’s amazing that he seems to think that he’s with the Jews in this offensive hypothetical scenario when his rhetoric clearly shows that he’s got the Nazi talking points down
