Clearly, a regime change is needed. The cult-leading, nuclear war-hungry, authoritarian madman has to go.

It was fine. I didn’t hate it.

I actually enjoy the sincerity of this show, and the confidence it has just to be what it is. It isn’t desperate to raise the stakes like so much tv is.

I wonder if the same show with the same script would be getting a much more positive reception if MacFarlane wasn’t involved.

I’m super hyped about the prospect of a pleasant, good-natured show that may be funny in the long run. It’s been so long.

Eh. It’s probably the closest thing to a Star Trek series we’re liable to see for a while.

There was quite a lot of hate for this show early on (advance screenings I assume) ... and I just don’t get it.

This is who they made Forever 21 for. This is who they make Pantene Hair conditioner for.

I love the way that GRRM worked in a half-dozen different tales about the Long Night into the books, and we don’t know which are “real” accounts and which are simply folklore. If I were to look for a real-world parallel, I think it would be the way that many different ancient societies have a “Great Flood” myth…

For Kingsmen 3 I want it set in Canada.

Oh, look. Another “i don’t like what you like so you’re not allowed to like it” remark.

Well, you don’t have to like this character, but characterizing her being held mentally hostage, forced to kill people, and repeatedly raped as something the character should just get the fuck over is pretty shitty.

Sounds like the same old story... IBM is working on an interesting bit of technology, but management, ignorant of how it actually works, are blowing its capabilities way out of proportion. Throw marketing into the mix and you get an even bigger clusterfuck because not only do you have ignorance, but also outright…

There is no room for reasoned debate with unreasonable positions. We don’t give Nazis a platform either because just by being able to be there they’re being validated. The constant white american cry “reasoned debate” has resonated across the history of this country. “Well why can’t you be reasonable and accept…

If you break it down, it is really interesting because warrior women are normalized to him. So normal that he doesn’t even question the idea that women can be epic in battle. What is special (to him, in that moment) is that she is wearing amazing ornate gear, a magic sword covered in jewels, and has what to him are…

After listening to 18 months of “Rogue One is going to suck because Gareth Edwards wants to make a gritty war movie and there is no way Disney lets him kill everyone off”, and then actually seeing Rogue One, I’m assigning this article “the hottest take” status.

Yes, a bunch of people attacking the Ghostbusters before the trailer was released based solely on it being a female Ghostbusters wasn’t sexist at all. Nope. Not at all. It’s not like the internet douchebag brigade waited until the first trailer and absolutely stayed away from a constant barrage of racist and sexist…

Cool how you didn’t actually make a point here, but then again, that’s the beauty of using terms like “mansplaining” and other ad hominem attacks: you don’t actually have to have anything to say to feel like you’re part of the conversation.

She made a remark about a gun massacre and got harassed to the point she deleted all her social media. It wasn’t even that dramatic a message just a general condolence and they went nuts. I suspect it was the same people who hated a female protagonist in TFA and felt that Star Wars is critical of Drumpf.
