It's what I pin my hopes to … I will never forgive SyFy for what they did to Dune and Earthsea. Their track record with adaptations has been terrible.

Does the Golan character actually kill/maim anyone? If so, is it one of those cartoon universe things where the character resets in the next scene/episode?

Terriers! Watch that! And then shed a bitter tear that it got cancelled.

Finally something to place alongside 'Glory'.

Exactly. And in fact, I expect that once Lf assesses what a shitshow Cersei has made to bringing down Margaery to regain power over the throne (which is what Olenna accuses her of by misaddressing her), he will certainly plan a few more moves.
Consider, he understands the threat of the Sparrows and he can see how weak…

Here's some sardonic praise - only an auteur like Allen could find a way to debase one trope, the hooker with a heart of gold, with another trope, the magical negro and do it in service of his own narcissism.

a whole one-HALF of a movie. The tragic half, I might add.

M. Night is why I won't watch this series until it's concluded. I'll just follow these reviews to see the grades it's getting from the reviewer and community. If see solid As and Bs and no drop-offs by the halfway mark I might reconsider that stance.

I haven't read the books but Tommen cannot long for this world. He not only as you noted went to the High Sparrow, thus showing a stunning lack of understanding of power (and the absence of Tywin is no more … um … stark … than in the shenanigans of the sparrows.) but he also allowed them to turn him away after…

Ehhhh, looks rough.
I'm glad that Milana has a role though because she definitely has breakout talent.

He's not a pol, he's a worker bee but I still agree his arc has been unconvincing to me. Part of it is Cas' reactions to his statements. She just gives him the "you don't get it look" and shrugs him off. And if the 12 Monkeys now know that Cole didn't die, does that mean that Ramse knows? And if he does, did he order…

Hm, I disagree and I'll make this my last reply as I think we're probably at an impasse, which is of course fine.

Nah, he's right.

I'm with you, that was shaky. The only way I squared with it was that he blurted that out because of the pressure of the situation when in reality it might've been a hundred short or exactly right. It was obvious contrivance.

I understand your point. And while well-argued, I think we're just having a spirit vs. letter debate.
I think Jimmy's actions in context expose Chuck's 'concerns' as at best hysteria and at worst outright deflection from his own issues. You see them as validating those concerns regardless of context.
Sure, like Mike…

Well, yes we have. And he makes the good but flawed guy choice in some but at no point is he looking to victimize or harm. The examples we have to work with are his skateboard scam, which he cooks up not to get his hands on money he knows they have but to get them to hire him when they're impressed with how vigorous…

But go back and really listen to what Chuck says. He throws out his thin rationalization, but the meat of his emotion is that he's resentful that Jimmy got to a place that Chuck didn't feel he earned. That Jimmy had the presumption to think that it made them on the same level (which I don't think Jimmy gave any…

Here's the thing, and this ties into what Mike was saying. Fundamentally, yes Jimmy's nature would always be Slippin Jimmy. But he aspired to be on the right side of the legal equation. To find his own path to use his gifts helping people while enriching himself as opposed to just enriching himself. He wanted that…

nice catch! Man, Chuck is so terrible.

Don't know why you're analyzing Chuck's bullshit. It's bullshit.
