Yeah, rather unkind to gloss over the supporting cast, for one.

Oh gawd… Kira powers… Arthur and Donnie powers…. my brain, my brain… stop it now, stop it….

Overall, this was a mixed bag. Maybe it was a fundamental error of trying to wrap everything up in a one-hour episode when a two-hour finale was probably necessary given how many balls were up in the air. Then, some more High Drama stuff could have been handled more effectively without having to cram it all into the

As a pure pulpy thriller/actioner, Shooter holds up pretty well and probably the most rewatchable movie Antoine Fuqua ever did. The supporting cast helps a lot, too, from Rade Šerbedžija and Danny Glover having their best Hollywood parts in ages (or since) to Ned Beatty doing his growling Dick Cheney impersonation to

It'd be ironic if that happened while he was golfing — and in a bunker.

Meanwhile, Felix pouts in a corner.

I don't buy this, at all. There were too many other factors: methods of voter disenfranchisement, especially in keys states; Russian interference; etc., etc. But what really did the damage, the biggest and cruelest damage, was people assuming Clinton was going to win. It was people assuming that there was no way

This is where your American system is profoundly f*cked up: post-election, the losing party has no real, tangible and visible leadership. You don't, as in Canada or the UK, have a Leader of the Opposition and you don't elect someone to be until months before an election. You have individual politicians who make

How about, "Come with me if you want to live."

At this point, I think America's still in the position where it can say, "We failed in 2016, but we won't fail again." And I think people have to start thinking of this in the exact way I said above: that this is a fight for America's soul and it has to fought as such.

And, worse, it was all there for people to see long before any actual elections happened…

Long ago, I was one of those people who said that Tr*mp had to be more than defeated in the election (and the primaries, too, actually), he had to be TROUNCED. He had to be flatly and unequivocally rejected by an overwhelming majority of voters in such a way that no other politician or talking-head would dare follow

Good, but still too close to literate to be Tr*mp. Then again, if you were able to get a spot-on Tr*mp parody, we'd all start worrying that you'd have suffered a stroke or a traumatic brain injury.

Well, not again, anyway.

So, someone adds jackhammer noises to a 1 minute clip from GoT and this warrants an article at the AVC. Next up: 600 words on the latest cranky kitty GIF!

Oh, gawd, up in Canada, the Twain was bloody relentless. But it was nice to learn that rocket scientists don't impress her.

Theoretically, there is one other possibility, that Bran wargs into one of the dragons. But, given what we've seen in the season previews, it may well be that he wargs into a dragon which becomes an ice dragon, though probably not until the last season.

I'm probably going to destroy my credibility forever by saying this, but, here goes:

They're both far too clothed for all concerned.
