Killing main characters is all well and good but that would just be lame, and totally fuck up the story. The dragons and Dany arriving in Westeros is a total game changer (or will be if Martin ever gets there). There is being ruthless with characters, and then there is denying yourself exciting and interesting plot

He should have an everyday ornamental hand, and then a battle hand, which could just be a long needle like blade, sort of like what Merle had in the Walking Dead.

I don't understand your beef with Aemon's "I grew up in King's Landing" line. It wasn't meant to be exposition. We were already told directly who Aemon was way back when Jon tried to desert the Night's Watch to join Robb on the battlefield, and Aemon had his little heart to heart with Jon, who guessed that he was

I like Boyd, but he will always be shithead Shane to me.

I hate judges… so judgmental.

I don't think that's the problem… I have never read the comics, and I actually had no idea Walking Dead was so popular when I started hating on it. I was shocked when I saw what kind of ratings it was pulling down compared to non-shitty shows like Breaking Bad… Even the series finale of Breaking Bad had less viewers

Season 2 was better than Season 3 or 4, if you didn't like that, don't waste your time, the show sucks.

You act like people don't like it because it's not some artsy character driven drama with zombies… No my friend, people would be quite happy with a thrilling, action driven, suspenseful zombie show. But TWD is not that… In fact, if anything it TRIES to be "Mad Men with zombies" and fails miserably, instead becoming

And that's another fucking thing that pisses me off about the Walking Dead, they think it's so fucking important that they follow every episode with this whole long winded other show where they just TALK about it..I cannot even begin to fathom the level of boredom that people who watch that must have reached.

I completely agree… And there's something really annoying in that I can't quite articulate why "nothing ever happens"… Because if someone laid out everything that has happened, you'd probably be forced to go "oh ok, yeah I guess, you're right, a lot does happen". But it's something about the pacing or the plotting or

Bored to Death has one of the most creative and cool intro sequences out there. Absolutely love it. Otherwise, the classic is Sopranos… Freaks and Geeks is awesome as well.

I actually love that song but I agree a rap song doesn't really fit the bill for a show about Kentucky featuring neo-nazis, hillbillies, and a marshall who still wears a stetson hat.

I thought that "What's this?" line about Boyd's smokes was kind of dumb. Yeah, it's obviously a pack of cigarettes. I realize they wanted to draw attention to them but we already saw him doing some thing weird with earlier. They should have left it at "I didn't know you smoked" from duffy.

Shane was a very unlikable guy, but still a much better character than Boyd. One of the greatest characters and arcs in TV history.

Also, I know she's in prison and treats like that are invaluable, but could she even eat that much ice cream before grub time is over and she has to go back to her cell? I don't think they let you take food back to your cell, they will think you stole it if you have that much extra.

Yeah but she didn't know that…

The fact that they call themselves "Explorers" is one of the most annoying things. You own a stupid cell phone that you wear on your face, you're not fucking Christopher Columbus. This idea that they're some kind of trail blazing heroes of forward thinking is completely ridiculous and just another reason to punch

The comparison to Segway is apt. Like Segway, Google Glass will be a failure because it breaks the number one rule: don't make your product make the user look like a total dork.

Plenty of Portland shit annoys me but can someone explain to me why embracing some kind of life of suburban banality is seen as a necessary part of "growing up"? What does having a mortgage have to do with being an adult? Some of the biggest idiots I know had kids, got married, and bought a house in their early

While I'm sure Raylan would be a welcome change from her usual clientele, I'm also sure that "Only $500 for you" line is just to make the guy feel special and she uses it on everybody. Even for a hooker that hot, $1000/hour is expensive, and the ones who do make that kind of money don't have to chat up guys at the bar.
