Game of Thrones sucks, Mad Men is very good but still somehow overrated.

Honestly, this is what I kind of like about awards — they serve as a reminder of what was actually popular and well-regarded in the period, not what we remember in hindsight.

But they have superheroes in them and don't make me want to shoot myself in the head! Therefore they're the best shows of all time.

The Good Wife has always had an upper-class liberal perspective, and used political issues as a backdrop for its characters' personal life. These are things that bug me persistently about the series, but they didn't just pop up in this episode out of nowhere.

Honestly, this might be more of a problem with the network TV format, but the constant need to keep the regulars involved frequently comes off as contrived. Lockhart-Gardner was a huge firm, so why was Alicia always working with the same few lawyers, and why were Will and Diane personally involved with every other…

I was pretty disappointed by Ex Machina, but Runaways and Saga are both must-reads.

If you watch some of the extra videos and social media stuff that the WWE does, it's surprising how much personality anonymous midcard guys like Big E or Ryback have. And then on the actual TV shows they just show up and lose and nobody cares.

In The Good Wife, the most violent act possible is tossing wine down the sink.

There's still Mad Men's last season, and the Emmys fucking love Mad Men, but at this point I would say TGW is easily the better show.

In particular the AV Club spent a lot of time making fun of/complaining about NBC for not picking this up last year, so they probably don't want to conclude that it's bad.

Between Eph and Setrakian, the overwhelming message of The Strain is "trust tough-guy patriarchal figures or you will die, you idiot".

"The Waters of Mars" as an all-time classic? I know that people like to look back at the Davies seasons with rose-coloured glasses, but really?

I watched the first episode of this a while back and thought that it had a lot of nice directorial touches, but that the plot was heading straight towards contrived miserablism. The "actually, I am giving you a raise" scene was so overtly manipulative I cringed. Is the rest worth watching, or does it just stay…

Wilfred, you were usually pretty okay. And now that you're in your final hours, you have received your ultimate reward: a two-sentence blurb in What's On Tonight. Well done, sir.

I dunno, if I saw some pale guy eating a raw steak I would definitely make some vampire joke, but I wouldn't start going after the guy with a stake. Most of the characters' reactions make sense if they don't realize they're in a genre show where violence is the only solution.

Now he just has to make sure that half the seasons aren't awful!

"Why is this hall full of spinning blades?"
"It's just like it was on the TV show!"
"It was a poorly written TV show!"

So, how is this different from any other week?

And Pop Tarts!

Actually, I think there are a lot of very good reasons not to like Game of Thrones.
