    I would give Pucks! a chance. Matt LeBlanc, Mircea Monroe, Sam Palladio. Can't be worse than these.

    Maybe it's confirmation bias, but these confirm what I thought when I read the initial summaries.

    Johanna Braddy is now the only person on Quantico who has enough acting talent to be lead in a high school play.

    Dullsville schedule. It's remarkable to think that a show could be badly damaged by losing the acting of Ryan Phillippe, but Secrets & Lies manages to pull it off. I did 3 seasons of Graceland. I don't need anymore Daniel Sunjata in my life. Haley Atwell's great, but Conviction sounds as generic as the title.

    There was more realistic CGI in Jurassic World.

    Freddie Stroma was great on unReal and Josh Bowman was…handsome on Revenge. But I'm very skeptical how this works for 22 episodes, and Kevin Williamson is on his fifth strike.

    I got all DDs and FJ here, but never would have gotten DD1 in the time allotted.

    I'm just disappointed we won't get to see Balon Greyjoy as a contestant on "Who's More Grizzled?"

    Pope Francis.

    It's one of the weird problems of translating a fantasy series to a modern audience. We naturally sympathize with the skeptics even after we've seen the magic. So Davos's pep talk to Melisandre sounds good, but doesn't make any sense at all when you think about it for even 2 seconds.

    That often happens in daytime soaps, so much so that I wonder whether it's realizing the characters' potential or it's the clarity of a storyline writing them off.

    He can't do an American accent, that's for sure. And even in The Fall, he's best when he doesn't speak and is a sort of force. The scenes where he has to "act" are the worst.

    The comic on which this is based has some nice elements, but I never thought it was movie material. I'm genuinely wondering how this got a supporting cast with well-known (and working) actors. They can't all have tax delinquencies, can they?

    For all his subplots, it's weird that GRRM didn't have a real sense of the line of succession, particularly since he wanted to kill a lot of people.

    It's odd since this is something people in that era would be acutely aware of, and (for all his other flaws) GRRM is usually pretty good at this stuff.

    This raises an interesting question - who is the heir apparent of Westeros?

    It strikes me how much of the entertainment for Black America is designed for only a certain subset. I mean, Power is better than this, and the Tyler Perry soaps, VH1/Bravo reality shows are worse, but they're all basically pitched to the same audience.

    C'mon. Dorne isn't a great plot in the novels, but you can't blame GRRM for the show's adaptation because it's completely different. They drove themselves into the ditch last season, so I don't give them credit for culling it.

    If Dany is stupid enough to team up with the Sand Snakes, I'm rooting for someone completely random to "win" the game of thrones, like Fortinbras in Hamlet.

    Are the Sand Snakes in King's Landing where they killed Trystane?
