Yes, but this is the show we're talking about. These characters have been so underutilized there that many people don't realize Carice van Houten and Liam Cunningham are credited main cast instead of being recurring or guest stars. Neither really has enough clout with the cable audience to suddenly pull main

I mean Jon Snow has to still be alive for the simple reason that there's no one else at the Wall the audience knows well enough to act as a viewpoint character. And the Wall has been such an important part of the show up to this point that it's just impossible to believe they'd abandon that story arc right as the

My good name is constantly sullied the hacktivist group: Anonymous.

"There’s two facets to why I picked that song. One is that it’s my least favorite Nirvana song. I also just straight-up don’t like it as a song."

I once saw a reddit thread asking people what their favorite TV show was and the top comment was "How I Met Your Mother, but only for the first three seasons. The rest is unwatchable." It baffled me that someone could claim something was their favorite and simultaneously hate 2/3rds of the total output but something

This was an amazing season finale, right up there with the Crossroads of Destiny in terms of both quality and sheer amount of world fuck-uppery that you know will be amazing to watch them deal with in the next season. That world weariness on Korra's face even as the Air Nation tries to be upbeat and positive is just

I don't know who specifically will take the Iron Throne but right now it looks like the Tyrells will be the house that will come out of the war in the best position or rather, the least harmed. They're richer than and just as smart as the best Lannisters, they've lost none of their important lords or bannermen, and

You have to admire Macklemore's dedication to proving he's the most clueless and dimwitted socially conscious rapper alive. And that's the best case scenario for this whole ordeal.

Everyone else noticed that this guy called the African National Congress "the AMC," right? I hope that's just a typo on the writer's part but given some of the other stupid statements in this article, it would not surprise me to learn that the interviewee legitimately confused the most famous African political

"Part of it is probably astrological"

Looking back, I think part of the reason Lennon was held in higher esteem is that he got a lot of undeserved critical credit for being willing to espouse radical viewpoints in his songwriting even though he was never particularly good at doing that. Imagine is the prime example, it's one of the best compositions of

The twins have been played as borderline emotionless all season so them not reacting feels true to their characters. Korra, on the other hand, has been portrayed as emotionally temperamental and mercurial. Having her suddenly be so calm about something so potentially traumatic is faintly disturbing.

I know she apologized afterward, what I meant was that it was weird she was completely emotionless when killing him (where normally you might see a quick comment like "I'm sorry I couldn't save you uncle" before the killing blow) then apologized after the fact and even then, she didn't seem too broken up about having

Thing that bugged me: Korra's apparent killing of her uncle. I'm not against having the main character kill and it's certainly in line with Korra's personality to kill for a cause she believes in, but it bugs me that she knowingly murdered her uncle without even the standard apology-before-the-deathblow scene. He's

I want them to stay together forever.

I think the ending of Alex and Luke's story would've been infinitely better if it had been rewritten so that one of them had won over Sienna by the end. Preferably Alex because then it could be used as a springboard to get her out of those tiresome, played out "Alex has no friends" story lines and it would give Luke

C+, huh? I don't know why but I really had high hopes for Great Expectations.

Honestly, the Shakespeare sketch was one of my favorite things ever on this show. The part where Shakespeare tries to escape blame by pretending that his plays are written by Christopher Marlowe? Brilliant. What other comedic team would even think of making that joke and then actually trust their audience to

I don't generally worry too much about silly psuedo-science in these types of shows but oh God, "Your blood platelets are flame resistant" physically hurt me.
