I was going to make a Arya and the Hound based pun, but there's no one on this show cool enough for that comparison.

EVERY character has been made an idiot for these plots to work.

So, in addition to causing an alien invasion, allowing his agency to suffer the most massive infiltration in intelligence history, and stockpiling weapons he was supposed to destroy, Fury is now responsible for performing power-enhancing experiments on dangerous villains without anyone's knowledge.

Blackout was only trying to buy some Skittles…

Koening is supposed to be a level 6 agent who Nick Fury trusted with an extremely important project. The amount of basic job competence it takes to ask 'Are you working for Hydra?' and demand a yes or no answer is so small it's humilliating that this show thought it could get away with it.

'So guys, we need an idea for the plot of our Amy Acker episode. Ideas?'

As one of the six people on this site who kind of like this show in the same way I kind of like the Big Bang Theory, these apologies don't really address the really big problems with the show. Namely, the female characters are almost universally poorly written klutzes.

Olivia Munn was probably the best thing about this show.

People watch the Newsroom.

No, people are upset about the tv scene because there WAS NO eventual consent shown. She consents in the book, not the show.

Well you botched his character in the tv show too, so I'm not sure what to tell you.

I didn't ignore anything. I quoted the part where she consents.

I hereby register my skepticism that the show is going to diverge so massively from the books.

If they wanted to go by the book where it was consensual, that would be one thing. The fact that he doesn't seem to recognize that that isn't what he filmed is disappointing.

On the other hand, how great was that speech from Daenerys, right?! Guys?

He seemed to be trying to compare it to the book version, where Cersei does get into it and consider the sex consensual.

“Hurry,” she was whispering now, “quickly, quickly, now, do it now, do me now. Jaime Jaime Jaime.” Her hands helped guide him. “Yes,” Cersei said as he thrust, “my brother, sweet brother, yes, like that, yes, I have you, you’re home now, you’re home now, you’re home.” She kissed his ear and stroked his short bristly

A) You have obviously not read the books, so please refrain from commenting on what constitutes Jaime's character.

Bullshit. The ONLY two characters in the entire story who haven't had to deal for trying to achieve power are Bronn and Littlefinger. Having female characters fail is not sexism in a book where Ned, Tyrion, Renly, Robb, Stannis, Jon, and Tywin exist.

Dude, you are WRONG. One one-liner from Jaime does not in any way translate into planning the freaking Red Wedding.
