Dany's got dragons, though. I don't mean to take away from Dany herself, but being reborn from literal fire has got to be a huge confidence boost.

Ride or Die with Sansa, all the way! I nearly always liked Sansa. She was pretty hard to get 100% behind in the early days, but she was also a kid who acted age appropriate. It's really easy to bag on her for not being some kind of political mastermind or a murder machine, but its also kind of ridiculous. She's a…
Whoa! I stopped watching that show during Season 2, just never grabbed me like the previous series did. I just had to google Korrasami to make sure I was remembering character names correctly and I was! And that's awesome! Seriously, good for them for doing that. And the fact that I have not heard about it until just…
I just watched this last night. I was as entertained by the episode as I have been with any other episode of Scandal, and I think this is kind of an interesting thing to try out, especially since Rowan was getting tedious. But it brought home my main problem with the show: Olivia is kind of an idiot.
For real, I used to work at a marketing-type company and so many of our clients freaked out over Millennials and how worried they are that Millennials don't buy lotto tickets or go to Olive Garden or go to grocery stores or use health care or buy brand new cars like the generations before them, and I was just like,…
Yes, that is where I've heard that voice before! Thank you!
Me too! I think that clip needs to be shown in comedy writing. It was the absolute perfectly timed pause. You know its coming, you're waiting, waiting…and just when you think maybe they're going to go in a slightly different direction but haven't quite given up on it…TOAST. I died.
I know no one is reading this anymore, but I absolutely adore Bubblegum, I think she is one of the most awesome and interesting female characters on TV period. My husband always sort of pokes fun of me, because she definitely is a jerk. But I think her reasons have been so well drawn that I can't hate her for it, and…
Hey…I liked it. Staging a musical live on TV is kind of a stupid thing to do in the first place, but I think it's kind of goofy and fun in a "Let's put on a show!" kind of way. And because its a stupid thing to do, you're not going to get a lot of big name actors willing to put themselves out there. Allison…
I agree. Kickstarter is a great idea, and has been used for cool things, but I have seen it (and other services like it) used for straight up begging. Things like, "Please fund my manicures for a year because teaching is hard!" or "I want to quit my job and draw pictures in Africa, fund my adventure!" There is more…
OK, what I should have said is, "Before a writer decides to include a rape scene, they should ask themselves what they are trying to accomplish. Is the act the entire point, and it will it be dealt with directly and thoughtfully? Or is it a narrative shortcut to elicit a certain audience response or to show that a…
When the Buffy thing happened, there was endless debate about that too, for many reasons which I don't want to rehash. Yes, I forgot the actual end result, but that was because it didn't really matter. It was the intent of the scene and the characters involved that riled everyone up. Walking Dead had a pretty…
Well, we're watching premium cable. We're all pretty privileged.
There's a thousand ways to die. On accident, from a crime of passion, fighting for what you believe in, protecting someone else, being a random casualty, making a huge stand, fleeing like a coward, because someone had something someone else wanted.
You're right, I did forget for a second that she did fight him off. But they didn't need that scene to show female agency. The whole show was about female agency.
It doesn't really matter if it was in character. You could have a solid argument both ways. The thing is, Jamie Lannister doesn't exist. An actual person can have all kinds of motivation to rape someone, but no matter how well-written a fictional character is, he still can only do what his writers tell him to do.
Yeah, I was bummed too. I think mostly because the guy they recast him with looks like all the other dudes on this show, where the first guy, love him or hate him, definitely stood out. But the actor himself seems pleasant enough. I think I just wished they stuck with the "look" a little more, even it's a wig. …
So basically, she's wandering around looking for random encounters so that she can gain XP.
That is also my secret personal ending to Harry Potter. And Luna is teaching the Care of Magical Creatures course.
I think the fatal flaw of this show is how literally it took it's premise. That the show could only end soon after the moment he meets "the mother" because that's what it's called, and now, the idea they had to go with the ending they filmed 9 years ago because….what. The children they used who were part of the show…
