but it's not even really comparable? Aside from the base fact that both Catelyn and Vogel are mothers and both get their throats slit…sure, the fact that you didn't HAVE to reference it doesn't mean you shouldn't, but I'm not really getting anything from the comparison? Surely the point of a reference like that one is…

I wasn't anywhere near as infatuated as all these reviewers are, and I've seen the whole season. I would say that it was a B+ show overall, with a few scenes and performances that truly elevate it. I almost think it's worth, if you're watching it on your own, fast-forwarding through some of the scenes that annoy you.…

uhm, Todd, why did you spoil Mad Men in a totally unrelated review?

Although that doesn't happen in Storm of Swords and the book scene is still very harrowing.

Can anyone who's seen this tell me what Julia Ormond's role is in it? I keep hearing she's really good and haunting, but minor, so the reviews don't really talk about her.

Gillian Flynn may beg to differ.

sorry to make any generalisations, but in general, this is why I'm iffy about people who love Jessa but dislike the other girls. Jessa is pretty, but without the pretty, IMO, she's no "better" than the others. And being pretty doesn't make her any better than them, just nicer to look at. I do wonder if Jessa, who…

can you go back and change them, Carrie, or are they set in stone now?

Jesus Christ, that's so disturbing.

I think there's also a degree of grading against the show itself, which may be my personal bias coming out - I think Sherlock is 7/10 TV and I haven't seen Elementary yet.

also further on @eric827:disqus 's point: surely "the mole" can the work as a kind of "a wizard did it" for Homeland. By not naming the mole, "the mole" can be a bit of a catch-all and removes the need for a lot of explanations.The mole found it out, was present, knows. They don't have to tie the mole into being…

Yeah, but the selective mutism thing isn't THAT hard to address. They send Raj to a speech therapist, play a mildly abusive childhood for laughs as they did with Leonard or Sheldon (you've already got maybe 3 or 4 episode B/C-plots because an A-plot…really?!), and he slowly sloooowly tries to talk to women. Or men,…

@avclub-50dc927fdffe602f83de27df7e42d67d:disqus  Sure, Sheldon never admits he's wrong, but he also totally bullies, belittles and torments his friends. We've all known people who are sanctimonious assholes, but very few of us would be prepared to be friends with someone who is relentlessly abusive and offers no other…

Yeah, that wasn't the complaint. The complaint is that Carrie is RIGHT too often. That's totally different from being 'competent and effectiv'e'; in fact, I'd say the central conflict of her character is that she's right but she can't prove it or do anything about it. Look at The Vest: she was dead on the money about…

This is quite a ridiculous thread…
