Yes, she was. Even with weight fluctuations and all the drug and alcohol abuse, she never completely lost her looks, either.

As @avclub-62ae6d9e1a24836a391716549223464f:disqus  says, the Targaeryans are kind of hit or miss. Aerys was a completely batshit sadist and Viserys was a psycho douchebag, but Rhaegar was supposed to be quite the gentleman warrior.

As I said before, I agree that even by Westerosi standards the Red Wedding was extreme - it's why the Freys will probably never recover from it - but I still think you're underselling the oath-breaking. It's much, much more than an oath to marry, Robb swore to Walder Frey that his family would be royalty, and in…

The Freys didn't kill Robb over a "minor slight." The Walder Frey was going to have the Queen in the North in his immediate family - that's kind of a big deal. Robb broke the deal "for love," which to Walder Frey and Westerosi society at large translates to "good pussy," something that's not important enough to…

@avclub-7624778793b762d4744afae86485c0b8:disqus what they Freys did was well beyond the typical treacherous scheming and villainy. They violated what is supposed to be an inviable tradition of hospitality. People will fuck each other over in as many ways as they can think of, but not while hosting or accepting…

I'm with you, @Dikachu:disqus . Apart from any other concerns, Robb and Cat are so reckless and misguided that they put their allies and loved ones in serious danger all the time. Their sense of honor gets people killed left and right; yes, it's a time of war and people are getting killed in droves already, but Robb…

Especially since Jorah is light-years more attractive than Daario.

The additives might be harmful, but the real problem with addict mothers is that they tend to take horrible care of themselves while pregnant. Eating food with actual nutrients is still the most important thing you can do for your baby.

Even if you had the best heroin in the world every time, you'd still get used to it and the intensity would fade. Still, I don't buy the Trainspotting description, and I've sampled many drugs in my life. "Greatest orgasm multiplied by 100?" No drug can be that good.

I would have posted something glowing a little sooner, but I actually read the interview, not just its title.

I hadn't even heard of this show until a couple of weeks ago, and now I'm practically stopping people on the street to tell them to watch it. I even told my brother he should upgrade his Netflix service to include DVDs since they're removing it from streaming service tomorrow. Hell, I think it should be added to high…

@avclub-a43012a332fc066e7ecf57a9b678fb51:disqus , @avclub-1eba9b4a9af24d47bdc5f3274fb227a1:disqus being Mrs VanDerWerff is only an aha! moment for about ten seconds, especially since the whole-transcribing-the-interview thing does make it pretty clear that the relationship isn't exactly a secret. However, despite…

I also loved Oliver begging Geoffrey to "go back to couple's therapy" with him.

For the incredibly insightful reviews, this fantastic interview - so amazing to hear about their process and their input on your reviews and our comments(!) - and, most importantly, introducing me to this amazing show in the first place, I have only this to say: Todd VanDerWerff, you are a fucking rock star. I can't…

Yeah, Sarah Polley is delightful, but the guy is a prick and not even very attractive, in my opinion. I would have preferred if that romance hadn't actually worked out; the happy ending felt tacked on.

Yeah, I just stumbled across these reviews over the weekend and watched the entire series on Netflix streaming before it expired. It's my birthday this week, and I think the boxed set is going to be my present to myself. I am eternally grateful to Todd for introducing me to this show - it's so fucking amazing I can…

@avclub-05726c736277e78fffb7b9546ad0ec6f:disqus Yeah the pit bull thing is pretty fucked up. I like Savage, but I can't defend that one.

Huh. I guess I've always seen the It Gets Better campaign as a little less fantastical than the rest of you. My reading is that it doesn't say graduating from high school and moving to a larger city magically makes life better, just that growing up and getting away from dependence on one's parents makes it much easier…

@avclub-7706d2dc2da6837340effd985dc620b6:disqus or "bipolar." As someone who is bipolar, the way that gets tossed around can be pretty painful, especially since I don't exactly advertise my diagnosis and no one suspects because it's very well-controlled with medication. Do I freak about it? No. Does it hurt my…

Well he does say that it's controversial, and tells them they're allowed to leave. It might well be imaginary, but it sounds like the kind of lawsuit-bait acting exercise that could totally exist among the more unconventional schools of acting. It's just great to see Darren actually really excited and connecting with…
