Well that's what he says, but I don't buy any of it.  He's making excuses.  People's use of phrases like "white-people problems" does not force screenwriters to write characters like T-Dog from Walking Dead.  And I admitted that the label is reductive.  But if i were to articulate my thoughts instead, I'm 90% sure a…

There are "real life" non-white people.  Also, don't make an absolute claim like "I am not racist" without asking yourself, "Why is it sometimes okay not to represent diversity?  Why are all my friends white?"

No; as a black male, I feel like the article stretches itself thin trying to justify sometimes forgetting about non-white cultural and critical perspectives.  I interpret the article as saying,

You just put this GoT expert to shame, you brilliant motherfucker.

"Would you believe, I loved him once?"—Renly, on his brother Stannis.

He knows.  He was joking, fuckhead.

I love how this show seems to want to offer commentary on the Communist takeover of China, and seems to want to use complex discourse to do so.  For example, I don't think it's exactly an accident that an egalitarian political movement is springing up in a place called Republic City, and that that movement's method,…

I've read all five books and still don't know what L+R=J is.  Is it Lyanna+Robert=Jon?  Cause I think that's sort of farfetched.

E. Buzz Miller, I might have interpreted idiot's comment wrong to be honest with you, but in any case I'm tired of watching him be a trolling dick.

Fuck you, idiotking.  Newbies, Varys just gives Tyrion a riddle to think about, and makes a speech about the illusory nature of power.  That's all.

As a fellow expert, I gotta say seeing you troll the hell out of these newbies is fucking irritating.  Every time I read a comment of yours, especially in the context of ASOIAF, there seems pretty much a fifty-fifty chance of you saying something that makes me just want to go, "Fuck you."

Hell yes.  Whoever that is they got to play Sallador Saan was great in that scene.  Loved Davos' and his friendship in the books.

Now that was a great comment.  Probably helps that i agree with you on how they're fleshing out Cersei.

I used to respect your contributions to AVclub commentary.  Lately though, you've been coming off more and more as a blowhard. You should try grounding your comments in a bit more intellectual context to avoid this.  That's just me though.

Emilia Clarke is a pleasure to look at.

Fuck Wun Wun.

Damn. Niggas don't waste time making incredibly unseemly cartoon porn, do they.

I know the character's 17, but I've gotta say, she's a cutie.  And I'm surprised by how well I like her already.  The trailers made it seem like she'd be kind of obnoxious.  Glad that's not true.

Some of you have mentioned the beauty of the cinematography and the improvements to the first series' already great animation, but allow me to hyperbolize:  This is the best looking animated series I've seen since Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex.  All kinda subtle, nuanced flourishes in the characters'…

There's always moral instruction whether the writer inserts it deliberately or not. The least effective moral instruction in fiction is that which is consciously inserted. Partly because it won't reflect the storyteller's true beliefs, it will only reflect what he BELIEVES he believes, or what he thinks he should…
