One thing I quite enjoyed about the treatment of the Prolethians was the manner in which consent was handled. Rather than painting them as bluntly evil, they did a good job employing the idea that the patriarch was using a sinister moralistic fallacy to justify his actions: Giving consent is moral, therefore anyone…

By any chance, have you read the preview chapter for Arya that GRRM released?

Don't forget zombie Coldhands! But yeah, he's definitely coming back pretty imo. He's going to become The Boy Who Lived.

Maria Thayer is so incredibly beautiful, funny, and charming that whenever she appears onscreen I get preemptively annoyed at her inevitably quick departure from said screen. Someone give her a comedy to headline.

It feels good to be understood!

I just naturally assumed that he'll rise from the flames as a parallel to Dany being unburnt, and as part of the Azor Ahai mythos.

It's not really Harry though. His name is actually Matt.

That sounds like the ending to Animorphs.

Yes, but Netflix doesn't have simulcasting — the final episodes were added later — which means that its not going to have the same cultural impact. Feel free to look up the BBM ratings and the piracy numbers if you don't believe me though.

Why do you keep adding in pointless name calling like the "silly people" thing? What does that add?

I would like to try a "Drunk Uncle" themed ice cream. By which I mean "rum themed".

Holy shit, I never even thought of it that way, but it makes total sense now. Thanks Buddy!, and Thank You, introductory Mandarin course that I recently completed!

1) So why does Charm not matter for Harper? You're substituting "charm" as a catch-all concept for something that's handled by a well-tooled communications machine.

No, I'm under the completely accurate impression that viewing numbers in Canada and the United States don't match up. This is particularly true in terms of channels like AMC, which has fairly low household penetration in Canada.

Walking Dead's current numbers now dwarf the final eight BBs, but even if they were the same, that's sort of my point: The people on The Walking Dead are not household names, despite their show's huge numbers.

Yes, we do say "aboat"! I've never understood the "aboot" thing. I have American friends who mimic me whenever I say about, and I'm always like "c'mon guys, mock me accurately please."

I feel like you're talking about Canada rather than Calgary, so I'm basing my answer as such…

Right, but ratings are probably more accurate than gauging the people in our social circle.

How does this review match up with an A-? It's written like a C+ sort of review.

"Paging Dr. Zimmerman! You're needed in the O.R. stat!"
