"But they haven’t truly made [Russo] someone who will do anything it takes to push his way to the top. Sure, there’s a sense that he wants to be Governor. But does he need it?"

It can't just be her boobs, or she'd be Katie Price. Her face is absolutely stunning, and she's a terrific actress.
I think the characterization in the show is its biggest strength. I can think of few deviations from the book in terms of characterization that I don't think are an improvement (with the major exception of the Hound. I'm not sure if it's the actor, the
writers/director, or a combination thereof, but I don't understand…
I really like what the writers and Lena Headey have done with Cersei; she's more complex than in the books. I also delight in Theon's transition (Alfie Allen was awesome in the back half of Season 2). My favorite relationship never existed in the books: Tywin (gotta love Charles Dance) and Arya (I kind of thought…
Yes, that is precisely what all of the arguments above carefully explaining cultural appropriation boil down to, you disingenuous jerk.
Um, a) I think we can probably just preemptively cross indigenous peoples off the list of "overly-sensitive 'outragers'" and "Big Baby Whiners". And b) Michelle Williams is pretty clearly portrayed above as a Native person, which even the people behind the photoshoot don't dispute. That's called cultural…
Plenty of people have had issues with Gwen Stefani's cultural appropriation (both for her Indian and Harajuku stuff) over the years, and plenty have also written about the problems with the geisha stereotype. I think the appropriation of Native culture going on in this photograph is worth a conversation, and…
Ooooooh, they should get the American Horror Story writers on the case!
@avclub-c75240db34e6c66c3fcd8f7c74188f87:disqus , I dunno, calculated sexual terrorism is enough to make me hate the character and not trust a thing he says or does from that point forward. It didn't seem to me like the Governor stopped short of raping Maggie out of deeply-submerged but still-present decency, but…
Totally. She is completely embodying the flammable glamor of the late '60s. I love it.
I agree; that understated femininity really works for Anna Torv and was a fantastic part of Olivia. There was a scene in "Brown Betty" where she was in wet hair, a T-shirt, and pajama bottoms and looked so sensual and pretty that my husband and I both gasped a bit. There was another scene I think last season when she…
"White Tulip" is my favorite episode, almost entirely because of the beauty of that last image (not to take away from the awesomeness of its other elements. Peter Weller was wonderful). I had many, many, many things in my eye when Peter opened that envelope at the end of the series.
I liked the Brigitte Bardot/bag lady look she had going on in her flying nun scene.
Yeah, that was some very ouch-y karma.
To me the stains looked like bruises, and I thought she'd been smothered. Suicide makes more sense, though.
My favorite so far, but the "No, to go to medical school" should be in all caps.
SF is best; expecting people who don't live in the Bay Area to call it the City (even though it TOTALLY IS) is maybe a little presumptuous.

She must be so pleased to have cornered the lady-trying-to-talk-serial-killer-out-of-skinning-her niche. Always a place for her in Hollywood!
