Yes I think an intelligent, impassioned, well-reasoned anything is worth reading. Even if there's a show I love that I accept is having some problems, reading an intelligent critique of those problems teaches me something - even if it hurts a bit to read. It shows me what I'm happy to overlook and maybe even why. It…

I like liking things too. But it does feel like I'm in a minority on that some days.

Eh, it worked for me because the points in the books where you're focused on one great storyline are usually the points where I wish there weren't all the other characters. Like getting to the end of a Tyrion chapter and you start to dread turning the page in case you're going to have to pretend to care about Stannis…

I have not watched the episode yet, but I was impressed by how much Ryan's opinion echoes mine of the books, as far as getting fed up with disparate storylines goes. So I don't think he's at all wrong to criticise that if it gives him problems watching - but then, obviously other people have far more tolerance for…

Yeah, for my money it's real but it probably doesn't do exactly what it says on the tin. Translations are tricky, and the fact that Angel is indeed turned into a human either once or twice depending if you count the comics - and fights it both times - plus the fact there's two vampires with souls and presumably could…

Have to say, I love Mad Men but have avoided ever picking up The Sopranos because everything I've ever read about it tells me I would hate its characters for exactly the reasons described by @avclub-f6f154417c4665861583f9b9c4afafa2:disqus . The best shows, for me, definitely include people capable of greatness, on top…

Either that or he's a devil grinning evilly.

I may have told this anecdote before (well, I know I have if you've been reading the REM retrospective in the music section), but after finishing NFA at about 2am I got up after 4 hours' sleep to spend the weekend at the Isle of Wight festival, which I mostly now just remember as a haze of sunshine and cider and…

I got the impression it meant something to him that redemption was possible. Like someone, somewhere, was validating his choice to keep on fighting in an attempt to redress the balance. And that's why it felt absolutely right for him to sign away the prophecy - actually being human wasn't what mattered to him (as we…
