There's a phenomenon in writing for teams of heroes that I call 'Boring Lead Syndrome'. The nominal leaders of the team are always the most boring characters. 
Buffy from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Cyclops from the X-Men, and Captain Kirk from Star Trek are just three off the top of my head (the latter two are also

Was anyone else disappointed in Marisa Wompler's return to Comedy Bang Bang? Wompler's one of their best characters, but she took a back seat to the unfocused yes and-ing tangents of Lennon Parham's character. And now there's this huge, awkward backstory that they're stuck with for any future appearances (the same

But what did Troy's fake text to Britta say?! WHAT DID IT SAY?!! WHAT'S IN THE TEXT?!!

Wait. Is that Twilight slashfic thing real? Did a professional publisher actually pick up some internet fanfic and put it out as a published manuscript?

If you're not winning pageants, just remember it's because you're a worthless human being and a fat cow.

Hey, Logo, you're not helping when you do shit like this. The religious bigots twist crap like this all the time as "evidence" that gays are scary pedophiles who prey on your children. If you don't care that you're being despicable, at least stop giving the fundies ammunition.

That reality game show from a few years ago about 10 year olds left to run an old ghost town by themselves was met with more controversy and was basically shut down over concerns of child endangerment/exploitation. But this is getting a pass.

WHAT THE FUCK?

I too am a socially awkward penguin with weak hand eye control. I also don't particularly care for shooters.

There's little reason for anyone to go there.
FTFY.

Music nerdout. That wasn't a particularly dour version of the 9th. It's just an early section of the movement, before it builds to the crescendo that everyone recognizes.

I don't think Peggy or Ken are particularly interested in leaving. It's just that the SCDP raft is pretty rickety. So they've always got an eye out for an emergency exit. That's what their deal was about in the first place.

Literature!

Best part of that scene was Don's almost invisible shake of his head when Pete says that.

I take it that this is the episode that will be submitted for all the 'Best Editing' awards. With all of the dissolves, fades and smash cuts, it reads as an editor's reel.

I'm pretty sure Shae's going to get herself in trouble with all her whining and ambition. I can already see Varys exploiting her somehow to get at Tyrion.

I don't even know who the fuck that is LOL.

My favorite visual gag of the episode: Linda's makeshift duct tape seat belts includes binding Gene's hands together.

Don't know. ME3 is the first mp game I've ever played. But I will say that with every other Bioware RPG, after finishing I've always gone right back and played it through again to do the opposite of my first playthrough. A month later, and I still haven't done it because I've only played mp.

Mass Effect 3 multiplayer. And nothing else.
