The spacing/punctuation around the Rs means that it would be pretty easy to have a number of "GRRM" accounts.

I know he means that this is replacing the Tickler scene, but the implication is that we're not getting that scene, and I'm fairly sure we WILL get that scene next season (with Polliver instead of the Tickler). He seems to be lamenting its absence… but it's just been pushed back.

"I loved that Arya scene as a self-contained unit, but it’s basically an
homage to a moment in the book that couldn’t be done because the
character she killed in that scene is already dead in the world of the
series. So while it’s a good scene in and of itself—and Maisie Williams
is tremendous and weirdly creepy in…

The fact that Dexter gets a mention over Game of Thrones in terms of anticipated television wounds me.

Here's taking things "too literally":
Well, she said "faith", and it's inappropriate to approach a faith-based argument on grounds of pure logic. She's entitled to her religious beliefs!

Some people have higher standards for "faith in humanity" than "every person in the world isn't horrible."

How is isjoe10 "taking everything literally"? Did he interpret "fuck off" to mean "go have sex away from me" or something like that? I don't think the word "literally" means what you think it means.

He didn't even say he didn't like the job. He just said the work didn't mean anything to him personally. He went in, did some voice work, but wasn't especially invested in the artistic process. I really don't see the big deal with what Weaving said.

The word in the section you quoted is "expected". You replaced that with "obscure". In this context, those two words mean almost opposite things. The review isn't suggesting they're obscure; it's acknowledging them as tropes. You should probably try reading before you criticize next time. :S
