Small amendment: getting killed again has been his apparent raison d'etre for the last few seasons. Whether it's by ice zombies, Ramsay's men, whatever, he's into it.

It's an open question what they spend their days actually doing, it's true. For one thing, the Slayer—the woman whom apparently their entire organization exists to Watch—lives in California and they're (almost) all in England.

I have no trouble believing that. His television/podcasting persona always struck me as a genuine extension of who he actually is, amped up for broadcasting and (just guessing) with a little of the white-knuckled positivity of the recovering alcoholic who's found the purpose in life that might help him leave it in the…

I've never played too much of Uncharted but the weirdly enormous bodycount always gave me a little cognitive dissonance on a purely thematic level. Indiana Jones wasn't afraid to kill a Nazi or an evil cultist if needs me, but I suspect those movies wouldn't be nearly as good if Raiders had a bigger bodycount than Robo…

Personally I think they both offer insightful criticism and interesting discussion, but I abhor their forays into "schtick" whether it's the interminable list of Ben's nicknames or the "Bartman" thing or what have you.

It's very strange. Leo was undeniably a beautiful young man, but he seems to have aged into the World's Oldest Boy. It's a little like fellow Pussy Posse alum Tobey "Tugboat" Maguire.

No offence but I don't think we want that much to do with you lot right now. You're pretty clearly going through some stuff and we don't really want to get involved, you know?

Watchmen is like a crash course in the importance of insightful direction. It's really astonishing: aside from the removal of the "alien" it's a slavish, almost shot-by-shot recreation of the graphic novel that somehow misses the actual point so completely that it somehow becomes its own inverse, a full negative image…

I don't have a stake in the slow vs fast zombies debate, but one definite advantage the latter have as a threat is that slow zombies are often forced to rely on a character doing something obviously stupid before they can get eaten alive.

Yeah, it's got Nick all over it.

Called it. They've been souring on the show for at least a year and the recent allegations of sexual misconduct / god alone knows really sealed the deal, as far as I could tell.

I see it as a blast-radius thing. If you're right at the epicentre of the blast, you're reduced to ash. If you're more toward the edges, you're merely on fire from head to toe.

Weirdly for a show full of prophecy and legendary beasts, Bronn is pretty OP. It's honestly a little silly he was able to load, wind, aim and fire a ballista, multiple times, all alone.

The fact that she was about a foot away and they honestly looked like they were about to start making out probably softened the blow a bit.

And I don't think he even knew that Bronn was down there too. Three of his favourite people in the world were trying to kill each other and (frankly) at least one of them should have succeeded.

I was thinking that too, although logistically it could prove to be a millstone. They'd have real problems moving it to, I guess, Casterly Rock—the Dothraki don't seem like they're big on wagon trains—and every moment they were creeping across the plains they'd be vulnerable to counterattack.

Saved by a last minute push from offscreen, no less. Barely better than someone yelling "NOOOOO!" and leaping in front of a bullet meant for him.

Nahhhh.

I liked that she took that big kick. It'd be a little too pat to make her effectively invincible in that scene to show how far she's come.

Nope. Very method, they are, on Game of Thrones. If one is on set the other must have a bag over his or her head. It's in their contract.
