Yeah, but there are certainly moments that are designed specifically to be funny and it's not unfair to complain if they fall flat.

I disagree with quite a bit here. I think it's a damn shame that shallow, looks-based sexism and blunt hyperbole have been so overwhelming in the criticism for this show, because it's prompted what feels like a knee-jerk protectiveness among quite a few critics and, I notice, a lot of the forum posters (at least here…

Jessica, despite her outward badassery, continues to behave like the 17-year-old I guess she still is. She's going through a slutty popular girl phase. Which will probably be boring to those of us who don't really care about seeing her naked except for where it intersects with Ryan Kwanten being naked.

It would've been awesome if Tara hadn't done the *exact same thing* at the end of what, the third season?

Okay, this is going to sound awful, but if you're going to use up your rape-is-funny-when-it-happens-to-a-man card, why waste it on the unbelievably stupid, boring, gross, and dour were-panther plot? Why not waste it on a quick Newlin-Stackhouse makeout session??

I think in a lot of ways Tyrion is the lead of this show. He's actually had a pretty comprehensive arc so far - from loveable fuckup scamp to political player to overt hero and now potentially relying only on his wits as he goes on the run. And Dinklage has played the shit out of everything.

I'm excited. Another show I've never seen covered by the incomparable Donna. And this time, I don't have to rush through four whole seasons inside of two weeks in order to catch up!

Wow, I don't even know you, Chartex, but I do remember you telling an anecdote about your twins when they were still infants. Weird how much time passes on these boards. Good luck finding a solution to the block and if not we've lost a hell of a commenter!

Nathan I wish we were interning together! I have such an internet crush on you. But on the plus side I managed to post a treatise on every NewsRadio review and sift through the thousands of Arrested Development comments easily while working 8 hours a day last summer. So don't lose hope!
