And when he yells 'don't tell me what i can't do' at her, like locke… man, this show. for all its flaws, it still resonates. i just binge watched the entire first season and it's the characters and their interactions that make this show so fucking good, even now, even knowing the loopholes and the flaws.

some outraged fans are doing *gasp* worse. they're the guys who make loads of lists on 'who would be the ultimate fighter in westeros??!!'

strangely, 'reek reek my name is reek' works. though 'she's fucking lancel and moonbottom' is as grating as WAALLTThhh (he used to gasp out the hhhs at the end. also, i'm drunk.).

we now know the producers don't have any plans of bringing LS in.

some say show jaime wouldn't care. i disagree.

considering D&D are getting into dicey territory with affc and adwd, with twow nowhere in sight, i can buy they might be critical. they've exhausted several character arcs already, like sansa (nothing much happens except for SPOILER hardying and the trek downward) and bran (visions for the entire next season?)SPOILER,…

i hope. dearly.

does this indicate the two never meet again in-book? the parting with animosity sets up a conflict, and if they don't meet again (jaime gets killed by stoneheart or something) then it makes sense to do away with it. also, SPOILER DWD! tyrion comes around about jaime towards the end, doesn't he? admits to himself he…

i don't mind penny. i think tyrion needed that reality check re dwarve life: westeros edition!

it's definitely great. but it's boring as fuck. i mean this sincerely. sometimes character development/regression is dull in real life. hell, it usually is.

actually yes, i do. having read various reviews of different genres by him, i can safely say he prefers others over fantasy. he does the opposite when reviewing girls, for instance: makes excuses for the shitty stuff, overpraises the average, and faints with bliss over the truly good. here, it's reluctant praise at…

I wish someone else would review GoT; sick of Todd's tepid, forced enthusiasm that inevitably declines into bitching about the exact elements that make this an interesting series for me. Seriously, it's as though he's started every single review this season by throwing out some weak praise and then inserting a…

he looked like he was coked up. hence the weird jaw twist thing.

kinda does.

i re-read his scenes at the wall at the end of asos and he has some epic lines, especially directed to janos slynt. if they don't use them, i shall fail to see why.

yeah, i see that frequently, the tendency to equate bad-assedness with tomboys/girls acting like boys. it's bull. look to cat and her 'woman's strength'. i think she was more bad ass than any one.

that would suck beyond belief. it's seemed obvious that shireen has a role to play in the future in-book, which is why they've made her more prominent in show. but not to this end! NOOOOOOO!!!! seriously though, i hope she doesn't end up on mel's altar.

parties are so mainstream, yo.

yeah, i tried those and couldn't do it. the prose was godawful. turgid and pretentious and indulgent. it felt like the author was on some sort of quest to prove his superior intellect to his audience.

OT, but i continue to be baffled at the choice of 'adnan' as a female name. it's like calling a woman 'john'.
