I imagine redditors invading would look something like the army of the dead pouring over the walls of Hardhome…

Jeff is still putting out music under his own name and his 2015 album "We Cool?" is fantastic. Definitely one of my favorites of the year so far.

First impression is this is a little overlong with some stuff that feels like filler - but goddamnit if there isn't a lot of amazing moments that are right up there with the highs of the Monitor too. This one is going to take some time to digest.

The other nights watch brother are mad at Jon for "sleeping with the enemy" not for breaking his vows.

"Night gathers, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death. I shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children. I shall wear no crowns and win no glory. I shall live and die at my post. I am the sword in the darkness. I am the watcher on the walls. I am the shield that guards the realms of men. I…

Yeah I did, did you? The only shows that get away with this type of material are the premium channels like HBO… where GoT is shown. If this show was being done on cable or as a movie this scene would have never been included along with 90% of the show. Due to the economic effect of our ratings system, this type of…

How is an act that happens off camera and conveyed to the audience by looking at another character's face "as lurid as possible". If anything, the portrayal was tame.

Trigger warnings are an extremely slippery slope. I'd argue they are a form of soft censorship much like an NC-17 rating - We have already seen numerous films over the years cut back on content due to pressure from executives who need the film to be rated R in order to make money. This sort of system prevents film/TV…

That's pretty ridiculously speculative and off base:

Vacuous entertainment has become so the norm that people seem unable to confront difficult issues through art any more. They'd rather just pretend problems don't exist and not see them.

The answer to sexual violence is not to pretend it doesn't exist. Plugging our collective ears and yelling "LALALALALA" doesn't fix the issue that rape is still a problem in our culture and definitely a problem in the GoT universe. The show depicts a very ugly vision of humanity and it seems the critics, unfortunately…

Natalie Dormer is but I believe Margaery is supposed to be around 19 and Tommen is like 15/16.

"Hold no Guns" is particularly guilty of this. C'mon, Gibbard. I expect better than rhyming run and gun from you…

Hate to say it but I think Ben Gibbard is over the hill. Codes and Keys felt lazy and this one is just registering as generic on early listens.

Man, I really miss Land of Talk. I saw them open for Broken Social Scene back in 2008 (I think) and the frontwoman also did double duty playing with BSS as well. She nailed Feist's parts surprisingly well. I'm not sure what happened to the band but I remember reading she had to have vocal chord surgery so it may just…

Liked it better today but I don't care at all for the jazz turn he has taken. There isn't a single track here I would show to someone to introduce them to Kendrick… its all so abrasive and weird. I appreciate the narrative/lyrics but this album just lacks the melodies that made GKMC palatable.

Am I the only one not liking this at all so far? Loved good kid and section 80 but this one just seems tuneless and intentionally obtuse. I don't think I actually enjoyed any tracks other than "King Kunta" and "Blacker the Berry" on my first full listen…

All the good band names have been taken for years, man. Seriously, try coming up with a band name and then googling it. It exists. You could type almost anything.

Totally agree. I loved both Visiter and No Color but Time to Die and Carrier did nothing for me.

As an adequate-nothing-special drummer, this really isn't impressive. Any competent drummer could do this unless they like obese or something…
