    It just felt very "kids these days" to me. With their lingo! And their texting! And their Internet!

    I feel strangely protective of her and Maisie Williams, so I sure hope so! To be fair, bad accent =/= bad performance, as I'm sure her experience working with Peter Dinklage taught her.

    Everything I read wasn't from this year, so I'll just pick my favorite: Middlesex! I always thought of it as some book a lot of people were assigned to read in high school, which didn't exactly raise the bar of expectations, but damn, what a touching, strange, delightful story.

    I hated the last chapter so much the whole book ended up leaving a sour taste in my mouth.

    I'm actually kind of baffled by Narcos inclusion. It's not that it was bad, per se, it was just sort of…blah.

    Fingers crossed this gets Crazy Ex-Girlfriend a second season!

    Weird, I had literally the exact same experience! I studied abroad for a semester in high school, and while I was away, my mother had started watching the show. A few months after I came back, season 4 was released on DVD, and I ended up just watching it with her. I didn't watch the rest of the series until we'd

    But then they don't seem to tell anyone they've got her. There's no mention of Northern lords at the wedding, and she's locked away in a tower. Also, if marrying Sansa is supposed to cement the loyalty of the Northern lords, blatantly abusing her might not be the best plan. (I realize this basically happened in the

    Why have the wedding happen at all though?

    "I have to go. Hannah's having a gay emergency with her gay dad."

    It's not an apt comparison regardless. The equivalent to hating all Muslims because of 9/11 would be hating all aliens because of the alien invasion. The equivalent to hating all superheroes because of the alien invasion would be, I don't know, maybe hating all cops because one accidentally shot a bystander in a shoot

    You realize they're adding this content, not replacing what they already have, right?

    Eh, I'd say there was some payoff, but would maintain that the storyline could have been a bit better developed along the way.

    I like Moss' performance, and I like the idea of the character, but her storyline was just so…blah. I'm not sure if it needed more screen time or less, but it was really hard to feel invested in what happened at all.

    She's definitely in the Peter Dinklage league of "Actors Who Manage to Give Good Performances Despite Mediocre Accents."
