@avclub-2ba01cc9a353550362c10a24f8404270:disqus So the man is supposed to be assertive, only to get condemned ???!?

I went to school around the time of that "incident," and I can safely say that 90% of the article is bullshit. I found it pretty entertaining, the school administrators did not. Served them right for allowing a VF journalist to sniff around campus, though.

No, dude. This doesn't affect you and never well. So YOU shut up.

" Making the Yunkai a mixed crowd with all ethnicities from our world? That would have been ridiculous. And yes, even insulting."

@avclub-27b02d470d73caf281625e984e633cd4:disqus Cool, only find me a portrayal of this scenario in the media with these races actually reversed in any way. Then we'll talk.

This is actually one of the few recaps that doesn't talk about how uncomfortable the last image is.

And of course, a white dude doesn't find a problem with the image….

But that dude's already dead, and the awesome words with him.

I think he means this is replacing the Tickler scene, though, which was its chronological match in the book and took place right after RW.

If anything, Martin probably regrets that he didn't have her killed off. I'm pretty sure the main reason they did so is because book readers tend to speculate over whether she was pregnant or not at the time of the RW, and this is a pretty decisive F U to those readers.

@Kumagoro:disqus Dude, what she did was awful and wrong, but I can see myself doing the exact same thing in her situation. She's fucking desperate. As far as she know, Robb is her last and only child left and she's willing to scorch the earth to get him to safety. She offers herself as a hostage, she tries to bargain…

She did it to save him. Like, "whoops, yeah, I shot him, but at least he's dead right? Now let's just put this behind us….."

Tony Wonder, as explained by the narrator and his presence at the wedding.

A gay friend of mine LOVES Ender's Game. She was the one who introduced it to me, and she recently said that she wants to boycott the movie in light of Card's remarks, but we still really want to see the movie. So we're going to sneak into a screening of Ender's Game by paying for a different movie when it comes out…

@avclub-a43012a332fc066e7ecf57a9b678fb51:disqus Some film critic who made calculations found that the average age of Best Actor winners/nominees dwarfs the average age of Best Actress winners/nominees by like, 15 years. There are simply juicier roles for actors than there are for actresses, which is why sometimes they…

It's more that he's obsessed with the idea of her than he actually is with her. She represents everything he desires—wealth, glamor, that indescribable and untouchable element of class that continually eludes him even when he becomes wealthy. I mean, yeah, he fancies that she's obsessed with him as well, but that's…

@Scrawler2:disqus You shut your damn mouth about Wuthering Heights!

I loved this episode a lot. Only a single showy setpiece (the Beric/Hound fight) and the rest strung up by little more than moments of simmering tension, memory, and genuine sadness. It was the best character showcase yet. I've often complained that the GoT writers don't trust their audience to sit still and listen…

@avclub-e57f718840a576abbb40a7d046c4e3b0:disqus But I think you'd really enjoy that one episode where Tracy Jordan is ironically reappropriating his own bad past behavior as a comment on Fitzgerald's dictum that there are no second acts in America. You could even take a picture with your old-fashioned camera.

Perhaps this is most evident when watching her last few films? I've only seen K19, Hurt Locker and ZDT and that's what came up in my head as I left the theater after ZDT. It's all these characters' weird psychological relationships with violence and tendency to go to the extremes.
