Like or hate Hillary Clinton; at least she was studied and competent and prepared. Biden is just a fucking joke and an insult. Huge difference.

Having never been touched like that by a woman before, it was all he could do to prematurely eject her.

It seems to me that common sense dictates Prince Harry and family requires private travel for safety...

What’s up with this eating the rich thing? Don’t eat the rich! Humans are way too high calorie. Instead, use their heads as soccer balls. Fun for the whole neighborhood!

Do the richies want guillotines and a Reign of Terror? Because this is how you get guillotines and a Reign of Terror.

Plus she got the firm after Vinny retired.

I think people believe GRRM is better prepared to end the books than he actually is. I don’t mean he doesn’t have ideas or a plot point outline, but he’s branched out so far from his initial conceit and I’m not sure that he truly knows how to wrap it all up. Much like D&D, he said 7 books and now has to grapple with…

One of my favorite critics/commentators is Dan Murrell over at Screen Junkies/Fandom Entertainment and he summed it up really well for me: Benioff and Weiss never signed up to write the ending to A Song of Ice and Fire. When they began their initial work in 2006, they had every reason to believe that they would be…

I think I can safely say that’s one of the best posts I have ever seen on this site.  I doff my cap.

That’s very eloquent and reflects how I feel as well. This is one of the first GoT articles I’ve read since Sunday, because I liked the way it ended, for the most part, so I don’t want to read other people’s negativity.

I’ve read the “CIVILIZATION ENDING THREAT IS COMING” so many fucking times in high fantasy. It’s practically write-by-numbers at this point. I’d be lying if I didn’t tell you that I have spent the better part of the last couple years how this show was going to wrap up in a way that stayed true to GRRM’s attempts to…

You just can’t win in today’s world and fandom.

There’s an absurd quote going around by one of the Ds of D&D saying something like “themes are for eighth grade book reports.” I traced it to its source and it seems fabricated, but I really didn’t have to in order to come to that conclusion -- people who accuse the show of broader thematic and narrative inconsistency…

Jon’s parentage did not have “no impact” on anything. It didn’t ultimately matter for who sat on the throne which I suspect will be true of the books — his legitimacy, the viability of the annulment if it exists and his viability because he is a Targaryen will likely be debated more, but Jon being a Targaryen played…

Very well put. I certainly understand people venting a bit when their favorite shows go off the rails to some extent, but if you ask me GOT’s crime isn’t being horrible, but being a bit less than perfect, and that’s not cause for the vitriol that’s been aimed its way the last few months. First of all, as good a show…

1 million percent agreed. GOT surely stumbled some in the last two seasons, but it is still one of the crowning masterpieces in the history of television. Too many are missing the forest for a tree or two. 

I like your take.

This seems like a good place to meditate on something that I haven’t been able to find the right words to address: bitterness. I’ve tried before, and I’ll try again.

As a tireless defender of Man of Steel, agreed. (Don’t worry, people, I do think BvS and Justice were mostly garbage, calm down.)
