You’re not actually serious, right...? Like I said, literally the entirety of the first two episodes has been main characters sitting around talking. Have you not watched them? Yes, Davos and Gendry actually have jobs. Everyone else has been sitting down and engaging in conversations. And, like I also said, talking to…

This seems like a good example of an utterly useless news cycle. Journalist gets iced out of answers by Westbrook. Other journalist explicitly asks Kerr about it so he can write a story about Kerr’s anodyne response. Blogger sees article, writes new blog story about Kerr, when all Kerr did was make some pretty bland…

It occurs to me that the man leading the defense against the forces that bring people back from the dead is himself a man who was brought back from the dead. I wonder why that parallel hasn’t been addressed on the show...

I could not agree with you more. Just look to Saving Private Ryan if you want to see how to expertly enhance and expand upon the story during the “calm before the big battle storm” sequences. Most of the stuff that was happening in Ep. 2 was pretty meaningless, with a few exceptions, and it didn’t drive the story or…

Riiiiiggghhhhtttt...Tyrion, Jon, Sansa, Dany, Varys, et al, are all clearly too busy cooking, cleaning, and making their own weapons to talk to what is clearly the greatest sort of intelligence about their upcoming enemy in all of Westeros and who just so happens to literally be sitting in front of them with nothing…

The characters lack of curiosity about Bran’s magical powers has been utterly perplexing to me. Here’s this guy that CLEARLY has these incredible gifts, who is randomly spitting out information that he should not have any knowledge of, and yet nobody has thought “hey, maybe we should be talking this guy all the time…

I wholeheartedly agree about his Winterfell line. I thought that was the one (and probably only) only time they actually showed some depth and development for him in a very long time.

Yup. I agree with the author that the episodes are getting super heavy handed, and his redemption arc may be the most heavy handed of all. No actual development being shown- instead, they just show us him doing the things. It’s the quickest, most rushed way to show a character go from an utterly deplorable coward to a…

TOTAL nitpick, I know, but I always feel like we should say he reanimates the dead, not resurrects them. He’s not bringing them back to life after all.

Exactly my take. What are guys supposed to say/believe? “Ummm, yeah, we’ll try our best, but we ain’t winning the next one”? It’s ridiculous. It’s like when people freak out because some guy says he’s the best shooting guard/quarterback/tennis player/etc. If you don’t have confidence you’re not gonna make it as a pro…

For anyone who actually cares, the 76ers outscored the Nets by 10 in the 4th to come back and win the game by 4. Not sure why we can’t get that information in any of the multiple post-game updates, but whatever.

Virginia is For Lovers tees are soooooo stupid and yesterday, but Choose Pasta, Nike’s retro 90s tees, and vintage Lakers shirts are hip and cool? I have no idea how one is awesome and the other is mockworthy. I’ll stick with plain v-neck tees from J Crew or similar brands- I don’t expect anyone to call me a fashion…

I had a similar reaction when a friend told me that CT was still on Real Worlds-Road Rules Challenges, and after making fun of him for being a geriatric I discovered that he was, in fact, only a year older than I am :(

They’ve been getting better for a decade? Didn’t Gabe just write an article like 2 days ago about how shocked (SHOCKED!) he was that Portland was able to win a game and avoid being swept by OKC? If they’ve been getting for so long shouldn’t that have been less surprising to him?

IIRC, Sigourney Weaver was also the US narrator for Planet Earth. Odd not to have that mentioned here.

No mention of Sigourney Weaver narrating Planet Earth in the US?

Exactly. Not to mention saying the Knicks got rid of him because he’s too old. He’s 26 for chrissakes.

Calm down everyone. I hate Wilbon as much as anyone, and I live in the DC area, but he’s joking. I’m not sure we need to bend over backwards every time someone we hate makes a joke to find a way to be pissed off at them. Wilbon does plenty of actually horrible shit. Focus on that.

I feel like Gabe doesn’t have internet access when he writes his articles, so he just goes based off of feel and what he thinks he remembers. How else can you explain him saying a 26 year old was too old?
