Even if that's true, they should've put a much better fight given they had Highgarden. But it was incredibly quick and easy.

Even though I enjoyed the episode overall and understand the need to streamline as much as possible in order to focus on the meatier stuff, I find it hard to deny that the way the writers got rid of the Martell and Tyrell armies has been very poor. It hasn't been neither logical nor satisfying. The largest army in…
Not to mention she killed what was left of her lover's family, which is pretty crappy as far as ways of honoring his memory go.
One of the teasers clearly shows Cooper driving a car (with clear eyes and short hair, so it's not the doppelgänger). He'll show up sooner or later.
I still have faith in GRRM doing something surprising with Young Griff.
He'll show up again (we already had him say three lines in Parts 1 through 3), just much, much later than most people werre expecting before the series premiered.
Thanks for your work over the years, Alasdair. I've always enjoyed reading your reviews of this wonderful show.
The previous comments have talked at length about most of the stuff that "happened" on this episode, so I'll stay silent regarding the mushroom cloud , the murderous Woodsman and the frogbug thingie. I will, however, pose a question related to Evil Cooper. I watched the show late last night and woke up this morning to…
I don't think Andy is crooked. It seemed to me he was simply looking into Richard's hit-and-run.
I have to commend Myles once again for his reviews, they provided some much-needed clarity and perspective amidst the chaos of the myriad subplots and characters. I must concur with his (and apparently, the majority of the commenters') assessment that this was the weakest and most uneven season so far. The riot as a…
A very fitting and satisfying (if imperfect) finale. I was very worried Jack wouldn't return to his own time and would instead be content with defeating Aku in the future. I think that would've been a disservice to Jack's entire arc. The way they got around the destruction of all the time portals (having Ashi use…
Even though I'm not the biggest fan of the decision (Jack's a seventy-something year old and Ashi's in her twenties, so it's a bit creepy) and I preferred him remaining alone, I still think it was tastefully handled by Tartakovsky.
Bad news. I was disappointed by the choosing of Trevorrow as director of Episode IX, but I thought "well, at least Rian Johnson is writing the treatment".Now that we know that's not the case, I'm a bit more scared. I had a good time with Jurassic World but nothing in that film was particularly special or memorable,…
Well, that was…utterly unexpected. But I welcome it with open arms. Rebels has been (somewhat fairly) criticized for coasting on cameos from popular Star Wars characters in order to draw out viewers instead of telling the story of the Ghost crew, and this serves as a correction of sorts. A full-scale confrontation…
Trump's numerous tweets regarding the show suggest he cares quite a bit about it.
I'm not the crying kind of guy, but seeing Norma cradling Soso and singing to her broke me. It was a tense, tragic and utterly brutal finale to a great season, and I can't wait to see the cliffhanger resolved. About 350 days… :(
While I agree the show is really hit-and-miss, I do like the core cast (save for Chopper). I find Ezra, Kanan, Hera, Sabine and Zeb pretty engaging, they have distinctive backstories and personalities. Hopefully Season 3 can be more consistent in its output.
WAC-47 is so mind-numbingly annoying it makes Jar-Jar and Choper come across as deep, relatable characters.
I think Han's interactions with Leia and his struggle with what happened to his son add a lot of character to him. I thought he was much better developed in this film than in Episode VI. As for the others, I got a lot from the dialogue and the performances to buy them as fleshed-out characters, and I don't need to…
I respectfully disagree. I have my fair share of problems with the film, but I think the character work was fantastic. I did see a lot of Rey, Finn and Kylo's personality during the course of the movie (not so much with Poe). I have a pretty good idea of who they are, and I got that through the actor's performances…
