I think you’re conflating a bleak outcome with a badly executed one. I think the point people repeatedly keep making about Game of Thrones’s ending is they didn’t care if they didn’t get a happy ending for a lot of characters (if anything, they thought that would be out of character for the show) or even all of them…

My sympathy at this point lies with his editors. There is nothing more frustrating and unprofessional to an editor than a writer who won’t deliver pages. Yes, the creative process can take time, but at this point, it’s beyond that for GRRM. It’s not just that he’s a ponderously slow writer (which he is). He’s clearly…

Moffat and Gatiss said from Day One that they weren’t going with Holmes/Watson in their adaptation and the fandom spent every minute after making up evidence that they were lying so that only the True Believers would be ready for the big reveal. The fandom baited itself. Because they were insane.

I’m also willing to give him the benefit of the doubt since the Sherlock fandom was fucking CLINICALLY INSANE about that ship, and Moffat basically dropped it all on Freeman and Cumberbatch with the amount of queerbaiting written into the series. The only show to ever rival that hysteria was Supernatural.

He was actually really good in that one episode of Luke Cage Season 2.

I totally understand that you think $300k isn’t much for a home. It’s nothing where I currently live (Eugene, OR) right now either. It is, however, an absolutely ENORMOUS amount of money for a home in a little redneck town in Ohio that had 1 stoplight and 1 sheriff and 1 fire truck manned by volunteers who are mostly…

Chappelle’s claim that the town council was trying to making him “audition” is the kind of smug peevishness that seems to characterize his personality these days.  By “audition,” he meant that the town council did not automatically give him what he wanted, and instead treated him like he was one of many citizens of…

That exact same argument has been used for decades (if not centuries) to keep out some “undesired” class, whether it be Blacks, Jews, or poor people. It’s a bullshit argument. Aesthetics are not more important than people.

When people oppose affordable housing, they often do it for reasons other than distaste for poorer people. Instead, they raise the kinds of concerns Chappelle is voicing here: the development is not consistent with the character of the neighborhood, or it won’t be aesthetically pleasing, or it will increase traffic,…

If we want to be realistic here, it’s pretty certain that when whichever party owns the White House/Congress comes up with the plan to destroy the dinosaurs, the other will set up legislative roadblocks. I mean, I can just see Ted Cruz filibustering on why a velociraptor eating a small child is just an expression of…

I’ve got a lot of issues with Solo, but I’ll just say this: The director swap-out deprived us of seeing Michael K. Williams play a Star Wars villain and I will never forget that.

They clearly have interstellar travel, since there are immigrants from Pizza Planet living and working on Earth.

When the first trailer came out, someone from cast or crew mis-explained it as “A movie about the real astronaut that the Buzz Lightyear toys are based on” which created much confusion.

And everyone gets mad when you point out she was also really fucking inbred

Continuity in the Poirot Cinematic Universe is about par with 616 Marvel Comics Universe.

I refuse to believe Maeve can't get over a guy.

So it takes a while for Hammer to start chomping down on the rest of the cast? Lame. What's even the point of casting a cannibal?

I agree. Elektra was one of the bright spots of this season for me—and I liked this season a lot. I didn't see her demand to see Matt kill someone out of character for her. Even without knowing what you know later (no spoilers), I was never taken aback by that moment, and it fit in with the overall theme of murder…
