While we all hate microtransactions, I’d say Valve is one of the few companies who does it the “moral” way:

This is how they always do it, though. Remember the season 1 camp? All the people on Hershel’s season 2 farm? The season 3 prisoners? Season 4 random Woodbury people?

On the zombies increasing, I feel like that line was supposed to have some more weight attached to it. I thought I saw the characters look troubled by the prospect of more zombies, and it made me wonder if maybe zombie populations are converging on this area, now that all other areas have been wiped clean.…

I actually really appreciate reviewers like RLM, who choose to make a quality, well-researched video a year later instead of rushing out a review to hit the topic while it’s “trending”. If there’s one deep limitation to the new Star Wars reviews, actually, it’s that I don’t think RLM waits long enough. The beauty of…

“It’s SELF-evident”

Agreed. I didn’t actually think that moment called for a kiss, especially given that Finn was asleep. If they’re going the romance route, then having Rey kiss an unconscious Finn would be tipping their hand way too early.

Does anyone else here think it’s possible that Fisk phoning Daredevil was just in Matt’s head again? Because you’re right, it’s improbably that he’d have a phone and security cameras, and then cut back to his next scene being him sitting at his dining table, in his empty room, being watched on camera again.

I actually think it’s a sign of progress to be able to show storylines WITHOUT worrying about race, if they aren’t racial issues. If anything, these “unpleasant racial storylines” are a byproduct of the fact that Daredevil has such diverse casting to begin with. And don’t forget, the first police officer to vouch for…

He was mentioned earlier this episode (or maybe late last episode). When Donovan (the lawyer) got a private conference with Fisk and explained that Felix had moved her to Barcelona.

1.) Even a guy with a satisfying home/social life would still be sensitive to status quo changes at his workplace - especially the loss of the guy he shared a desk clump with. This would be true of normal people, and Dwight.... isn’t normal. He loves his workplace, and he loves order, and both of these are getting…

Binging this show now (6 years later), and I’ve felt like it’s strong all the way through. Maybe my experience is different because I’m not waiting a week between episodes, and because it’s only been one week since Michael was in the show for me opposed to a distant, fond memory, but I think this show has remained…

I don’t even know if this discussion is still active, but I just saw this episode and I agree with LittleDeuceBigalowCoupe - Jim’s phone escapades felt horribly contrived:

I’d rather they have the original actor speak barely passable German, and I just pretend like he’s speaking normal German, than have some totally different guy doing the German voice.

I don’t know that they ever really say it, but the combination of male-pattern baldness Pam, Pam with a mustache in a couple flash-forward scenes, and the fact that they only ever refer to her as “Poovey” seems to attest to it. Maybe they wanted her to be male to better gel with the “1940's cop” aesthetic. Either way,…

A lot of the houses that are allied to the Boltons are still loyal Northerners (like the Manderlys, who, if I recall correctly, are still hanging onto Rickon in White Harbor). They just don’t actually have any Starks right now to pledge loyalty to (except for Jeyne Poole, who they think is Sansa Stark, and she’s…

My “Oh, come on!” moment in this season was when Danaerys straight up said to Jon “Okay, you win, I’ll help you fight the Walkers” to which Jon said “No, my lady, YOU win, I’ll bend the knee. The North will listen.” FFS, Jon.

Everyone always resists change of any kind, though. Some change is genuinely bad (Google Plus taking over Youtube), some is relatively benign (this Kinja switch seems pretty subtle, and switching over accounts was easy and painless), but one constant of any change is that people WILL grumble about it.

I liked the scene for the girls’ performances, but I totally agree it could have been written better. This was a man who many book readers assumed would be the last man standing, scheming his way onto the throne of a country he singlehandedly had a role in tearing apart. The scene would have been much stronger if they…

Agreed with lebkuchen, it was a great scene in isolation, but I also agree with most others in the thread that all the other stuff leading up to it could have been done better, if only because too much went unexplained.

I was actually pretty disappointed by the Clegane meetup: I get that the show is moving at a lightning pace, but it seems like a stretch to me that the Hound would see the Mountain for the first time, undead, and instead of batting an eyelash just basically taunt him.
