It never fails to make me laugh when the whole "white as default" concept is challenged, and then people get all uppity because that's "always making it about race."

Because everything, including TV shows based on source material that was written years and years ago, like the whole Sparrow storyline, has to be about current America. Jesus, what is it with Americans vanishing up their own ass?

Growing up with that billionaire money and then making that Seinfeld money certainly doesn't hurt.

That man's obsessed with me.

I gather it's because of all the things you listed, "fireproof Dany" was one of the few magical aspects of this world that GRRM expressed a more or less definitive opinion about. *shrug*

That boy ain't right, I'll tell you hwhat. Although being breastfed by a crazy woman until you're 9 and having "throwing people through the moon door" as your main amusement are sure to mess up anyone.

For those exact reasons you give, we all need to realize that High Sparrow is playing the Game just like everyone else. It's all about power, and getting hold of the teeming masses via religion just happens to be his route.

Lady Olenna, more like Shady Olenna amirite?

Well, the whole point of Daenerys' arc is that she has a claim to the throne via bloodlines, and her trials and tribulations (eg. being sold off to the Dothraki) are just bumps on the road to her "royal destiny".

Although given their penchant for brawling and drinking, you'd think they'd have figured out a better system by now than "let's put pools of easily knocked over, flaming oil in a giant tinderbox where we hold our most important meetings".

Poor Tommen. He's the gentle king that a peaceful Westeros deserves, but not the king that current Westeros needs right now.

Eh, she probably has high STR to handle the dragons, but she doesn't need a lot of DEX and CON to walk regally out of burning buildings. INT is probably average too.

Laugh track sitcoms (except for maybe Golden Girls) are so dated anyways- if I had to watch Seinfeld reruns I'd probably be bored to tears.

Eh, I disagree. I think the idea that someone can develop a talent as a songwriter and be acknowledged/paid for it is pretty cool. It's basically the modern iteration of being a well-known poet (I mean poets still exist obviously, but that job has become more rarefied.)

'Hate' is maybe a strong word for this one, but I found the 'army only' campaigns in RTS games (like AoE, Starcraft, Warcraft) to be boring. Those are basically levels where you only have access to one-half of the game's features, and the map structure always tends to be very contrived to compensate. So you kinda rush…

I thought Amadeus was really overrated. The moments were Salieri first realizes who Mozart is and when Mozart shows his genius are entertaining, but the actual plot is messy and overlong. Cutting an hour+ of fat from that movie would have done it wonders.

The only character I consistently enjoyed and got laughs from was Phoebe.

I see where you're coming from, it definitely seems like a ploy to get at the young adult nostalgia market sometimes.

I mean, if you really want you can respond to 99% of AV Club discussions with "no one cares if you love/hate X, good night." If you don't like the topic of a particular thread, just, you know, move on.

Coming from a (not crazy) Firefly fan:
