I’m very sorry to hear about your friend, but that doesn’t excuse the fact that you’re still missing the point, dude.

Maybe you should listen to what women are saying instead of being patronising and dismissive? I mean, you said it in a “nice” way, but you basically said “oh, that’s just your problem” instead of recognising that it’s not just a “me” issue, it’s a systemic societal issue. Just because this is not an experience that…

I snorted at that line XD

And Maester Whatshisfuck that hovers behind Bran in the great hall.

I don’t think your read about Toxic Rick caring about Morty is quite the same as mine. I took out that he cares more about having Morty and not letting someone else take him away than he actually cares *for* Morty. It’s an abusive need to possess and dominate, and have a witness for his amazing…

Hell, sometimes when I click a star, it *subtracts* from the total number of stars. Fucking omnishambles.

Ethan was a total scumbag. It’s only an overreaction if you’ve never been on the Summer end of it. Most womens’ body issues, and their lowered self-esteem as a result (by virtue of being constantly objectified and socialised to believe that our appearance is our defining, and most important characteristic) is a direct…

There absolutely are, no question... but it’s the same attitude and entitlement behind it, no matter how the behaviour manifests.

SHOW ME WHAT YOU GOT!

Re: Rick’s intelligence, I thought of it very much as you’ve teased out above: as being so central to his identity that it would *have* to carry over. Consider how much he, and the entire Council of Ricks, hate Doofus Rick so much. They barely even consider him a Rick, even though it’s shown by his ovenless brownies…

I need to take a minute to commend this comment section on its analyses of the characters’ deeper motivations and thematic undertones. I enjoy every episode at surface-level, but I enjoy them even more after reading the comments here.

It’s simultaneously the best and worst the show’s ever, ever been.

You should not need an “after segment” to explain something that happened in the show. Everyone else in the world who didn’t watch it on HBO and/or live did not get that after segment. If you can’t make the motivations and story threads clear in-episode, that is a failure of writing.

Littlefinger made one slip - “I did it to protect you.” That’s a confession.

I agree with this read, totally, I just wish that their setup had led to some new piece of information or caught him in the act of planning something new against the Lords of the Vale or North or something. They went along with this entire ruse in order to put him on trial for shit they already knew? Why bother?

Hell, Jon keeps failing upwards, so it makes sense that his nemesis would too.

Game of Thrones is simultaneously the absolute best and worst it’s ever been. The problem is that what you call the “nothing” in between, I call character motivations. It’s the entire reason that the Arya/Sansa plot didn’t make a damn bit of sense, despite having an awesome conclusion. We need to understand why…

My main problem is with the homepage, and how I can’t see all the most recent TV reviews & grades at a glance anymore. Finding things in the infiniscroll just isn’t gonna happen for me.

Yeah, it’s REALLY hard to find the articles you’re looking for. I used to like the TV Club homepage with links to all the most recent reviews in one place with their grades so you could see everything at a glance. Now I have to infiniscroll to find the review I’m looking for amongst all the other shit? No thanks.

I feel like they’ve shown in recent weeks that Sansa was seriously done with Littlefinger’s bullshit. I think she’s had him pegged for ages. Just look at Turner’s delivery in this conversation:
