"Yes, I'm aware that medieval times were not as brutal and rapey as Martin/Benioff-Weiss have portrayed them"

No I did not describe a C-Section. I described the murder of pregnant women by rapists and killers, opening the belly with a knife or any cold weapon weeks or months before the baby is ready to be born. This happens in Africa today, and used to happen in other places also including Europe - it was a common feature of

I would add Littlefinger and Varys. So that's 8. Maybe not Sansa, so 7.

But who says the storyline is over. He seems to have a large family and the Martells seem to be into the revenge thing, so I guess it just started their involvement with the story and not finished it.

Season 2 was the best and season 3 was horrible so that does not work.

I can't understand what "White Bear" is doing here. It was by far the worst Black Mirror episode in a series that had 2 other very good ones.
I voted for PoI - Deux Ex Machina.

Actually the religion of the Seven is based on Catholicism, and the Lord of Light religion is based on Zoroastrianism, the former religion of Iran before Islam.

This movie is awful. Like most Besson's movies.
This is really funny, Besson is a French moviemaker so as Americans you convinced yourselves that it must be edgy, arty, whatever.
Besson mostly does trash. In France he is seen as someone who makes bad American-like movies. He is popular with a certain audience, the

Exactly, and that's why the first movie was a success and a generation marker. If you were a student in Europe at the time the movie is supposed to take place (end of the 90s, even if it's a 2002 movie) you could really identify. Europe "spoke" to (middle-class and up) young people, it seemed to represent a brighter

"It’s the best of the trilogy"

Me too, exactly it did not make any sense. I understand that they did not want to invent a written language and that even if they did it would not have worked for the audience but still it really killed the suspension of disbelief. Better to not use it at all.

All this discussion is pure craziness. Who cares if it was a rape or not or when it is consensual or not ? Is this a joke ? An entire village of people is slaughtered in the same episode and what bothers you is that a serial killer may have raped another serial killer (who happens to be his sister but we are so beyond

I hate vegans. I mean, I am Jewish, I keep Kosher so I should understand people who chose to not eat certain things for ethical reasons, and I do. I don't care what other people eat. The problem is, vegans do care what we eat and are constantly trying to proselyte and behave with this holier than you attitude. Fuck

Not criticizing a show but thinking that a show should serve as a mean to reeducate the mass and tell them how to think and behave. This is indeed pure fascism.

Of course, people are so stupid. And when TV depicts murder and genocide it tells them that's it ok also ? This is really fascism - thinking that people are little children and the anointed intellectuals who "know" are here to educate them.
I still dont understand why rape is worse than murder and genocide but, wait, I

Typical Reform Judaism nonsense, but logical since that's exactly how they present themselves - as a legitimate continuation of 19th century Judaism when in fact they are a complete break from tradition.
Christianity is not a sister religion to Judaism, first because "Judaism" is not a religion - not exactly -, and

None, that's the thing, everybody has the right to interpret the Tanakh as they want.

As a Jew I never understood why the Christians think they have a special right to say if our Scriptures, our tradition, our mythology and history, are rightly interpreted are not. This is our Book so fuck of and deal with your Gospels and however you call these other books.
