Arya's going to have so much fun stabbing the shit out of littlefinger.

Was there this kind of backlash from the Jewish community about man in the high castle? I can understand black people's hesitancy with a white producing team making a show that's essentially the stormfront message board wet dream, but I'm also guessing there's a large contingent of the "woke" folks who are not down…

Seems like as soon as you throw "based on true events" out, this thing has no merit.

The Asuka/Nikki Cross Last Woman Standing Match is easily the best women's match that's been had in the last six months, at least.

"That is the hype video package full of painting and what I can only imagine someone backstage called “Oriental” music". It's ok Latoya, we know who you mean… doot doot doot

I keep hearing wrestling fans say they're into the Jinder thing, or even Strowman, because "it's something new and/or different". This, to me, is akin to folks who complained about the Sopranos because the show hadn't whacked anybody for a while. The dude who got clowned by Gronk at Mania being a worldbeater now (for…

Dumb/odious people are likely to say dumb/odious things. If the intent is to laugh at them then with them, then I don't really see any issue with the structure of the joke

The crux of the narrative arc for Season 5 was that Oliver had to discover that having a team around him made him a better hero, with the show beating us over the head with him needing everyone to be his rock and proving to Chase how wrong he was, that he wouldn't have to sacrifice his humanity anymore, and that he…

I liked Alasdair's take on this being a finale for this iteration of Arrow. Oliver had a clear emotional arc throughout the year, and the destruction of Lian Yu fits into it nicely. Shoehorning in the "which of our regular cast members won't be back next year (I'm guessing Willa Holland isn't long for the show much…

It's the evolution of TV as a medium that allows shows to tell self-contained arcs that resolve inside of a year. I'd rather have an emotionally earned ending that leaves characters in a different place then where they started than hang on the "OH CRAP CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHO DID OR DID NOT DIE IN OCTOBER".

My issue with the Flash was that we know we'll get back to the status quo really fast next year with Barry out of the speed force. And, considering that the things Barry learns from his mistakes are immediately ignored based on storytelling requirements, I don't have great faith about the story progressing in a…

Malcolm enveloped him in his sphere of unkillability

The need for the cliffhanger across all the arrowverse seems patently absurd. I understand "leave them with something to talk about", but the cliffhangers in Legends/Flash/Supergirl/Arrow all seem like artificial points to cut off the narrative for the sole purpose of facilitating lazy storytelling. At least one could…

When in doubt, trust the writers of the flash to take the most nonsensical way out.

I mean, why should it? To her mind, she's tried to do her best for the American people, and they spit in her face every chance they could have. I sort of like a Selina so put out by her own inadequacies and general idiocy of her staff that she's abandoned all pretense of being in this for anything other than herself.…

Pete Rose was a comedy bit every time he was on, and Stewart screwing Cena serviced Rollins as the chickenshit heel. There's a reason Mahal got served up to Gronk on multiple nights, because he was the person in the back with the least amount of heat that getting made to look a fool wouldn't hurt them. His last match…

I mean, if we're trying to goose international numbers with a guy who jobbing for Gronk two months ago now as world champ, I think we can safely say SDL is now unequivocally the B show.

The thing I'm finding odd about Deray's podcasts is he weirdly is asking his policy guests explanations for things he should know as part of his show prep. I get that he's no policy expert, but as the host and interviewer you need to steer the conversation. "Where does my tax money go" and "what's medicaid" are things…

Unless he's bringing in a sizeable audience by himself, the demographics of liberal leaning podcast listeners is going to skew heavily towards people who know the difference between Medicare and medicaid. It's a style choice, and I'll keep listening for now, but I don't need a remedial civics lesson I watched the…

Raw had spent the run up time to Payback forgetting that Lesnar even existed. It's only been in the last few weeks that they remembered that he had the biggest title on Raw (which by default is the biggest title in the company). If Orton is tearing the house down in a world title program with somebody of note, it…
