In the original script, it's "I thought Christmas only came once a year."

Red Zone.

Counterpoint: watching football is fun.

Let's also blame NBC for greenlighting The Apprentice while we're at it.

There are must-beards, but no must-aches. Mustaches are so creepy precisely because they do not occur naturally in nature. They must be shaped.

Would you then scream "I LOVE YOU JAMES!" over and over again before running off to a cabin for an orgy?

Bran likely can't produce heirs, though, and he's nowhere near as accomplished in battle.

I didn't get the sense that Catelyn was constantly arguing for the exact opposite of Ned Stark's policies in front of the other Northern lords.

Back when we thought the Dougie act would only take an episode or two to resolve, it seemed that Dougie drinking coffee or eating cherry pie would cause him to snap out of it and become Cooper again. That would have been a little stupid, but it would worked within the logic of the show.

Don't all of the law enforcement officials have some serious explaining to do about Bill Hastings' fate? A bunch of cops take a murder suspect out to a secluded area and his head just happens to explode. Even if they didn't care about Bill on a human level, I was surprised they didn't even address how bad that would…

Yeah, they were dead because Ramsay killed Roose and then Jon and Sansa won the Battle of the Bastards and retook Winterfell, but Arya didn't know about any of that. As far as she's concerned the Reek-era status quo is still in effect. So why not ride up north and kill the Boltons?

I'm also confused about why she didn't try to use her ninja skillz to slaughter the Boltons (who conspired with the Freys to arrange the Red Wedding and also stole Winterfell). Did she think she wasn't up to the task of defeating one Bolton after slaughtering 30 Freys? If so, why did she think it would be easier to…

Pre-2-med Innocent

You can expect the Secret Service to knock on your door any minute now.

So this is all about Affleck throwing an insufferable tantrum because none of the suits liked his Batscript, isn't it?

This is also exactly where I stopped reading the comic. For some reason it took me that long to realize that there was nowhere else for the story to go and Kirkman was just introducing new meat for the grinder and telling the same basic story over and over again.

I think Nolan just painted himself into a corner with the ending of TDK. There was no way to continue the story without spending a lot of screentime explaining how Bruce Wayne would become Batman again and regain the public trust after taking the fall for several murders. So we get an entire tedious first act to…

Our entire political system is now a reality show, where everyone who doesn't get a rose winds up in prison for treason.

There's nothing wrong with a 95 minute film in theory — many classics tell their story in about this amount of time. But for nearly every non-comedy that's been released in the last 20 years, a running time under 100 minutes is almost aways a red flag that the studio has butchered the director's original cut, which…

It seems weird that Stannis would have completely abandoned Dragonstone. We never see him actually lose it — he retreats there after Blackwater, then we see him begging for money in Essos, and then we see him with a new sellsword army north of the Wall. But there's never any battle at Dragonstone to imply he lost it.
