His obsession with gold reminds me of Tywin Lannister. If only Donnie could share his fate.

Taylor Swift is a textbook white feminist and she brought this on herself.
Science is my life and passion. Seeing this administration go out of its way to tamper with it is so...
The race between Harvey Weinstein, Roy Moore, and our dear President Dump as worst garbage of 2017 heats up, even in its final weeks.
I say the quality dropped hard like Bran from the tower after the fourth season.
I’ve noticed it when I read AVC on my phone but that’s it.
Pointing something out isn’t the same as dismissing it. Gwen’s tone sounds like a resigned acceptance of this tradition.
It is very difficult to determine consent in that scenario in that time period. You are so confident that these women “chose” to have sex with the Englishmen. But what if there were some unspoken (or even spoken) expectation that they entertain these colonizers by any means? What if their sexuality is not their own to…
I felt the same about that scene but I excused it by assuming the reporter knew her “charm” had awarded her enough goodwill to keep him talking and hopefully say something that is caught in the recording.
The women are the ones initiating, but why? The fact that their degree of interest or consent can be debated at all just goes to show that the series did not do a good job depicting these socially unbalanced affairs from the perspective of the colonial women. As Caroline rightly pointed out, why does the waitress from…
The Golden Globes TV division: Let’s nominate the most talked about shows plus something from Amazon.
Claire Foy doesn’t need words to act her face off.
I’ve been against this merger the whole time for these same reasons. I love Disney more than most (I still love the Kingdom Hearts franchise) but do you really want them anywhere near some of the best adult-oriented scripted programming in Peak TV? What if Atlanta is banned from using the N-word and other swear words?…
Their final confrontation was brutal. Dillane’s painter character made me question my own mortality. Truth, pain, art, there was so much in that episode. And season 2 in a few hours!
It’s okay, Mr. Dillane. Many of us aren’t sure what was going on with Stannis, either. From a book reader perspective (cue groaning), it’s clear the showrunners didn’t like your character if they thought Renly was the “good” Baratheon.
Most people say it doesn’t get good until the 4th episode, actually. The show finds its footing by the end of the first season, and the second truly was amazing.
If this is indicative of what she brings to the table, then we haven’t lost anything worthwhile.
Are you implying that my adoration of Obama’s character disqualifies my ability to criticize his administration? Far from it. Not that it’s your business, but I was often the first liberal in a roomful of liberals to bring up drones, TPP, Guantanamo, deportations, and more. It’s possible to have nuanced feelings for…
I saw this live and had the same reaction. It physically hurt to see a well-spoken, well-intentioned political leader speak in complete sentences and with a clear message. How could we ever lose that?
She also said this show is feminist because it has leaders who are female. I don’t take Clarke’s defenses of GoT seriously.
