I don't think she knows what happened to Shireen.

What's your point? The article is less about the comic itself, and more about the attempts to adapt it.

Still, she wasn’t bad. Just sort of forgettable.

Neither author is ever a paragon of their own philosophy, of course,…

I find myself in the middle ground. The Strangers is competently made, but I think it was just another in a long line of nihilist slasher flicks (the kind that "true horror fans" rave about to counter the wave of mediocre traditional supernatural horror movies in the mainstream).

Alright. But I can still make fun of Terrence Malick, right?

One thing I always try to do is pin point the point in time when a band/musician goes from being almost universally popular, or at least having a large fan base, to being the band "that was always shit if we're being honest".

Peep Show is one of of my favourite shows, and yeah Strand talks a lot like Johnson. If the writers really want me to like Fear The Walking Dead all they have to do is have Strand tell Travis, "I'm going to make you feel like you're a Turkey Fucker."

I didn't know those (mid budget adult dramas, etc) were ever out of theater real estate.

I see what you're saying, but at this point it's hard not to see why people do that. SJW as it's used today is widely recognized to be used by a specific set of people who hold a specific set of opinions. So when someone uses the term, anyone reading will immediately connect the speaker to that specific demographic.…

I think that idea is passed around because racism in America as it pertains to black people has been discussed a lot more than any other specific race, so some people think all our problems have been solved.

That's more of less the theory. Cersei will ask for a trial by combat, with "Robert Strong" as her champion. The Faith will presumably have volunteers to fight as their champion and Sandor will volunteer so he can fight is brother.

"This is where we're at" seems more appropriate than "Now what?", judging by the episode. They're putting the Dorne story in triage (after they fucked it up themselves) and they've basically got everyone in a period of transition rather than action.

I really don't see why Clenganebowl would happen at all. Other than giving fans a chance to see a favourite character get his revenge, it seems somewhat against the grain for Game of thrones. People generally don't get what they want, why would Sandor of all people get what he wants?

I never quite understood that criticism of the story-line. Much of that book leads nowhere anyway, and new characters have always been popping in and out of the series. That people specifically single out Dorne somewhat baffles me.

In the book he's not necessarily stupid, just uncomplicated. He's the Prince's bodyguard and nothing else, and he's fine with that.

I never thought Doran would have ended up with the throne (or even wanted to), but I wholehearted agree about the whole Dorne story-line. Killing off Doran simplifies things a bit, but in this case I think that's doing the show a disservice.

Although I do wonder how many times they plan to do the Person "unexpectedly" gets stabbed from behind thing. I think we got two in this episode alone.

It's not like he had that much of a choice. He was outnumbered, with one on either side of him, in a small cramped room. He'd have had to turn his back to one to fight the other anyway(and they know it so why would they both fight him at once?). He was basically dead as soon as they came into the room.

If there was gonna be a reboot, now would probably be the time to do it. What the the many supernatural themed shows on TV at the moment, it'd be best to get it out there now before people lose interest in the trend.
