If it was Sansa and Benedict Cumberbatch, tumblr would be in a moist heap.

Huh? Killing Tywin was absolutely the right thing to do, more than justified, and long after time. It's his strangling Shae that people are referring to.

You've heard this expression your entire life, it's not made up, it's not made up!

Margery may be a total master manipulator, but come. Eventually that psycho was gonna turn on her and her family. He could barely stand his own. He had to go.

It was both realistic and horrible storytelling. Why waste an entire season building up to an event that has no meaning? And simply rewrites Robin and Barney's characters to where they were in season 4.

Isn't she just Baroness with a different color scheme?

Men will never be free until the last king is strangled with the entrails of the last priest. - Denis Diderot

Or it's because the idea of an actual god who also teams up with Iron Man is stupid. Monumentally stupid.

This is definitely Marvel's NCIS.

Come on.  The show looks like NCIS: Los Angeles.  It's disappointing.

I feel like they are going for a Kaylee vibe from Simmons but we're going to need a LOT more character layers for that to really work.

She handles the Whedonese well, but the writers are terrible with her character.  Everything about her is told instead of shown.  We get 5 minutes with her in front a few computers in the pilot and nothing else, but we're supposed to buy her as a hacker?  She's suddenly interested in going full on S.H.I.E.L.D. without

People are annoyed because it has the production value of NCIS: Los Angeles.  It's disappointing.

I hope this is right.  So far, not impressed.

This is just a more extreme example of past missteps.  If part 2 is equally full of telling rather than showing and merely compounds the pointless and unexplained Water Tribe politics then I'm out.  Judging from other reviews that I've read, I doubt that I will be alone.

Blegh.  Korra isn't just annoying.  She's unsympathetic and boring.  Zuko was abused by his father and raised among a society of sociopaths, but he still held to a sense of honor.  Korra is disloyal, entitled, and one dimensional.

It's a blatant retcon.  The writers have grown fonder and fonder of them.

There's NO WAY that anyone should be expected to read up on Water Tribe politics to follow the show.  If it's integral to the plot, as they have decided to make it, then they need to explain it.  On the show.  By showing, rather than telling.  This season has been pretty bad so far.

Yeah, this season is even more shit than the last one.  It's a shame.
