In retrospect, I’m finding the remarks here about GoT depressingly funny.

To be fair, they were really stupid mechs. I don’t know why, out of 3's myriad flaws, the fact that the mechs didn’t have any chest armor is the one that bothered me the most, but there you are.

Now they’ll have to recast Alessandro Nivola. He’s just not alliterative enough.

He also has my favorite line in Speed:

On first blush, it would be easy to see something a little dispiriting in the fact that most of the “great” PS2 games on this list are sequels, a category of game typically associated with play-it-safe design decisions and a desire for refinement over sheer innovation.

No, it’s Babylon 5. 

AoS was solid gold for the first four seasons (barring that first half season, of course), but went downhill in seasons 5-7, which is not coincidentally about the time the show started sidelining Iain De Caestecker. I mean, does anyone know why they worked so hard to separate him from the rest of the cast, including…

Here’s my suggestion:

Context!? Was there context when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor!?

The thing is, Gibson must be one charming son of a bitch when sober, because far to many Hollywood figures who should definitely know better - Jodie Foster and Robert Downey Jr., I’m looking at you - keep allowing themselves to overlook his putrid beliefs and remain on friendly terms with him. I wouldn’t be surprised…

I’ve never seen the anime, so I have no reference points. I just want another Firefly, or barring that, another Killjoys/Dark Matter. Should I bother?

Yeah. I mean, of course fishing is the least interesting party of video games - fishing is the least interesting part of fishing.

In my experience, all conspiracy theories are eventually antisemitic.

Not with a bang but James Corden

I’m 47 years old. Maybe I should be watching this.

What’s wrong with being middle class?

Justified and PoI are the first two shows I look for in any of these lists. If they aren’t there, the list is crap.

“Taking” land? In the past 30 years, Israel has done little but LOSE land - it’s withdrawn from southern Lebanon, it’s withdrawn from the Gaza Strip, it’s withdrawn from large sections of the West Bank. It’s also halted the establishment of new settlements almost completely.

If Israel is committing “genocide” against the Palestinians, then why are there still so many of them? You’d expect that after 54 years of occupation by so-called genocidal tyrants, their population numbers would drop, but instead not only have they grown constantly, they’ve grown at a much faster rate than those of…

Yeah, I mean, WhatsApp isn’t social media by any definition of the term I’m familiar with. It’s basically a more modern form of email.
