The life and death of Quentyn Martell was the moment that finally killed any thought I might have had that Martin has any skills as an author besides the ability to write legible sentences with decent phrasing in bulk. He cannot tell a story, handle the arcs of characters, respect good pacing - any of the virtues that

Then let me clarify my thought process for you: Fuck the show that repeatedly sees women raped and brutalized it’s fucking trash and it sickens me to my fucking stomach that people keep making shows where women are repeatedly raped and brutalized but then Get Revenge as some kind of statement about mature grown-up

[Image of Clippy] Hello! I see you’re make a some kind of point whereby a multimillion dollar television production is equivalent flippant comment on an internet forum because you’re super angry someone doesn’t like the cowboy rape show you think is deep and meaningful. This point seems kind of under-thought would you

Let me just mentally review her storyline... hrm, nope, sorry, it’s still in sanctimonious Westworld, which is sill exhausting and tired.

Counter-Argument: United States of America.

Do you want the same blood, guts, sex, sexual violence, and vapid musings about ‘man’s inherent inhumanity to man’ written by people with myopia as Game of Thrones but with cowboys?

Great news, there’s Westworld to fill that void for prestige television that has nothing to say that can’t be diluted do a

Haven’t watched the episode. Haven’t really watched the show in years, but that sounds exactly like the sort of thing that makes great sense thematically but is rubbish in practice because if memory serves Bran has spent most of the last while Not Really Being Much Of Anything.

This is where very tiresome people go

“I think the important thing is that Jaime had a chance at freedom [with Brienne] and finally liberated himself from Cersei, which I think the audience will be thrilled about,” Headey said. “I think the biggest surprise is he came back for her. Cersei realizes just how she loves him and just how much he loves her.

I didn’t get the sense that Rocket or Nebula spent much if any time on earth - maybe a handful of days out of five years.

What romance? They’re total strangers.

He doesn’t have a relationship with Gamora anymore. It literally died with her.

Mereen sucks in the books too.

Because Daenerys is terrible, but it’s a lot more obvious in the books without GoT’s vaseline-lensed framing. In the books you get Daenerys inner thoughts until by the end of her last book - I think it’s four? - you’re just dragging yourself through page after page of a not terribly

Books one and three are pretty great. Book two is lousy and books four and five are worse as its clear he has no ability to bring a story to heel and is so committed to his deconstruction that is he has to right half a million words about assholes and idiots he’ll do it.

This backlash to the current season arguing that

That’s a terrible word of the day.

The thing I love most about watching Splinter/Root readers getting together to throw shit at one-another in the comments on basically every political post is nothing.

It’s so fucking stupid.

Nothing surprising bout this. Ontario drivers are garbage who constantly pull selfish shit like this because they’re self-absorbed dipshits who think they’re the only people on the road.

At least Battlestar had a point to make.
