Exactly. They say they're porting over the old comments, but a lot of the them aren't going to make any sense without the context of subthreads.

Seriously, I've been trying to work out the demographic of people who subscribe to HBO and also like Ballers. Investment bankers? It'd be like if NPR had radio show about ropin' steers.

I don't really care about the site layout or the publishing platform. Change away. My main concern is that the Kinja commenting system is just not very good. It lacks a lot of functionality that's common on other commenting platforms, from Disqus to Facebook, the most problematic being the lack of subthreads. I…

Yes. Just don't be afraid to skip an episode if you feel like it sucks. Those older shows had some unevenness, what with 24 eps a season.

Ooh, so close. Sadly, "journalism" is a noun. We were looking for "the Presidency".

Wait, skip county fair season? And miss their most lucrative time of year?

Or just fire them! How hard can it be to find four guys in LA who can play Journey songs?

This is such a weird argument. "Don't worry, their incompetence will shield us from any REAL catastrophe!" Forgive me if this is less than comforting.

The films in that book were brilliant. I know it gets frequently derided (by people who haven't read it) as an emblem of post-modern hipster absurdity, but goddamnit, it's a great fucking book, and readable as hell.

The compressed series order definitely makes the show worse. I'm sure a lot of the "Sansa shouting dumb stuff at meetings" scenes especially would have been very different if they had more time. I don't even blame the show runners, they're doing the best with what they have, but it's sad that what they have is less…

The books do not exactly make this clear. They make it clear that this is what the ironborn believe. However, that pattern is consistent with "some people recover, others die" theory shrewgod put forth. After the fact it's easy to believe that the ones who recovered were "brought back to life" and the ones that…

You're not wrong, but you'll have to take that up with him :-)

It is a fan theory, but there's a fair amount of evidence to back it up, and it makes a ton of sense knowing Littlefinger and the way he plays the long game. One of the more damning pieces of evidence regards Littlefinger's reaction (or lack thereof) when Joffrey makes his proclamation, compared with Cersei and Varys…

America: where nobody wants to eat healthier, they just want to pretend that they do.

Out of all the fucked-up shit going on in the world, who has outrage cycles to spend on "Angelina's casting director might have hurt some kids feelings, slightly"?

Interesting! If this is anything like my Tinder experience, the music will be call-and-response style, except there will never be any responses.

In a year or two I bet a lot of those same people will be talking about what an insightful and heartfelt examination of the human condition it is. Waiting to pass judgment isn't just a lost art, it's practically extinct.

It totally sounds like a name white people would come up with.

Literally the worst thing about New Orleans is the fact it's surrounded by Louisiana.

Good example of why the show is an anachronism that needs to die. In the 90s, this representations was about par for the course. 20 years later it's apallingly obvious how backward it is and it's harder and harder to accept the excuses.
