Thank god they are giving Ostara more to do than just stand around and revive Shadow after he dies performing Wednesday's vigil. Having multiple iterations of Jesus frame her introduction is also a welcome change from the book introduction of her. I love the book, but that barista that Wednesday asks about Easter…

I'm not sure Islamofascism is the right term for what they are going after here. Patriarchy and the ways in which men use religion, especially monotheistic religions centered around male figures, to attack and bind women, seem to be the main target of those scenes, especially when brought into conversation with how…

And thus with that incantation, Tu-Pacman was born. Part hologram so that he may eat other translucent creatures like ghost, he wanders the dark hallways of 80's arcades and Coachella, eating all the drugs.

So, Dwarf Fortress or a political baby kissing photo op that got really out of hand.

I loved this episode, but Jones' portrayal of Nancy is leaving me a slight bit worried. He was by far the nicest of the Old Gods in the novel, or perhaps the most willing to come across as nice. The monologue was excellent, but I just hope they don't lost the more grandfatherly, gentle trickster aspects of his…

To be fair, LotR is actually 6 books. Tolkien initially envisioned it as a single book, then split it up into 6. Fellowship, Two Towers, and RotK are all made up of two books each. Within Tolkien Studies, both types of book are used in citations, and the trilogy is generally discussed as 6 books published in 3 volumes…

I was at Book Expo America in NYC last weekend and had the chance to chat with the people at Scholastic who are doing marketing for the movie and Pilkey's new books. Apparently, Pilkey underwrites over a Scholastic thousand book fairs a year in underprivileged from his royalties, under the condition that each child…

I wonder if Mark Rosewater will come back and write an episode or two. I certainly hope so, as it would give the MTG community something to talk about that isn't Wizards fucking things up on the ban lists, then breaking banning norms to fix their fuck up, then just fucking up more in general.

Tso long, farewell, auf wiedersehen adieu

Shit.

What kind of a what is this?

True, but we never really discuss last stands as suicides, excepting Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

Kyubey, will your people weaponize this somehow to obtain more magical girls?

Its a bit weird, from what I can recall. His factory and home, as well as everything left inside, are in the possession of the National Park Service, and I am unsure if they have an archival branch. If anything, ConEdison may have archived it back when they had possession. I'll have to look into it.

I personally would like to see a genderflipped take on the show in the next season. Male suicide, especially among teenagers, is normally only explored in pop fiction with LGBTQ characters or people who are considered "mental." Having a male character who is relatively "normal", like Hannah was, commit suicide and…

Also, that is totally, totally what I meant by polite company in my first post and I am definitely not straining the language of my original comment. Not at all, good sir.

That cat is certainly not polite company. Being more competent than most of the characters left in King's Landing after Tywin died and Tyrion left for some tits and dragons is a very rude thing for a cat to do.

Cersei, stop quoting Tommen's last words in polite company.

Eh, wouldn't be too bad if they set it in my hometown. Edison left a lot of crap lying around in West Orange, including his phonograph production equipment.

I'd say a joke is only a joke when you can reasonably expect someone who isn't you to laugh at it. In the case of the Pepe meme, that was not so much a joke as it was a sad attempt to make a cartoon frog into a Nazi father figure to fill the void that being a white guy with working internet, enough free time to make…
