How exactly do they expect the children to run the show when it's the
adults who have all the life experience and technical know-how required to keep the town afloat?

But how exactly are they planning on replenishing their food supplies from those initial stores? It may not be a concern now, but Wayward Pines is hardly the ideal location for planting crops (heavily forrested, hilly terrain). Are there huge greenhouses somewhere in the massive (underground?) compound we saw Burke…

*tearing, squelching sound*

You pitcher and carton swiggers disgust me.

Even with the right budget, I think it would be difficult to capture the sense of dread and abject horror evoked by the Shrike.

This is Sy-Fy we're talking about, so the Shrike will probably end up looking like a Power Rangers villain.

Misery fatigue is setting in.

That barrage of puns was so intense it rendered me insens8.

I thought that scene felt a little contrived. She's been killing wights by the dozens up until that point and she loses her nerve when confronted by undead children? Those aren't your kids! Defend yourself!

I thought that was a really nice touch. He just waded out to the ships, pulling the wights off of him and hurling them into the sea as he went.

How is it that they've mastered space travel and yet they haven't developed ballistic weapons? Those details drove me crazy, but I still enjoyed the movie.

Equally fun fact: I was once shot in Rome.

You wouldn't be able to write worth a damn, either.

*nods approvingly*

*disdainfully hands a cheap plastic toy to a malnourished child*

I enjoyed parts of AFFC (Brienne) and ADWD (Jon), but the glacial pacing and extraneous focalisation characters really dragged them down for me.

You hit the nail right on the head. The show is juggling so many storylines and yet none of them are paying off (yet). There are some solid character moments strewn throughout, but for the most part it's bogged down by flat dialogue and over-exposition (which is true of much of the show and the books that they're…

In the books, Northerners in general seemed to have a pretty clear grasp on the fact that Ramsay Snow was batshit insane. It seems pretty unlikely that someone as well-connected as Baelish wouldn't have heard something about his psychopathic tendencies. That said, I'm willing to go along with it if Sansa's inclusion…

Right, because the people of the Middle Ages (or their rough fantasy equivalent) had such a clear grasp on the concept of genetic inheritance…

Don't worry, I'm sure they have an orgy scene planned for next week's episode (for plot reasons, of course).
