I do agree, your point is well taken,  and of course yes, it wouldn’t have cost them anything and may have prevented some unnecessary anguish, but I guess my side-eye was: ——Perhaps if you have lots of those types of triggers, watching a show about selfish bloodthirsty (literally) characters prone to outbursts of…

I imagine it would have been easy and prudent to issue a warning, but I expect all kinds of violence and dramatic explosions to take place in this type of show. If you are looking for standard issue sanitized plot lines involving VAMPIRES, perhaps you should hit up some Teen Vamp series, older films, etc., as this one…

With respect to those who are upset - this Is a story (book or show) about literal monsters. They’ve murdered hundreds of people. The online response was very surprising to me. Plus the story (book or show) Is built around unreliable narrators - Louis, Claudia AND Lestat. We don’t know If this Is actually what…

As someone who started coming to io9 for CJA’s Who recap/reviews, I agree wholeheartedly.

So this site is going to regular reviews on one or two series at a time and everything else gets press releases and recaps of the trailers if we’re lucky, is that it?

Definitely, 2 different things.

Nope, Linda.  Two different things.

sir please the correct categorization is a “power bottom”

All I need to know is that he’s clearly a dom bottom.

Loved the first one, love Charlize, keen to see what comes in the sequel

LMAO bro when it went to the Disney+ screen I almost fussed at my son because he likes to grab the remote and hit buttons. He had just picked it up off the table and then it went to that. I jumped up and grabbed it then realized it was part of the show while he’s freaking laughing hysterically because I had to chase…

It worked.

Was it just me or was this a very tonally different Matt than we saw back in Hells Kitchen? He’s quippy, flirtatious, and downright fun (sending She Hulk an appletini after you just beat her in court is ballsy) but honestly I loved him like this. No dour church scenes, no wrangling over his conscience, just living…

This episode was SO GOOD! Jacob Anderson does so much good work in it. He owns every scene. His performance as Grey Worm in GoT was kinda one-note but man does he act the shit out of everything in this pilot.

I’m sorry, but there is at least one major plot-related error in every single recap. This is pedantic at all; the stuff Jenna gets wrong completely changes her reading of the show. Points 1 and 4 are absolutely not ambiguous — the maester explicitly says that the baby is breeched and nothing can be done, besides…

Lazy/sloppy content doesn’t need defending, and 1 and 4 aren’t ambiguous. Have a seat yourself.

Go read Jenna’s other reviews for the show. There’s errors and oversights that are so large they make it impossible to engage with the content. You can’t even have a good chat about it in the comments because the actual substance of the observations are off. It’s not bloviating nerd pedantry, it’s a meaningful problem…

He specifically says, “if that’s the case I’d personally prefer if you posted reviews a few hours later so you can have time to actually rewatch the episode and edit a bit.” And I agree, not being first to publish is better than getting lots of details wrong. Like not noticing that Helaena’s “gibberish” is actually pro…

An important grammar point is that “they” has been used as a singular (“Whoever dropped this, they can come pick it up!”) for centuries and “you” is actually plural as opposed to the singular “thou” (“Honor thy parents!).  It is worth looking up the history of proscriptive grammar and how it messed us up.

But surely the only reason that she learns what she does is she *isn’t* in a position to do anything? If the Jedi hadn’t basically offered her up as a sacrifice she’d almost certainly have been with Anakin when Palps was captured, sorry, ‘captured’ by the Separatists so doesn’t talk to Maul. By the time she learns the…
