I recognize this isn’t your fault and the AV Club team seems to be working hard at making this conversion work for us regulars... but I do have to question why these issues - which are not minor - weren’t addressed before the changes went live.

Laura, it’s certainly not your fault, Gizmodo Media Group does a terrible job of communicating to the fan base of its numerous interconnected sites. I had to do my own research to learn the fate of The Onion (it’s apparently being integrated to GMG too, though its unclear what that means or how it works). This…

Will the TV Club no longer have separate pages for show reviews (by season)? And, will we have to scroll through the entire list of shows that you have to find specific shows (which is how it is currently), or will there be an update allowing us to just type in which shows we’re looking for? (In case that didn’t…

I’m really starting the think that GRRM has no real desire to finish TWOW, or any subsequent books in the series. I think he is just waiting out the HBO show, and waiting for interest to die down, so he can just semi-quietly move on. He seems to be getting involved in project after project, some related and…

With how the show is ending he’d be wise to never finish them. Consensus is that his books have gotten weaker as the series progresses. If his enthusiasm has waned then his writing is also likely not up to par with the earlier books. With how poorly the show is ending an amazing last two entries to the series would…

maybe he should watch the show, become inspired that they are unwinding without his architecture, and write three books in three years of the most awesome quality possible. I mean, he’s the big winner of this season if you ask me.

Because it is a lot easier to hide behind THE TROOPS than it is to have a discussion on an uncomfortable subject.

I’m a bit confused by this. Am I supposed to shut up or stand up? Because I could give a sh*t about telling people how good I am, but I will forever speak up about injustice and violence and right-wing terrorism. This absolutely isn’t about my feelings, but this kind of thing makes me so angry for humanity that I…

Oh please. The writer is not upset. He is making an observation. It is similar to saying, “It’s unusually hot this summer.” Stop disparaging people’s comments by implying they are illogically emotional.

Yep Kelly took the account away. While “bombastic” and similiar language, unless he suddenly developed a completely different writing style after all these years it just some trying to mimic him.

Someone else is writing his tweets, they every once in a while they throw in a trump-ism to season it to taste.

I’m sorry. What? How can you possibly conclude that he doesn’t know what to do with Lady Stoneheart? She’s in the process of doing exactly what Arya did in the show. Lady Stoneheart and the Band of Brothers as of right now exist to control the Middlelands and take out the Freys. And the control of the Middlelands is a…

I concluded a couple years ago that if I wanted to see some kind of conclusion to the story before I died, I’d better watch the TV show because GRRM isn’t going to finish writing it anytime soon. It’s simply a pragmatic conclusion based on the available evidence. (And I think that the show has mangled some characters…

Why should I stick to trousers? Because society says I should? Fuck that. I’ll wear what I want.

You also assume air conditioning. I worked in an office that regularly reached 85 degrees in the summer. I wore both shorts and sandals. Oh, and they were cargo shorts and Tevas. Take that!

It depends on how you interpret the books. There are some theories that think ASoIaF is really a sci fi story with all the trapping of a medieval fantasy.

Fashion-police takes are the dumbest takes.

Agreed. He is too old. We need a younger candidate in the 40-50 age range. The Sandersbase should work to keep up enthusiasm and Bernie should be looking at the Democrat ranks with an eye to endorsing a younger candidate from the get go.

Keep an eye on Voter ID, Gerrymandering, and federal and state appointments for life. It’s far from certain that they’ll allow themselves to be removed from power this time.

To be fair, the Democrats, like many of us, are still shaking our heads in disbelief that a coherent case against the modern Republican Party needs to be made. You know, in the face of over 40 years of systematic murder, torture, warmongering, war profiteering, general profiteering, lies, theft, disenfranchisement,…
