I'm still into The Originals and I think it's slightly more interesting than TVD at this point (which is mainly because TVD seems to have given up on long term planning and just runs with whatever is exciting at the moment now)

To get all that delicious nerve gas, I suppose.

I googled her after seeing All Stars. Clam Happy is the best song ever made.

Lil Poundcake is my drag superstar.

I've seen the puppet challenge already. Ben's Bianca del Rio puppet is to die for.

I didn't take issue with the challenge either, even though I agree that it would have been better if it actually was at least a little about marriage equality.

The mini-challenge was created solely as an excuse for a hurricane of entertainingly horrible art puns and we all know it.

So, that's definitely not our Krieger that's flying back to the US, right?

Wow, I never thought I'd actually choke up watching Archer.

Well, I wasn't arguing that those characters wouldn't exist in actual history. They just wouldn't have been the heroes of an epic saga of this vein. Tyrion's rationalism is what is thoroughly modern about him - I don't think his attitude would fly in pre-Renaissance Europe.

Well, even if this was set in actual England around the War of the Roses, it would still be a story written somewhere around the turn of the millenium. The best it could do would be to try aping medieval values, but then we'd probably be stuck with Nedd's or Jon's POV and the truly interesting parts couldn't happen.

I think that what you're not really taking into account is that while GoT is a story set in an universe mirroring medieval Europe, it is still written from the modern point of view and it can't really cut itself free from modern values, even though it portrays a world that largely doesn't share those values. Tyrion,…

Also who cares about Dontos who's had maybe five minutes of total screentime. Of course that's not what's going to be talked about.

In what way does that not apply to the show's version of Cersei? Nobody would ever deny her those characteristics based on the show alone.

Eh, I doubt the corpse would have minded.

I think that it's entirely possible to pull of that kind of sex scene correctly by not omitting the YES! part.

Uh, I certainly think that sex between two consenting adults who are related is pretty okay compared to rape.

It is not the most shocking scene, but is extremely disturbing and I find it unnecessary. The disturbing part is not the rape itself, but the fact that we know and have come to at least partially sympathize with both the rapist and the raped woman. It is made as clear as possible that rape is on the daily menu in…

She's a believable, largely villainous figure capable of being sympathetic. I don't quite see how she's given a sympathy card by being raped by her brother.
