I could have maybe bought that the Lannisters just hadn't gotten around to retaking Dragonstone, if we hadn't seen Cersei and Jaime explicitly talking about Dany's approach and the likelihood of her landing at Dragonstone first. Even if they didn't have enough forces to hold it, they could at least have sent a few

I'd love to see Sansa end up on the Iron Throne, and I do think she has a reasonable chance at it- I was disappointed last season when the Northerners chose Jon as their leader instead of supporting Sansa, the legitimate heir of Winterfell (as far as any of them know), as the Queen in the North, but that narrative

I disagree, I think all the double Fassbender scenes looked like an intriguing gay romantic drama directed by David Cronenberg, and it's just a pity that they were surrounded by 90 minutes of generic Alien rip-off.

It really really is, and Mads is fantastic in it, you should definitely watch it asap

Yeah, I feel like the original rise of Voldemort is clearly the most interesting period for more HP-related works, rather than twenty years after everything's been wrapped up or 70 years before it all starts. It'd maybe be more fun to see the Marauders et al as the protagonists rather than some OC, but I still have

If we're counting TV shows, you've got to include Hannibal (which in addition to being a prequel is more or less fanfic). And I consider X-men First Class better than or equal to any of the original X-trilogy.

The soundtrack might not be historically accurate, but it seems very much in keeping with the spirit of the Decameron, which I think is the more important thing.

What about poor Kevin?

Eh, I found that moment in the show rather a let-down after all the build-up, but the video that Netflix posted was everything I ever dreamed of.

If Sabrina isn't a witch then I don't see the point of having her on the show at all, it's not like they don't have plenty of existing characters who could use some extra screentime/development. Given how good the show has been at mixing gothic horror and campy melodrama with the more grounded stuff, I'd actually be

The identity thing is silly, sure, but I feel like it's pretty in character for Mr Wednesday, as an American who's never been anywhere else and is fond of pontificating. I don't think we're necessarily meant to believe it.

Eh, I'm a non-American who grew up reading the comics, and I still think it would be dumb to include the love triangle just because it's in the source material. God knows they've changed plenty of other things. Even if they do go back to it, I'd assume it's more just because it's the CW.

I would love for Betty's brother to get involved with the maple syrup feud, I love everything relating to that plot point and was rather disappointed that Jason's murder turned out to be about something as banal as a secret drug empire. But they still haven't resolved the 75 years of Blossom payments to the Lodge

True, but Penelope's 'purely Blossom' line sure made it feel just as icky as proper incest.

That is also a very common part of the trope, as pointed out in the video: Olivia Wilde's character in Tron is explicitly described as 'profoundly naive, unimaginably wise', which could also be applied to Leeloo and several other examples, but the point is that they're inexperienced when it comes to social interaction

Been a while since I saw 13 Going On 30, but I'm not sure it actually fits this trope? From Ruffalo's perspective, she's a regular adult woman who has some kind of weird emotional breakdown, and even though he likes 13yo Garner (with whom he was best friends) better than 30yo Garner (who was a horrible person), he

Tbf to Polly, if she refused all suspicious foodstuffs, she wouldn't be able to eat anything while staying with the Blossoms.

The origin story of her father's hair was amazing, as is everything about the Blossom family, and also raises the intriguing question of how exactly Granpappy Blossom died (I'm taking it as given that the ghost was real and someone did in fact slit his throat)?

I don't think anyone is actually suggesting that? There are plenty of people, myself included, who disliked that joke but still enjoyed the movie as a whole.

They remind me of this tweet/post about Daredevil (which is obviously a good thing)
