Do you ever see the turtles without 90% of their faces obscured by shadows? I guess the real question is, do you really want to?

Yeah that was extremely disappointing. Why rush that reveal if you're gonna make it so unimpressive? Bloodraven being a kinda old guy sitting a tree was a huge let down too. I had been excitedly imagining what he would look like all season.

I forgot to mention how disappointed I was with Leaf too.

The 4th season has kind of soured me. I was expecting a lot more, considering this was the absolute best material they had and I don't even think it's the best season.

Yeah, it is really frustrating because you can tell how much better it would be if different people were working with it. It feels like all the best moments are the ones from the book (it's still messed up a few of those), and everything kind of just limps around between those events. The filler feels too obviously…

A lot of people are saying The Sopranos and The Wire, but I think you'd probably want to watch one current show. I'd say The Wire and Hannibal; you get your perfect, gritty realism in The Wire, and macabre surrealism in Hannibal.

Whoa, no Game of Thrones, but I kind of agree with no one picking it. It had a shot at greatness this year with its source material, but it bungled it a few times too many.

They don't even let us give community grades anymore :(

The cherry on top of that skit is the next scene where Homer and Marge are watching TV and you can still hear Sideshow Bob struggling in the background.

Dale's utter obliviousness that Nancy has been cheating on him and his son isn't his. Specifically, whenever Dale talks about Joseph being his son, John Redcorn shows up.

Plate or platter?

Flinstones chewable morphine!
More OJ!
Lobo!

Hank: Buenos dias, Mexico!
Peggy: Haha, Oh, Hank. You just said, "Thank God, Mexico."

I'm living in a cuckoo clock!

I want to reread them and I haven't even finished yet! Glad to hear that the last book has some really satisfying moments in it, if you can call it that. What would you say your favorite book in the series was?

How did you like what you read of it? I've heard a lot of people call it the worst of the series, which I agree with, but I don't think it's bad.

For some reason, the world's details stick in my mind. It took me a year to finish Midnight Tides but I was never confused with it. Now, however, I'm having to recall things from House of Chains and that's a little more work, although I'm already halfway through The Bonehunters.

I agree that the books are much more moving, but there's just something about how it's written that makes it harder for me to really feel for specific characters on a personal level. It might have to do with the GRRM's POV structure vs. Erikson's combined with the widened scope. If anything horrible happens to…

I'm on the 6th book of the Malazan, Book of the Fallen series, called The Bonehunters. If you don't know the series, it's a GRRM style dark fantasy infused with a pantheon of manipulative gods, and each book plays out like Greek tragedy.

I thought that was what his plan was when he made pitches to both Daugherty and Nucky and they both agreed.
