The Good Place had the best first season of any comedy since at least Arrested Development, maybe ever.

Let’s all have a moment of silence and then....

Seriously, it will cause you to question the very nature of self-identity and truth. Things that once brought you joy will now only cause sadness, and the stress of this experience will probably cause you to gain about 15 pounds. Gaze upon Reason No. 17, ye mighty, and despair.

I am the King of the Peppercorn! Any motherfucker wants some Peppercorn, they come to me!

To be fair, he also serves as a reminder of why I stopped dating potheads.

If you can get over the word “French” in the title, The French Connection is a cool movie!

That doesn’t explain jack shit. It was obvious they had talked to Bran. What needed explaining was they waited to talk to him and why he waited to tell them.

There is no reason romantic comedies need to be mediocre to awful.

That would have solved a lot of what was wrong with that stupid storyline. Sure, they probably should have had some sort of conversation in the weeks/months that they were around which would naturally help defuse that tension. And you’d get some delicious dramatic irony knowing that Littlefinger was going down.…

The ideal situation here is that once it’s uploaded, some rando beats it the first time through.

God, that whole plot line was so contrived. WHAT THE FVCK WAS THE POINT OF THE ARYA vs SANSA SCENE FROM LAST WEEK? Why did they have a fight? Was Littlefinger ALWAYS watching them? I hate it so so so so so so so much.

Mountain Mk. III appears to be around the same height as Rory McCann, though significantly bulkier (he is one of those World’s Strongest Man competitors, I believe)—the dude they had in season 2 was way taller but looked like a Slovenian NBA washout. Mountain Mk. 1 is still the best one, IMO. He had the demeanor down…

BRAN: Dames, who needs ‘em? But you and me, pal, we get each other. Just two bros, hangin’ out, shootin’ the shit, doin’ man stuff. Like, um... um... scratchin’ our balls and... sports? And? ...er... my omniscience power is leaving me hanging here...

It was definitely the best episode of the season. (Almost) None of the magical teleporting or pacing issues, and loads of character development. Couple of genuinely shocking moments as well. I really thought Jaime was going to get Mountain-ed.

There’s a lot of silly shit on this show, but get two actors like Dinklage and Headey in a room and it’s Lannister gold.

“Oh hey guy I met briefly years ago. I’m gonna tell you Jon’s parentage, but I’m not going to tell my sisters, for no reason.”

Re: HL2E3:

It’s perfect as far as I’m concerned. You get the implication that the Combine are simply too massive and powerful for the efforts of Earth to have done anything to harm them in the long run, which just drives home the “Multidimensional Corporate Space Overlords” theme even harder. Earth might’ve bucked the…

If Suge Knight isn’t involved, it’s not a real feud.

And then he goes back, back, back, back, back

Hi Gameological friends! It is I, Spacemonkey Mafia! I’m using my old io9 Kinja account instead of fussing around with rebuilding my old duck persona with a new account because I am too busy spending my days racing expensive sports cars against minor Saudi royalty and making my own cheeses.
