You may not be considering the fact that Ben Shapiro’s a total dipshit moron.
I think the conservative default is: “if you disagree with me about anything, you’re a socialist tool.”
Neil is on the left side of the screen, so I'd say Shapiro gets partial credit.
The fact that Ben Shapiro considers Andrew Neil, the right-wing chairman of pro-Brexit rag “The Spectator” a “leftist” shows how far-right American conservatism has gone.
“I’m popular and no one’s ever heard of you,”
BBC: “So can you actually defend any of your positions?” “YOU’RE A COMMIE LEFTIST AND NOBODY LIKES YOU.”
What a beautiful story. Thanks for sharing. I hope your dad continues to recuperate.
Yeah. Any apparent political stability at the end of the series is sure to be temporary. That’s just human history. There’s always some form of political struggle happening, and it will continue long after the inevitable proletarian uprising that abolishes the monarchy and turns the iron throne into scrap metal for…
One super fascinating part of this story is that it is, in many senses, just the epilogue to another story which we only hear about in snippets. A massive portion of Game of Thrones is simply the fallout of Robert’s Rebellion.
I think what many people seem to miss when they think Ned didn’t play the game intelligently and the same mistake they make even more so with Jon is that Ned never wanted to play the game of thrones, he was just trying to do the right thing and that’s what got him killed and Jon certainly doesn't want to play, his…
HBO Accountant: “You can either afford Sean Bean’s salary, or you can afford dragons for your show.”
Yea, this was definitely a call-everyone-you-know-and-ask-them-did they-just-see-this?! moment. And if they didn’t see it, this was a call-everyone-you-know-and-tell-them-to-start-watching-right-now moment. Simply put, “Baelor” changed the way I look at TV.
This was one of the best moments of a good TV show becoming a great one.
I had the pleasure of watching season one with my sister who had not read the books. She loves to make predictions. Keeping my mouth shut was painful but totally worth it for the payoff at the end. I couldn’t be there when they aired the Red Wedding and OMG the angry texts.
To me, the brilliance of Game of Thrones is that Martin actually pulls this off not once, but twice. Ned is set up as the typical hero, and boom, this happens. Then, its only logical that the next hero is going to be his son, Robb, who is leading an invasion to take revenge for his father’s execution. Robb is young,…
I watched this episode with my dad. Neither of us had read the books, even though we’re both pretty big scifi and fantasy fans. But we were really enjoying the show up to that point.
The best trick the show pulls is leaving open the possibility (literally up until the last second) that Ned will be sent to the Wall, where he can live in exile with his bastard son. Since we’re already spending a lot of time with Jon at the Wall, we can see how this would work in TV logic — this is the kind of show…
