“so that makes it okay”

I miss the days of Newbie and Expert reviews for GoT on the AV Club, because they would actually, ya know, review and analyze the show and were written by people who had a clear interest in the material they were tasked with reviewing. If this is all we’re getting then what reason do I have to come here after I…

I gotta say having the intro air this week made me enjoy the episode just a little bit more. Something about that theme just gets you going.

Between now and next week, please look up the definition of the word “grooming” and provide a 2000 word essay on what it actually is, why it’s actually bad, and how this wasn’t it. You will be graded on content and presentation.

Given the historic take in conservative religious circles that women should quietly tolerate abuse, it’s particularly worrying for an alleged abuser to be all “my life is so hard I can’t even get a taco without someone accusing me of punching Sia, I’m gonna go become a Catholic.”

Lady Gaga reminds me of Kate Hudson. Both were great in their first breakout roles. But they were both kind of playing characters very close to themselves.

And sometimes people cheat because they’re miserable in their relationships and the person they’re with is an asshole but they’re not quite miserable enough to leave unless something horrible happens, or they meet someone who reminds them what is possible in a relationship.

Some days you are the motherfucker, some days you’re the motherfuckee.

Well, I can see why Olivia Wilde might not have wanted to fuck Shia if he was acting like an abusive asshole during all the meetings and rehearsals and then claiming it was part of his process.

“Vitellaro labeled the boy as an “offender” who wasn’t complying with directions.”

Yeah I’m not going to comply with some random plain-clothed individual screaming at me and trying to grab me either. Imagine that. 

He does have that chin that you can easily believe is the product of incest.

I think it’s less (at least for me) that I’m bothered by her going full mad queen then the fact that it was done so abruptly. I agree she always had the makings of the next mad queen but at the time in the show she wasn’t even close to there yet. It needed AT LEAST another 2 seasons of her rule to let the slow descent…

He and Peggy weren’t together and he had no clue he would ever see her again.  I find it impossible to believe he wouldn’t get laid on that tour. And doing so in no way, shape or form diminishes his later relationship with Peggy.

Can you MRM snowflake more? Men fucking “hulk out” in their everyday lives constantly, often with deadly results. Society (and media as reflection of that) lionizes and teaches that men are dominant, need to be protectors and warriors, not take shit, and that consequently violence can be an answer to their feelings of…

Nah, his licenses are PISSED. 

It’s truly difficult to take anything you say seriously when you parrot the debate tactics (both in this comment thread and others) of some of the most uninformed, arrogant, and rude people I’ve come across.

“We broke out the butterfly net; but Ezra thought it was an accessory, now they’re wearing it out to the Hawaiian karaoke bars.”
