Stupid Sansa was certainly a big part of it. She’s been the catalyst for so much of the bad that has happened. She rebuffed Dany, pushing her further into isolation and guaranteeing the North would not support her despite her saving them. Then it just cascaded and grew. Sansa went from trusting too much to hating and…

Jon Cryer really elevated the show showing up as Lex. I’d love a Lex spinoff.

One of the best of the season. Lockwood realizes he’s a dupe. Wittwer does a fantastic job doing Rath’s mannerisms as Brainy being Lockwood. Melissa is clearly loving affecting the russian accent when playing her clone. Rath was as good as pragmatic logical Brainy as the make up is bad. He was really chilling and…

They could make a movie out of that and it would be the biggest movie ever. Just a supercut of the punch and the reactions.

I’m going to partially agree. The first arc was egregiously horrible, dumb and juvenile low-brow humor. The current vampire temple arc is actually rather entertaining but too little too late.

I figured with Cisco’s whiny get rid of my powers arc this season that they were writing him off. Given his light workload this year I’m guessing he asked for it this year but was convinced to string it out with a lesser workload for this year. I can understand an actor wanting to move on but it’s a shame for the show…

Your love, knowledge and respect of comics history make you the best columnist here.

Going native is always a risk in these situations and it happens.

He has the best pages. You wouldn’t believe how good his pages are. He has binders full of pages.

That and on the heels of the X-Bait-and-Switch wedding makes it a little much to stomach. The big boys pulled the same rug out from under the readers in two consecutive months. That’s pretty low.

The Dome had very good insight and wasn’t as knee jerk as this review was. I felt this came of of Katherine Agendacosta’s playbook.

I miss the days when they had the fun of the Dome reviewing the show and they were doing well thought out reviews of every episode of almost every genre show.

I’m beginning to think Beth is writing her review from the viewpoint of a puppet of the Shadow King to show the brilliance of the show and how the Shadow King corrupted the entirety of Division 3 except David.

Except nobody remaining at io9 is anywhere near that clever.

I look at what David did to remove the brain washing as a surgeon removing cancer. I’m agog at how people are viewing this. It’s like not only did the Shadow King compromise the entire team, he compromised the io9 community too.

Beth has watched an entirely different season than I did. I too thought it was prentious and overly stylistic weird for weid’s sake, unlike season 1 which I thought was perfect.

The season I saw was about the Shadow King playing a masterful game of manipulating everyone into putting David into the position of going…

I agree with you. I see the entire season as the whole group getting manipulated by the Shadow King who triumphantly gets them to array against their teammate and push him into buggering off.

I am quite frankly stunned, though not surprised, at the viewpoint of Elderkin.

I wouldn’t put it past GRRM to have more narrative creep and announce A Dawn of Summer.

Though I don’t expect we will ever see Winds of Winter, let alone Dream of Spring.

I loved What-If? I could use a regular alternative one-shot take on things.

Yes, both big publishers do their best work in Elseworlds but would that be true if those variations went on for 80 years? They wouldn’t be so fresh if they ran forever.

Pity. When he joined Legends I actually started enjoying the character. Though he was a bit OP and could solve their problems in a flash. But he was a lot of fun on Legends.

I think his wife is the central theme of the book and the most important character. She is the vapid society. I don’t understand removing her, unless they completely misunderstood the book or didn’t care to do an adaptation except in a very broad sense of the name and book burning.
