Remember, the Fox News opinion crew were saying the same thing about Obama in '07 before it looked like he had a chance.

Hell, I've got a democratic mayor who worked under Obama in one of the most liberal cities in the country and I hate the school-closing, union-busting, "let's give shit away to rich people 'cause that always works" prick (Seriously, Rahm, fuck you). That doesn't mean I'm voting third party (a protest vote that matters…

Well, yeah, and she's already said as much (and, contrary to popular belief, candidates almost always try to fulfill their campaign promises. It just makes sense if you want to be reelected.) As for donors, people give money where they think it's going to get them access. Remember, Wall Street invested heavily in…

"Do you actually think candidates are in charge of parenting their supporters?" Sorta, yeah, at the very least it's a standard campaign tactic. If someone's supporters are acting up or being generally shitty, you challenge the candidate to do something about it. Sometimes it's legit, sometimes not, but it also keeps a…

Not really true for Texas. Due to a shit-ton of natural resources, it's pretty much the ONLY red state that, on average, contributes more than it takes (though that changes year-to-year and depending on the price of oil.)

As opposed to the celibacy of being a man of the Night's Watch? Yeah, that ship sailed long ago.

Well, if you're going to get all real-world, both are also in the public domain, which might have had a little something to do with it.

Is it me, or was this finale (especially considering it's THE END) really, really thin. I don't care what the creator said, it's like they got bored a few episodes ago and decided to just wrap shit up in a big damn hurry. I was really expecting a whole season of Dark Vanessa. I WANTED a whole season of Dark Vanessa. I…

Plus Tropic Thunder, but there was a long gap between that and Frailty. Let's call that the "misguided romantic comedy lead" period.

Eh, I thought it failed in the same way Enterprise did, by shying away from its premise to become TNG: Redux with less beloved characters. It should've had shades of BSG, with legitimate tension between Maquis and Starfleet crews, along with real questions of what happens when the lofty ideals and rules designed by a…

Well, for Jon, he just lost his head through the rage of seeing Rickon die right in front of him. He heard Sansa, but wasn't really listening. It was stupid and overly emotional and exactly what Sansa warned him against. After he attacked, everything was fucked into a cocked hat. After that, there was little-to-no…

It's not a pincer move, that requires sweeping around your enemy's flanks, which, you're right, they didn't have the numbers for. It's a killbox. The Boltons can't move to the sides due to the trenches. The Bolton's attack and the center of the Stark line starts to give way and fall back. Attacking armies move either…

Q:"Not even a little bit of flanking?" A: Not enough troops. And they protected their own flanks by digging trenches. Q: No concealment of reserve forces? A: Not enough troops. And no reserve forces. Q: No sending wun wun, Sansa, and a small force around the long way to take the fortifications and give Ramsay a…

Not at all, she just doesn't put her fate fully in the hands of some other person who pledges to "protect" her. She didn't strategize, she prepared to have her own army to use on HER terms and not put all her faith in Jon in the way she previously put all her faith in her "savior-of-the-moment" with Dontos, then…

It's a screwy mix of sexual chemistry and personal dislike, the lizard brain and rational mind at odds with each other. The result isn't always necessarily really rough sex (though that tends to be a part of it), just an odd combination of sexual-one-upmanship and a lack of self-doubt. Usually sex is at least a little…

It truly is aggressively awful. One of those movies so deeply bad it's hard to imagine anyone on Earth reading the script and saying, "Yes, I think it'd be a good idea to spend millions of dollars to bring this vision to life."

I had to love the tortured leaps of logic "Signs" tried to get "Alien Ninjas running around in the back yard" to make sense.

Literally have no idea at all what you're talking about, (show, book, movie?) but your post makes it clear how hard it is to make the transition. Even in your ideal version of a heel turn, the one turning is only neutral. I remember as a kid (because I was one of those kids who killed wonder every chance he got) I…

You can see the turbines in a lot of action shots in Deadpool. It's not obvious or focused on, just kinda in the background.
