Phalanx fighting must be considered visually dull. Even in a movie like 300 where it's one of the main reasons the heroes can perform so well while vastly outnumbered they break ranks for slow-mo one man showcases. The Unsullied beat cops forgot that while we're all the main character in our own movie we're also a

That does make a lot of sense but why would they attack her in the arena after she reopens the fighting pits?

Was he training with strangers? If you're a Tyrell retainer with weapons nearby and robed fanatics try to abduct the (show's) heir to Highgarden .. maybe don't let them?

Two seasons? Two episodes. The show's being ruthless with pruning AFFC & ADWD.

It's a legitimate complaint. The explanation I usually see offered is that the illness must have lightened her hair. Show's not going to attempt a better one. It'll have to do.

"I'll be married when you get back." When a girl is willing to defend herself against your advances by marrying Ramsay Bolton you need to reevaluate your seduction strategy.

" .. Weiss and Benioff actually don't give a shit about things making sense within the specific context of the world Martin made."

When Show Barristan meets Alton Lannister in the hereafter and explains how he died the kid's going to be underwhelmed.

She may make it out alive (good luck, kid), but they lingered a little too long on Melisandre reminding Selyse about her daughter's blood for it to be meaningless.

Some of them could be sellswords. At least on the show.

"They're not just angry rich nobles, they're also angry poor citizens who believed they could someday be rich nobles."

They were conveniently sloppy but the Unsullied aren't supposed to be world class 1-on-1 fighters. Their value is mostly in their discipline as a group. Confine them to a small space like that and surround them with greater numbers and discipline isn't going to get them too far. Unless they're the one Unsullied with a

I get defensive when someone is critical of the idea that making low budget, independently financed movies can be worth the effort. I don't know how I can be any more clear than last time, but I'll try again: I do not care which movies Robert Downey, Junior acts in or how he makes that decision. I don't care what he

Britain had something similar happen with Jimmy Savile a few years ago. If it makes anyone feel the slightest bit better in comparison, at least this is all coming out while Cosby's still alive and has to face up to it.

As long as it isn't "Bill Cosby is a rapper with his pants sagging down to his knees." Those guys are the WORST.

I could see that but I don't feel like I'm misrepresenting the attitude expressed.

Yeah, but there's a 99% chance the guy who wrote this email is from "Gen-X," so, that firing squad's going to form in a circle:

Sounds good. I'll expend the rest of my righteous indignation in advance.

At what point do we as Generation X have to stop running down Boomers for abandoning their previously held ideals and commercializing every experience they had in their youth? We should probably be ready for it ahead of time.

Yeah, but without it we wouldn't be here. This is as complicated as getting mad at your parents.
