Latter day Lucas would have us believe that he basically wanted the OT to look like the prequels when he originally made them, but the special effects technology of the 1970s/80s wouldn’t allow it. So for example, one limitation of the spaceship design was that the practical models couldn’t include any reflective…

I like Trent Reznor as much as anyone, but did we really need to listen to the same ten minute NIN song FOUR TIMES IN A ROW???

That was torture.....it was like watching a pretentious film school movie done with a big budget. If it was a 3 minute sequence embedded in one episode, it would have been great but not an actual episode. 

I read the scene as Otto being legitimately outraged by the murder of the ratcatchers. In his mind, they are civilians best left out of the game. But Otto understands that merely by existing, his great-grandson was a combatant in the big game, and thus was always vulnerable to assassination. Which is why he’s upset,…

I think it’s an interesting reflection of how Alicent seems unable to comfort and emotionally parent her children - likely because this is how she herself was parented by Otto. She can see their suffering but has no idea how to relate to them, other than through further scheming. 

How does that douchebag Cole continue to fail UP so consistently?

Corlys doesn't seem distant, he's just being vague to make a sex joke with his wife.

Daemon just looking off to the side while everyone talks about the assassination..."do do do, just thinking of something else over here, not looking guilty".

Cut them a break. Most A.I. is under 10 years old.

I find it interesting how it makes a huge difference how the information is presented, even when it’s the same information. If you googled “how many rocks should I eat today” and the first thing Google presented was a link to the Onion article with the title as a preview (along with a list of other hits below), that…

Nah, studios need everything to have lore now, because then they can extrapolate that lore into sequels and spinoffs that no one wanted.

Kids need everything to have “lore” now

This is what happens when no one cares about the IP. Garfield is great not when you service his most basic and well-known character aspects, but when he’s allowed to be toxic and cynical, yet relatable and thoughtful. He is a low consequences bully who will steal food, mail a kitten he finds annoying to Abu Dhabi,…

I know, he likes to nap.  They shouldn’t have done that 🤔

Aw man, Garfield’s sold out.

Fame, maybe, but what “prestige” do victims have? What’s prestigious about being a victim?

I mean, you don’t make a bad point, but an artist being of a similar age doesn’t mean his music skews laterally like that at least necessarily. I remember Drake as being the wheelchair kid from the Degrassi reboot that only younger people than myself watched. (Not a judgment, and just a quick anecdote: I went to the…

I don’t think that’s strange or extreme at all: Comparing things that are dangerous to people with children is a very bad comparison, if she can’t understand the difference then I question her judgement. 

I dunno, in my opinion this show peaked around season 3 before it turned into a show that was entirely about pairing all of its characters off (even Ron Swanson!) and trying to make the audience go “awww” instead of being funny. It’s like the writers all fell too in love with their characters and stopped trying to…
