It's at the very beginning of the game, on the Citadel before you get your ship. I think it's part of the quest where you meet up with Tali and you have to break into this base of Krogan criminals. It's not too bad if you went with a biotic Shep.

Anything with Beholders (unless you're using the "Shield of Cheese") in Baldurs Gate II. Those eyeball rays were the D&D equivalent of a Tommy Gun.

That's under-selling Alfred's achievements considerably. Alfred built up the miltiary capabilities of Wessex, fortified the frontier, and built a fleet. He defeated Gothrum's army on the field, and Gothrum subsequently converted to Christianity and ran his kingdom in East Anglia along more or less the lines of an…

She also the same 's friend that in S1 convinced Alison to go visit Helen's store in New York, after egging her on to continue sleeping with Noah. She doesn't really give great advice from a moral perspective so I'm not sure if Max's rich-sad-puppy dog face made her feel bad after a while.

It's usually alarm-bells for me whenever anyone is too nice on this show - you just now they're making it up! - but it could be just because of my implicit trust in Joshua Jackson from "Fringe" that I am more inclined to trust his PoV. Unlike some other characters, Cole is actually called out on his being…

If it makes you feel better, I'm sure she milked Max's checkbook every second of their mutually rewarding and deep relationship.

Max was probably tired of Noah always coming to him for all those years and always bitching about his own problems. "ME, ME, ME!…." is Noah's default tone. Max has been in love with Helen for at least two decades, but at least he consoled himself by imagining that maybe Helen simply still loved Noah and that's why she…

When Margaret asked whether Cole was the same person that put a gun to Noah Solloway's head, I half imagined that she start cackling in glee and immediately become Cole's BFF because he terrified the man who cheated on her daughter and essentially abandoned her grandchildren (And got off to his own daughter/her…

But Helen's also only had about 2 sexual partners since she was a teenager, and both have been assholes, Noah and Max, although Max at least was too love-smitten with Helen to be anything but doe-eyed to her. She may have been something of a bad girl what two-plus decades ago, but at present, even if Helen is…

Remember that Whitney, in all her brilliance, wants to make it as a model in New York. And she's 18 and I'm sure she could get her name out to a totally reputable 'casting couch' operator that would get her into that party to show off her *ahem* assets to other big-wigs in the industry.

The show still had the POVs… but only kinda in the same way that the Game of Thrones books have Point of View chapters of uneven length and which can sometimes quickly alternate between the major characters. Although I generally like "The Affair" approach to POV narration, the structure sometimes requires too much…

Poor Cole just can't catch a break. Or at least he can't recognize a break when he does catch, like casually ignoring the feelings of and pushing away the beautiful, sympathetic woman that's in love with him. Also, as much as Cole agonizes over the family 'curse' - and to be fair, Scotty and their mother are THE…

The fact that you claim that you are "only watching to find out who really killed Scotty" already outs you as a Troll, and a pretty bad Troll at that, because no sane, rational person watches this show to find out who killed a character most viewers forget exists and who is so much of an ass that he even makes Noah…

I still can't tell whether Cole is my favorite character on this show because I like him as a character or because I just get 'Fringe' nostalgia whenever I see him on the screen. Regardless, I thought this was an excellent episode for Joshua Jackson, the actor, to show off his range and ability, and for Cole as a…

Also how would "white privilege" even function in late 9th century England? Does it give you the choice of being stabbed rather than burned to death by Vikings? Or a slightly less painful death when exposed to any of the myriad of Dark Age plagues?

I think that Alfred is actually the protagonist of the series and that Uthred's role is to help facilitate Alfred's rise to power, while he think he's serving only his own self interest. The stories are certainly intertwined, but Alfred is very much the more impressive and I think sympathetic character: He takes his…

I'm not sure that the point of the episode was to highlight Uthred's "rashness." The offer he got from Alfred is much better than what he could get by staying with Brida; He will be an important advisor to the King, can get new lands and titles handed to him for his service, and can even leverage his position to…

"I defeated your uncle Victarion and his Iron Fleet off Fair Isle, the first time your father crowned himself. I held Storm's End against the power of the Reach for a year, and took Dragonstone from the Targaryens. I smashed Mance Rayder at the Wall, though he had twenty times my numbers. Tell me, turncloak, what…

But he really has no reason to stay alive in the show, given that the two qualities Stannis is most renowned for in the Books 1) being just and 2) being good at warfare, he never got to show off in the series.

The Wildlings are just about useless against heavy infantry and cavalry and the Northmen Stannis has with him in the book - the Umbers, the Mountain Clans - know a lot more about the North south of the Wall than the Wildlings do. Really, going by the 'book,' Stannis was the best placed candidate to take out the…
